THE DEATH OF THE @ ZEN.

The loss of no other ruler, it may
be said, would cause such universal and
sincere sorrow as is called forth by the
death of Queen Victoria.
Her life as woman, wife and mother
furnishes a model for all womankind.
She was loved and will be best remem-
bered for qualities that are within
the reach of every woman. They ,grac-
ed her reign as Queen as they may
grace and hallow the humblest house
hold and they have erected for her
in the universal heart a throne more
enduring and greater than that she
has left behind. Gentle, benevolent
and righteous, she combined in her
hte all that is best in womanhood and
for these she received higher corona
ton than that of Queen.
1t is the worse for Great Britain that
her will was not always followed and
that her dearest wish remained ungrat-
flied, namely, that her reign might
close with her country at peace.

THE CITY ELECTION.

Tomorrow the city election will be
held and it will be the duty of every
citizen to express his choice Of city
officers and Councilmen. If he neg
lects this duty he. will have no right
afterward to complain if things go
wrong in the city government.
That the government now is in sorest
need of radical reform not even the
ringsters, themselves, who are guilty
of bringing it to this pass, deny.
The question is how to secure this
reform, whether by re-electing the old
ring and their party associates to
power or by turning the whole lot out
of Office from top to bottom and put
ting in their places men-Democrats-
who are not subject to the ring and Is
influences.
It is simple proposition; Will the
voters re-elect the same old crowd,
who have repeatedly broken their
promises to the people and betrayed
and sold out the most vital interests
of the city? Or will they turn them
out and put new men in?
The good citizen can hardly go amiss
here.

maker, fell at Barnet III 1878 Ed
ward irrevocably stained his name
by the murder of his brother Clarence
in the Tower, the victim being drown
ed in cask of Malmsey wine. The
King died sud, emily. April 8, 1883,
worn out by life of debauchery
His son Edward ", was born No
vember 4, 1470, and was boy of
thirteen when his father died. On
the death of the sovereign the youth
set out for London with Earl Rivers,
his uncle, but the heir fell into the
hands of Richard, Duke of Gloucester,
and later on also the Duke of York,
brother of the rightful King. The
boys were incarcerated in the Tower
and were never heard of again, they
undoubtedly being murdered by CON-
mand of Gloucester, who reigned as
Richard III. Shakespeare tells the
story.
Edward VI was born at Hampton
Court October II, 1887, the son of
Henry VIII. by his third Queen, Jane
Seymour. He also had his wars with
Scotland, the common heritage of
every English sovereign for two hun
dred years. He died at Greenwich,
July 6, 1850, possibly of poison, but
more probably from the administra-
tent to check the ravages of consump-
ton.
And so we come to Edward VII,
the new King, born at Buckingham
palace November g. 1S41, the second
child and eldest son of the late Vic
toria. His early education was under
private tutors, but he subsequently
spent one term at Edinburg Univer-
sity, a year at Oxford, and three or
four terms at Cambridge. He visited
the United States in 1860, in 1862 he
travelled in the east with Dean Stan
ley, and March 10, 1868, he was mar
ried to Princess Alexandra. (born De-
cember /, 1S44) eldest daughter of
King Christian TX of Denmark. Of
their five children the eldest son. now
succeeding, to the title of Prince
of Wales and heir to the throne
is Albert Victor Christian Ed
sor, January 8, 1864. His old title
was Duke of York.
The Prince of Wales has an annuity
of forty thousand pounds by act of
Parliament in 1863. and also the rev.
enues of the Duchy of Cornwall,
amounting to something like sixty or
seventy thousand pounds additional.
His wife, the Princess of Wales, has
an annuity of ten thousand pounds, to
be raised to thirty thousand in the
event of the death of her husband
The income of the new King, of
course, will be vastly greater. The
late Queen is supposed to have left
an estate of about twenty-five million
dollars, the bulk of which, presum-
ably, will go to the King. The lat
ter's financial affairs have not been
in good shape for years, and he is re-
puted to be largely in debt both to
tradesmen and money-lenders, as his
income, large as it has been, was not
sufficient for his station in life.

PARKERSBURG, w. Va, January
PA sensational tragedy is reported
from Graham Station, on the Ohio
River Railroad in the upper edge OF
Mason county. John Lawson was
charged with committing a criminal
assault on young woman aged %
years, who was an inmate of the poor
house, several days ago. A warrant
was issued for him, but he managed to
evade the officers until yesterday,
when Constable Will Clark found him
near Graham Station and attempted to
serve the warrant. Lawson opened fire
on the constable and shot seven times
at him, emptying his revolver. Only
two of the shots took effect, one max
ing only a slight flesh wound and the
other penetrating the right lung.
Clark is still alive, but he is splitting
blood and it is thought that he can
not recover
When the crowd, which gathered at
the sound of the shooting, saw the
constable fall, they started after Law
son, who fed. In the crowd was the
father of Clark, who fired both barrels
of shotgun at Lawson, wounding
him. With his ammunition all gone
his capture was an easy matter, and
he was soon taken by the posse which
formed to capture him.
Lawson was taken before Squire
Fisher this afternoon and was held
over for the grand jury. He is wound
ed in two places but not seriously.
Clark's condition this afternoon is
considered critical and if he should
die the people would probably attempt
to avenge his death as he stood very
high in the community.
No one seems to know the name of
the girl on whom the outrage was
committed, but she was a comely
young woman, an orphan, who has
made her home at the poor house for
some time.

THE HOUSE ADJOURNED
Aa an Expression of Sympathy With

WASHINGTON, January 22.-The
House to-day adopted a resolution ex-

cate the expression to the British

The action of the House was particu-
lGrly impressive in that the resolution
was adopted without a word of dis
sent or debate. The resolution fol-

1t is gratifying to know that the bill
introduced by MIR. S. G. Smith author
izing the city of Wheeling to furnish
electric light to private consumers will
have a clear course in the Legisla-
ture. 1t will simply restore to this
city a most valuable right which she
has been juggled out Of by interested
private parties aided by the present
city ring, which has betrayed the city
in this as in other matters pertaining
to its most vital interests, and done
its utmost to prevent the community
from ever recovering its lost rights.

THE SUPREME COURT SCANDAL.

Senator Pettigrew sustained his role
of fire-brand in the Senate and added
to the excitement of Mondays session
by reading a letter written twenty
three years ago by Senator Chandler
concerning the great fraud of '76 and
the part taken by General, now Sena-
tor Hawley and General Harlan as
members of the commission in the
Louisiana controversy, for which, the
letter stated they were afterward re-
warded by President Hayes, General
Harlan being made an Associate Jus
tice of the Supreme Court, his present
office. The fight was over the confir-
nation of Justice Harlan's son to be
Attorney General or Porto Rico. The
letter caused bitter personal coils
ion between Senators HSwley and
Chandler which probably delighted
the. turbulent soul of Mr.. Pettigrew
whose hand seems against every
member as nearly every members is
against him.
The episode in connection with the
confirmation of the much criticised
appointment of Justice Harlan's son
by the President while the admins
tration's policy of imperialism is I'M
der consideration by the Supreme
Court in the Porto Rico case. serves
to recall the fact not generally known
to the present generation, that Justice
Harlan, himself holds his high office
as reward for political labors in the
interest of the Presidential Fraud of
1876.
It is extremely unfortunate that the
membership of the highest court in
the land should be coupled with such
unsavory history. 1t is equally I'M
fortunate and most reprehensible that
the present administration should
have by any act furnished room for
questioning its integrity or given rise
to suspicion in the popular mind that
its decision in the important case be-
fore it may be the result of undue
Influence.
1t is well said that even the appear
ance of improperly in connection
with this highest court should be
avoided. Certainly this has not been
done either by the President, who
made these indecent appointments. or
by Justices Harlan and McKenna.
who should at least have counselled
their refusal, or by the Senate. which
should have refused to confirm them
Of all branches of the government

free from the breath of scandal.
