Have Had Narrow Escape.

kharkov, who was commended by the

the peasants of that district.

nor of Wilma, whose assassination was
recently attempted on account of his
wholesale fogging of political prisoners,
many of whom We're educated, and who,
according to custom, were therefore eX-
empt from fiogging, justifies these pun
ishments on the ground that he was or
dered to inflict them by M. Won Plehwe,
the minister of the interior.
Peasant political prisoners have also
been whipped at Bielostock and other
Polish towns.
Eighty persons who were arrested for
taking part in revolutionary disturb
ances at Saratoff, We're confined in a
private building there. A number of
rioters concentrated in the vicinity of
the building, contemplating a release.
The rioters We're charged several times
by the troops before they dispersed,
and the liberation of the prisoners was
thus prevented.
Armed with daggers and sticks. the
townspeople of Shivsel, in the Cauca-
sus, have liberated a score of prisoners
who claimed they We're innocent.

WHAT SHALL WE 30
[Davenport Deinocral.. ]

Shall the United States refuse to con-
form to tile usage of the nations in at
tending the English coronation, and yet
receive from the hands of another Eu-
ropean monarch the effigy of one of Eu-
ropes kings whose principal fame rests
upon his prowess as an autocrat and a
tyrant, in his own home and in his adj
ministration? Shall we refuse to ac-
cept the friendly invitation of the
mother country of the United States to
Join with her in the day of her greatest
national rejoicing, and then proceed to
designate, by the choice of the presi-
dent a spot in the city OF Washington,
under the very shadow of the capitol' s
dome, where the image and similtude
of the most domineering of continental
monarchs shall stand, to uphold the
standard of the effete and lettering
monarchies of the old world in the very
home and capital of free government in
the new. What do our German friends
think about this matter?
or shall this republic trade with the
whole world, visit the whole world, en-
terrain the whole world, and be neigh
borly with ii ALL asking no questions
and making no demands of any Other
government as to it's form. requiring
nothing of it's sister nations but the glad
hand of friendship, and mutual respect
and affection?

Confucianism Rules China

Shanghai, May 26.-The Educationa;
Association of China, which is COM
posed of Protestant missionaries from
all parts of the empire, and which has
been in session here for the last four
days, has decided to protest to the Chi
nese government thru the diplomatic
body against the recent regulations in
the new government schools which re-
quire Christian pupils to observe the
Confucian rites.
The general opinion of this body is
strongly suspicious of the recent i'm
rerial edicts in favor of western educa-
ton.
The Chinese tariff commissioners.
Shend and Lu. are in great difficulties.
The British commissioner, Sir James
Mackay, is urging immediate action
and asking them to consent to the
abolition of the likin. But the viceroys
and governors of all the provinces are
strongly opposed to any such action

about this, but il would like to see the
United States an honored and welcome
guest at every form of state function
ON the earth; it would like to have
those nations offer ii, at their pleasure,
such tokens as Emperor William is now
offering us, and it would like 10 see
them accepted in the spirit in when
they are offered; and, in return, it
would like to see a few statues of James
Otis and John Hancock, and George
Washington, and Abraham Lincoln. and
Benjamin Franklin, and Patrick Henry
who prayed for death if he could not
nave the liberty of free government
such as we have here, all properly dis
posed in the capitals of those European
states where they still have coronation
robes, and talk about the divine right
of kings. x little more disposition To
be neighborly in ways like this will do
no harm TO the United States or the
cause of republican government.

MEMORIAL DAY. MAY 80.

The real value of Memorial day is To
the nation itself, not TO those who gave
! the country the last great gift OF their
! lives. We honor the men who nave
died, not merely to give them the
richly deserved tribute, but to benefit
the whole nation, now and forever.
| The whole fabric Of our institutions
rests upon the corner stone of the pa
triotism and devotion of the common
Ilpeople. Our national life liberty and
| independence, all that goes to make
the United States great and enVled
among the nations of the earth, all
that makes American citizenship the
most valued birthrght man can
! have depend upon the fact that our
people are ready at any moment ia
! fight, and if necessary die, to maintain
those institutions. There is absolutely
no other way TO secure that mainten-
ance.
All the oratory, all the craftsmanship
or all the wealth in the world Woulo
not do ii if they were srt our command
The only security is in the absolute
determination of the people to defend
and maintain our institutions, no mat
ter al what cost There is no telling
when this emergency may come. The
war of the rebellion came as light
ming out of clear sky.
No man can safely predict that thera
will not be another similar mortal
emergency ten or fifteen years from
now, or even sooner.
Such disaster seems no farther off
now than did the war of the rebellion
to the best thinkers in the country in
! the early sos. Those. who say that
as slavery was the cause of the war
land slavery was destroyed all danger
from rebellion or civil war has been
removed deceive themselves. There
always will be questions arising or
which men will decide bitterly, and the
minority be more or less inclined to
fight.
The only insurance against recur-
renee of the awful days of 1S6l-65 is
the thorough education of our people
in loyalty. The more we can exalt pa
triotic devotion to our institutions the
better we can provide against any set
of men successfully raising bloody
hands against the nations life.
| Memorial day is the most effective
and impressive of these object lessons
! in patriotism, when everything else is
set aside TO give the highest honof 10
those who died that the nation nigh
live.
1t is the day when we teach by the
utmost force of precept and example
that tho 4 man may have wealth, elo
quenae, learning and long pedigree,
unless he has patriotism he is but as
empty brass and tinkling cymbals
We then impress upon the rising gen.
GRAFTON and the whole people that there
lis nothing in life so noble, so praise
worthy, so glorious, as to sacrifice our
selves upon the altar of the country
for the benefit of all mankind
Therefore let us give Memorial day
every respect and sanctity. Let US
make of it national Sabbath. SO rev
ercntly observed, SO full of profound
meaning to every heart so overiiowing
with loving honor to those who bore
! the heat and burden of the nations
| battles, that not only our own people
will be deeply impressed, but the whole
world will be profoundly moved by a
sense of the dignity and grandeur of
American citizenship.
| JJTD CANFIELD.

Peculiar DAMAGE Suit.

Shenandoah, May 26.-On Tuesday of
this week Mrs. Charles Mclntire, OF
Hopkins. Mo. was seriously burned by
an explosion of oil in a can from winch
she was pouring oil on Il fire The Wo-
man will probably get well but already
steps have been taken to sue the stand
ard Oil Company for $4,000 damages
the grounds on which the case is based
being that recently an agent for the
company from MaryVlle while deiiN-
ering oil to customers in Hopkins hiied
a number of retail dealers tanks with
gasoline instead of with coal oil. me
Maryvile manager learned of 1t I'M
mediately upon the return of the agent
to Maryville and at once sent men 10
pump out the gasoline. The clam
will be made that the oil was not all
pumped out OF the retail tanks and that
they We're at once filled with coal OIL
without Il thorough cleaning.

NAVIGATION ON THE IOWA.

fIowa City Republican,
Sixty years ago on the morning of
April p, 1892, the young capital city of
the then territory of Iowa was thrown
into fever of excitement by the cry OF
Steamboat on the Iowa" shouted by
the workmen on the capitol, the hoarse
whistle of the vessel herself responding.
The whole population, so a chronicler of
the early days tells us, gathered on the
bluff, and sure enough a steamer was in
full view emerging from the placid
waters of the stream into milky white
ness, while the stars and stripes fioated
from her bows. On the opposite bluff
sat a group of red men, silently con-
templating the approach of the, big fire
canoe
When the vessel reached the landing
she was welcomed by large roncourse
of citizens. The boat proved to be the
Rock River" a medium sized vessel
engaged in the upper Mississippi
trade, and was the second steamer to
come UP the Iowa. the first being the
Ripple" which visited the town June
20, 1871. In the afternoon the Rock
River" took a large number of citizens
a dozen or so miles up the stream to the
state quarries. In coming up the river
from the Mississippi the vessel met
with no obstacles. and made good time,
taking one night and part of the morn
ing to make the trip.
it was thoroughly believed at the
time that the Iowa was navgahle, and
that vessels would be plying back and
forth constantly. S>-h an idea today
seems almost preposterous, with the
stream so low as it is most of the time.
The Rock River Went back to the
Father OF Waters, and came up again
the same week, bringing considerable
freight from Burlington and Blooming
ton (now Muscatine.) But all the bright
hopes that We're thus awakened for
making the Iowa Il navIgable stream
went out in darkness, never to rise
again, for no other steamer ever again
disturbed the streams placid bosom,
except. of course the little pleasure
launches and other light craft now
sometimes used. This incident was one
that was long remembered with pleas
ure by those who We're present and re-
mains one of the interesting bits of
history connected with our cty.

ATTORNEYS FEES NOT A DEBT.
Can Not Be Deducted From Collateral
Estates Before Tax is Figured.

Estates Before Tax is Figured.
Des Moines May 6.-Attorney Cen
eral Mullan has rendered an opinion to
the treasurer of state in which he holds
that the additional compensation al
lowed an administrator or executor OF
a collateral estate beyond the fee al
lowed by statute is not debt which
may be deducted from the estate before
the collateral inheritance tax is com
puted. The additional compensation Is
that allowed when it is necessary for
intervention by an order of court This
holding is in line with one formerly
made by Attorney General Remley, who
also held as does the present attorney
general that interest must be comput-
ed from fifteen months after the death
of the testator Both attorneys hold
that only taxes due prior to the death
of the testator may be deducted from
the estate
