DEATH OF CROMWELL.
1t Came on His .'Fortunnte Day" and
While n Terrific Storm
Was Raging.

Cromwell was now 50 years old.
Eight years before he had written to
his wife that he felt the infrmities of
age stealing over him. His robust en-
ergies had been consumed by the eX-
hausting duties of his career. His govt
seemed to leave his leg and retire into
his body, and for four or five days he
was racked with intolerable pain in his
bowels and back, making it impossible
for him to sleep. He rode out once at
the head of his life guard, and spoke
kindly with George Fox, favoring the
fullest freedom of worship for the
QAkers. Before 1 came to him." said
Fox, 81 saw and felt watt of death go
forth against him"
While tossing on his bed he repined
for his dear Elizabeth; and then his
thoughts swept back to Robert, dead
at Felsted school 10 years ago; and he
vainly strove to check his tears with
the solace of that Scripture which he
knew in whole by heart.
The belief that had followed Crom-
we'll all through his life that he was
privileged to hold personal communion
with the Most High God was strangely
manifested in these last days. He be-
sought the Lord that for the good of
His people He would spare his life yet a
little longer. He then assured his coun-
sellers that his prayer had been granted,
using a manner Of such mysterious con-
fdence that his hearers were trans
ported with amazement. Fleetwood
sent q quick message to Henry Crom-
well in Ireland that his highness had
made very great discoveries of the Lord,
and had received assurances of being
restored; to which Henry replied that
the communication had given him some
relief.
But there came night when all saw
that the end was approaching. They
tried to get him to name his successor,
and in his thick death-gasps they af-
fected to believe that they heard him
say Richard" They offered him
drink. ut is not my design to drink
or Sleep" he said, "but my design is to
make what haste I can to be gone" All
night he tossed and all day he drew his
heavy suspirations. The widest storm
that England had known was raging
without. It was the anniversary of
his great victory of Dunbar-the ami
versary, too, of his great victory of
Worcester. And on this, his fortunate
day." his spirit passed out amid the
lightning.-Samuel Harden Church, in
Atlantic.

IN THE PHILIPPINES.
What the London "Times" Thinks the
United States Will and Should
London Times" !

London Times"
Decidedly the least agreeable feature in
the situation is the alleged existence OF
discomfort amongst the American trool s
and the use to which it is being put by
certain American politicians at home.
The existence Of such a spirit amongst
any considerable portion of the troops is
unquestionably serious matter. Dis
content may be limited to small part Of
the total force, and it is more than likely
to be exaggerated and inhamed by wire
pulers and interested politicians who care
little for the international position Of
America and great deal for some special
section of voters in the next Presidential
campaign. But it is not altogether unlike
~ to exist, and, if it exists, the United
States will have to find remedy. All
countries who pursue a great foreign policy
have had the same difficulty to contend
with, and all of them who have solved it
udNG SOlNSu IL III lllC GcIiO cOib Vi Noy
Foreign possessions cannot be held by
citizen soldiers, militia and volunteers.
A regular force enlisted for the purpose is
indispensable, particularly where those
possessions lie in the tropics.
We have no doubt that sooner or later
America will follow the example of
Great Britain, France, Germany and even
the Congo State in this matter The
mere notion that any extensive change
of policy in regard to the Philippines, for
which America is just about to pay Spain
95, OO0,O 900, is TO follow the check, if it be
a check, of General Lawton is not,
of course, to be entertained for moment.
America is on her trial in the eyes of the
world as an imperial power. 1t is need
less to dwell on the impression which vac
illation upon her part for such cause
would now create.

as industrious as ever, and a new story by
her will be published soon. Since she be-
gan to write in 1862 but two years have
gone by without a novel from her.
The late Ex-Governor Oglesby, of Hi
nois was once asked what he got by his
overland trip to California, in lS47, in
search of gold ono gold," he replied,
''but enough experience to make ME what

w. B. Stratton, who has just sold the
famous independence gold mine for $l0,-

A Small Dogs Battle With a Cactus.

Otto Kleeman, who lives on Belmont
Street, recently acquired beautiful cac-
tus, which be established in his household,
unmindful of the fact that his dog held
the opinion that his master should have
no other pets before him. Now he has no
cactus and the detected semblance Of a
dog. The little animal espied the plant
shortly after its arrival, ard issued chal-
lenge. In default of acceptance he gave
battle, but retired at the flst shock to re-
consider. The enemy had more teeth
than battalion Of bull terriers, and all Of
them were newly sharpened. He was no
gutter, however, and, with rising anger,
he renewed the attack. This time his op-
ronent came down, landing on him heavi-
~, and with the touch Of a barbwire fence.
The two rolled over and over in death
embrace, and the cactus was finally van
pushed, torn into shreds and scattered
about the room. But it was costly VIC
tory. The conquerer is punctured in more
places than his owner can count. He may
live to fight another day, but it will not be
with the cactus.-Portland "Oregonian. !"

AGAINS~ LYNCHING.
From One of the Four Southern News
papers on the Right Side.
Richmond "Timcs" dem }

Richmond Times" DEM
az do not approve of lynch law under
any circumstances. So says Clarke
Howell, editor of the Atlanta "Constitu-
tion," in a telegram to the New York
"World, and so we add another to the
list of those editors who have come over to
to our side.
How can any law-abding citizen, how
can any man who is not brutal, read the
account of that horrible affair in Georgia
OH Sunday afternoon without saying as
Clarke Howell says, do not approve
of lynch law under any circumstances.
We admit all that is said against the vic
tim. He was n brute, liend, devil
He deserved the severest punishment that
the law of :: civilized land prescrbes.
But in the name of reason has society
been benefited has any good thing been
accomplished by this horrible lynching?
The victim was chained to tree, was
slashed here and there with knife, oil
was poured upon his person and the torch
applied. In his desperation he broke his
chain, but one of the lynchers pushed him
back into the fire, while an immense
crowd stood by and yelled in savage glee.
After the flames had done their work the
body was torn to pieces, the heart was cut
out and bits of charred flesh and bone
were passed around as souvenirs of the
occasion.
1t is said that Judge Brawley, of South
Carolina, at the trial Of the Lake City
lynchers, shed tears. "Not efIeminate
tears" says one of the Georgia papers,
''but tears shed by strong, able, up
right, Just and honest man in sorrow for
the shame which lynchers have brought
upon his beloved State" Well may
Southern men weep for the fair name of
their beloved land. Surely the lynchers
have brought reproach upon the whole
| South.

Kept the Whisky.

The passing of small flask of whisky
through the Chicago post office aroused
the ire of the postmaster Of Louisville
KY, to whom the article was mailed fol
delivery to a resident of that city. He re-
turned the empty package to the Chicago
Office yesterday, with . an official letter
calling the attention of the Chicago office
to the fact that violation Of the postal
laws had been committed in admitting
the liquor to the mails. Superintendent
Uabill, of the Bureau of Correspondence,
sent the following official reply
POSTMASTER, Louisville:-We regret to
say that the whisky passed through Chic
ago unnoticed. We are glad that Louis
vile discovered it, which, of course, was
not entirely unexpected. We thank you
for returning the empty flask. "-Chicago

THURSDAY, MAY 4, 1899.
is REFORM THE OBIECT2

Tie Virginia Democrats who have called
a conference OF men of their party to meet
at Richmond on the 10th inst, will have
an opportunity to turn that meeting INTO
an earnest movement for genuine reform
in political conditions in the State, or
make it narrow, partisan affair. Which
will it be? Those who are the advocates
of the meeting claim, by indirection, that
the people are being deprived, in some
way, of the opportunity of choosing then
own representatives in the Senate of the
United States. The primary object OF
the meeting is, therefore, declared to
rectify that wrong. If the wrong exists,
ard we know it does, how has it come
about? Has it not been the outgrowth OF
the fraudulent methods that have been
introduced in Virginia by the unscrupu-
leadership of Democratic rings? Until
these rings got control of the State who
ever heard of the corruption of Virginia
Legislature, or the necessity for changing
the method of electing United States Sena-
tors? This being true, the movement for
reform in Virginia politics shouldbe placed
upon q broader basis than is contemplated,
if we understand it right, by the "May
conference" There should be a move
ment for honesty in all elections in the
State. That will be the only way in which
corrupt rings can be driven from power
The present election laws are the creation
of su:h rings, were made for their especial
benefit, and if continued in use will give
to the rings almost perpetual control Of
the State as well as control Of the party tc
which the machine is attached.
If the "May conference" wants to effect
the special reform for which it WAS called
the best and only way to do is to lay the
AK to the root of the primary evil,-the
vicious election laws Of the State. Nc
honest man can doubt that the originator'
of the present elections methods had two
objects in view, their own elevation tt
power and the overthrow of the Republi
can party in the State. Tie consent 0
honest Democrats was obtained 10 the pas
sqge of the Walton law by flightenin!
them with the dangers of negro supre
macy. 1t is now plain that the pretens'
of the danger Of negro supremacy was al
imposition, as the strength Of the Republi
can party in Virginia is found n he white
districts, while the "back belt" has be
come the reliance of the Democratic rinG
for its continuance in power.
If the "May conference" wishes to place
itself in an honest light before the world
let it inaugmate movement which will
not only remove all opportunity for cor
ruption in Senatorial elections but will
give us an honest ballot in all elections.
A splendid opportunity is presented. Will
the "May conference" men have the
courage to utilize it?

Only One Holiday.

The Chinese have only one holiday in
the year, and that is at their New Year,
which date is movable, but generally falls
some time in February. This is the time
they square up everything and pay off all
their debts. Any one not being able to
pay all his accounts, and to start the new
year with clean sheet, is posted as de-
aulter, and is looked upon with suspicion
by every one. 1t is considered family
disgrace not to pay every one up at that
time.

A Split in Alabama.
Richmond Times.l

NlcnmOnQ Times.
"There is a serious split in the Demo
cratic party of Alabama" Gays a special
from Birmingham. Lines are we'll de.
fined and the coming struggle will be wal
to the knife. Governor Johnston's effort
to repeal in an extra session of the Leg.
islature the recently enacted Law provid-
ing for a constitutional convention will be
fought to bitter end by the Democratic
Executive Committee, and United States
Senators Morgan and Pettus are expected
to lend active support to the Governor
opponents. Indeed the question of Johns
toms standing for a senatorship in the
near future is involved.
Tonight State Chairman Lowe has is
sued an appeal to all Democrats bespeak-
ing their support for the committee. He
declares the majority has spoken in the
matter and should rule. He points out
that the State convention of his party has
declared for the new constitution, the
committee has declared it party issue
and urges voters to fall in line."
We rather think that this is the begin
ming of new order of things in the South.
Hitherto the white people Of this section
have been held together in one party in
order to protect themselves against negro
rule, but with the negro question elimi-
mated it is a foregone conclusion that the
whites will split, and for our part we be-
lieve that such change would be great
blessing. The South is in sad need to-day
of respectable minority party.

When this tube gets inhamed you have a

when it is entirely closed deafness is the

THE Martin and Daniel faction Of the

talking about the views of Thomas Jeffer-
son and those of the other Virginia fathers,
but they ignore the fact that Jefferson and
all the delegates from Virginia to the con-

opposed the method that was adopted for
the election of United States Senators.
These Virginia fathers were in favor Of
having Senators elected by the people.

VIZ hear people suggest that the best
way to settle the race problem would be
for the Southern people to provide means
for the removal of the colored people to
Africa or some other country. The
Southern Democratic politician would
never consent to such movement. With
the race question removed FROM politics
the present political leaders of the South
would soon be cast aside. They know
this and would never consent 10 the de-
struction of the only issue which makes
them succeed.

A Rose From Virginia.

Columbus, KY, News
Mr.. H. G. Baker, of this city, received
last week from a relative in Virginia
Damask rose which has a remarkable fam
lily history. It's age, if nothing else, would
entitle it to prominent place in the
flower garden, as its ancestral rose dates
back TO the early colonial days in the Old
Dominion. In the year 1744 Col. Thos.
Bouldin and his wife, Nancy Clarke, great
greatgrandparents of Mr. Baker, removed
from Pennsylvania and settled in Char
lotte, then Lunenburg county, Virginia,
opening up farm which still remains in
the possession of some of their descendants.
The good wife having an eye for the
beautiful, brought with her slip of a rose
which she planted in the then wilderness
Of Virginia and which since as the spring
time comes has shed its fragrance over the
old place. The one sent Mr.. Baker is a
ineal descendent Of this old rose, and
claims an authentic family history of more
than ane hundred and fifty years. He
Las planted it in his garden here and
hopes to enjoy some of its beauty and fra
