THE ROYAL MARRIAGE.

Prince leopold has at last been married
to the Princess Helen of Waldeck, and
the occasion was made exceedingly bril-
liant, according to the accounts. When
the description of all these splendors IS
laid before the English people. however, it
is certain that many Of them will reflect
upon the genesis of the lavish expenditure,
and will ask themselves why the toihng
millions should be forced to contribute out
of their slender earnings to the support of
number OF princes and princesses who
are literally without any function or use-
fulness. The idea that the satisfaction of
seeing or reading about the doings of these
fortunate persons is enough for the British
taxpayers, is rapidly losing favor. Every
year the burden of the royal family is felt
to be mora unreasonable. It is different
question from that of the Crown. AS yet
there is no feeling against that, for many
reasons. e at least serves definite par.
pose, but these princes and princessss- fill
no usefub positions. They only spend the
money which other people earn, and the
other people are mora. and more persuaded
that this is wrong, and that they are not
called upon to submit to it. The existing
regime will no donbt endure during the
life of Queen Victoria, but when she dies
there will be pronounced indisposition 30
put up any longer with the burdea,of her
sons and daughters, and by that time Par
Iamea5 may find it necessary tt, propose
some change in the arrangements. Prince
Leopold is more popular than some of the
others, and therefore his recent increase of
income has been tolerated. but ID is evident
that public opinion On this question is be-
coming sensitive, if not sore, and that in.
diesses pressure which must eventually
cempel changes.

THE WEAKEST POINT YET.

The report of the minority of the COM
mittee on the Silver question appears TO
be singularly weak, even for that class of
reasoning, but its weakest point consists
in the wonderful observation that In the
event of a turn to the present prosper
ity OF the country it will more fully ap-
pear that our surplus OF this condemned
silver will greatly assist our Govern.
ment in sustaining its credit and con.
g tinuing to pay its obligations in specie,
g as it is now doing" Now the contingency
here referred to in so obscure and circuit
ous way is the contingency of drain of
gold, resulting in the substitution of silver
as the standard in this country. Should
this occur it is scarcely necessary to say
that it would at once cause most dis.
astrous depreciation in the whole of our
currency, depreciation which in the
aggregate would be equivalent to the
destruction of scores of millions of capital,
and that in all probability we should find
ourselves tied thenceforward to silver,
and put upon financial level with the
arrested civilizations of Asia. That is the
kind of prospect to which the minority
look forward with SNUG complacency
which, considering the amount of expe-
rience the country has had, is nothing
short Of amazing

INCREASE In THE COST OF L1v1Ha.

A dispatch from Chicago states that the
advance of prices in the neeessaries Of life
is beginning to produce serious alarm. The
restaurants are considering the necessity of
raising their rates, and housewives are
alarmed at the steady rise in the psice Of
meats, and some families in the lower
"walks of life have been compelled to give
Cup entirely the use of meat" The dis
patch says further that with all the ad-
"vance in the price of living, there is
disposition on the part of employers to
"reduce rather than advance wages, and
"laborers are confronted at the same time
with the difficulties of redueed wages
"and increased expenses" OF course all
sorts of theories are advanced 10 account
for this unpromising state of affairs, but
what we would like to see explained is
how such . condition of things has come to
pass under the beneicent system of Pro-
lection to Home Industry? The advocates
of that system have always asserted that
it made wages high and the cost of living
comparatively low. Bot it appears,
when the facts are ascertained, that
wages everywhere are falling, and that
at the same time the cost of living
is increasing. We showed yesterday
how this process is going on in Massachu.
sets, and now we are given to understand
that it is the same in Illinois and the West
generally. If Protection really protects
the workingmen, why is it that wages do
not keep pace with the price of living? 1t
is almost as bad state as country can be
in, when wages are falling and food is
growing dearer at the same time. If Pro.
lection has been unable to prevent such q
complete failure of its fundamental princi-
Piles as this, it must be time to discard it.
1t ia very certain that it imposes heavy
burdens on the consumer, and now it is
declared that the consumer not only gets
no compensation for these burdens, but
that he is becoming poorer every day. The

TIE "LhBoRER" CLAUSE.

We agree with Senator Miller that the
attempted definition of the word 'labor-
ers in the new Chinese bill is of very lit
tie Importance. AS was made evident in the
debate ON Thursday, the law cannot 90
any farther than the treaty, and if it seems
to conflict with the latter the only result
will be to give the President fresh excuse
for refusing to sign it. We must presume
that the Commissioners who negotiated the
treaty made the Chinese understand thor
ougly what class of immigrants we de.
sired to exclude, and we have no apprehen-
sion that it will be found possible to elude
the plain meaning of the generic and COM
prehensive term "laborers" To reach
conviction on this head it is only necessary
to analyze the term little. The word
"laborers must mean and embrace all
who labor with their hands, at least. 1t is
even doubtful whether it would not include
a larger class, but it is evident that if we
can keep out all the Chinese who work
with their hands in any way, we shall have
nothing to fear either from skilled or un-
skilled Chinese labor.

UNCHIYaLRoUs MARssnLgs.

The statement that the city Of Marseilles
las commenced suit against the ex- Empress
Eugene to recover chateau which the
municipality presented to Louis Napoleon,
certainly says little for the chivalry or the
magnanimity of that community. Indeed
it is diaicult to understand how, if Mar
seilles gave away this chateau, it can with
any appearance Of equity advance claim
to it. Perhaps the pretense is that ii was
given to the Emperor as head Of the State,
and that as he has ceased to be head of the
State, it reverts to the donors. But even
npon that theory it could hardly be claimed
by Marseilles. The republic might show q
valid title to it, but the city dispossessed
itself of the property when it made the
deed of gift. And altogether aside from
the question of law, this action appears to
be very sordid and mean. Surely the un.
fortunate lady who is made the defendant
in this case is entitled to some considers
ton at the hands of Frenchmen. She has
been bereaved of all whom she loved, shorn
of power and fortune. and everything that
could make life worth living. Her gray
hairs are being brought in sorrow to the

COX THROWS A BoMPsHELL.

Sunset Cox managed to throw bomb
shell into the camp of the tariff men on
Monday, in the shape of resolution as to
the proposed American Peace Congress.
The resolution declares that Congress
approves OF the invitation and its object,
"and advises an extension of the invita-
g ton to the Dominion of Canada, and
that in connection with the object of the
proposed Congress there be considered
and proposed scheme for trade an&
reciprocity among the nations of North
"and South American and the Dominion
"of Canada, with view to harmonize
such nations and the Dominion of Can
"ada in mutual relations of trade and
