House." died in Washington cn Thurs
day of last week. He wa? nearly
seventy-six years old, and during the
latter years of his life his general health
has not been good, so that he easily fell
a victim to the weakening Influences of
disease.
In Chicago, on Tuesday, Judge
MjConneU granted a new trial to
Kunz, sentenced to three yeara for

There id more reason this year siys
the New York Cownercial Advertiser ,
than one usually Aids In the predic
tions of a prosperous trade year for tbe
country In 1$X). It is true that Wall
street, the financial barometer has been
down pretty low within the last month
or two and on at least one occasion
dropped pretty nearly to the storm lev
el. The chief reason for this was tbe
local embaraassment arisiog from the
collapse of the trust bubble, and this
bad little if any effect upon tbe country
at large. We have harvested this year
tbe largest grain and cotton crop in our
history, and its movement to the coast
is now so large that the railroads can
not furnish cars enough to cany it
The iron busiatss has awakened from
its two years1 lethargy and is now at
the height of activity and prosperity
Tbe farmers who sell grain and cotton
and cattle to Eastern men will buy
goods and groceries in return and tbe
year promises to open with a period of
almost unprecedented activity iu trade.
Drbt of all. this trad Is on no inflated
and tio speculative basis. The dia
couragemeut in Wall street has served
a nseful purpose of checking tbs specu
lative impulse, and there is no indiea
cation that we shall have 1673 over
again. Even the abnormal and dan
gerous advances in land prices which
have aecompaoied previous years of
prosperity are to be expected now ; for
the "land boom" rose and fell before
the present good times began. As for
the higher rates are themselves an inN
dex of car busier tiade ; and If they
suppress extravagant speculations then
so much the better.
Tdk President does not allow the
Blaine family to get ahead of him.
The Secretary's brother was appointed
Deputy Anditor tbe other day and cow
a cousin of the President, or of Mrs.
Harrison, is appointed Assistant Dis
trict Attorney for southern Iowa. The
Springfield Rfpullican says that Mr.
W. C. Howell, the Presidential rela
tive in question, is a cousin of Mrs.
Harrison and says : "It baa not es
caped notice; that Mrs. Harrison la get
ting more patronage than her husband.
Mrs. Harrison has now in cQce a fath
er, brother, cousin and niece's husbaud,
while Mr. . Harrison has only provided
for his brother, nephew and brother's
son-iu-Iaw." Bu: the Sioux City Tri
lune, published in Mr. Ilow.U'e own
S ate, speaks of blm as a cousin of the
President. The point la not material ;
the important thing is that another
member cf the Harrisju family is get

It is reported, siys the Pittsburg
1'oxt, that the form of a treaty of ex
tradition hae bt?en agreed upon by
Minister Lincoln and Lord Salisbury,
arid that a copy has been received by
the Canadian governmnt for its con
spiration. This treaty, it is stated,
is an extension of the Ashburton treaty
of 1S42, which included only six eff-nsea
in the list of extraditable crimes, name
ly, murder, piracy, arson, robbery
forgery and utterance of forged parr.
The new treaty takes in a great num
ber of offenses. Including "the emUz
zlement or larceny of uny sum ar arti
cle of the value of ?50 or uwari."
This will close the doors of Canada as
a harbor of refuge to mauy enterprising
American financiers. The rogues who
have got tbere, bowever, wiil noi be
disturbed, as the treaty does cot app:y
to past offenses.
"It la prcposed rays the Xational
Dow-rat, to subsidize certain steam

we export a considerable amount of
gods, but little or no farm produce.
The great bulk of our Jfarm produce.
which Is Itself the great bulk of our
total exports, goes to Europe. Nobody
proposes to subsidize steamship lines to
Europe. We presume that the farm
ers of this country see the point. The
Government will be asked this winter
to pay the freight for tbe maooTactur-
ers, but no one. has suggested that it
should pay the freight for the farmers
of this country. About how long do
the farmers intend to stand the kind of

The great importance that has been
attached by ail tbe leading men in
Spain to the life of the baby King il
lustrates the peculiar advantages pos
sessed by a healthy male infant for the
duties of a modern monarchy. Nowa
days, in Europe, a King reigns, bnt
does cot govern. He Is simply tbe
symbol or embodiment of an abstract
idea. He represents something fixed
and tangible tht does not chanee with
tbe changes of government and tne ops
and downs of popular sentiment. The
actual executive power is in the Minis
try, subject to the control of the repre
sentatives of the people, and tbe active
interference of the monarch in public
business is usually resented and is like
ly to do mischief. An adult monarch
is often tempted to such interference,
but a cLild is not. Hence tbe advan
tage of a baby king.
In seme countries tbe little king's
sister would serve jost as well. The
people of Holland, for example, will be
quite pleased when the young Princess
Wilhelmiaa shU succeed to the imbe
cile o'd king. But in Spain tbere etill
are sticklers for the Salic law who do
not believe in a true succession In the
female line. This was tbe whole
groncd of contention of Don. Carlo,
and though Alfonso came in under a
title derived from bis grandmother,
yet his son's succession tended to es
tablish the lice against the claims of
tbe Carlists. Tbe reversion of tbe
crown to a girl will be very likely to
revive tbe pretensions of tbe present
Don Carlos, and tbe monarchy in Spain
is not quite strong enough to bear any
serious division among its partisans.
At tbe same time Republican senti
ment Is cot strong enough to do with
out tbe monarchy. Tbe leading Re
publican statesmen, like Castelar,
maintain that tbe Nation must grow
accustomed to representative govern
ment acd parliamentary customs berore
it can safely dispense wi h tbe form of
fixed executive. This is what has giv
en the Republicans also a special inter
est in tbe life of tbe little king, who
served tbe purpose of a figure-head so
well under tbe existing constitution.
From their point of view, however, the
little- siter will do es well, tte molber,
th Queen Regent, being a lady of great
tact ana good Bens who evidently holds
the respect and affection of the whole
people and who maintains the dignity
of tbe Crown without middling in af
fairs of government. rhila. Times.
The Present Crngressiaaal Situation.
This week's proceedings la th Hons
of R?prt-sentatlves ere sure to be in
teresting and important. The Re
publicans will undoubtedly take ad
vantage of the chaotic condition that
prevails, utider the arbitary and fitful
code denominated "Speaker Reed's
rule," to obtan Incidental advantages
that will promote thir seLeme for
s'renirtheniDg the majority ty unsat
ii g D.mocratic membeis and giving
their p'ac-s to Republican contestants.
In ability aBd elrquence tbe advant
age in the present House i3 decidiy with
tbe D.-mocrats. The Republicans have
no one on :he floor to take the place of
Speaker Rtd, and th: Sp?aktr, while
ready to US9 all the power of the Chair,
lacks the co-operation o a floor leader
capable o' carrying out his plans. M i
jor MeKinlt-y's ability evidently does
not li iu the line of Parliamentary
tactics, and men of much information
aod experience in CongreES, such as
Mr. Cannon of Illinois, do cot enter
into parliamentary codes; at this ses
sion with their accustomed energy.
The dull mediocrity cf Harrisonism
and the utter hopelessness of Republi
can prospects exercise a depressing in
fluence upon the members of the ma
jority. Thes conditions may chauge
somewhat as tbe session proceeds, but
up to date the sup-riortly of I he Dem
ocratic side bus been strikingly maci
fehted. Tbe stale of affairs above described
is uot by any means free fram danger.
That "pride goeth before a fail" is a
maxim to bn always borne in mind in
the conduct of struggles iu closely di
vided deliberative nodus. Overccnfl
dence, based on ability and pre-Iiminary
success, la an apparent DaiOcratic
danger. Tbe future is hopeful, bnt it
is the prenent with which we bave to

taken that no point of advantage how

Judicial Outrage ia Florida.
That the authority of the United
Staus Court in Florida has been gross
ly perverted for Drusn n
proved in the trial of a case before
Judge 8ajneat Jacksonville on Wed-
A lefer of recen date was read In
evidence in which United Siates Mar
shal John R. Mizell wrote to C. C.
Kirk, his deputy, to "make out a lis:
of fifty or sixry names of tried and true
Ropoblicans from your county regis
traiion list to serve as jurors." The
list was forwarded as directed, and the
Federal Court is alleged to be conduct
ed on the basis of packfcd juries from
which all but R-publicans approved by
tha Machine ledis are carefully ex
cluded. The outrage Is of the most flagrant
acd boldest sort' but. Judge Swajne
seems to treat it as a trifling informali
ty respecting which the chief difficulty
is that it has been found out. The case
on trial when the disclosure occurred
grew out of the elections ;the accused
at the bar was a Democrat, and the ob
ivous effect of the selection.of a hostile
partisan lurv was to nrevent rir
hearing and just judgment of the
cause. The letter ot the Marshal was,
in fact. comDlete evi-tnnro nf tha art
est jjb of "jury fixing" on record.
The law reeulatin? the drrinr nt

act of 1S79 provides that the drawing
shall be by the Clerk of the Court and a
Commissioner, "a well-known member
of the principal political party opposicg
that lo which the Clerk may belong,"
and it further prescribes tbe method of
their work as follows: "The said clerk
and the said Commissioner each to
place one came in said box alternately,
without reference to party affiliations."
But it aDUears thu.t hv tha onnor.i-..--
of the Fioilda officials it made cot tbe
least difference in the world what was
done at the statutory drawing. The
lists furnished to tbe Clerk by the dep
uty Maisbal, at the order of his cbier,
were it seems, made op of selected
"tried and true Republicans." Out of
such a sufpty ODly partisan jurors
couid be drawn, and the final selection
could not be made "without reference
to party affiliations," as tbe law re
quires. This all eition cf Dackinir of ITmtprf
States juries Is the most serious of
many severe charges against the pre
sent Administration that have arisen
out of recent events. Equal justice be
tween all citizens and exact observance
or the statutes designed to prevent
favoritism in courts, are mattere that
lie close to the foundation of popular
government. No contempt of them
or light dealing witu them can b? tol
erated by any bones; official or any pa
triotic citizen.

Farmers in this country are asking
bow tbey can diversify their crop? and
make valuable the soil that is hardly
worth tbe intereet. tbe taxes and the
working. In England also this ques
tion is op for debate, and answers nave
for some time been coming In. One is
raising fruit to preserve it for borne and
foreign consumption. One feature of
life that is increasing is tbe extent to
which f jod ia prepared so that it needs
only a little manipulation for tbe table.
In this way housekeeping has materi
ally changed, and the process ia going
ou in ELgiand even faster than in this
country. For example, in Kent county
75.000 hands are employed in preparing
for the market fruits in a great mnny
ways. Where butter is dee. r pieserved
frui re taking its place, not as a
laxury. but as a common article of
fiKvt. eprcial!y jam. which sells ic
ErgUnd considerably IS9 than butter,
aod is deemed a nuturious article ot
focd. There are many ways to put
the soil to use at once practicable and
remunerative. Our farmers are too
much inclined to atiek to the beaten
raths, without troubling themselves o
look for new ones, or hardly thinking
haw their farms Can be made i,r'fUb.
in new ways. Large towns and cities
have created the demand and supplied
the means for buying many things not
before sold in quantities. The intelli
gent farmer will see for himself how
this state of things has spruit up right
under his noee without bis having
noticed it. The sail, hk the metals
and other raw material, may he made
useful, and evn profitable, in way
that bave beeu litti or not at all tm

In calling attention to the marked
change that has taken place in tbe pop
ular conception of tbe relation and
proper functions of tba government
toward private affairs, Mr. Cleveland
bis done well. A strong party bs
grown up which to a grea'eracd great
er degree !oks to be government, to
the action of tbe Execuive or .f the
LegiVatun, to aff rd telief fiom diffi
cul ies growing out of natural caus-s

es.s a party to which trie govt-riimeot
is a duuj ex mirhioa. sup;vai;tirg the
p-r'finsl energy of thosie concerned.
Perhaps no tendency of nvd-ro civil-iz:-tion,
in Araeric at leas', is more
marked fban this. To n ever increns
fcd extent appeals are made for "such
prac.ical tokens of g'H-dneM," to us
tbe euphemism of a contemporary, as
steaa-Ship suLeiidies. The sugar grow
er is equally urgent, if for political rea
iM't.s It-rii eurcrssfu'. in demanding a
bounty as an Inducement to cou'ioue
the pros-cntion of bis industry. The
financial affaus of the nation are pnt
in jopardy and exposed to a continual
menance in order to satisfy tbe de
mands of the owners of silver mines
diasa'.l.sSed with the natural down
ward tendency in the price of tbur
commodity due to increased production.
Acd finally from the boie long list of
thos4 who bave tasted tbe fcDrva'ing
draught of protection, who bave be
come "dependants upon the favor of
the government and teo2ciaries under
its taxing power," there arises a
unanimous demand for tbal protection
in steadilyiccreasicg measuie.
It is useless to attempt to gloss over
these facts by eallling them -'certain
well established and time tested prin
ciples of political economy." The
phenomenon is one which may well ar
rest kbn attention of tbe statesman and
the put Icist. It marks a radical
change of attitude on the part ot a
large stiare of tbe population toward
the functions of government. The
jealous preservation of private affairs
from tbe interference of the State that
was long tbe badge o. Anglo-Saxon
freedon. seems to have decayed. Gov
ernment is no longer regarded as some
thing imposed by the necessity of main
taining social and political order, but
ss a me&ns for tbe furtherance of pri
vate interests.
The. Socialistic idea of a paterna1
government, regulating tbe occupations
of its subjects and directing their lives,
is advancing. From the extreme pro
tectionist doctrines, involving gov
ernmental interference to adjust the
relations of different interests, to create
and to destroy industries as a matter of
policy and cot of capriee. the step is
short to ibat socialism which merges
tbe individual in the State cot in poli
tics alone, but In bis entire existence.
Purblind indeed is be who sees no con
trast, between this and the earlv'dais'of
the Republic and who derides the warn
log of one more far sighted as the
