Indiana. The claim has been promi-
nently before congress for several
years. The senate bill to extend the

passed after rather spirited debate.
A special rule was adopted for the con-

made with it.

ders. The court will go into mourn

Berlin, Jan. 23.-The news of the
death OF Queen Victoria had been hour
~ expected in Berlin, and on its ar
rival special editions of the newspa-
Pers sold like wildfre, the announce
ment being read with silent and re-
spectful sympathy. The fact that EN-
press Augusta Victoria started Tues
day for Homburg to be near Dowager
Empress Frederick added to the sad
circumstances of the occasion. The
German nation fully shares in the feel
ings of the British people toward the
venerable and illustrious sovereign
who has just breathed her last.
Semi-otticial paragraphs in the press
rebut the idea, commonly held in Ger
many. that the prince of Wales, as the
new king. will be inclined to be hostile
toward Germany. On the contrary,
they assert that he will act in the in
terests of Great Britain and the Brit
ish people alone.
sense of gratificatio is felt by all
Germans that Emperor William was
present during the last hours of Queen
Victoria's life and that the lofty feel
ings of tilial piety which prompted his
action have met with such full and un-
qualified recognition on the part of the
British nation.
Immediately after the receipt of the
news Count Won Eulenburg, the chief
court marshal. ordered the flags half
masted on all public buildings. AL
though the hour of the evening was
somewhat advanced a number of en-
bassies and legations, including the
American. did the same. Special
mourning orders to the Schloss, the
army, the court and the public depart
ments were issued Tuesday evening.
These will be published to-day and go
into effect Immediately,

stoned by the announcement of the

cago. which took place very quietly in
st. Joe, Mich, Saturday morning,

Miss Jennings, who is one of the
most attractive girls in society, an
nounced her engagement to DR.. Adams
early in the spring, and at that time
decided upon a large church wedding
in October. Both young people, how
ever, have been spending the summer
in Michigan, and last week, after dalv
advising their relatives, they decided
to have the ceremony over at once
and avoid the trouble and details of a
longer celebration. There were no at
tendauts and no guests present.
The bride is a daughter of Mrs.
George Jacobs, of 1856 Stewart Place,
and a niece of Mr.. j. B. Dyas, of Ca
banne. DR.. Adams is a successful

ExaIting Hamilton.

1t is an improvement that the Globe
Democrat comes out so blatantly in de-
tense of the political theories OF Alex
ander Hamilton as opposed to those OF
Thomas Jefferson. The Globe is thor
oughly representative of McKInleyism
in the advanced stage.
Under the new spirit which has been
injected into American political life by
the arrogant influences which control
the Mckinley administration, the
issues respectively typiied by Hamil-
ton aud Jefferson at the birth of the
Republic must be fought owe again.
Hamilton stood for government by a
privileged and aristocratic caste. JEFF
ferson stood for government by the
people.
For the past 125 years the teachings
of Jefferson have prevailed as inspir-
ing American government. The peo-
pie have been regarded as supreme.
There has been no rule of a superior"
class over the common people, the
'~'inferior" class according to the Ham
ilton conception. During this period
the United States Government has adj
vanced from the rank of the worlds
weakest Power to that of its strongest.
At the same time it has splendidly
maintained the principles upon which
it was founded, the corner stone OF
which was the American belief in the
might and majesty and benefcence OF
government of the people by the peo-
pie for the people.
In the past three years, however,
there has come an ominous change.
The Mckinley administration has sur
rendered the Government into the
hands of the trust caste, a superior
group Of %plutocrats whose millions
have been gained from privileges ne
~cessitating the sacrifice of the rights
of the people. The result of the war
with Spain has been to arouse In the
breasts of the administration following
a spirit of conquest and of territorial
greed which has become most menac-
ing to the rue American faith. II
has been found by the McKinleyites
that the Mckinley policies cannot be
carried out if the Jeffersonian princi-
Piles upon which the Government was
established are still &c be upheld. But
the Hamilton idea of a Federal mon
archy, of a strong centralized Govern
ment, OF an imperial rule by a privil-
eyed caste, of the adoption of the
British system, fits the Mckinley poll
cies of Imperialism, m~ilitarism and
Capitalization Of power like a glove.
For this reason the McKinleyites are
now striving with might and main to
discredit Jefferson and to exalt Ham
ilton in American eyes.
The GLobe-D Democrat is doing it's best
for McKinleyism. It is certain, how
ever, that its best will not convince the
American people that the teachings of
Jefferson, under which we have grown
to be the worlds greatest Power, may
be wisely changed for the spurious
Americanism of Hamilton.-St. Louis
Republic.

Obituary.

ROsELLE, Mo, July %, 1901.
About two o'clock in the afternoon
of July the Fourth. lightning struck
and killed Jessie W. Olive, as he was
walking from a distant gate to the
house.
His wife was several steps behind
him when the first flash of lightning
shocked; then came a second flash,
and she recovered just In time to see
her husband tall.
The deceased was born May II, 1860,
and was united in marriage with Mary
Henson, January "a, 1882, of which
union two children were born, one of
whom, with his companion, long since
preceded him to that bourne from
whence no traveller returns.
August IL, 1888, he was again uni
ted in the bonds of holy matrimony
with Mary j. Talley, and of this I'M
ion were born seven children, three
sons and four daughters, all of whom
survive him.
He became united with the Baptist
Church in June, 1886, and lived a con
sistent member until the time of his
death.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. F. B. Mathews and the re-
mains inferred in Old Bethany GENE
terry; there to await the coming of
that great and notable day, in which
We will clasp hands and join in the
songs of the redeemed and loved ones,
on the sunny banks of sweet deliver
ance. "a home in heaven. what a
joyful thought, rs the poor man tolls
in his weary lot"
BY his death the community is de-
prived of a good neighbour. his children
a loving father. and his wife a faith
full companion. But dear sorrowing
sister, weep not as n having no hope,
for we feel that your loss is his eternal
gain.
Although the departed possessed no
wealth he enjoyed the greatest and
%grandest of all earthly blessings, a
kind and loving family, and no doubt
that in that bright and blest abode,
the souls bright home. he is saying;
"Come, my precious children, to me-"
Yes, our home is lonely since he went
away, and it seems quite certain he
has gone to stay.
Oh. may we all so live, that when
we hear the summons, come home, my
child, come home peacefully, and
sweetly, we may be waited to that
home where we will know no more
broken families, is the prayer of
SUE MCWILLIAMs.

THAT s.the way of the transgressor
ia hard" is verified daily, but nowhere
is this verification more pronoudced
than where ia debased the emotion that
should rule only to elevate and lead to
heaven. No man or woman may say,
sshere will I love- or, ''there will
hate;" but true men and true women
will in no instance surrender hon.
or or integrity to either passion.

SoME-a very few-Southeast DEM
cratic papers. aping the paid editor
ials of the city press, affect now to be-
lieve that the success of the party re-
quires the Reputation of the men who
headed it in the hour OF defeat. We
have no patience with such miserable
time-servers. ready to make a God of
success and a Devil Of defeat. no mat
ter how noble the lost cause, or how
vicious the end triumphant. The Ohio
platform was as dirty a piece of work
looking at it from the standpoint OF
principle-as was ever put together by
scheming Bosses. Its fine professions
and glittering g~eneralities stand for
nothing except to show how utterly
destitute of conviction it's trainers are.
Right is always right, in defeat as
we'll as victory, and nothing is nor
contemplate than its desertion in the
hour of trial. No cause for the bet
torment OF mankind-no struggle for
human rlghts-but has suffered re-
verses, and yet nan has always had
the assurance of the Almighty that the
end will put to shame and death its
enemies. On the financial question in
1896 and again in 1900. the Democrat
ic platforms ~enunciated only the plain
est of truths-truths which for more
than q hundred years no commercial"
hog had the temerity to deny. This
regardless of party. Yet to-day We
find professed Democrats sneering at
those enunciations, and seeking to
cast odium upon the men who labored
many of them without desire of fee
or reward-to carry them to fruition.
Out upon such truckiingl
