Troops of All Branches of the Service
Lead til Parade.
The file of representatives of the In
dian army opened the way for the
fighting services. There We're six hat
talions of infantry of the line. Scotch,
Irish and English, followed by four
detachments of foot guards, Irish,
Scotch. Coldstreams and grenadiers.
The royal engineers came next, then
detachments of garrison, field and
horse artillery, followed by lancers,
hussars, dragons. horse guards and.
life guards. Detachments of marines
and blue jackets brought this varied
and characteristic representation of
the British army and navy to close.
The next section of the procession
was the bodyguard of the lamented
queen. The military attaches to for
eign embassies led the way, headed
by the headquarters staff, with Lord
Roberts in front on splendid charger.
Four bands We're massed behind the
headquarters staff, and one majestic
requiem followed another with inter
walls of muffed drums The Duke Of
Norfolk rode in solitary state MS earl
marshal, followed by the gold sticks
and two white slaves, with the gun
carriage and its royal burden close be-
hind.
Eight splendid cream horses were
led by royal equerries, as at the iubi-
lee. but behind them. instead of a
gracious sovereign smiling and bow
ing, was khaki-colored gun carriage
bearing coffin lifted high. 1t was a
good and great queens last appear
ance in state, and 1t was not strange
that, with the sorrowful signing of
| majestic requiems in the air, strong
men were shaken with emotion, and
women brushed away tears from their
eyes.
The king was directly behind the
| gun carriage in n field marshars uni
form, superbly mounted, and with him
| in similar uniform We're the Emperor
1 of Germany on Il fine charger, and the
| Duke of Connaught, well horsed and
riding like veteran. Following close
were forty sovelpigns. heirs to thrones
and princes of English, German and

! The cayalcade ended with file OF
| crown equer1ies and officers in the
German emperor's suite, and six royal
carriages were driven slowly by. The
first contained Queen Alexandra and
her three daughters. entitled now to
precedence over their aunts. All were
in the deepest mourning, but the queen
was known from her graceful figure
and carriage. Queen Victolia's three
daughters came next, with the King
4 of the Belgians. who felt too inflrn
to ride with the mounted princes
Three daughters-in-law followed il
the third carriage. The Duke of Cam
bridge and Lord Wolseley were in the
fourth.

GREAT NAVAL FUNERAL.


Body of Queen Yictorin Leaves the Isle OF
Wight for London.
Cowes, Feb. with grand, yet
nournful, display Of naval pomp and
power, the body of Queen Victoria was
borne from its quiet resting place in
Osborne House to Portsmouth, the
heart of Englands navy. The half
hundred red fighting ships that in the
afternoon fired their broudsides and
minute guns We're inferior i'll strength
to the force gathered in the same wat
ers for the jubilee celebration, but the
lack of formidableness was fully
atoned for by the solemnity of this
fleet in mourning. Over the still wat
ers, between the roll of the siX-pound-
ers, came strains of Chopin's and Bee
thoven's funeral marches. The crews,
accustomed to cheer with the hearu.
ness which belongs only to Tackles
stood silently along the decks, and the
flags which usually float defantly in
the breeze. dropped half way down the
!ialyards.
The most powerful fleet England
could sather on short notice lay inert

Secret influence.

The people have nothing to fear from
open enemies. The man who boldly
proclaims principle, no matter What
1t may be, can do but little injury. No
amount of intellect, learning or elo-
quence can make him dangerous. AS
Jefferson has expressed II, Error of
opinion may BIZ tolerated where reason
is left free to combat" Truth grows
in the open field; the sunshine nOurishes
and strengthens it. 1t is secret influ-
ence which is constantly corrupting
government aud securing special privi-
leges Tor the few at the expense of the
macy. The man who advocates thing
which he believes to be- good for the
people as whole has no reason to con-
ceal his purpose, but tho man who tries
to secure an advantage which he knows
to be beneficial 10 some class or COM
bination but hurtfni to the public, ma
turatly aud necessarily employs Stealth.
Would the directors of railroad
adept aud publish q resolution design
atlng their fayorite candidate for the
legislature, congress, the senate or the
benchp Would they candidly set forth
why they wanted him and what they
expectedsof him after they got him?
And yet it is we'll known that railroads
often take an active part in the selec
tion of public officials.
Would the directors of trust adopt
and publish resolution naming the
presidential candidate they would sup
port and announcing the contribution
they would make to the campaign fund!
And yet it is certain that the trusts
have In the past Interested themselves
In campaigns.
Eternal vigilance is the price of pro-
lection against bad laws and misrule a;
we'll as the price of liberty. Since laws
are made, construed and enforced b!
public officials, it is necessary tina
great care should be exercised in TIL,
selection of them in order that they
wnen selected, shall guard the interest,"
of the whole people and not be In
mere agents of some corporation.

era of This Paper.

Des Moines. Ia, Feb. Iowa will
claim from 100000 to $4,000 from
the United States government as soon
as the papers in the case can be pre-
pared. This money is alleged to be
due as indemnity for interest paid by
Iowa on bonds issued by it in 1862
to secure money with which to equip
the forty-eight regiments of infantry,
seven of cavalry, and three of artillery
which were sent into the war by this
state.
Senator ]. S. Lothrop. of Sioux City,
called the attention of the executive
council to the possibilities in this sit
uation, and on investigation Governor
Shaw and the other four executive
state officers have decided that the
government owes the state of Iowa
sufficient TO reimburse her for the in
terest she paid OH the loans she made
at the time. The government has al
ready reimbursed her for the 100000
of war expense, but has not reim-
bursed her for the money borrowed.
