THE ORIGINAL SOLD TOWN"

Marietta! Marietta!
Oldest town in thirty states!
Sprung from the primeval forest,
At a fpture empires gates;
Where the smiling blue Musklngum
Marries the 0hio's food;
Where there is flow of coal oil
And aristocratic blood:
With wealth of tales romantic,
"reminiscences and-mud
fingered round you in the old days
Marietta!
l lcok backward Marietta,
To the days used to know,
When ''agltated metal
On your papers long ago:
| was feeling mighty wealthy,
For made six plunks a week,
was printer in the daytime
And at night l wrestled Greek;
Twas little tough, grant it,
Climbing old Parnassus's peak;
But had to get there somehow, Ma.
fietta.
l remember, Marietta
For those bright days haunt me
still
How used to wander daily
To your college on the hill.
There are two scenes stand out clear
ly
In my memory's photograph
When in a professor S study
We locked up a yearling calf;
When we tied the alligator
To the top of the flagstaff,
All of which we soon regretted, Mari
eta.
There was one time, Marietta,
We repainted all the chairs
That the profs sat on in chapel,
And we took them unawares;
For when they arose that morning,
'Tis a recollection dear
How those chairs unto their trousers
With affection did adhere.
Though they only caught cne fellow,
They expelled him for a year.
In those seasons sophomore, Marietta.
There were times though, Marietta,
In those old days fair and bright,
When TO use familiar parlance,
You were almost out of sight;
For the old Ohio river
Would go out upon spree;
IL Woutu rise and BamDol Ger you
Till the roofs we could not see,
And the people to the hilltops
Would fncontlnently flee
From the moisture of the springtlme,
Marietta.
But for all that. Marietta,
Still | love you, don't you know;
For the memory yet fingers
OF the scenes of long ago
As wander hack in fancy
II seems but little while
Since saw summer moonrse
Over your romantic isle,
While the face of the dark river
Lit up with a sudden smile,
Through the white dream OF the
moonlight, Marietta.

Queen wiIhelminia's Life.

The life of young Queen is no.
tceable, but only by reason Of its mo
notsny and dullness. For Instance.
note this account OF the days doings
of pretty Queen wilhelmina. AS to
her daily habits, says writer, she
sets a good example by rising every
morning at 6:aO O'Clock and sits down
to breakfast with her mother at Z.
After the morning meal an hour is
spent in family affairs; then at 8 she
commences the audiences with her
Ministers and the work with her sec
retarles. At II O'Clock she goes out to
drive, returning to the palace at 12;15,
always taking care to appear at a
window on the first floor, from which
she bows smilingly to such of her 10y
all subjects as happen to be standing
before the palace. AT 1890 she
lunches, and, II the weather is warm
this meal is served on a balcony ov-
erlooking the palace gardens or in the
garden itself. Every Monday at 2
o'clock the Ministers arrive to confer
with her. On other days the after
Moons are taken up with private les
sons until O'Clock. She goes out to
drive again until o'clock, when she
returns hcme TO tea. Dinner is served
at $50 and 1t is to this meal that
guests are invited, for the two Queens
never dine alone more than twice a
week. When there is no reception af-
ter dinner the Queen passes her even
ing in reading, retiring punctually at
IL. She is noted for her extreme
punctuality and expects the same of
her encourage. She is very fond of
visiting the porcelain works at Delft
and can often be met on the road from
The Hague to Delft ON bright after
moons.

River News.

The river situation presented moth.
ing new yesterday, the same condl-
tions prevailing that caused a suspen-
sion Of navigation earlier in the week
The river is still falling slowly and
heavy ice is running yet. The boats
are all quiet. most of the men having
gone to their homes.
The ferry boat is still making regu-
lar trips acress the Ohio at this point.
The ice in the Muskingum softened
somewhat yesterday owing to the
warmer condition of the atmosphere
and slight rise would probably soon
carry all the ice out of the Muskiug-
um.

Kentucky.

Al this time. when political dissen-
sion and strife are Keeping affRirs in
Kentucky In a turmoil, the New York
World. noted for It's strict adherence
to Democratic principles, casts aside
all prejudice and drives at the real
cause OF the trouble in this wise:
Goebel became conspicuous by max
Ing himself an assassin. He plotted to
make himself Governor OF Kentucky
by the assassination of representative
government under the cover of cum
ningly unjust system of laws of his
own devislng. There was counter
plot to defeat him in this assassina-
tlon by the counter-assassination of
that which is even more fundamental
than representative government--so-
cial order itself. Wednesday in the
very hour of his evil triumph he was
assassinated, falling apparently NOR
tally wounded into the arms of two of
his friends, one a notorious assassin,
the other notorious bravo.
A week ago it was the roasting Of a
half-witted negro boy at high noon in
the streets of one of the oldest and
most reputable communities in the
stale, the citizens squabblng in the
ashes of the pyre over "relics" of
burnt flesh. And now Kentucky pre-
sents this spectacle of rampant polfti-
cal and civil savagery.
The disease is not local. 1t perme-
ates the whole State. In a civilized
State human beings are not burned to
death by their fellow beings. In a
civilized state legislatures do not pass
laws to enable the subversion of popu-
lar government and the substitution of
despotlsm. In civilized state politl-
cal parties do not nominate assassins
for high Office and put their machinery
in the custody of braves and thugs. In
civilized state "best citizens" do not
meet injustice cloaked in legal form
by injustice marching at the head OF
drunken and armed mcbs to the state
capital to overawe the Legislature. In
a civilized state assassins do not stand
rifle in hand at the windows of public
buildings to fire upon men walking
along the streets in broad daylight
1t is net enough for Kentucky to
hang its head in shame This is no
time for apology and excuses. 1t is
time for action. There are scores of
thousands of men and women in Ken
lucky who know what civilization
means. Let them assert themselves.
Let them make beginning of the
speedy end Of those false ideas of
'honcT," of those excusings and ap-
plaudings of murder, of those verdicts
of ''justifiable homicide" of those
lynchings and burnings, of the domin-
alton of the ruffian and blackguard, of
hero-worship for the wretch who "has
killed his man"
Let them have done with the gentle
man of the old school," with his revol-
yer and his bowie knife and his pas
sion for lynchings and for all forms of
violence and his contempt for law and
order.
Kentucky has been putting herself
further and further outside the pale
of civilization. Now is the time for
the return journey-not after she has
lynched the assassin of Goebel but
now.

The Register double-leaded an arti-
Gle last evening because the Leader
stated yesterday morning that post
Office inspector was here on business
OF a sensational nature; and their
manner would infer that they would
like 10 make trouble where none ex-
lists. The business of the inspector
had nothing whatever to do with the
Marietta post offiee, but concerned an
ofiice in Washington county. What we
stated was the truth. but 10 keep from
misleading persons who don't want TO
be misled, which evidently does not
include the Register. we should have
elaborated upon 1T and stated the office
involved. but for obvious reasons we
preferred not % do so.

The state of West Virginia is on the
high road of prosperity. The record of
last year was a splendid Cne, but It is
believed that during 1900 all figures
will be beaten in the growth of human
endeavor in that state. Investors from
outside states are pouring in, and
never before in its history has there
been such activity. Business CT all
kinds is booming, everybody is en-
ployed and everybody is happy. The
Little Mountain state was one of the
first below the line to turn her face
against Democracy, and her people are
now prospecting as result OF their di-
vorce from free silver and free trade

DR.. o. A. Lambert, member of the
City Council from the Fourth Ward,
stated to the Leader last night that he
would not be candidate for re-elec-
tion this spring. He said he felt that
the demands made upon his time by
his business were such as would not
allow him to devote any of his atten-
ton to the work of Councilman. AL
though he has served but one term,
DR.. Lambert has shown himself a
gentleman of ability and good judg-
ment in this trying position and the
people Of the Fourth Ward will do
well If they choose a successor to him
who is capable of filling his official
shoes.
