Mr. Wilcox Is not only in favor of re storing the native monarchy, with Queen Lil at its head, but he ran on that platform against a Republican nominee and a Democratic nominee and was triumphantly elected So there we are—up against it good and hard!

But whatey- er he does or does not do his election creates an anomalous situation. One thing appears to be certain about him, and that is that he Is a man with the courage of bis convictions. Otherwise monstrated Kres is not only but for o m openly who ran ngress and statesman who recrimination more would not proclaimed his mission he have quixotic of lost throne the deposed queen, There Is no more prospect of that, whatever restoring to else may happen, than there Is that the Stuart line will be restored to the throne of England or the heirs at law of Joachim Murat will reascend the throne of Naples or those of Joseph Bonaparte once more reign at Madrid, Population Incongruous, Mr Wilcox is honest are No, doubt Delegate no The that he 1s brave.

Mr. McKinley declares for the last of the nineteenth, for he opens up by say. Ing, “At the outgoing of the old and the Incoming of the new century.” That seems clear, concise, sensible. Let us hope that that will be final. for there never was any sense In counting 1000 as the beginning of the twentieth tentury.
