gress, and letting the second century Of
our constitutional history begin where
the first century practically begun"
In early days the matter was not so
important as it has since become. The
inauguration Of presidents was min
isterial act, not attended by much GER
emony, and an. examination of the re-
cords show that in the early history OF
the republic we had much better weather
ON the 4th of March than has been en-
joyed the latter part of the century.
There have been altogether twenty
eight Inauguration days, thirteen of
which were pleasant and twelve We're
stormy. There is no record of the wea-
Their on the other three days. During
the first fifty years there were thirteen
Inauguration days. Eight Of them were
pleasant, two were stormy, and the
weather Of three is not reported. Since
| then there have been fifteen inauguration
days. Only five of them We're pleasant;
ten were stormy.
| President Harrison, while reviewing
| the procession on the day of his inaugu-
alton, and watching the soldiers and citi-
zens tramping through the slush that
was ankle deep upon the pavements,
with their garments soaked with snow
and rain, remarked to a gentleman stand
ng near him: This storm will cost more
lives than battle" And the mortality
reported in the newspapers as due to ex-
posture, not only among those who were
ngaged in the procession. but also among
the spectators, confirmed his opinion.

Forget the love that | fondly dreamed
Would be mine through eternity;

But sweet visions will ever rise
OF n manly face so dear to me,
With its loving, laughing eyes.
The tender words have heard so oft,
Still ring through heart and brain;
They ring and sing, till my pulses throb
With a bitter, maddening pain.

I cannot keep those sweet memories
back
They are far too strong for me,
They come and go, they rise and fall
Like the waves Of troubled sea
They dash against my broken heart,
These memories they are too strong.
They leave me like 4 stranded ship,
Whose helm and anchor are gone.
But yet / know in some future time,
Though shattered and wrecked by the

Cooperative WORDS.n
What Certain Ones Mean in Legal
Documents and Business
transactions.

Cooperative words,'" said member
of the district bar to Washington
Star reporter, "are of the utmost i'm
portance in legal documents and in
business affairs.
Probably the most seriously i'm
fairs is composed Of but three letters.
and 1t appears in print thus: Yes.
When she says yes to man it means
that she transfers her heart and hand
and formerly all of her property to
him who asks her to be, etc. This
little word establishes the most i'm
portant contract of society, and,
while this contract may afterward be
dissolved by mutual consent, if one
OF the contracting parties demurs
and backs out suit for damages is
open to the other.
In auction sales the property put
up is anybody's until the auctioneer
says gone or sold and the hammer
drops. No matter how the sale is re-
GREETED, or how much the parties
would like to rstract it, it stands and
the courts will sustain it.
In a will they are give, devise and
bequeath.' Real property is devised
and personal property bequeathed.'
In note the borrower must
promise to pay, and in a bond he
must bind himself.
In some states in deed certain
words are necessary to convey real
estate. The courts have held pener-
ally, however, that the word grant,
will carry good title. In New York,
for instance, the operative words CON
stitute quite a formula, and are
grant, bargain, sell, assign, transfer,
set over and convey That's the old
form. Now the words grant and re-
lease are sufficient.
I'm lease the word let must he
used. They have an odd formula in
New York, used for centuries. prob-
ably, consisting Of grant, demise and
to farm let,' and it applies to all
kinds of property. In a quit-claim
deed the words 'quit-claim' must be
used"

1t is not, therefore, either to further
the cause of political reform by eliminat-
ing injustice and fraud, that these Dem
ocratic papers oppose the amendment
Of the new constitution, but because
the proposed amendment, in accord with
the general declaration of that instru-
ment would make it possible for every

challenged, upon proof Of residence.
Clearly the Democrats don't want that
they don't want all the people to vote.
To Every Evenings suggestion as to
cheapening the ballot, we have this re-
ply to make-a Republican free ballot
is far more honorable ballot than
Democratic pauperized ballot paid for

Washington, Jan. 1S.-The annual at

By an epidemic Of pneumonia, bronchitis

Yet nothing is done.
This question has been agitated for
over one hundred years. The selection

QUEEN VICTORIA.

The news OF Queen yictoria's serious
illness which has filed American news
papers with enlogistic sketches OF the
Queen and her reign OF more than
sixty years, makes it probable that the
aews Of today will chronicle her death.
In that event the foremost woman of her
time, and the sovereign of the greatest
empire the world has ever seen, will have
passed away-the longest reign of any
English sovereign will have ended.
During her long reign the Queen has
been recognized AS much as friend as
The sovereign Of her people; and it is
probable that no other parsonage, of any
station Or quality, would be mourncd as
sincerely and deeply as this woman who
has won worldwide respect and veneer
alton as wife, mother and Queen,
| wide. Nltnont having uCVtltfu,ff ally
marked lrilliance Of intellectual en-
lowlncnt Queen Victoria has been great
N strength Of her character and in the
poise of its elements. These were sufli-
sient always to meet the demands of the
many and varied crisiscs that have
marked career unique in the history Of
ler sex. She was no less Il Queen be-
auSc also wife and mother; and failed
not III any Of these because of being n
Queen. While she will be remembered

virtues-wlll be the basis of her endur-
Ing fame. America. will mourn for her
rs sincerely as will the people Of Great
Hritian. She has been their friend ana
The friend Of the Republic. Ii was her
favor and tact that prevented war be-
tween England and American in 1862,
when the life Of the Union was assaulted.
ana when foreign war, TO assist the
rebellion, would probably proved fatal.
Not only that, but all through her reign
he has been Il true friend Of the Tnited
states, and not infrequenty has she
manifested her regard for us in the face
of opposition that might well have made
a strong man hesitate. But this woman
was strong in her devotion to rightdoing.
In this She was ind0minatable. She has
been opposed To war, and there is no
loubt hut that she, more than any other
sovereign i'll Europe has held back the
approach Of the general European war.
which the whole world has been expect
me-. II is known, too, that She has been
IN serious trouble over the South Afri
an war, and has sincerely grieved that
such war should mark the close of her
rcign. ADDED to the strain caused by
these national troubles, have been those
IF personal bereayements; and now in
the S3rd year Of her age, and the sixty
fourth of her reign, the news Of her seri-
GUS illness, and Of the hurrying Of the
members OF her family from all the
courts OF Europe to England, there goes
with them the interest, sympathy and
sorrow OF the word-and from nowhere
else will the expressions OF that inter
est, sympathy and sorrow be more sin
eere than from the United States.
