Some of the Republican papers are be ginning to sneer at Robert Todd Lincoln because he was modest enough to say that he was not a candidate for any office In the gift of the Republican party.

England and other European countries must keep th’elr pau pers at home. The people of this country have os much as they can do to take core of their own pauper*. The Beginning of the Jubilee. Queen Victoria's jubilee celebration, which has been in progress for several days, really begins to-day. the date having been fixed by an act of Parliament. The Queen is entitled to the congratulations which she will receive from all parts pf her vast em pire. In the fifty years of her reign Eng land has made wonderful progress, and, with the exception of the Crimean war. has enjoyed peace with Europe. The nation during the period has had conflicts, of course, but no one of them rose to the dig nity of a great and exhausting war. There have been colonial disturbance, troubles with Ireland, armed resistance in the dependencies, and wars wjih China and with half civilized peoples in Asia and Africa While some of these were costly, both in men and money, in nearly if not all of them advantages were gained in the way of an increase of territory. Throughout the whole of Victoria's reign England’s power' has steadily increased. Her arms and her diplomacy, judged by re sults, have been as successful as at any other similar period of her history. While the empire has grown, the power of the people of England has steadily in crease*!. When Victoria ascended the throne in T%57 they had comparatively little influence in ptfblic affairs. To-day, how ever, nothing important can be done with out their consent. Suffrage has been gradually extended until it is a question whether any more power can be granted them without stripping royalty of all power. They have not gained what they have without conflicts, but the conflicts were peaceable ones. In each succeeding Parliament of the twelve that have existed in the fifty years an increase of their power has been noticeable, and doubt less during this jubilee season the question whether their power will continue to in crease until royalty disappears will present itself to many minds. Victoria was 68 years old on May 34. and it is worthy of notice that only three of her predecessors ruled longer than she has, arid that two of these ascended the throne at an earlier age than she did. Henry 111. reigned fifty-six years and began his reign in his tenth year, and Edward 111., who occupied the throne fifty and a half years, was crowned in his fifteenth year. Both of these Kings were younger than Vic toria is at the time of their death. Henry having died at 60 and Edward at 65. Vic toria's grandfather, George 111., who was crowned at 22, reigned fifty-nine years. The Laurens Trouble. It Ls probable that the excitement in Lau rens county, 8. C., caused by the alleged hostile attitude of the negroes in that lo cality. has a solid foundation, but it is doubtful if the situation is as alarming as the reports indicate it to be. Doubtless some white or colored demagogues have been talking to the negroes, telling them that they are not paid as much for their work as they ought to be, and that if they organine and make a determined stand for higher wages their demands will be com piled with. The danger is that if the negroes organize secret societies they will be led into com mitting acts of lawlessness. Incendiary speeches will be made to them. and. as they are easily influenced and exceedingly credu lous, they' may cause a great deal of trouble. The Governor of South Carolina is a cool headed man, however, and may be depended upon to take such steps as will allay excitement without increasing the danger of an outbreak. No doubt some of the leaders of the negroes have in dulged in threats that are calculated to make the white people uneasy, and they may have done this w-ithout having any settled pur pose of putting their threats into execution. It seems that the white people of Laurens have taken measures for self protection, and doubtless they acted wisely in doing so. It is better to be prejmxed even if nothing oc curs to disturb the peace. It would be unfortunate for the farmers to have anything to happen at this time that would tend to disorganize labor. The cotton-picking season Ls rapidly approach ing, when every laborer will lie needed in the fields. It is to be regretted that those who pretend to be the friends of the negroes have so little regard for their interests as to involve them in troubles which can result in no benefit to them, and it is also to be re gretted that the negroes themselves ore so easily influenced into adopting advice which 4 hostile to their welfare. The Comptroller of the Treasury, Dur ham, makes a good many enemies by his de cisions, but thus far it is quite evident that he is only doing his duty. A good many men would like to put their hands into the Treasury, and if the Comptroller would let them do it they would pat him on the hack and call him a good fellow. When he ob jects, however, and demands that all ac counts shall be honestly rendered, he Ls called a fool and an idiot. A siiecial to the Baltimore Sun says that Mr. B. W. Bell, one of the United States commissioners in Alatamn, whose accounts were razed by the Comptroller, has just addressed him an open letter, which, in vituperation and de nunciation, has scarcely ever been excelled in communications from one government official to another. Mr. Bell charges that he has been robbod and insulted by Judge Dur ham; that his methods are unlawful, arbi trary, cowardly and contemptible. He calls the first Comptroller un imbecile or a fool, whom it is folly to discuss questions of law with, and says that be has not sense enough to lie a knave. In answer to this attack tho Comptroller says: "The United States Commissioners have been in the habit of trying all sorts of cases without using any discretion whatever, and in consequence foes were piled up to a great amount. I determined to break up the practice. There were jieoplo who mude a livelihood as professional witnesses in revenue cases brought liefore the commis sioners. The cases were trival, and a ma jority of them were dismissed. The com missioner’s income depends upon the num ber of cases lie tries, and, in consequence, commissioners rather encourage the work of the men who file complaints for no other purpose than to lie retained as witnesses and receive their pay for such work from the govern ment. Mr. Bell, I think, was one of the worst of these. 1 started in on him when he presented a claim of $1,584 50. After due deliberation, I concluded lie was entitled to no more than $530 70 of this amount.” Just now all the papers are saying that the Panama canal is a doomed enterprise. It is certainly doomed unless M. dei*estseps gets u good deal more money than he has any prosjiect of getting at present. M. de * Lesseps has done wonders in his time, but if he gets enough money to finish the euual he will accomplish something that will l>e I regarded a* almost equal to a miracle. THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, JUNE 21, ISB7. A Ee mar Stable Casa Some daring train p >bberies have taken place in the West, and it is not improbable j that there will be others quite as daring. It Ls difficult to understand how two men can successfully rob a train, as is sometimes done, but the victims are generally unani mous in declaring that it is easy enough- The suddenness of the attack, and the un certainty as to the number of men making it. no doubt cause trainmen and possengeis alike to be seized with a panic. But whether this is the reason or not. it is not often that an attempt to nob a train fails. Near Cincinnati, a day or two ago. a re markable case occurred. This was an at tempt to rob a train filled with church peo ple who were going on an excursion. The train consisted of engine, baggage car and seven coaches. To reach the objective point of the excursion it was necessary to pass through a long tunned. The train reached the tunnel between 0 and 10 o'clock in the morning. Just as the engine and baggage ear emerged on the other side the tram was suddenly stopped by the air brakes. At the same instant two young men. who had con cealed themselves In one of the coaches, rushed among the excited excursionists. Li the middle of the aisle, just as the two young men were preparing to begin operations, one of them was recognized. He lost courage and ran to the platform and jumped off, followed by his companion. In this case the robbers evidently lacked experience. If they had been old hands at the business of robbing trains they would not have tried to steal from a party of church excursionists; for such excursionists do not, as a rule, carry much money or many valuables with them. It may be said, however, in favor of the robbers that they had wisdom enough not to make an at tack upon the baggage car. They doubtless knew that they would have found in it nothing but very weak red lemonade. It seems that after the excursionists reached their destination the robbers again showed themselves. They were not captured, however, but they were chased down a hill by a party organized for the purpose. At the bottom of the hill pursued and pursuers stopped and engaged in a war of words. The pursuers said; ‘‘We'll tell the police.” The pnrsued replied: “We don't care if you do.” During the day the robbers got close enough to the excursionists to steal a lunch-basket containing 15c. It has been said that this was a remark able case, and so it was. It was remarkable that an attempt should be made to rob a party of church excursionists, remarkable that the robbers lost yourage and ftotjpind still more remarkable that they were not captured when they sliowed themselves upon the picnic grounds. In Cincinnati, how ever, the case caused no surprise, for the people of that city, like those of other West ern cities, expect a rough to be guilty of any crime, .and they are more afraid of him 1 than they are of the most brutal Anarchist. If Miss Irene Hoyt, who made such a scene at Englewood, N. J., the other day is not insane, She Ls so near insanity that it might not be unwise to put her in an insane asylum. She has the income of *1,260,000, and yet she seems to think she cannot live upon that. Her effort to get the whole of her father's estate of $10,000,000 was a failure, notwithstanding the fact that Roscoe Conkling and Ben Butler were her lawyers. Senator Ransom, of North Carolina, says that there is no truth in the story that he has been consulted about going into the Cabinet if Secretary Lamar is made a Justice of the Supreme Court. There is no doubt that Mr. Ransom is very sincere in what he says. It is quite probable that if a vacancy were to occur in the Cabinet Senator Colquitt, of this State, would be asked to fill it. Doubtless the youth who shot his step father on Sunday in this city already sin cerely regrets his bloody deed, and if he could would gladly recall it. The only way to check crimes of violence is to enforce the laws vigorously. There will be fewer mur ders and murderous assaults when the im pression gets firmly fixed in the public mind that the punishment of crime is certain and swift. The people who suffer the least from hot weather are those who do not fret and worry over all the little matters which make up the sum of every day life. They do not fill themselves up with ixer and all sorts of cold drinks. They just go about their every-day duties in the usual way and accept the hot weather as something that must lie endured. The Blaine organs are trying to make it appear that in England Blaine is regarded as the greatest living American. Not much is known there about the Mulligan letters and Little Rock and Fort Smith railroad lionds. The honors Blaine may receive abroad will have no influence on tho esti mation in which he is held in this country. There is no occupation in Europe which pays so well as that of catering to the wonts of Americans. More Americans are going to Europe this summer than in any previous summer. It Ls estimated that 60,000 will visit Euroi>e this year. No wonder England, Germany and France find it so profitable to run steamships to this country. It Ls said that the governors of the New York Hbx-k Exchange are by no means har monious. Some of them want to increase the number of members, while others think the number is large enough already, It is proliahle that there are more wolves than lambs in Wall street, and that that is the cause of the lack of iiarmony. The Republican organs are circulating a story to the effect that Secretary Endi cott will have to get out of the Cabinet on account of his connection with the tattle flags incidental The organs don’t know what they are talking about. It is proba ble that Mr. Endicott will remain where lie is for the present. Money is mighty scarce at the West. At Kansas City g(x*l paper is discounted at 15 to 18 per cent., and at Minneapolis com mercial pa|>er rules at 10 per cent. It will lie still scarcer in the very near future if Congress does not take immediate steps to stop tho increase in the surplus of tho Treasury. President Cleveland’s figure is a liard one for a tailor to fit. After Mr. Cleveland be came Governor ho began to take a greater interest than lie had before in his attire.

Mr. B. Bets no More. From the Pittsburg Chronicle.

Keep a record for half an hour and see. If the white people are in excess I’ll give you a dollar apiece for as many or, there are in the majority. If the colored people are in excess you pay me a dol lar in the same way. •'All right," said Jlr. 8.. and the count com menced. The half hour had nearly elapsed, with a record of three or four Caucasians ahead, when a band was heard coming up the street. "What's that;" said the counters, as they gazed at the advancing throng. It was the funeral of a colored man who had been a member of several secret societies, and all his brethren had turned out to assist at the obsequies. Mr. B. makes no more such bets now. - ’ Giving: a Signal Unintentionally. From the Oil City Derrick. I beard a little story of Col. Markbrett. ex- Assistant Treasurer of the United States at Cin cinnati, that is worthy of the types. The Colonel is one of the principal proprietors of the Volksblatt. a German newspaper of influence and respectability. Under the Volksblatt office is a beer saloon, which the reporters and clerks about the establishment seem to have been in the habit of patronizing occasionally. A knock on the counting room floor was a signal for the man of beverage to send up a glass of beer; two knocks indicated two beers, and so on. Col. Markbreit came into the office late one night. It had been raining and the Colonel had no um brella. He stamped about on the floor to knock the rain off his boots and clothing, and in less than no time a leer-jerker made his appearance from below with twenty-seven schooners of beer on a tray. •‘Where are you going with that stuff?" de manded the Colonel. "Here,” said Gambrinus: “it vos ordered." “Who ia thunder ordered it?” “Veil, I suppose it was yoursellef." “Veil, I suohose it vasn't myseLleff," retorted the Colonel in indignant imitation. “Veil, anahow, Mr. Markbreit. I saw you in the office komin’ and heard you on the floor stamp twennty-seven dimes.” The Colonel compromised by drinking three cf the schooners and paying for all of them, but at the same time warning the beermonger never to do it again.

"I won't be away no more than an hour,” he said to his wife. “I'll run into the barber's and have my hair cut a trifle, and be back before you can say Jack Robinson.” Mrs. Elliort did not w ant to say Jack Robin son; she preferred Jack Elliort. "Don't go off somewhere with those horrid boys,” she said with a pout. “I shall expect you home at 8 precisely; no respectable and Well-behaved married man—” But Mr. Elliort hail snatched a kiss and the sentence never was finished. The hour soon passed. The girl had finished her work and gone out. Mrs. Elliort was alone, but she did not mind it, as she now expected her husband every moment. The clock struck 8. Mrs. Elliort was startled by a ring at the front door. Then she remembered that Mr. Elliort had said he would ring, as his latch-key was in his other coat. So she hurried to the door expecting to see her handsome husband—Mr. Elliort was a sort of Adonis with brown curling hair, hazel eyes, white teeth and a 10-v-e-ly moustache, parted in the middle and curled at both ends, w hile a gen erous beard fell in luxuriant waves over his shirt front. Hoping to see this vision of manly beauty, Mrs. Elliort opened the door, and after one look—saw that she had admitted a stranger. For the man—it was a man—stepped into the hall, and only that she barred the way w ould have gone into the parlor. “Sir:" she demanded in tones that she tried to make stern and steady, “wjiat means this intrusion ?” "I came to beg of you—” “I have nothing to give you." —"That diamond ring!" Oh, heavens! It was her engagement soli taire. She looked at the wretch while all the thoughts of a lifetime crowded into that brief moment, with thin idea the most prominent: “How shall I Identify hhn if he does not murder nn^jk' Then sh<Algan taking nqL-s while she tem porized wfßrnim. “I sh i JjA>t part with this ring while I have life. Om 1 word—(the wretch has a dimpled chin) Jp ild bring my husband, who bus a sevenAkaoter ready cocked (shaved skull, looks like ■Myrict) and you would at once be given ove#v >ne authorities (the wrete'.i has recently sIaJK-ytractf of a mustache). If you will go at onjPT will make no outcry (what a h . fish ex pression) and I do not want roy husi .md's (muds imbrued in your blood (the wretch ac tually grinned i nnd von will never. n*ver, never possess yourself of my diamond ring. (Oh, heavens: why doesn't Jack come!") "Madam," said the wretch, “I can not loiter. My pals are waiting fur me around the corner. Give up the ring without more ado." "Never, base wretch; take that, and that, nnd that,” and she laid on blows fast and furious, with an umbrella which she had secured by a backward motion of the hand. “Jenny," said a calm voice ns the umbrella was coolly taken out of her hand by the turn of an athletic wrist, “are you going to give me that ring?” "Jack-are you that wretch*’’ and Mrs. Elliort dropped on the lowest stair, as limp as a rag doll. "What on earth have you Ixs-n doing to yourself?" “Getting tny hair cut and my spring shave on. Perhaps you don’t like It?" “W-w-h-erea your mustache?” “At the barber’s.” "You look just like a murderer, nr—or- a burglar!" cried Jenny, who discriminated in the profession, "1 took you fore—" "Lawyer, doctor, lieggarnian, thief, as we useu to say when we were children. Well, they said my liest friend wouldn't know me,” laughed her husband. “C-o-m-e In," said Mrs. Elliort reluctantly. "I suppose I must give you house-room, but if ever there was a bare faced swindler you are one. Jack." / ITEMS OF INTEREST. Mant el Noel, an aged French Canadian, re siding at Laconia. N.

The hundred or so of delegates who were present were unani inous in believing that the time had come for organizing such a party, but its proceedings were hardly noticed by the great metropolitan journals. No people of any prominence at tended the conference, with the possible excep tion of Mr. Axel Gustafson, who is busy agitat ing this question in England. A “religious journal, the Christian Commonicealth , is vig orously advocating prohibition for Great Britain. “The condition of Carlyle's house in Great Ckeyne Row," writes the London correspondent of the Leeds Mercury, “is a positive scandal.

Seven letters, written by the Duke of Kent, father of Queen Victoria, were sold at the Hotel Drouot, Paris, the other day, for a sum of £4O. In one of these, dated August 17, 1819, occurs the following statement about the Duke s Infant daughter, who was afterwards to be Queen of England and Empress of India: "Her first name is Alexandria: victoria, by which name she is always called at home, is her last, being that of her dear mother. The first she liears after her (pxlfather, the Emperor of Russia. As to her resemblance to both of her parents, I may tell you that her mouth and her hair, which last promises to be dark brown.are like her mother's. Everybody says that her eyes and nose are mine. Yesterday she accomplished her twelfth week, and. what is remarkable, she is ns strong as a child of five months, and already shows symptoms of teething.” The American register of Paris says that the former residence of Charlemagne, the imperial palace at*%,gelheim, will soon be but a pnrely historical reminiscence. What is left of it inNie dcr Ingelheim, near Bingen on the Rhine, oppo site tlie proud Germania monument on the Nie dervvalk. are the remains of the castle, which will lie connected with the name of Charlemagne for ulI time to come, and In which Frederick I Bar barosso, resided, and where Henry IV was de clanvl to have forfeited the German imperial crown.

Louvois put an end to Ingelhoim's splendor an they did to Heidelberg Castle, leaving mere ruins on the site of the ancient palace, which were carried off peaccmeal. Its magnificent ma-- ble columns went to Paris, Mayenoe, Wiesbaden aud Heidelberg.
