Star Route Law.
New YORK Herald.

The star route proceedings have
reached stage which affords an en-
tertaining illustration of one of the
curious refinements of the law or its
administration under which this case is
tried. Up TO this point the most dam
aging testimony against the jobbers has
been excluded by Judge Wylie, because
no conspiracy has been established.
Now the star route layworA argue
that no conspiracy has been established
because the evidence produced does
not show that the ring conspired to
plumber the government. Thus when
Walsh took the stand to swear to the
significant conversation in which Brady
is alleged to have demanded for himself
twenty per cent. of Walsh'sreceipts for
having expedited" his route besides
Walsh's contribution to the COMPRESSION.
al fund, and to have informed Walsh
that this was simply applying to him
the same rule that had been enforced
against the other ring contractors, the
proposed evidence was objected TO be-
cause a conspiracy had not been proved.
The important testimony Of Rerdell
was excluded for the same reason. Now
it is claimed that there is no conspiracy
because there is no proof of its exist
ence. This will doubtless strike the
average lay mind, which sees in the
testimony of Rerdell and Walsh the
most pointed, if not legally competent
proof OF conspiracy, as a piece of legal
jugglery which might be diverting if
the issue involved were less serious.
But the ordinary layman looks at
the mater from common sense in
stead of legal standpoint. The pro-
ceedings to which we have referred may
be regular enough in law, but should
the result be the exclusion of the most
significant evidence tending 10 show the
existence of conspiracy and The con-
sequent finding that no conspiracy has
been shown, it will be pertinent 10 in
quire whether the law cannot be made
to defeat as readily as promote the end

Ten miles from London Is fine old
place called Charlton park. Many years
ago great sale of mulberry trees, with
other timber, took place there. The
auctioneer could give no explanations
as 70 hew such an immense quantity
of mulberry timber should be there
but it was subsequently explained that,
with a view to British silk culture,
James |. had done all in his power to
encourage mulberry plantations, and
actually appeared at court IN silk suit
woven out of cocoons which the queen
had personally raised from her silk
worms. 1t was later on deemed to be
impolitic to check French imports, so
the silk scheme fell through. The
Charlton trees had been planted at the
time of the rage for silk-making.

ROYAL HANDS FOR SALE.
The Marriageable Princes and Prin-
eesses In Europe

OCfSNS ~ AN1AVPC
The Manchester (England) Guardian
in recent issue says: In accordance
with its annual custom the Herald of
st. Petersburg has just published
complete list of the manageable prin-
ces and princesses living at the present
moment in Europe. The manageable
age for q prince is from tweuty-four to
forty, and for a princess from eighteen
to twenty eight. The former, therefore,
has sixteen manageable years as
against poor decade of the other. On
the other hand the number of eligible
princes exceeding that of manageable
princesses. There are thirty-one of the
former and twenty-four of the latter.
Nest of these princes naturally belong
to prince-ridden Germany. There are,
indeed, no less than twenty German
princes now ON the marriage market.
In this list is not included any rep
resentatiye of the royal house of Prussia
the eldest son of the Crown Prince be-
ing married already, and the second
being only twenty years old. The most
eligible bachelor of the number is no
doubt King Ludwig, of Bavaria, but
no more obdurate bachelor and mis-
ogynist exists. The rest of the Princes
are little better than Princelings, and in
mentioning one of them-Henry XVII,
Prince of Reuss-the chronicler from
whom we are quoting thinks himself
bound 10 add that though the princi-
pality is but small the Prince is uncom-
monty we'll of. The rest of Europe has
but poor supply of Princes by the
side of Germany. France offers
Bourbon in the person of Prince Peter
d'Orleans, born in 1915, and now occu-
plying the humble position of Liedten-
ant in the French navy. Denmark
supplies a candidate in the shape of
the Kings youngest son, Prince Waldo
mar. The royal house of Italy furnish
es that eligible widower, Prince Anna
doe, once King of Spain. Another
widower of a less eligible description is
Prince Albert, lord and master of tiny
Monaco. The Netherlands, Austria.
Russia and Portugal each furnish one
or more representative to the list OF
princesses there is in the first place and
above all our own Princess Beatrice,
the only remaining unmarried daugh-
ter of the Queen, now 25 years old.
Other Processes are to be found by
the wooer with the necessary qualifica-
tons in Spain, Portugal, Holstein,
Hessen and other minor German prin-
cipalities Lastly ifany one is bold en-
ough to WOO new Penthesilea, she is
perhaps to be found in that defendant
of a line of warrior chieftains, the
Princess Zorka, of Montenegro.

A New Party.
ON the Albany Press.


If Mr.. Conkling proposes to organize
q new party whose principles shall all
be as sound as that of his oldfashioned
notions on public economy, he will not
have for his followers the Robesons
and the John Reaches of the Republi-
can party, nor the class of Democrats
who are helping to engineer the swind-
ling River and Harbor bill through Con-
gress; but the farming and other labor
ing interests of the country, which pay
the bulk of the taxes required to meet
these wasteful expenditure, would
gladly accept his leadership. And
thoughtful men everywhares, who be-
lieve in the axiom that waste brings
want, and that the corrupt use of the
peoples money by those who control
the national purse-strings is danger
that menaces the life of the Republic,
would hold their party affiliations OF
little account in view of the supreme
inheritance of such an issue.

Good. Night.

How very common place is the ex-
preston Goodnight" and yet what
volumes it may speak for the future
time! We never listen to it in passing,
that this thought does not force itself
upon us, be the tones in which it is
uttered ever SO thoughtless. The lapse
of a few hours may SO surround and
hedge it in with horror that of all the
millions Of words which lifetime has
recorded these two little words alone
shall be remembered; "Good-nightw
The little child has lisped it as it passed
smiling from this world; the lover with
his gay dreams of the nuptial morrow;
the wife and mother, with the tangled
threads of household cares still in her
fingers; the father, going out to death,
leaving home and kin unprotected and
uncared for. Goodnight The seal
upon days past and days to come.
What hand so rash to tear aside the
veil that covers its tomorrow.

STEM-wINDING watches are now made
on different plan from what has been
customary, the improved system pcs
sessing, it is thought, some special adj
vantages. Thus, when it is desired to
set the hands, the stem is first drawn
out, which causes 4 collar on the end
of it to bear upon a stud in the shorter
arm of two.armed curved lever. This
depresses the long arm of the latter,
which turns yoke and disengages the
gearing from the handspring arbor,
connecting an independent wheel with
the hand-setting train, TO which motion
is impaired by turning the stem. As
soon rs pulling on the stem ceases, the
yoke is thrown back to its place by a
spring. Normally, another wheel, car
ried by the yoke, meshes with the arbor
wheel of the handspring, and is thus
always ready for winding by pressing
down upon and winding the stem. The
arrangement is simple.
