The queen of Roumania is perhaps
the only royal parsonage who acqnits
herself as public lecturer. For some
time past her majesty has been accus-
toned to give lectures privately in her
palace to the young ladies of the lead
ing families in Roumania. These lit
erary assemblies proved SO attractive
that the demands for admission have
grown inconvenient, SO that the queen
has thought it expedient to lecture in
the high school for all the pupils who
cared to attend. Before her majesty
could do this, however, she had to OBJ
tain regular professors diploma from
the king and the minister of instruc-
ton.

ltnow appears that various counties
in the state are having difficulty in
loanlne the state school funds which
they have in heir possession. We well
remember when these school fund loans
were eagerly sought, and when the
county auditor had a great pulp
through the placing of these loans.
Will some of our free silver friends
please explain the ,rue inwardness of
the situation? Will they tell us how
it is that money is so cheap and plentl-
full?

Assassins in India.

Even in far-off India the assassin
is not unknown. The earl of Mayo,
governor general of India. was assas-
siaated by Shere Ali, convict, in the
Andaman Isles, in 1872, and an attempt
was made to assassinate Lord Lytton
while viceroy of India in 1873.

also shows that no one has appeared

papers have been received beyond the

the committee has Investigated the

proof submitted either that 90 Mr.

In view Of these facts. the committee

the purposes which Boycc had In View

nbottud and advised him In carrying
out these purposes. ana that this state
~ affairs existed while Mr.. Hanna was
present nt his headquarters. This
view " strengthened by two facts;
First. that many of the witnesses
whose testimony apparently would
have thrown much llTht upon the sub
icct under inquiry. denied the iuriHdic-
tlnn ~ the committee ANA refused 10
testify. under the advice of counsel
who stated that they represented the
interests Of llathbonc and Dick and
Senator Hanna. and. second, that Mr..

seem 60 have reached them. calling
upon them 60 appear before the state
