Lottery scheme and other Iniauitieo
Ceuntenanced BY the Al
mlnistrati0u.

The Mckinley administration has
prided itself upon its Christian zesls
IT is lauded by Methodist bishops, who
know better, as the party Of progress
and benevolence and withal favorable
TO prohibition and missionaries. Some
other denominations have been almost
as great partisans of the republican
party and the great and good Mr.. Mo-
kinley. As the reverse Of this, the
democrats were a wicked and WORTH
less crew, allied with the rum pow
er" and STEPPED in all kinds Of political
heresies.
Some few years ago these ardent 70.
publican friends of reform instituted
q political crusade against lotteries
and polygamy and made Washington
howl with their outcries for congress
to pass laws to prohibit them. Con-
gress was willing, and passed prohib-
itory laws against both, for a good
strong howl, well prolonged, nearly
always brings the average congress-
man TO heed the voice Of the people.
Now, with this stringent statute
against lotteries, which the great
moral sense Of the country required
should be suppressed. the first we
know this holier than thou republic
an administration has gone into the
lottery business on it's own account.
The greatest land lottery scheme ever
devised has been established by the
president and his cabinet, and the
drawing" has been supervised and
carried on by United States officials.
The prizes are $4,000 tracts OF land in
the Indian territory, and there are
100000 persons competing for the
chance to obtain them.
That is an extraordinary spectacle
OF q government breaking its own
laws.
But that is small thing compared
to the other laws of the United States
that are continually being broken, and
the transgressors paid TO do so by this
same republican administration, by
compromising the felonies Of slavery
and polygamy in the Sulu section OF
the Philippines. The sultan and his
dotees are monthly receiving pay from
the United States, with the agreement
that these twin relics of barbarism
are not to be interfered with, and are
indeed fostered by our republican ad.
ministration by the payments OF the
money which allow more slaves and
wives to be purchased and main
tanned.
What a howl there would have bee n
from end to end of the United States
II democratic administration had
broken the laws and fostered the in
famous immoralities Of slavery and
polygamy and instituted an immoral
lottery to rattle off 10 900 tracts Of the
public land which belongs to the
whole people Of the United States. But
not a voice Is heard in protest from
the great morality party. because IL
has been decreed that the hands of
our noble president must be upheld
and the republican party sustained in
any enormities they may commit. The
blame cannot be laid on congress, fol-
congress is guiltless so far of any
| complicity

POWER BEING UsURPED.
of Recommended BY President
Mckinley.

The Capitalization of power by the
federal government, which is reach
ing such extraordinary lengths under
President Mckinley, 10 being copied
by republican governors in some of
the states. The persistent effort Of
the president and these mimic gov
errors to encroach upon the domain
Of the legislative department, dictat-
ing instead Of recommending the laws
that should be enacted and the still
greater evil Of interpreting the laws
TO suit themselves or the trusts and
corporations that are back OF them.
1t is only q few months ago that the
anti-canteen law was set aside by the
administration, and it has become the
common custom for the president to
urge members of congress to pass or
defeat legislation and even to reward
with patronage and power those who
obey his demands. The president
originates legislation, as with the bill
for the increase of the army, the Phil
ippine legislation and the Cuban
amendment and used all the infiu-
ence at his command to put them
through.
IL is not to be wondered at that re-
publican governors with this example
before them are equally aggressive.
More than one governor, says the
Washington Post, has called an extra
session Of legislature to do work
which at its regular session it had de-
clined to do. only few months ago
the governor of western state,
after having failed to induce the
legislature to indorse his hobby, came
out in an official deliverance in which
he scolded the lawmakers as il they
were insubordinate boys who had be-
come consigned to his care. few
days ago the governor of Pennsyl-
yania, acting under the most re-
markable decision ever rendered by
q state supreme court, went over the
appropriation bills, amending various
items in order to bring the total
| down to the estimated income. The
constitution gives him authority to
veto any item in an appropriation bill
The supreme court has amended that
provision so as to allow him to trim
any or all items. No more radical de-
parture from sound principles, nc
more dangerous precedent. has eve'
been seen in any American common
wealth.
New York has n new constitution
intended to illustrate all that is bes
in government. Under that instru
ment, however, we still find the gov
ernor all powerful as promote o
legislation. But it is fact that II
the Empire state the governor is re
lied upon to act as captain and piio
for the legislative craft.
To a greater or less extent, in a ma
iority of the states, the drift is 10
ward the one-man power in MAXIM
laws. This Is partly due to executiv
aggression, but chiefly to lack Q
, pride on the part Of legislatures.

There were twenty-seven graduates.
of whom nineteen were girls. Mrs.
Stone, down in the audience, tried 10
distinguish her whte-robed triplets
upon the stage. There was one au-
burn head. There was another. but
where was the third? Mrs. Stone
began again at the beginning Of the
row, but only two Of the red-gold
heads could she find.
Adalette's essay was the fourth
number on the programme. Mrs.
Stone looked expectantly at her two
visible daughters. Neither of them
stirred. but strange girl at the end
of the first row stepped forward. All
the other graduates wore white. This

"What," whispered Mrs. Stone TO
Aunt Harriet, ''has become of Ada

But surely, even though it trembled,
that was Adalette's voice. Surely that
was Adalette's essay. Mrs. Stone had
heard il too often not to recognize

Stone snatched Aunt Harriet's opera
glasses, and gazed eagerly at the dark
haired girl.

BECAME A QUEEN AT DAWN.

Victoria Awakened Out OF Deep Sleep
to Hear the News.
Victoria was awakened out of deep
sleep at 5 o'clock in the morning Of
June 20, 1887, to learn that she was
Queen of England. She received the
news clad in her nightgown, her barred
feet in slippers and her hair falling
loosely over her shoulders.
King William Nv. had died at 2 a. m.
in Windsor, three hours before Vic
toria was notified of her accession In
Kensington Palace, where sne lived
with her mother, the Duchess Of Kent.
As soon as the King breathed his last
the Archbishop of Canterbury and the
Lord Chamberlain, Lord Conyngham,
left the death chamber, and entering
q carriage were driven with all speed
to Kensington.
Victoria had retired the night before
with no thought of the vast change
that a few hours would make in her
life. Kensington Palace was wrapped
in slumber when the two 'emissaries
arrived. What followed is told in the
"Diary of a Lady of Quality" in this
way:
"They knocked. they rang. they
thumped fors considerable time be-
fore they could rouse the porter at
the gate; they were again kept waiting
in the courtyard, then turned into one
of the lower rooms, where they seemed
to be forgotten by everybody. They
rang the bell and desired that the at
tendant of the Princess Victoria might
be sent to inform Her Royal Highness

powers of the Queen were slowly
failing and, while the shock Is great
only the great sorrow of the people
will mark the, end Of the longest reign
In English history.
All had been prepared for the politi-
cal change. and the accession of Albert
Edward to the throne will cause no
disturbance in business or State af-
fairs.
Her body will be buried by the side
Of that of the Prince Consort-him
whom she mourned so deeply, for
whom she maintained almost an aus
terity of grief during all the years of
her long widowhood.
The tomb of the Prince is at Frog
more, on the Isle of Wight, almost
within sight Of Osborne House, where
the Queen died. 1t was this fact
which made Osborne the favorite resi-.
dence Of the Queen.
OF all the incidents attending the
illness and death of the Queen, that
which most impresses the nation is
the unostentatious pilgrimage Of the
Kaiser to his mothers old home. Il
