The fiat Of nature is inexorable.
There ia no appeal for relief from the
great law which dooms Us to dust. We
flourish and fade as the leaves OF the
forest, and the flowers that bloom and
wither in day have no Trailer hold
upon life than the mightiest monarch
TINT ever shook the earth with his foot
steps. Generations of men will appear
and disappear as the grass, and the
multitude that throng the world to-day
will disappear as the footsteps on the
shore, Men seldom think of the great
event of death until the shadow falls
across their own pathway, hiding from
their eyes the faces Of loved ones whose
living smile was the sunlight of their
existence: Death is the antagonist Of
life, and the cold thought Of the tomb
Is the skeleton Of all feasts. We do
not want to go through the dark valley,
although its dark passage may lead to
Paradise we do not want to lay down
in the damp grave, even with princes

attendance will not only be large but impressive.
of the Kelsey outrage becomes stronger and
stronger, and many men will come forward to-
morrow who will support their words by Deeds and
money will be literally forthcoming to set the
machinery moving to attain the ends of justice.
In regard to District Attorney Downing while
the Kelsey party exhaust their reproaches on his
head they cannot help admitting that to his clients
he has been staunch and courageous counsel
He may have erred in attending the inquest in any
other capacity than a spectator, but his inten-
ton, most likely, was to take no part whatever
I'm the case until he was forced into the awk-
ward position he occupied by reason OF the
abrupt retirement OF Messrs. Platt 4 Young.
1t may be said OF Mr.. Downing that throughout
the legal investigation OF last winter he brought all
his capacity to the defence OF his clients, and If he
blundered by over zeal 1t was as much the prompt
ings oil an early and generous friendship Tor one
or the accused as 1t was the natural and laudable
side he happened to espouse.


There are no new developments to-day. The
course OF the inquest from tomorrow will be more
closely watched and scrutinized and 1t is needless
TO state every expression tnat drops from any or
the witnesses to whom suspicion attaches OF hav-
Ing anything to do with the outrage Will be looked
1t is to be hoped that the spirit which
has been greatly aroused by one
class OF the citizens against the other Will not lead
to perversion OF law and justice. Temperate ac-
ton Is aNove all things demanded II there be any
undue hurrylng, any repetition OF the arbitrary
and irresponsible course OF proceedings. tnat took
