ITALY Is TRANQUIL.

1t does not appear that the sudden
and tragic taking off of King Humbert
will imperil the Italian monarchy.
King Emanuel Ill has arrived at
Rome, the oaths of fidelity have been
taken or will be to-day, and the new
regime appears to be secure. Through
out the country there is sincere
mourning for the dead monarch, and
nowhere are there indications that adj
vantage will be taken of the murder
by any political faction. The republic
can element in Italy has been grow
ing steadily stronger of late, and there
have been heard mutterings of a pos
sible revolution from time to time,
but in the present emergency 1t is
probable that all patriotic citizens
will support the existing government
The entire country is tranquil, and
promises to continue In that condi-
ton.
The body of the late king will be
buried in the Pantheon at Rome, o
magnificent structure erected by
Agrippa 25 B. c., and which for thir-
teen hundred years has served as a
Christian church, having been detli-
Gated by Pope Boniface ", a. D. GOT.

this building, one being the artist

INTELLIGENCER ARISE.

Tie Intelligencer affects to believe
that the more Republicans leave that
party the better the party will be of.
It's glad Hon. NJ C. C. Church has
gone, rejoices in the disaffection of
Senator Wellington and his large fol-
lowing, and would evidently be pleased
if more of the old wheel-horses and
party leaders would leave, probably for
the reason that their absence would
give the big bosses and gen
cral manipulating gang more free
dom to run the machine to
suit their own sweet will. The In
selligencer's denunciation of Senator
Wellington is particularly severe. The
trouble with Mr.. Wellington is that he
was a good deal better than his former

REPUBLICAN VITUPERATION.

In rabid, rampant, untruthful and
deceptive Republican newspapers, of
which the Wheeling Intelligencer is a
striking example. one finds al
most daily vindictive arraign-
ments of the Democratic and
other political parties, not ex-
,cepting the Prohibition, while Re-
publican speakers of the Teddy Roose-
vel. stripe publicly and blatantly pro-
claim their belief that half their fellow
citizens are thoroughly bad at heart
and unworthy to be trusted because
they do not bow down and worship
Messrs. Mckinley, Hanna, Platt, Elk
ms, and the rest of the administration
crowd. According to these opponents
of modern Republicanism, everybody
who agrees with them is all right and
a saint, and everybody who dissents is
all wrong and sinner, and from this
premise they argue that if any other
political organization than the Repub-
lican party should win the country
would go straight to perdition and be
engulfed in rolling pillows of flame,
while there would be a swirl of blood
red wings about the capitol at Wash
ington and the air of mountain, valley
and prairie alike would resound with
the shrieks and walls of lost souls.
That is current Republican argument,
and is but paraphrased In the follow
ing clipping from the Chicago Times
Herald:
Not only would the election of Mr..
Bryan mean dishonor to the American
people, as was said by Senator Hoar, but
1t would bring disaster and disgrace upon
the republic.
To-day the proclaimed doctrines of the
Democratic party consist of nothing but
negatives. 1t is anti-everythng. Where
there are not enough living issues for the
like the DOGGY of Imperialism" that it
may make war upon them. Its para
mount" issue is a windmill kept going by
lung power without one breath of reason"
The fact is that the Times-Herald
and Intelligencer hue and cry is mere
rubbish, and is so recognized by every
sensible man. The Intelligencer lately
denounced the Prohibitionists as Wis
iorary and ridiculed them generally,
as it defames the Democracy about
every day in the year The Prohibi-
zionist is entitled to respect, consider
alton and tolerance, and the Demo-
cratic party is made up of as good,
honest, high-minded and patriotic cit
liens as breathe the breath of life. 1t
is {. party entitled to high respect. 1t
believes In the principles which un-
derlle liberty and democratic institu-
tions, and it believes in America and in
american ideas 1t represents the ma
jority of the people better than any
political organization ever formed, and
its tenets and beliefs come near to the
popular ideal. But IL does not believe
in lot of things the Republican party
is committed to, and for that reason
fanatical administrationists throw
mud. They only besmirch their own
fingers.

Readers of the Intelligencer remark
ed yesterday that for the first time
since the trial of Caleb Powers. at
Georgetown, KY, began, the paper
named made a conspicuous display of
the evidence. This was because the
defendant was on the stand. Ex-
elusive readers of the IntelNgencer are
in ignorance of the evidence for the
prosecution, just as they suppose the
Democratic Congressional Convention
for the First West Virginia district
was held on the 2Sth of July.

DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET
THEY ARE PROBABLY ALIVE.

News which has filtered through
from Picking within the last two days
to the various governments, including
our own, makes it appear that with
the exception of lie German represen.
tative all the foreign ministers at the
Chinese capital are probably alive, al
though many of the attaches and
guards have been killed or wounded.
That the ministers are penned up in
one or more Of the consulates is GER
tain, and while no attacks appear to
have been made upon them for more
than two weeks past they are surround
ed and hemmed in by a hostile force
which may at any time recommence
the work OF slaughter, particularly
when forward movement is made by
the allied army at Tien Tsin. That
the legationers were alive a few days
ago is good news. but their peril is by
no means removed. The remnants of
the international force must by this
time be very short of ammunition, and
with depleted numbers are less able to
withstand an attack than before They
cannot hold out indefinitely, and re-
lief or determination is probably the
only solution of the situation.
At Tien Tsin the allies, now num-
bering about 10000 men, must cover
seventy-five miles to reach Picking.
1ney will probably be opposed every
rod of the way. Their course must be
along the railroad, which must be re-
paired as they go. Five miles a day
will be good progress, and thus two
weeks will elapse, if everything goes
well, before they come in sight of the
imperial city. Then there will prob
ably be a seige. or at least an assault.
Through all this the legationers must
live. Can they do it? is the question
now confronting the powers. 1t is
true, China may surrender before the
advance of the allies. and delivering up
the virtual prisoners, seek for terms.
That would be the sensible course, but
suppose she don't do 1t, and the fanat-

In search of vast and quick fortune.
To glance at the figures of the swiftly
uppiling fire losses in this country is TO
see the pressing necessity of this inven-
ton. 1t has been settled beyond a doubt
that this is due to the increase in the use
of electricity. And not only in property
losses but also in losses of life is America
paying for her eager seizure upon cleo
tdical energy before knowledge of how to
handle it was sufficiently developed.
We will not go backward. Electricity
will be used more and more. Therefore
we must make haste to discover how it
can be isolated and controlled so that it
will exert itself only when and where it
is beneficial
