as soon as he had read it:--"IIer

tomary prudence. She has evil

is the third time within as many
weeks that she has refused to exer-
else powers that are undoubtedly
among the prerogatives of the
Crown. The first case was that of
Louis Riel, whose sentence she
could have commuted by single
word, but she only referred the
matter to the Colonial Office. The
second case was the Burmese diff

of India, and no power on earth

leave the affair in the hands of the

pRER0GATIVES OF THE SOVEREIGN IN
ENGLAND.

LONDON, November 7.-During
the past few weeks there have been
persistent rumors that the Queen
was aiding and abetting Prince
Alexander of Bulgaria. Prince
Alexander was known to be persona
grGta to Her Majesty, and if any
proof was needed of the affection
of the Queen toward the house of
Battenberg it was furnished by the
effusive welcome which she accorded
to Prince Alexander when lie came
to Osborne to assist at the nuptials
of his brother, Prince Henry, and
Princess Beatrice. Prince Alex
ander was the only reigning prince
present at that ceremony, and IN
the gorgeous professions and recep-
tions that preceded and succeeded
the marriage, the flags of England
and Bulgaria were closely inter-
twined. Every nationality in Eu-
rope was represented by bunting,
but next to the st. Georges Cross
the Bulgarian colors had the pre-
cedence. The Queens affection for
the handsome Battenberg princes
has been shown in many ways since
her daughters marriage, and it was
not unnatural that it should be
rumored that Her Majesty was
using her Imperial power to keep
Alexander on his throne. The
rumors to this effect have lately
been so numerous and plausible
that they have been printed by
papers like the Times, STANDARD
and Telegraph. Her Majesty to-
day authorized an emphatic denial
of all stories relating to personal
and dynastic intrigues. The des-
patch, which was evidently written
by Sir Henry Ponsonby, at the
Queens personal dictation, is ever
angry in tone, and dictates that He.
Majesty considers that sugges'
tion of such a misuse of her power
is almost a reasonable insult. This
despatch from Belmoral was shown
to peer, who is q member OF tht

SERVIA AND BULGARIA.

The war between the two small
states of Servia and Bulgaria will
not likely be settled without involv-
ing the greater powers behind them.
Russia and Austria are too much in
terested in the disposition of the
Danubian territories to be quiet
spectators of the conflict for any |
great length of time. Russia's dis
approval of the acts of Alexander
of Bulgaria, by wiping his name off
the Russian Army lists, may be only
blind to cover her ulterior designs.
The Servia and Bulgaria of to-day
were recognized rs independent
principalities by England, Germany,
France and Italy after the last
Russo-Turkish war. The object of
this arrangement was to preserve the
integrity of the Turkish empire.
With Servia on one side, the sick
man would be out of harms way of
Austria, and with Bulgaria between
him and Russia, he would he well
protected from that quarter. Bull
garia has been subject to the Porte
since 1892, and has been ruled by
the pashas with despotic and often
brutal ferocity. The oppression of
the Turk excited an insurrcction in
1876, and the tiendish atrocities of
the Turkish soldiery in revcnging
the outbreak furnished modern his
tory with that heart-sickening chap
ter, headed "The Bulgarian Mas
sacres," on the reading of which a
thrill of horror ran through the civil
lied world. The Turk had his
Bulgarian massacres to thank for
producing complete revolution in
public opinion in England during his
struggle with Russia in 1878. If
the day of reckoning on the part of
the Bulgarians with Turkey has come
at last, there are few who read the
accounts of the massacres of ZIG
who will not devoutly wish more
power to the arm of Prince AleXan-
der, and hope he may be able to rid
his territories of every vestige of
Turkish authority. But the most
puzzling complication in the present
outbreak is the attitude of Servia
What Servia is fighting for seems tc
be the mystery of the hour. She is
no fonder of the maintenance of the
Turk than the Roumelian or Bulga
rian; and it would be supposed from
this view of the case, that Servi;
would 60 in to the fray against th'
Turk, and leave territorial lines tt
be adjusted afterwards. What seems
very reasonable explanation o
Servia's pitching in," is that he
King Milan has been put up to it b.
Austria. In that case, it may reason
ably be expected that Russia viii
covertly encourage the Bulgarian
by every means she can emplo,
without provoking the powers O
central and western Europe. Blu
the moves on the chess board o
European politics are pretty hard t.
understand and still harder to fore
see. The latest indications wer
that the belligerents would be pei
emptorily ordered by the confereno
of the powers to lay down the
arms, and submit to settlement I
their petty feuds by their big neigl
bors. Whether they submitted
such fiat OF not would depend, mo
probably, on the extent to whi'
Russian intrigue prevails on the OF
side and Austrian on the other.

Total. l............ ...... S236.Sl6 ~
Our previous figures showed an
average weekly export trade of
$4,000, or an annual total of
nearly S3,0oO,000. The month of
October gives a marked advance on
these figures, averaging about S64,-
600 a week and over So, 100000 for
the year. Comparing this with the
total imports at the Islands during
1884, S4,600,O00, it shows that
nearly seventy percent of their
trade is with San Francisco alone.
This leaves the remaining thirty
percent to be divided among Eastern
and other Pacific ports Of the United
States, Great Britain, Germany,
the Colonies, China, France, and
Islands in the Pacific. This is
plain proof of the value of this
trade to California.

There is growing conviction mon
thinking men that our systems of edu
cation are exclusively directed to in
tellectual scholarship, to the neglect of
manual training-th all our children
are being educated will, view to
professional life, all consideration of
the necessity of preparing some for
mechanics and artisans being lost
sight of; and that the consequence is
that the so-called professions" and
clerical positions are over-crowded,
and that from the overflow comes the
horde of spectators, gamblers, adven-
turers and lOafers who infest all our
large towns. Our systems of educa-
ton tend to impress the minds of the
rising generation with the preposter-
GUS notion that it is disgrace to la
Dor with the hands. The time is
rapidly coming when there must be a
change in this respect. The manly
dignity of labor must be recognized by
schools and by parents, and as much
attention must be given to the educa-
ton of mechanical experts, to the de-
velopement of mechanical genius and
to the creation of sound ideas as re-
CARDS the honor and the necessity of
manual labor as to merely intellectual
training. The hand must be educated
to work as we'll the mind to think

A HALF CENTURY HAS
WROUGHT.

When / was a boy, says Mr.. George
G. Stone, manager of the Vermilion Iron
Mines, to representative of The Miller
and that was forty years ago-I became
o clerk in a hardware store. There
wasn't knife, a pin, lock, door
knob, q hinge, for sale of American
make. Everything came from England.
The pins were made of two pieces, one
little bit of wire being wound around the
head of the pin. 1t often slipped off,
and became an unmitigated nuisance.
The solid-headed Pin of to-day is an
American institution, and it took YAM
kee to make the machine that not only
makes it, but at the same time sticks it
into the paper it is sold on. The keys
in those days for large door locks were
huge erowbars six or eight inches long,
and weighing a pound or more. You
couldn't carry them in your pocket
All locks were of bolts and springs. The
tumbler lock was unknown. These
little keys we have nowadays-and they
are an American device-show how
much progress has been made in the
use of iron. All the screws used to BIZ
imported, and the gimblet-pointed screw
of to-day, which bores its own hole, wal
an American innovation, and is the in
vention of a woman.
