A Natural PRESUMPTION.

The Washington Post, a republican
newspaper. has the following tn say
about the republican, program on the
tariff:
1T strikes us as just possible that
the trusts and combines will regard
the republican program of tariff re-
vision as "a tub thrown to the whale
of republican discomfort and intend
ed for use only during the campaign.
Surely the fidelity with which the
Fifty-siXth and Fifty-seventh con
crosses have stood by the monopolis-
tic combinations entities the leaders
to a continuance of the confidence
of those great interests"

The Uncrowned Kings.

Even if Edward VII were to forego
the coronation ceremony he would
not be the only uncrowned king in
Europe. for a majority of the living
potentates have never been crowned.
The ear and Emperor Francis are
crowned kings. William H.. the Ger
man emperor and king of Prussia. has
been ON the throne for many years
without being crowned. either as
kaiser or king.
Other living Sovereigns who have
beer crowned include the kings of
Italy and Spain. the queen of the
netherlands. and the sultan.
King Edward has been known to
ponder over prophecies of fortune
telIers. palmists, clairvoyants. etc,
and many stories are current that he
will take his present illness as an
omen that he * trifiing with fate If

PeorIa's War Debt.

Not single dollar of Peoria's war
debt has been paid, although nearly
forty years have passed since il was
incurred. In the matter of interest
il has been paid three times. over.
but not one dollar of the principal
has been liquidated.
In 1865. just before the war closed.
Peoria issued bounty bonds to the
amount of $4,000. This was for the
purpose of furnishing bounties to en-
listing men so as TO avoid the neces-
sity of falling back ON the draft.
These bonds brought 10 per cent in
terest. In 1873 they were reissued at
the same per cent; in 1892 at :, and
now they are to be reissued at per
cent with premium that will amount
to $1,000. One-half of the reissue has
already been taken by Macdonald,
Mccoy IL Co, of Chicago. at per
cent and Il premium of $3.50, but
they have found the ordinance which
authorized the reissue to be defec-
tive and another ordinance which is
more strictly technical will have to
be adopted before the reissue can be
effected. Next February the other
S21 ZOO will be reissued. There is no
telling when these bonds will be re-
deemed. They have now been run
ming thirty-seven years and the in
terest paid on them To date is more
than thrice the amount of the origi-
nal loan.
1t is evidently one of those bonded
debts that will be handed down To a
remote posterity.
