POY4J MARRIAGE GRANTS.

The approaching royal marriages in England
are preceded by practical business arrangements
for providing income and dowry. The Queens
children have been literally dealt with by
Parliament, a settlement having been proposed
by Ministers Of the day for each one in turn,
and no serious opposition having been offered
to the voting of the allowances. With the be-
trothal of the son and daughter of the Prince of
Wales a precedent will be established for the
maintenance Of another generation Of the Vic
toran line-the Queens numerous grandchil-
dren. Lord Salisbury is Tory nobleman loyal
to the traditions of royalty and to the interests
Of the privileged classes; but he is too saga
cious and prudent statesman TO commit him
self to the ordinary method Of procedure in
asking for marriage grants for the Queens
grandchildren lie has decided to refer the
matter to committee, which shall be en-
powered to determine the amounts to be pro-
posed as settlements for Prince Albert Victor
and Princess Louise.
If the Prince of Wales were King his chill
dren would theoretically be entitled to allow
ances on the same scale as those which the
Queens children have received. His oldest
son as heir to the throne would have pre-
eminence of rank, which would render neces-
sary an income and an establishment worthy
Of the dignity of the monarchy. His oldest
daughter would naturally fare as well as the
Queens daughters have done, and the settle
ments would be ordered without reference to
their uncles, their cousins and their aunts. But
with the Queen on the throne the Prince and
the Princess recently betrothed are two Of a
long and constantly increasing series of grand
children technically entitled to equal considera-
ton in financial matters. Parliament natural
ly will be cautious about establishing a prece-
dent that may involve an enormous increase of
national expenditures. The Radicals undoubt-
eddy will receive substantial support in opposing
grants which can properly be characterized as
extIavagant. Indeed. it is already apparent
that considerable royal lobbying will have to
be done before the young people can be pro-
vided with their marriage portions and incomes

lans decision to return was considered by the
Admiral an error of judgment, and at his own
request the Captain was relieved of his com

peace and good order there. our own Govern
ment has taken part which all Americans can

The rather disastrous experience of the Il st
Regiment in sham battle at the State Camp
last week is not to be repeated in the case of the

highly Of the sham battle as means of soldierly

men in the street riot drill. There is something
suggestively practical in teaching militiamen
how to deal with street mobs. Such duty is
clearly among the possibilities, although our
srnories and militia regiments are standing
menace to the potentially disorderly elements Of
society. IL is to be hoped, of course that no
emergency will compel our citizen soldiers to
face mob at the sar me time ii is important
that they know what to do on the spur of the

is the magic preserver of youth. :.

At certain time of year, the colleges
graduate many young women, who re-
ceive diplomas comforting upon them
such honor as they have earned. These
testimonials of scholarship and stand
ing are, says Woman's Journal, in a
good degree, proof that the bearer is q
valuable member of society, who will be
all the more useful on account Of her
college training.
The prisons graduate their convicts at
all times of the year. The fact that
they have served sentences in prison is,
in a good degree, proof that each man
who leaves the prison will not be val
liable member Of society. The State
deals with both these classes. 1t well

shape the government, to make the
laws, and to impress his personality up
on them. He may vote and be voted
for. AS far as his power goes, he can
help to secure laws that will be lenient
to criminals and to crime. The State
gives him the full rights of citizenship.
The State excludes from the body pol
itic the woman who is college gradu-
ate. 1t denies her right to help shape
the government or to help make the

Politically, she is held as perpetual

The Bible and the SABBATH.

Let US remember that the Puritan
Sabbath and the Bible gave US the dear
old Stars and Stripes. Independence
Day was not born in Sunday beer gar
den. The Christian religion is an es-
sential part Of our National life. What
ever shall weaken the power Of that re-
ligion will become fatal cause Of de-
generacy in our whole social and politi.
callife. Our future is not yet deter
mined. Elements Of discord and discon-
tent exist. But If we can sanctify this
unrest by imbuning it with ASPIRATIONS
for true Christian manhood; If the Bible
and the Sabbath can retain their old
place Of honor, we shall attain des-
tiny higher, cpurer and nobler than
earth has ever seen.-Rey. George s.

eight hundred logarithms. This year
eight students have elected the same
subject, and are reading Oppolzer in
French and German, since there Is no
English translation of the Bahnbestino-
mung. 1t is a study which young men
rarely undertake, except as they are
looking forward to careers as astrono-
mers. Let us have fair play, and let us
have the truth in regard to what women
have done and are doing. 1t is unjust
and unscientihc to maintain preju-
dice-born theories in spite of evidence.
An old cardinal refused to look into Gal
ileo's telescope from fear that he might
see Jupiter's moons: and the existence
OF such moons was contrary to Scrip
ture and to Aristotle. The cardinal Is
not without intellectual descendants to-
day; but the determination to disregard
facts does not alter facts. 1t is too late
to say that women can not learn Greek,
or mathematics, or science, or any
thing else that men learn, and he
who undertakes the defense of the
antiquated theories relating to the "fe-
male mind" has a prodigious difficulty
on hand. AS for the girls of Georgia, l
am 10th to believe that they are any less
able or ambitious than their sisters in
other States; and as one interested in
the great State of Georgia, l can not but
regret that she should retard
her own progress by refusing to
deal as justly by her daughters as
by her sons-for this, as it seems to me,
must be the result of the rejection Of
the bill to admit women to the State
University. The accommodating testi-
mony of history and science compels US
to believe that country can reach the
highest and truest prosperity only as 1t
makes the most out Of all Of its citizens,
the women as we'll as the men.
