STAINS QUEEN-REGENT.
She Is Extremely Popular Simply Because
 She Tells No TalsehoOds.

She Is Extremely Popular Simply Because She Tells No FalsehoOds.
 A prominent Spanish statesman was asked the other day to what he attrib- uted the strange fact that a woman, and foreigner, held the reins of govern mont successfully in her hands in a country so undermined as Spain by po- litical intrigue. '"The marvel, if marvel there be-" was the reply, ''can be ex- plained in the simplest manner:
 '"The Queen maintains her position because she is the exact opposite of an intriguing and conspiring woman. She tells no falsehoods, has nothing of the hypocrite about her, is as simple and modest as she is honest, and there is mo- body in Spain who is not convinced that she tries to do her best for the country. The Queens popularity especially with the women of Spain-is a real power which gives her much of the hold which she has over her subjects. Natural tact, intelligence and kindness are also among the weapons by which Queen Christine maintains her position.
 | "Like your own Queen, the Queen Regent of Spain has worn mourning ever since the death of her consort, and only quite lately has she begun to wear jewelry on state occasions. In public the Queen, who is thirty-one years old, appears only with her son, the little King, with whom she takes drives in the neighborhood of Madrid. The Queens two daughters, aged six and seven respectively, talk Spanish, French, German and English f1uently, and are both very strong and healthy looking children. Since it has become known that the Queen calls Alphonso XIII. 'Bubi,' in memory of her Austrian home, Spanish ladies have begun to call their children by the name, which-ignorant of it's real derivation from bube, boy they trace back to the English term, baby, or more ingeniously, from pup lpy.' .'"-Pall Mall Gazette.

toned I'm the new bill, and there are a.
verse opinions as TO what effect this
silence may have; IL may have the effect
of admitting them duty free. or of keep
ing duties at the old rates; but ID does
not seem possible that IL can have the
effect of increasing duties. Several
large manufacturers and dealers have
assured the people, through the columns
OF the Inter ocean. that there will be no
increase OF prices on account of the new
tariff. Certainly there is no increase as
yet, nor is there the slightest ground for
any immediate increase.
As To pearl buttons, the eminent firm
OF Marshall Field ~ Co. talked thus TO a
reporter:
/. a line button measure OF one-fortieth
Of an inch is the standard of measure
ment used in determining the size Of
buttons
.. One gross Q4i) buttons of, say
twenty lines would pay duty of (2OX9}9)
so cents per gross, and an additional
duty OF % per cent ad yalorem.
The present duty is practically pro-
hibition. No pearl button factory Of
any size has heretofore existed in
America. Marshall Field 81 Co. say
they use more buttons each year than
are manufactured in the whole country.
Since the adoption OF the Mckinley bill
they are Informed OF various new fac
tories but have not as yet received sam
pies of their production. The present
tariff has also had the effect of
producing two substitutes for the inn
ported Austrian pearl button. These
are a nickel button which meets every
requirement and is infinitely more dur
able and costs about the same as the
pearl button under the old tariff. The
other is vegetable ivory, which is also
superior to the pearl and costs a triile
more.
The great advantage possessed by n
pearl button over the celluloid and bone
buttons has been that it would pass
through a wringer and not break and
also withstand heat. The celluloid melts
on the application of hot iron, and the
bone is too brittle to pass through a
wringCr. The new nickel and vegetable
ivory buttons stand both tests, and will
prove in every wise materially superior
to the pearl.

A New Complication.

The Massachusetts politicians were
Obliged TO figure on new complication
at this election. 1t is law passed last
winter requiring every candidate for Of
flee to file an itemiZed statement "show-
ing in detail all the moneys contributed
or expended by him, directly or indi-
rectly, by himself or through any other
person i'm aid Of his election"
That would be little awkward in
some cases, but the law is not yet strong
enough TO prevent the use of money.
The candidates must make this statement
within ten days after the election. There
is nothing i'm the statute requiring man
TO make public any intention he may
have for reimburSing friend for eX-
pense money kindly advanced during
the heat OF conflict, or of whacking up a
specified sum TO his county or state CEN
trail committee Immediately after the
statement has been filed.
The intention of the law is good, but
like n great many other good laws, it is
found to be practically dead letter.

HOME AND FOREIGN PRODUCTS
TSt. Louis Globe-Democratl


The campaign just closed has had a
good effect in the way Of calling popular
attention to the fact that we are not de-
pendent upon foreign countries for
nearly so many products as the enemies
of protection would like To make it APP
pear. If the average citizen will think
a moment about the articles that he is
in tho habit OF buying, he can see that
very few Of them are imported. Under
the impulse given by the present tariff
system, manufactures have been estab-
lished which are really supplying us
with about everything that we need.
There are things like sugar, tea
and coffee that we are obliged to send
abroad for, hut in the line of manu-
featured goods we are practically inde-
pendent Of the rest Of the world There
is no necessity for the majority Of the
people 10 purchase products upon which
duties are imposed. They can get all
that they require for general subsistence
and convenience in the list of domestic
products that the tariff does not touch.
That is what they are doing all the
time Clothing, furniture, carpets,
hardware, and most other indispensable
articles, are all produced here, of good
quality and at low prices, and the
man who nuys foreign goods in prefer
ence has ouly himself to blame if the
tariff thereon is burden to him. II is
possible for Iiue people out OF ten 10
escape the tariff entirely, in other words,
and yet not dispense with any of the or
binary comforts Of life.
This aspect of the matter deserves FAR
more consideration than it usually re-
ceiyes. The most of the talk about tar
if cXactions is pure assumption and de-
ception. This form of taxation is the
easiest to bear that could be devised, as
the case now stands. The amount of for
eign produce in common use is not large
/enough 10 justify any such clamor
\'as has been raised this year
\about the duties levied upon them.
If we do not want 10 pay for
imported goods, the privilege Of buying
domestic articles suitable for every pur-
pose is always present. In many in
stances the home product is the better
of the two. and in all instances it is good
enough. We buy numerous things that
bear European labels when in fact they
are made in this country; and it is our
own fault that we are thus imposed
upon. The dealers provide what their
customers prefer, and If we choose to
demand a foreign brand when the do
nestle article is quite as desir-
able, we must expect TO have
the latter sold TO us under false pre-
tense at an eXorbitant price. ANY
honest merchant will tell you that so far
as all goods of general consumption are
concerned, this country produces them
of sufficient excellence and in ample
measure. II we insist upon having the
foreign article simply because it is foreign,
and not because it has any greater intrin-
4 sic value, then we must pay the increased
price, of course; but the necessity for
that sort of thing is limited, and the
tariff question should be discussed with
this important fact always in sight.

Marquette married Kate German and
gang of the groom's friends went around
to do the serenade act with fish horns, cow
bells, banps and the like. The groom
stood IL until they struck up Annie

The father of the bride slugged the lead
er of the band while the groom kicked
the bass drummer until he yelled and
fled. The rest of the gang mosied at
once.
Mr.. JOS. YENIcK, of Traverse City,
an old gentleman almost blind and al
most childish, straycd from home and
all efforts to find him have so far failed.
