no Pardon for Mrs. MAVERICK.

The indefinite postponement of the
coronation ceremonies means nothing
to Englands King, for an uncrowned
King is as much King as a crowned
one. The whole affair is ceremony
a ceremony that the Gear of Russia
and the Emperor Of Germany have
not yet experienced. 1t Is really but
an English holiday, and as such is
alike harmless and entertaining. King
Edward is every inch King, and he
may never be crowned. 1t matters lit
lie to him.
But to poor Mrs. Maybrick 1t is per-
haps the continued loss of liberty. 1t
is the custom to grant many pardons
as well as peerages and the like on
coronation occasions, and it has been
reported that Mrs. Maybrick would

Now that the state committee has been
called together. and that a Democratic

the gubernatorial contest in Alabama is
to open up in earnest. Governor JellSs Is
to have opposition of q pronounced sort.
Ex-Governor Johnston is either to get

vacancy may occur at any time within
the next two years, and he wants an
executive sufficiently friendly to him to

his political stable to try speed with
Jelks; and unless all signs fail the for
mer Governor will take the stump in adj

Likewise there is to be a hot time In
Birmingham city politics soon. Mayor

are causing many aspirafts for Mayoral-

there are signs of prospective candidates
galore.
1t will be unfortunate for Birmingham

have been pardoned If the King had
been crowned. She is an American,
an Albanian. who has been in prison
many years, charged and convicted
of the murder of her husband through
the administration of arsenic In small
doses. The evidence upon which she
was convicted was wholly circumstan-
tial. Her husband, James Maybrick,
died May II, 1882 He was given to
dosing himself. to the taking of poison
Gus drugs for dyspepsia, of which he
constantly complained. On April 27
he went to the races, got wet, went to
a race dinner, and returned home af-
fected with acute Indigestion. He
called for some white powders, which
Mrs. Maybrick secured from his room.
1t was arsenic There was arsenic
everywhere. Maybrick was an arsen-
&c fiend, but Mrs. Maybrick did not
know it. Maybrlck's brothers were
unfriendly to her, and so were the
servants. No arsenic was found in
Mrs. Maybrick's rooms. She did buy
arsenic fly papers, which she soaked
in water for a face wash, but it was
never proven that the fly papers killed
Maybrick.
Maybrick was i'll thirteen days, and
Mrs. Maybrick was his constant at
tendant. On the eleventh day she fell
into a swoon, which lasted thirty-six
hours, in which time Maybrick died.
The brothers of the dead man at once
called the police. They claimed the
swooning was the effect of a guilty
conscience. When Mrs. Maybrick be-
came herself she was surrounded by
thirteen police officers. She was car
ried to jail, and In the trial that fol-
lowed this lone Alabama woman was
pitted against the Maybrick brothers,
who were unceasing in their efforts to
gather circumstantial evidence.
The one point that told against her
was quarrel with her husband, and
she had consulted a lawyer as to a
divorce. 1t was claimed, too, that she
loved a man by the name of Briefly
She had written a letter to Briefly,
who was a friend of the family. This
letter served as motive to the al
legged murder.
She was tried before Sir James Fitz-
james Stephen, who went insane soon
afterwards. His charge to the jury
convicted Mrs. Maybrick She was
condemned to death, but a petition
from 100000 indignant people led to
the Communication of the sentence to
Imprisonment for life.
She came from an old Alabama fam
lily. Justice John A. Campbell of the
United States Supreme Court was a
relative. Her mother, the Baroness
Won Rogue, was highly esteemed.
Her father was wealthy banker of
Mobile. where she was born year be-
fore the close of the civil war. She
met Mr.. Maybrick at hte house OF a
friend in Liverpool He was then 45
years old and she but II. They were
soon married, and two children are
living.
Beyond the finding of arsenic in
the house and the Briery letter there
was no evidence to connect Mrs. May
brick with the death. 1t was a case
of circumstantial evidence, and very
slender at that, and her friends have
never believed her guilty, and she be-
comes perhaps the chief victim of the
postponement of the coronation.

HELP S0RELY NEEDED.

Reports from Martinique show how greatly
efficient helps needed. A small squad of French
soldiers, brave and stalwart men, no doubt, was
on Wednesday trying to cope with the tremendous
task of burying the dead at St. Pierre. That the
authorities of the island do not meet the situation
is not strange. Directions by minds that have
not been almost overpowered by the disaster is
essential.
Horror is added to the situation by the scroundels
who, undauted by the ruin that has been wrought
60 among the dead to plunder. Terrifying
though the threatening volcano must be, and un-
speakably terrible as all the sights about them
are, they still have the heart to rob! Reports
cabled both to this country and to Englan agree
in these stories of robbery. 1t is probably that
as help arrives on the island system of MAIN
tanning order can be devised. But many strong
arms, under capable guidance, are needed to
quickly perform the tasks that must be DONE
It is evident that the movements to send aid to
the islsnd were not begun second too soon, or
urged with too much vehemence. The world
cannot be too generous.

along her maritime medevelopmentan and foreign trade.

POSTMASTER GENERAL PAYNE has found q
happy argument to support the decision of his
department, excluding pretended newspapers
from the second class of mail matter. He says
that giving low rates to these publications is to
give them "a virtual subsidy" and that this is
true is too clear to be questioned The only
thing to be decided, then, is whether they are
worthy of being subsidized by the United
States Government, and on this point there will
be little difference of opinion.
