ROYAL SNOBBERY.

The latest exhibition of royal snobbery
is to be found in the recent action of gen.
tleman who by the accident of birth and
the decree of an inscrutable providence has
been placed in the comfortable position of
heavy pensioner upon the over-burdened
English people because he happens to be
the eldest son of England's nominal
ruler. The Prince of Wales has
not been accused of possessing more
than an average amount of brains
and the London fire department never con-
templated the possibility of its services
being required through the probability of
his setting the Thames on fire, but it had
hitherto been presumed that Albert Edward
possessed at least sufficient discretion to
disguise his natural deficiencies by keeping
his mouth shut. Like many other men,
however. who have mistaken loquaeity
for brilliancy, he has recently been
talking too much for his own good.
A London publisher sent letters TO
a number of prominent men, among others
to this scion of totterng royalty, asking
them to make a list of 100 people who. in
their opinion, comprised the moss noted and
meritoriOuS of the worlds authors. The
son of his royal mother responded at once
to the effect that he didn't care who were
on the list, but that by all means THAcK-
cry should be excluded from place
among the elect. This from a man
whose name will be forgotten long years
before the world will begin to tire
of England's great satirical writer, would be
ridiculous were it not unutterably stupid. 1t
may be granted that i'm the matter of pretty
actresses or the character of the current
number of Bells Life, London's chief
sporting paper, the judgment of the prince
is beyond question, but when he undertakes
TO establish himself as literary censor,
he becomes very amusing. But then
THAcKERY had way of telling the truth
abOnt certain royal personages in England.
which Wales probably recognizes as ap-
plicable to the present day. Viewed in
that light, his exclusion of the famous
author may be regarded as measure of
self protection.

WELCoME. BOREALIs.

King BoREALTs, we greet you with a
hearty welcome. The loyal subjects of
your province thank you for the condescen-
sion of your visit. We have extended you
a reception right worthy of your imperial
highness. We have heard the sound of
your voice as it has been borne to our ears
upon the wings of the north wind. We
have felt the chill of your breath as it has
blown down upon us in polar wave. But
not until yesterday were our eyes permitted
TO feast upon your royal person. We had
been taught to believe that the Ice King
was a cruel and relentless tyrant who de-
lighted in death and suffering. We had been
educated in the belief that the blizzard
was your armor-bearer and your throne an
iceberg, that your diet was the hoar frost
and your bed was the snow drift; that the
icicle was your sceptre and that the con-
gealed tear drops of the victims of your
wrath were the jewels which bedecked
your crown, We believed that your heart
was frozen and there was no warmth in all
SOui AO0Ahi- AhO NOlg VI 9OuA
name made us shudder.
How delightfully."- the illusion has been
dispelled by your royal presence in our
midst. Though the cold wave be your
element. and you come to us clad in the
cherries robes of snow and frost. we have
seen the kindness which beams in
your eyes shining like the starlight
of the soft midnight. We have
been won by the soft enchantment of your
kindly-spoken words. We know that you
have tender. generous heart, from which
flows fountain of sympathy and feeling.
You are noble old monarch, worthy to
rule over the loyal subjects who make will
ing obeisance to your majesty. Nor are
we less captivated with your youthful
queen, in whose eyes are whole veins of
diamonds enough to furnish crowns for all
the queens of earth. Royal pair, we well
come you!

pointments have been made under the new
administration: Earl Sydney, lord steward
OF the queens household; Mr.. Arnold
Morley. patronage secretary; Chas. Russell,
attorney general. The composition of the
new cabinet has caused a great surprise.
1t is thought TO show marks of a compromise.
THE PRESS PLEASED.
No definite appointments 10 minor offices
have been announced. The Daily News
considers the new ministry a strong one,
and especially approves Of the appointment
of the Earl of ROSeberry and John Morley.
1t says the selection of the Earl of Kimberly
for the Indian secretaryship is the only
choice that is likely To meet with negative
approval. The absence of Sir harrington
from the cabinet is a matter of regret,
which may. however, at no distant date
be removed. The Standard says: mr..
Gladstone in forming his cabinet has made
the best of bad situation. The members
are men of undoubted ability. The selec-
ton of Earl ROseberry for the post Of sec
rotary of foreign affairs was the best that
could be made, and promises well for the
good will of Germany. The appointments
most likely to elicit criticism are those of
Sir William Vernon Harcourt and Mr.. John
Morley"

HOMELESS HUNGARIANS.
The Work of the Striking Coke
drawers Begins.
Some of the Miners Grimly Preparing
for Bloodshed.


CONNELLsvILLE, Penn, Feb. s.
Twenty of the striking miners of the
coke region were evicted from the houses
of )he company to-day. as their tenure
was under ironclad leases. A furious
snow storm was raging at the time.
They were not compelled to remain out
in the cold, however, being take in
by those who were not eyicted. The con-
ditiOn of a few of the eyicted families is
most pitiable, but in the main they are well
provided for, having been thrifty and laid
by considerable money. So far the sheriffs
of West Moreland and Fayette cOun-
ties in their duties have met with
no resistance. The evictiOns thus far have
been confined to the leaders in the strike,
few being singled out here and there from
the different works. The eyictions will be-
come general tomorrow. The Oper-
ators claim the backbone of the
strike is broken, and that be-
fore the evictiOns become general the
men will submit and return to work. The
miners and coke drawers are occupying
houses owned by the operators and say the
greatest trouble the COnnellsyille coke re-
gion ever witnessed has only commenced,
and before they will submit
BLOOD WILL FLOW.
No attempts have been made to evict any

region to-day Sheriff Sterling and his
deputies proceeded to the Valley works
near Scottsdale tonight. where they will
commence the work of eviction again
in the morning if the men in these works
do not resume. IL is not thought probable
that they will, and that the trouble will

trolls over half of the coke ovens

will not allow them TO mine coal enough
to keep them from freezing, thinking
by this means to force the men to work.
In some cases where the men have
torn down hog pens and coal houses for
fuel, suits were to be instituted againsl
them for damaging property. The de-
mand for coke is now great, and furnaces
and mills are shutting down all over the
country for want of ii.

king as BoREALIs and so charming q

AN EVIDENCE OF PROSPERITY.

AN EVIDENCE OF PROSPERITY.
That so many of our people have been
able 10 enter completely into the carnival
spirit bespeaks not only the liberality of St.
Paul business men in allowing employees the
time necessary for frequent appearance with
the different clubs, but also is an indication
of the prosperity which our city has been
enjoying at a time when other portions of
the country have been complaining of the
stringency of the times and the necessity for
the most rigid economy. Probably not
ess than 100000 have been expended in
various ways by the carnival clubs alone
and when the expenditures of the associa-
ton and OF individuals are taken into con-
sideration the sum will probably not fall
short of 500, 900. In the distribution, too,
of this sum all of the benefits accruing have
been kept at home. Hundreds of workmen
have been employed who might otherwise
have found the problem of existence during
the severest part of our Northwestern win
ter serious matter. In countless ways has
the city at large derived advantage from the
affair and will acquire still greater adyan-
tages before its conclusion. 1t has been
shown to the outside world that st. Paul is
not place where the inhabitants wrap
themselves up in their furs at the beginning
of cold weather and simply endure life until
the blooming of the springtime flowers, but
a city in which the people have the ability
as well as the inclination to transform the
very severity of their mueh-maglined eli
mate into means of enjoyment, if not of
nrofit i'm a nleaSinV sense If as a whole ST
Paul had not been enjoying marked pros
perity, the carnival could not have APP
preached the successful proportions which
it has already assumed; that it has done so
is sufficient telling of the whole story.

YESTERDAYS TRIUMPH.

Yesterday was proud day for St. Paul.
No citizen of the city could have witnessed
the imposing ceremonies without expert
encing sensation of pride. 1t was some
thing to be proud of. No more magnifi-
cent street parade was ever witnessed.
The gorgeousness of it was astonishing.
Even those who had i'll charge the prepare
ton of it were not prepared to witness
such turnout 1t was not only great in
respect to numbers, but there was
grandeur in the displays and
special features which has never
been surpassed in this country. New
York, New Orleans, or any other city. never
exceeded it. The Mardi Gras of the South
ern metropolis and the Yelled Prophet

Nor was the splendor of the evening cere-
monies less brilliant than those of the dav.
People who witnessed the spectacle felt
that they were carried back, not in imagin-
alton, but in reality. to 200 years ago
when the splendors of the court of
LOUIS XIV. dazzled the world. 1t was a
realistic mimicry of the glories of past
age, and was a scene which will long be
impressed upon the memories of those who
witnessed it,
