It is only when the law gets hold of a man that he is willing to confess himself a lunatic.—Philadelphia North American. Hon. Charles Francis Adams, of Boston, died on the 21st at his resi dence in that city. He had suffered for several years from brain troubles arising from overtaxing his brain in literary work. Charles Francis Ad ams was the third son of John Quin- cey Adams, and the only child that survived him. He was born in Bos ton, August 18, 1807. Mr. Adams was one of the founders of the Republican party. He served two terms in Con gress with great distinction and was Minister to England from 1861 to 1868, displaying great ability in that re sponsible position. A Truthful Man. Hon. David Davis used to tell the frozen truth when he said: “Each year every local paper gives from $100* to $5,000 in free lines for the benefit of the community in which it is located. No other agency can or will do this. Tlie local editor, in pro portion to his means, does more for his town than any ten men, and in all fairness, man with man, ought he not to be supported, not because you hap pened to like him or admire his writ ings, but because a local paper is the best investment a community can make. It may not be brilliant or crowded with thoughts, but financial ly it is of more benefit to a community than a preacher or teacher. Under stand us now, we do not mean moral ly or intellectually, but financially, and yet on the moral question you will find a majority of the local papers on the right side of the question. To day the editors of the local papers do the most work for the least money of any men on earth. Subscribe for your local paper, not as a charity but as an investment.” The Iriqnois Club. The fourth annual banquet of this celebrated tariff reform club, took place at the Palmer House, Chicago, on the night of the 17th, inst. Ad dresses were made by Speaker Car lisle, Senator Beck, Hons. W. J. Sparks, M. W. Faller, Edward S. Bragg, J. Sterling Moran, James R. Doolittle, L. J. Kinnie and F. N. Lehman. Mr. Carlisle devoted his time to American Industries, and showed that their growth and pros perity cannot be promoted by unnec essary or unequal taxation. He plain ly demonstrated that the government cannot make its citizens rich and pros perous by taxing them, and demon strated the absurdity of the protec tive tariffites who attempted to make the public believe that the farmer can be made more prosperous by in creasing the tax on his land, or that the manufacturer could be benefitted by compelling him to pay a high rate of taxation on his machinery, or his income. Yet such a proposition would be no more unreasonable than to say that the prosperity of the peo ple is promoted by imposing taxes up on their food, their clothing, their building material, their means of transportation and tools and all the implements used in their industries. Taxes do not create wealth they de stroy it. These taxes are imposed up on one class of the people to increase the profits of another. Taxes should be equal and uniform. It is evident if taxes are not equal somebody is cheated. If a tax is put upon foreign blankets, which makes a farmer pay four dollars a piece for blankets that he could get at three dollars without the tax, he is cheated and the maker of the blanket is the gainer. Why don’t the advocates of the tariff tax show that this is not so if it is not. The friends of the high tariff say, this tax is paid by the foreigner. They ought to know that is not true, for the foreigner ceases to bring his cheap blankets to this country on account of the tax and the American maker pockets the extra dollar. There would be some sense in imposing the tax if the foreigner would pay it, but he won’t, and sends bis goods to other markets. The people ought to be free from this unjust tax, and many others imposed upon them by the tariff. The democratic party is op posed to this policy; the republican party favors it and this is one of the leading distinctions between the two parties. In these few remarks we are not exhibiting at length the great ar gument of Mr Carlisle, for want of space. The object of a tariff is to produce revenue for the government, and it is wrong to make an unneces sary tax to the amount of nearly a million of dollars for the benefit of the tariff monopolists. Washington Letter. From Our Regular Correspondent. Washington, Nov. 23, 1886. Editor Union-Recorder: Yesterday was the day of ex-Presi- dent Arthur’s funeral, and all of the Executive Departments were closed and the clerks had holiday. The Uni ted States Supreme Court adjourned from Friday until Tuesday for the same reason. All of the public build ings in Washington are draped in black for the dead ex-President and flags are displayed at half mast. Pres ident Cleveland and several members of his cabinet attended the funeral and Congress was represented by a committee of Senators and Represen tatives. Since tlie black draperies have been hung on the front portico of the White House, the President and Mrs. Cleveland take their carriage at the south entrance when they go out for a drive, and all the projected gayeties at the Executive Mansion will be post poned for the thirty days of mourn ing. Then, the black bunting will be taken down and folded up and laid away to do service again at the death of the next high official or ex-official of the Government, and the gay so cial season will begin. The custom of shutting down on public work, and turning fif teen thousand employes loose when ever a President or ex-President, a Cabinet officer or ex-Cabinet officer happens to die, is a quest onable way of showing respect to the distinguish ed dead. It is a pic-nic for the clerks and a time for congratulation and they would be glad to multiply by a hundred fold the occasions of public sorrow that give them a day off and out. There is no doubt that the cus tom would be more honored in the breach than in the observance, but it is one of those things that a long line of precedent has established and it would be difficult to decide where or with whose demise it should end. President Cleveland has been much displeased at efforts to get him to in terfere in the now widely discussed Washington Police scandal. He does not feel, in the present condition of affairs, that he would be warranted in taking hold of the matter, although the time may come when he may be called upon to take some action. The President is still deeply absorbed with the preparation of his message, and although he is subjected to some un avoidable interruptions, the approach es to him are closely guarded. The President’s appointment of Mr. Fulton as Paymaster-General of the Navy was very gratifying to naval officers, and his appointment of Col. Moore as Surgeon General of the Ar my was received with satisfaction among officers of the Army. The regular army officers who have been examining the militia of the States and Territories have reported com mending the efficiency ol the respec tive organizations. They think, how ever, that the armed militia of the country would be doubled if Congress would appropriate annually a much larger sum to be distributed among the States for improved arms and ac coutrements. In the latter case it is estimated that the militia would consist of 300,000 well drilled men, who could be called into active ser vice at a moment’s notice, and who would be almost as effective at the outset of a war, as the regular Army. Many conventions and associations —more than ever before—want to come to Washington during the next year. The National Grange has de cided to hold all further meetings of that order in Washington, and a com mittee has been appointed to take measures for the erection of a suitable building here for its officers and its sessions. Soon after Congress meets there will be a large gathering of notabili ties here to discuss the proposed Ex position at Washington in 1889 and and ’92. And later there is to be a convention of an educational charac ter which will attract a good many people. It will be in the interest of Federal aid to common schools and will be composed of school superln tendents from the various States and Territories. It has been proposed that each State of the Union shall erect in this city a handsome building to be used as a State headquarters, and perhaps as a residence for the Senators of the respective States. The plan, which is likely to be carried out some time, would prove a great convenience to each State, and would add much to the grandeur of the National Capital. ‘1 Love You. To My Wife on Our Wedding Anniversary. “I love you!” Swift have sped the years Since, like the south-wind, breathing low, That soft voice on my raptnred ears Fell like the gentle sighs one hears When dew drops fall like happy tears Beneath the sunset’s dying glow. “I love you!” This sweet, simple phrase, The purest gem of life, contains— Not all the great world’s meed of praise Such wealth of happiness conveys, Nor lingers long in after days When little else of life remains. “I love you!” Oh, the blessed thought, That one true heart is all my own; And nearer earth to heaven is brought While in the soul what wonders wrought! A thousand glories new are tanght, And hope 8 unfold before unknown. “I love you!” As the sunbeams burst Through clouds that shroud the sullen skies; A star when storms are raging worst— Soft rain to burning lips that thirst— So comes this holiest bliss uncursed, A sacred joy that never dies. “I love you!” All that grieves and harms Is driven from out the throbbing heart. Abides a soothiug peace that charms All cares and sorrows’ wild alarms, And in those close entwining arms Content is found, and perfect rest. Montgomery M. Folsom. Macon, Ga. The Trial of Queen Elvira. Ex-Vice President Wm. A. Wheeler is lying forgotten at his home in Ma lone, New York, a slave to opium and a chronic invalid, and has dropped completely out of the public mind. The Augusta Evening News, says, “Seeing chief Platt and Mayor May, in conversation this morning, (19th,) enquired when the new paid fire de partment woilld be organized. The Chief replied about the middle of next month.” The Jews are talking of transfer ring their Sabbath to our Sunday, be ginning with the year of 1900. The matter is exciting much attention in England. Powderly always orders the Knights of Labor to return to work whenever he sees that a strike is a failure,, but if there is a prospect of the Knights winning he keeps as silent as a clam in a mud bank. In looking over some portion of Spanish history during what is called the Dark Ages, we came across the celebrated trial of Queen Elvira, the wife of Sancho the Great as he was termed who succeeded his father, Garcia, in 1034. We make up a brief account of the trial which we think will be as interesting to our readers as a story. He was styled the great for his achievements in fighting the Moors who for a long time by the force of arms maintained their su premacy in a large portion of Spain. At the death his of father he succeeded to the crown of Aragon, Navarre and Sobrabe and added to them in right of his wife, the earldom of Castile and made the river Pisuarga the boundary between his possessions and the kingdom of Leon. His wife Elvi ra was the daughter of another San- eho, Earl of Castile. She gave him three sons, Garcia, Gonzalo and Fer nando. By his first wife he had a son whom he named Ramiro. Sancho, the Great, upon setting out on anoth er expedition against the Moors, left his favorite horse to the care of the Queen with the express injunction that no one should ride him in his ab sence. Urged however by the en treaties of her eldest son Garcia, Elvira would have consented to his using the horse, but for the remon strances of Sesi a conscientious and faithful knight who urged her to. obey the instructions of the King. Incensed by her refusal, Garcia pre vailed on his two younger brothers to enter into a conspiracy to accuse their mother of faithlessness to the royal bed. They vowed revenge, pro fessing to believe that Sesi and the Queen were both faithless to the King. This they believed was the most obvious means of involving both in the some ruin. Don Rodrigo, Arch* Bishop of Toledo, in alluding to El vira’s case thought it necessary about the middle of the 13th century, upon relating the story of Elvira and her sons, to set a great value upon an ex cellent horse and have it always in readiness in case of a sudden invasion of the Moors and it was the custom for kings and noblemen to build the stables close by their ladies’ chambers that in the absence of their husbands and protectors, they could seek safety by flight. Few historical readers need being reminded that Andromache is represented by Homer as in the habit of feeding her hus band’s horses. Influenced and distracted by the ex traordinary fact that her own sons were her accusers, the calm and de liberate denial of criminality by the Queen had no weight with the King, and Sesi’s vehement advocacy of her innocence only added to the firmness of the King in insisting upon her trial. The day being come, the lists for the combat were opened before the castle of Naxera, where she was kept as a prisoner. It was feared by those who knew the courage, power and re vengeful spirit of Prince Garcia that the unfortunate accused would hardly find a champion among the nobility of her kingdom. But the herald had scarcely proclaimed the trial by bat tle, when a knight armed at all points, rode boldly toward the high scaffold on which the king and the judges were seated and fiercely flung his gauntlet almost in the accuser’s face. It was Ramiro, his half brother, who swore he would either wash out the stain fixed upon the Queen in the blood of her recreant sons or seal with his own tue high opinion he had of her virtue and innocence. . ,, , , , The Master of the Field had al ready exemined the armour and wea * pons of the combatants and placed them so as to prevent either of tnem being dazzled by the sun in the en counter, when a holy Ia an, in * habited a solitary cell m the fastnesses of the neighbouring mountains, broke through the surrounding multitude, and rushing fearlessly between the levelled lances, loudly called upon the king to stop the combat. A wild sur prise startled the multitude. The au thority of austere sanctity was never disowned among the warlike Span iards. At the monarch s command the Master of the Field, who had backed his horse towards the barrier, darted at one leap, between the com batants; their lances were raised and all hung breathless on the emaciated lips of the Hermit. “Lady,” cried he to the Queen, who veiled from head to foot in a black scarf, sat on a low stool below the platform, “Lady, look up to Heaven and fear not that He who sits far higher than that throne from which thou dreadest the blind award of man, bath left thee to per ish in thine innocence. And thou, credulous king, cans’t thou thus cast thy best jewell to be trampled upon, because the foul breath of calumny dare for a moment to dim its lustre! The wrath of Heaven fall—but God forgive me, for thus forgetting the meekness of him whose minister I am. Look not, O, King, for satisfaction to your doubts, from human blood. By that which was shed, on the cross, I swear, thy Queen is innocent. The villainy of her accusers was but last night avowed to me by one of them, under the sacred seal of sacramental confession. I cannot, Heaven itself, cannot save from the shame which is due to their felony. But no other punishment may be inflicted upon them. The word of a priest has been pledged to the repentant sinner, when kneeling at my feet in voluntary con fession of his crime. I cannot reveal the name of him who now saves his mother’s life and honor, and it would be unjust that he suffered with the obdurate and impenitent. Beware, therefore, O, King, of a fresh error, worse and more impious than thy first. Beware of sealing up the lips of sin ners by thy severity, and stopping their only access to the seat of mercy. Pardon thy sons, O, King, I charge thee, pardon them as thou wilt have forgiveness.” “I will pardon them, holy man,” said the King, half choked with con tending feelings, “but can you, you my injured wife, pardon either them or me?” “I have already done it. I forgave them before I left my prison, when I implored forgiveness and pro tection for myself,” answered Elvira, raising the corner of her black veil, exhibiting a soft animation in her beautiful dark eyes as s ie looked- with a peaceful and composed coun tenance upon her husband. A shout of enraptured admiration rang round the lists. The sound of popular ac clamation seemed to breathe an air of dignity over the mild and serene fea tures of the Queen. She flung the scarf at once upon her shoulders, and turning first to the people, then slight ly inclining her majestic figure to wards the King, “Sir,” she said, “my forgiveness would be as full and un conditional as that which I desire from Heaven, if I alone were concern ed. My sons, yes, they shall bear that name. My sons have been ap pointed heirs to your vast dominions, each to wear an independent crown^ Let this your will remain unaltered. Yet I owe a sacred duty to my sub jects of Castile. The proud inheri tance which Providence has placed in my hands must not have reason to ac cuse me of having neglected its hon or. One alone of my sons has evinced a true sense of his guilt. Who it ia must forever remain sealed up in tho bosom of the holy priest who heard his confession. But certain it is that the disclosure, which has saved me from dishonor, could not come from the author of the conspiracy. No, my Castilian subjects shall never da honor to Garcia. Wculd that I had. the power to reward with that crown, my noble, my generous champion! But I will not involve these kingdoms in a destructive quarrel, merely ta gratify my private feelings. All I demaud is that the portions of the in heritance b • different-y allotted. Since one of the three must have Castile, let it be given to my son Fernando. A mother, next to God, can see into the- hearts of her children. I will remem ber when last he hung upon my neck. I feel his last kiss, and it tells me he could not have joined his mother’s enemies but in the hope to save her! At these words, one of the knights, lifting both his hands and pressing; them against his close helmet, was ob served to lose his balance in the sad dle and drop helpless on the horse’s neck. A look of inexpressible tender ness was directed by the Queen to the spot; but beckoning with her hand to hush the disturbance which the- Prince’s attendents had occasioned to prevent his falling to the ground.— “My last and most sacred duty,” she continued, “the acknowledgement of my gratitude, remains to be perform ed. Thou Ramiro, shall hencefor ward be my adopted son. The states, of Aragon, which upon my marriage, the King settled upon me, shall be thy own inheritance. It is not in my power to do more. Heaven I trust will crown thee with blessings, as man cannot ensure even with the gift of a throne strong, however, as is the im pulse of my gratitude and ardent as my prayers are for thy prosperity. I still more fervently implore mercy upon the unrepentent. But my pray er is, sooner heard when asking bless ings’ than when it attempts to stand between a hardened offender and the uplifted arm of divine vengeance.” Fernando inherited the states of Castile raising them to the rank of a kingdom, from that of an independ ent Earldom. By his marriage with Sancha, the only child of Borwudo, King of Leon, he ascended the throne of that kingdom. In his wars, Garcia, the author of the conspiracy was slain in battle, so also, was Gonzalo, the other conspirator. Fernando rose eventually to become the Emperor of Spain. Mr. L. D.
