In the last sad scene at Chiselhurst,
beyond question the central figure
was not Victoria, Queen of Great
Britain and Empress of India but
Eugene. In her youth she was
brought up at brilliant court in
SPAN, and by an unexpected develop
ment of events transferred afterwards
to be the Empress of the most bril-
liant in the world, and then again the
scene suddenly shifted. From the
top of the tower she is hurled a refu-
gee, not wanderer, but guest of
Great Britain, and now as widow
and bereaved mother, she touches
the highest estate of all. In all her
glory she was not as great as she Is
tod ay in her destltution. Not when
flashed for her brow jewels of which
a nation was robbed not when armies
and navies were in her power, had
she so much glory; not when she was
young aud beautiful did men worship
and bow down to her as now, where
she sits in darkness. The whole
world to-day bows its head in allegI-
ance to her, not as the Empress, but
as the Mother. There gather about
her in Great Britain, the noble Queen
who has herself known sorrow of
heart, and whose heart is therefore
easily moved in sympathy for Others.
There are all her royal sons and
daughters. Fer the sake of the poor
uncrowned woman, they have made
professions from thrones and palaces
to the doors of her humble dwelling,
and from there, followed her son to
the grave. They have made her
grief, their grief, and there are no
pearls in the necklace Of the Queen,
no jewels in all Great Britain, that
are of such priceless value as are the
tears shed by her there at the grave.
And that mother there in her desola-
ton and grief-she is not one step
worse off than ten thousand times ten
thousand others. To the mother with
her dead child in her lap,-the dimned
eyed mother that breaks her heart
over the cradle-to all the mothers of
the world she is related, and by her,
as by all others, in the stroke of
death she felt the hand of God. Now
God says to the mourner, enter into
oblivion for little: what / am doing
We know not: but by and by, when
the crown of experience sits glorious
ly upon their hearts, they will learn
the mystery Of providence. Such is
the ennobling faith of the grave, that
while it brings notions down, it lights
all up. Before the mouth of the
grave, there are no mobiles, nor kings
nor princes, but simply suffering,
weeping men and women. Oh! there
is an imperial Democracy in the
grave!

general having granted his fiat for a
writ of error in the case of the ITCH
borne claimant, an association is
being formed to assist in the prosecu-
tion of the fiat to obtain remission Of
the sentence against the claimant and
to promote the passage of the bill in

During the coming Presidential ye;n The Tribune
will be effective agency than for telling
the best worth knowing, and for enforcing
sound politics From the day the closed it has
been most anxious for an end of sectional strife
But it saw two years ago, and was the first persist
emily to Proclaim the new danger to the country
from the revived alliance OF the Solid South and
Tammany Hall Against that danger it sought to
rally the old party Of Freedom and the Union. 1t
began by demanding the abandonment of personal
dslikcs, and set the example. 1t called for end
to attacks upon eacn other instead of the enemy;
and for the hcartiest agreement upon whatever fit
candidates the majority should put up against the
common foe. Since then the tide of disaster has
been turned back; every doubtful state has been
won, and the omens for National victory were never
more cheering.

blown Professor of pathology and
a philosopher to boot, as his parch.
ments and metals certify. The
elixir of life is simply and solely
lemon-juice, to be taken in pre-
scribed quantities, according to age,
without any admixture of water,
sugar or alcohol. Who would have
thought that lemons contained the
very essence and spirit Of ipmor-
tality? Yet according to this au-
thority they do. But even If the
theory be true, the conditions seem
to make 1t somewhat cumbersome
and impracticable. 1t takes too
many lemons to add few years to
life, and the earth could not grow
lemons enough to satisfy the in
creasing demand; and after the
lemons of life were squeezed, what
then? The lemon-eating habit may
be commenced with equal certain
ty as to results at any time of life,
and there would be no use of any
healthy man or woman commenc-
ing 1t under fifty. Between fifty
and sixty four lemons day are
prescribed, and one additional lem
on a day between sixty and seven

that the load of lemons would soon
increase the load of life until un.

would cost far more than it would
amount to. Even if true, it would
inevitably defeat the purpose. The

RumOrs of vague but somewhat
alarming character have been current
for some days with regard to the health
Of the Queen. have not hitherto al
tuded to these reports, but they have
become so persistent that it would be
useless longer to ignore their existence.
1t is said that tor some time past Her
Aajesty's health has not been in very
satisfactory state. The death of the
Duchess OF Hesse gave her shock from
which she has not yet recovered, and
the fatigue incident on the celebration
Of the marriage of the Duke CT Con-
naught exercised depressing influence
On her health. The journey to Italy is
sot mere holiday trip. Sir. W. J-n-
ner considered that change of scene
and an almost entire absence from Off
sial duty of any Kind were necessary
for the Queen, and this is the reason
why she has buried herself on the SO
tluded shores of an Italian lake. 1t is
no doubt in consequence of the some
what gloomy statements regarding Her
Asjesty's health which are passing in
society that other reports connected
with the succession to the throne are
also current.


1t il said that unless q considerab BILE
change in Her Majesty's health takes
place she will no longer be able to dis
charge the functions which belong to
the severe gn Of the country, and ru
NOR points to the possibility of an alb
dication. 1t is an undoubted fact that
since the departure of the Queen for
Italy the Prince Minister has several
times seen the Prince Of Wales. On
Tuesday he had an interview with His
Royal Highness of more than an hours
duration, and the Prince would seem
to be since to some extent discharging
the duties of the Queen with regard to
public affairs during her absence in
Italy. In q matter where there is ne
sessarily a good deal of speculation it
would be idle to make definite state
ments, but there are those who think
that a somewhat startling surprise is

The return to Democratic rule in Louisiana
which the country was assured would bring
peace and prosperity to that State, has re-
suited very differently. Up to last January
the State had paid its debts. The Warmoth
and Kellogg governments, bad as they were
in some respects, always maintained the
credit of the State. The Nichols govern
ment on the other hand lets the States paper
go to protest the second year of its existence.
But this is not the worst of it. There seems
to be growing sentiment in the State in
favor of final reputation. The Legislature
has been in session several weeks, and out
side OF the few Republicans mo one in either
branch appears to be specially concerned
about the matter. No measure has been in
troduced nor suggested looking to solution
Of the difficulty by any honorable compromise
All that the majority talk of is scheme for
swindling the creditors by cutting down the
interest from to per cent, and it seems al
together probable that the capitalists who
have been so unfortunate as to invest in
Louisiana bonds will pot get even this.


The sentiment for repudiation is very
strong in some of the northern parishes and
it is believed to be spreading, and if it gets
the upper hands it will insist on sponpins
out the debt entirely. A large majority of
the governing class would even now, it is be-
lieved, vote to wipe out the debt.


The scheme which the repudiators favor
is the calling ofa constitutional convention,
the real object Of which is to remove all the
obstacles the old constitution contains to
their method of wiping out the public debt
without paying it. The conservative classes
are opposed to it, but their opposition has
availed nothing, and the proposed conven-
tion will undoubtedly be called, and the re-
pudlation machinery put in motion.


The State is without even the weak ex-
cuse that she is poor. Louisiana is very
rich in natural resources, one of the richest
in the Union. She can bear her debt and
redeem her bonds to the last cent without
imposing very heavy burdens upon her
people.

perform in providing for the taking of new
census, in relation to its industrial statistics

Professor Elliott of the Census Bureau, in es-
Inmates which have thus far proved surpris-
ingly correct, has shown that the later state
ments of o1r population generally made un-
dervalue the fact, and that instead of forty
four millions or forty'five millions of people,
the United States really have nearly fifty
millions. This is verified by the returns of
the States which have recently taken CEN
suses. At present the Western States are
growing more rapidly in population than any
other section, and will probably secure a
larger representation during the next ten

That Is What Judge Wilkin Does With the


Social Evil Question, and tho Main Point


at Issue IL Still Undecided. *


As it was duly announced large audience
assembled in the district court, yesterday
morning, to hear Judge Wilkins decision on
the social evil question. Al 10 O'Clock the
court Was opened, but at that time only two
of the defendants, Matte Gale and Pauline
Bell, were in court.


It was speedily arranged that the decision
should be pronounced in the case of one Of
these defendants, and the same ruling obtain
in the other cases as the defendants appeared.
JUDGE WILKINS DECISION.
Thereupon the court delivered his opinion
as follows:


I'm tho case Of the State of Minnesota vs..
Pauline Bell, I have examined the question in.
volved in the demurrer to the plea of former
conviction that waa instanoed by the defend.
ant, and have como to the conclusion that the
demurrer to that plea must be over-ruled. ]
do not propose at this time to state at length
my reasons for arriving ct that conclusion.
have given . very careful examination to the
case. The question now to be considered is, ~
to what course shall be taken in reference to
these indictments. It is q matter of very
great importance that the question raised upon
the supreme court. Under the act of 1870, it
was within the power of this court to certify the
case up to the supreme court for determination
there"


Mr.. Rogers here interposed to say 81 un-
derstand that the court having over-ruled
the demurrer, holds that the plea is good
one. provided it ia true''


The Cour-f tho county attorney is dis
posed to deny the truth of the plea and take
issue upon it, the case may 60 to trial upon
that issue; but if he does not feel it would
be proper to take that course, then the ques-
tion would be certified to tho supreme court
/ for its decision upon the question at law.
Mr.. Rogers-As I understand, it amounts
to this: If the case should 60 to trial before
jury the defendants could ask the court to
instruct the jury to find from the testimony
that defendants had been convicted in the
police court of the same ofense, and they
should therefore bring in verdict of not
guilty.


The Court-Of course the county attorney
would hardly be justified in trying the case
unless he would be able to disprove that in
point of fact. II he feels able to do that
and wants to go to trial.


Mr.. Rogers (nterruptine)-I don't wish
to take that burden on myself. don't
think would be justified or required TO dc
SO. ask that the case be certified to the
supreme court.


The Court-The county attorney will pre-.
pare the papers and submit them to the
court.


At this stage of the proceedings other OF
the defendants appearing in the court room,
the court announced the same decision in the
cases of the State against Matte Gale, Hat
tie Mcbride and Annie Oleson.
