No National HOLIDAYS.

There are no National holidays
in this country; all holidays are
suoh by enactment of the Legisla-
lures of the respective States.
Technically, the United States are
not a nation, but federation of
States, each having sovereignty
within itself in all things not spe-
officially relinquished in the Fed
eral constitution, for the general
welfare of the Federation. July 4,
however, is holiday by enactment
of all the States, and is the nearest
approach to a National holiday
we know of in this country

The West Virginia Climate is tn,
Best on Earth.

Wheeling Intelligencer.
1t is now competent to say that
this section of the country is the
best on the continent of North
America. In the state of West
Virginia there is an equable eli
mate-that is, there are no violent
extremes. Everything can be raised
on the soil of West Virginia that
is brought to modification in the
far southern states except cotton.
What is most attractive to this state
is the freedom from the great dis
asters that encompass the far west
ern states. We have never had
the overwhelming horrors of the
Kaw river in Kansas and Missouri,
or the flooded districts of the Miss.
issippi. In West Virginia there
is genial CLINE for the emigrant
and the settler from other states.
We have no extremes of weather;
we are peaceful with the weather
clerk. No cyclones tear up our
habitations; no untimely frosts bite
our fruits; no deluges devastate
our lands. We experience some
of the ills of natures idiosyncra-
cies, it is true, but they pass over
us like a summer nights dream,
and leave US, in a few months, the
better for it.
They have had fire in the east
and north, in the forests, and
drowning floods in the west, but
the Ohio Valley still stands as the
Eldorado of this great and growing
country. Now is the time to set
tie in Wheeling.

Massacre of Royalty in Belgrade
Pittsburg Post.

Massacre of Royalty in Belgrade
Pittsburg Post.
Encouraged by popular acclaim,
some companies of the Servian
army early yesterday. broke into
the palace in Belgrade and MUIR
dered King Alexander. Queen
Draga and several of their near
relatives and ministers of state.
After this quick slaughter the mob
proclaimed a grandson of the ia
nous patriot, George Petrovitch,
king, and the premier by public
notice restored the constitution of
1901. The annals of history CON-
tain no records of the massacre of
a dynastic household so extensive.
The long list of assassinations de-
votes its bloody stories to the death
of some one notable parsonage, and
this murderous method of remov-
ing rulers has in recent decades
been confined to the work of an
archists or fanatics. The uprising
of an army as the wreakers of pub
lilo vengeance goes back almost to
imperial Rome for an autotype.
The proximate motive of this
uncivilized and sickening emeute
can be referred to the reckless dis
regard of popular electoral rights
by the king. his recent foisting of
absolutism upon the country for a
brief interval, and the daily fresh
supply of scandal furnished by his
depraved consort. Not lapsed from
memory, perhaps, was the divorce
of Alexander's father from Queen
Natalie, and coupled with this
could easily become her pro-Rus-
sian views and those of the newly
proclaimed king.
This grandson of a patriot who
first won independence from the
Ottoman Turks sojourns in Gene
va, that historic refuge for religi-
GUS reformer, political exile and
plotting pretender. His sons are
in the czar's domains learning Rus
sian diplomacy. The massacre fits
well with some developments in
the Balkan situation, for Alexand-
or has been frustrating Austro-
Russian efforts to enforce the sui
tan's obedience to their joint note.
1t may be a slight reflex action
from that Servian movement for
an alliance with Croatia for dual
Independence, which caused re-
cent demonstration in Agram. The
shocking event emphasizes the
completely of interests and griev-
ances in this Balkan peninsula.
1t is idle to speculate upon what
the powers may attempt to do.
What reason for intervention sris-
es is not clear. Territorially Servia
has been treated well to preserve
the balance of power. With a re-
volt to restore a constitution and
popular representation, though &C
companied by massacre. the powers
will probably do nothing more
than to deplore this soothing at that
once dreaded divine right of kings.
