A King.

1t is King that the assassin's hand
has struck down at Monza, King who
in reign OF twenty-five trying years
never failed in any kindly quality.
Fearless in the face Of disease as on the
battlefield, just, merciful, fosterer OF
the arts OF learning, placing the welfare
OF Italy above the fortunes of his house,
Humbert L. deserved even more than
his remarkable father the surname, IL re
galantuOm0. In the breaking down of
regulations of the leaders of all polite
al parties the people of Italy have come
to look u BON their King as the one man
who stood for something stable and
who might possibly extricate them from
their difficulties.
Humberps task was thankless one,
with little promise of glory. Coming
to the throne when the first flush of en-
thusiasm over a united Italy was fad
ing and the material losses we're becom-
ing evident as the price which the for
mer independent States had paid for
union, overshadowed by the fame Of
his father and of the other makers OF
the new Italy, Humbert l. was obliged
to guide his country through it's bite

to undo the wrongs and omissions OF
centuries in few short years. AS to
the wisdom of his course, and whether
a greater man might not have found
better way, opinions must differ;
they cannot as TO his whole-souled de-
votion 10 his country and his task.
One brave act, as knightly deed as
history records, he was able to do.
When Naples went wild with supersti
tious terror in the cholera epidemic of
1884 King Humbert went straight to
the city and side by side with Cardinal
Sanfelice, exposed himself to the
plague in the hospitals and in the foul
est slums, day after day, till the people
took heart again. That Italians can
never forget.
Whatever motive impelled his
wretched murderer to Stay, his act has
deprived Italy of her main stay. 1t
will be long before she can give her
new King the confidence that she just
ly gave King Humbert.-New York

Utility Of a Board.

The title Of certain bill, enacted
into law some years since, should have
been, if recent developments are to be
credited, ga bill to establish board of
un-heaith." Some time ago there was
a smallpox scare in Hardwick. A To-
cal physician maintained that the dis
ease was smallpox. There were X
element and CONSERVATION. There
was an exodus of many people from
Hardwick. The State board of health
was called in. DR.. Hamilton declared
that the disease affecting the individual
whose coming to the village had pro-
duced the connection was not small
pox. The local physician still main
tanned that it was, but he was sat down
upon by the board of health and the
quarantine was removed. 1t now turns
out that DR.. Hamilton was wrong and
DR.. Darling, the local practitioner, was
right. These, at least, are the things
said and believed in and around the
scene of the renewed scare. 1t is con-
coded now that the disease is small
pox. The State had obligingly rails.

vile has opened pest house, and
when the exodus from Hardwick first
began some Italians, who had been ex
p 'sed, came to Barre, so the repor
runs. The board of health is opposed
to monopolies. vaccinate appears tc
be the moral of this tale.

prize money, as he has stated that he
did not participate in the battle" As
matter of fact, he has 80 stated, but
then he started for the scene of action
as soon as he heard of it, and did man
age to get within hearing, if not sight,
of the firing. The Harvard was at
Altares, discharging stores, when the
Spanish ships came out, but with the
utmost possible dispatch got under
way and stood to the westward to Join
the fleet. OF course that wasn't par
ticipation in the battle, as participation
is understood by laymen, but then,-
well, Admiral Sampson isn't layman,
and the difference between some things
and some other things is not 80 terribly
great.-N. Y. Times.

Tweedledum and Tweedledee.

Rear Admiral Sampson, who might
reasonably have been expected to use a
wide liberality in deciding who was
and who was not present at the battle
off Santiago harbor, has shown, on the
contrary, disposition to settle at least
some such controversies in much the
same way that another of them was
settled by the American public. The
point at issue was whether Rear Ad-
miral Cotton, who commanded the
Harvard on the day when Cervera's
feet was destroyed, should be allowed
to intervene in the suit for prize money
brought by Admiral Sampson. The
latter, when questioned on the subject,
at once expressed surprise that any
claim in behalf Of the Harvard should
have been considered. 81 know no
reason" he said, "why the Captain of
the Harvard should have a share OF the

The Price.

He did his duty day by day,
He wronged no one, but toiled away,
With love for all mankind.
He saved a little now and then,
He worshiped God and trusted men,
And sighed not nor repined.
He struck 1t rich by chance one day,
And threw the tools he'd used away,
And friends fiocked round him thenl
But one thing that he had before
That gave him 1oy-is his no more,
He's lost his faith in men.
He looks upon all men today
AS wolves who'd steal his wealth away,
Who'd cheat him, II they could
What say your A o his heaps of gold
Worth what he gave-the faith of old,
In human brotherhood?

"Important if true," was the COM
ment the report evoked of the surren-
der of Roer general with an army of
5000 soldiers, their arms and equip

was not true, that the event giving rise
to the despatch could have no greater

my than the occasional capture of a
British force upon the existence of the
invading army.

The esteem ed Nsws of Burlington is
still strenuously contending, in the
matter of the military post, that the
agent is greater than the principal, that
secondary things have precedence
over primary, and, like 81 Prime in the
play, could probably prove it if Old Bill
-what's-his- name-was alive.

Majority

In the four years since this record
was made these States have continued
steadfast in the Republican faith. In
the nature of things the pluralities, in
some of them, have not been main
tanned, in the later elections, at the
enormous height to which they were
pushed in an exciting national election,
but in none have they sunk, in State
or congressional elections, to any APP
proach toward the danger line. If any
follower of the prophet of Popuism is
able to figure out any com bination of
these six States through which he can
obtain the AZ electoral votes required
for his election he would seen to be a
necromancer of no mean order.
In view of the apathy, dense as death.
that appears to possess Vermont at this
time, Bryan is likely to have the hope
born to him that, by an energetic cam
paign in the States of the Middle West,
his needed AZ electoral votes may be
won even from the very unpromising
present outlook in the region from
whence they must apparently be OBJ
tanned. Vermont's majority may en-
courage or dispel that hope.

TROUBLE AT THE

Ships Cannot Berth
With Safety.

There is pilikia at the new Channel
wharf and the recent Kona storms are
supposed to have made it, Sand has
piled up under the wharf and in the
ships berths until there is barely nine
teen feet of water there, insufficient
for ocean-going steamers. Superintend-
'ent of Public Works McCandless called
the attention of the Governors Coun-
Gil to this matter early yesterday
morning. He said that so much sand
had drifted in from the channel that
the depth had been reduced from TWEEN
ty-eight feet to nineteen feet. He read
proposition from Hackfeld & Co.,
stating that they would undertake to
dredge the harbor at that point to give
the maximum depth originally intended
If the Government would promise tC
have them reimbursed. They asked
that the Government in such even
recommend to the Legislature that thu
amount so expended be returned t
them by the Legislature. The Govern
ment could not promise Hackfeld tina
their money would be returned in tn
/ event that they undertook to dredg
: the harbor. II such vessels as the Al
goa and other vessels of her class cam
