An English woman Says He Works Hard
and Wants to He Loysd.
There has been so much fiction writ
ten about the Prince OF Wales that per-
haps the Woman's Cycle will make room
for little fact The best answer to the
unwarrantable and wickedly false SLAM
ders Ia the man in his own home at
Sandringham. The estate is q model for
all to copy. While others are preaching
and criticising, the Prince Of Wales has
been at work.
The Prince Of Wales took Sandring-
ham. wilderness, in 1861. 1t is now q
picture, a dream and poem. In 1870 he
began to reside there, and since then
the old huts have been torn down, pref
ty cottages have been put up, cottages
in the Gothic style, built with every
convenience, containing five or more
we'll ventilated rooms, Clubhouse and
garden. Every cottager has plenty OF
flowers and vegetables, and all compete
at the horticultural show every year,
where prizes are given for flowers, veg
etables, needls-work. cooking, and the
most clearly cottages, or best kept, or
prepared, or made domestic exhibit of
any kind. The Prince never has day
of less than sixteen hours labor, while the
cottagers leave of work at three o'clock
every day and have the rest Of the
time for recreation, their own garden
work, or reading. There is no case of
want; no liquor is sold on the place; If
wine or brandy is required in sickness
the vicar supplies it, and attends to each
case. No public house" is on or near
the estate. The villagers have club
house and library, where the news of
the day in papers and books can always
be read. There are refreshments-tea
and coffee, etc.-at a cheap rate. The
Prince is firm friend of workingmen's
clubs, and does not believe in liquor
saloons No trains are run to the estate
on Sunday, and all attend the church.
When the family is at home the Prince
and Princess and the household attend
twice day. i.s
The Prince and Princess are person
ally known to everybody in Sandring-
ham, and they and their families call
upon their neighbors. and are known as
being their personal friends.
Beside the village school there is a
training school, at which the hand Is
educated as we'll as the brain. In this
the Prince carries out his fathers idea,
who had all his children taught a trade
by which they could earn their living.
The Princess says it is her ambition
in life to mind her own business; the
Prince, that he wishes to be loved, and
more perfect gentleman or more cul-
tivated man and truer friend the century
has not produced. Grey, in
Woman's Cycle.

An Anecdote OF Napoleon, the Gar and

An Anecdote OF Napoleon, the Gar and
King of Prussia
The editor of Gil Bias, in his last is
sue, vouches for the truth Of this story:
Napoleon /. was entertaining the Gar
Alexander and the Prussian King at
breakfast in Tilsit when the converse
ton turned on loyalty.

the Gar. 80
"And mine are anxious to die for me-"
added Napoleon.
At the suggestion Of the Prussian
King test of devotion was agreed
upon. The royal party were breakfast
ing in the fifty story of building that
faced paved street. Each member was
to call in one Of his soldiers and COM
mand him to jump from the window.
Napoleon made the first test
"Call the Gardiste Marcau," he COM
manded, and Marcau appeared. ..
"Will you obey any order give your"
asked Napoleon. 'f.

"Blindly, whatever it is?'

And the Gardiste Marcau, with a mill
tary salute, walked to the window and
leaped out
''Call a private of the body guard"
ordered the Gar, whose turn came next.
The soldier came.

"Ivan Ivsnovitch." 3.
''Well, Ivan, Just throw yourself out
of that window"
'Yes, father, answered the guards

to come here" said the Prussian king
to his servant A six-foot uhlan, with

scar on his forehead, entered.

show their loyalty French and Rus

''Is 1t for the Fatherland?"

Gil Bias thinks this anecdote contains
q fne lesson for German army officers
OF the present.

THE PRACTICAL FEATURE

Recent court decisions in Kansas
sanction the new manufacture of the
bottle makers for the use of original
packages. These bottles hold a single
ration, and the judiciary asserts that
they are quite in keeping with the pre-
scriptiOn of the highest court. In por-
tons of the prohibitory states, where
there has not been unObstructed sale,
this latitude is being taken advantage
Of in the opening of original package
shops. From these states anxious in
quiry is being made as to what has be-
come of that bill that went through the
senate with rush and was supposed to
be certain to pass the other house with
no delay. 1t is in the hands of the
Judiciary committee, and that body
seems to have dropped it into a pigeon
hole in order to look at the result as it
may affect practical politics. They find
serious embarrassment. If it is not
passed the prohibitionists in Iowa and
elsewhere cannot be kept in line. They
will let the party get along without
them and go hopeleSsly into the soup.
Not to pass it threatens to ruin the party
in Iowa and lose most of the congress
men. If it is passed the three congress
men elected by the Germans in st.
Louis will go over the breastworks. and
in other states there will be serious de-
lection. The German paper at st. Louis
that reflects most of the German feel
ing says that if the bill passes and be-
party abdicates." The situation is full
of trouble for the party managers, and
1t will not be surprising if the commit
tee finds that it initiates a dangerous
departure from the central potency.

THE WORLDS FAIR SITE.

The Chicago people are making a
holy show of themselves in their fight
over site for the worlds fair, and I'M
less they soon put stop to the wrangle
they will suffer most seriously for their
bad manners. Ii the impression once
gets abroad that the exposition is to be
utilized exclusively as an advertisement
for local speculation, then farewell to
the glory of the enterprise. Exhibitors
will decline to have anything to do with
the concern, and when the fair opens it
will be but little more than glittering
exhibition Of vacant space. While a
great deal depends on local enterprise
to make the fair an eminent success,
the Institution is i'll no sense local
concern. There are really but two
points to be considered in selecting
site. One is to have the exposition
located on the lake front, and the other
to have it within easy reach of the prin-
cipal hotels and depots. This is the
way every outsider is impressed. and as
consequence it is absolutely disgust
ing to all outside of Chicago to be listen
ing to the quarrelling factions, all of
whom are interested in some real estate
speculation.
Chicago has now the one opportunity
of its existence to make name for it
self, and if this opportunity is wasted it
will never have another one. The West
was practically unanimous In its demand
for the location of the worlds fair at
Chicago, and every Western man has a
pride in making the exposition mag
nificent success. If our wishes III this
respect are thwarted by local greed and
the mania for speculation, the Western
people will never again pin their faith
to Chicago enterprise. There ought to
be enough public-spirited citizens in
Chicago to take the bull by the horns
and settle this quarrel over fair site
before the city falls into such general
discredit that the enterprise will be
voted failure in advance of the time
foropening. We have said this much
in a spirit of kindness. and with the
hope that our Chicago friends will be
enabled to see themselves as others are
seeing them.

TIME TO RETALIATE.
England May Shut Out American
Products From Her Markets..

LONDON, June 20.-In the house of
commons this evening Howard Vincent
asked if the government would require
America to modify the duties upon
British products before modifying the
rules governing the importation of cat
tie into Great Britain. Sir James Fer
gusson explained that the restrictions
upon cattle imports into Great Britain
were based solely OH sanitary considera-
tions, without regard to the fiscal syS-
TENS of other nations. Mr.. Vincent
thereupOn laid upon the house table
notice of motion that, as the Ameri-
can tariffs will infiict great injury upon
the trade of Sheffield and upon British
traders and artisans generally, the
house consider whether free mar
ket ought to be longer given to
the competing products of for
eign state which puts a prohibit
DRY tariff on British goods. w. h.
Smith announced that, instead of NOV
Ing a resolution continuing bills from
session to session, he had adopted the
suggestion of Mr.. Gladstone, that sec
ond committee be appointed to inquire
by what means the passage of the meas
ureS may be facilitated i'll the ensuing
session. Home Secretary Matthews, in
his statement announcing the appoint
ment of Sir Edward Bradford to the Of
flee of chief commissioner of the metro
poIitan police, said that Sir Edward had
been for many years in the Madras
army and a resident of Rajpootana. T.
P. O'Connor asked: HAS he ever been
in charge of any English police force?
Haven't his services been always
among the Asiatics% Mr.. Matthews
said that while in Rajpootana Sir
Edward had commanded the police.

How We Are Taxed.

The American Economist, the organ
of the Chinese wall tariffites, insists
that farmers should, as far as posi-
BILE, diversity their products, and de-
velop their raw material into more per-
fected FORMS" In illustration it shows
that bushel of corn delivered at the
seaboard is worth only so cents, whereas
if it is converted into twelve and half
pounds of pork it will be worth S1.25, or
into twenty-three pounds of starch it
will bring S1.3S, or into four gallons of
whisky it will realize Sc. cit is true"
says this high tariff organ, ''that the
cost to the consumer and value of the
resultant four gallons of whisky is
sweIled by the internal revenue tax Of
90 cents per gallon. or $500 for the four
gallons, but if the pledges of the pres
ent party in power before election are
fulfilled, that condition will soon re-
main only as matter of history" The
/ lesson of this statement by the Ameri-
can Economist is that instead of ship
ping so cents worth of corn to the sea-
board, farmers should convert it into Sc
worth of whisky. Then, the Cleveland
Plain Dealer thinks, the home market
theory will come into play, and to carry
it to it's logical conclusion the farmer
will get drunk On his own whisky, and
so forget the mortgage on his corn field.
As an offset to the wool growers as

in Boston a wool consumers aSsocia-
ton, which has just sent out circular
Signed by eighteen of the largest manu-
/ featuring companies and firms in New
England, and asking the cooperation of
? all manufacturers and dealers in wool
Fin protest against any increase in the
present duties ON wool and in favor of a
reduction on the same. The evident
object of this new association is to
neutralize the influence of the wool
growers association, which has for a
long time been the most arrogant and
uncompromising of the beneficiaries of
protection. The logical result of the
demands made in the circular will be
the abolition of all duties on wool and
also of all duties on wooden goods, and
this the manufacturing companies and
firms that signed the circular of the as
ISOLATION are prepared to face. 1t is a
very significant proof Of the break
down Of the protection sentiment in
what has heretofore been one of the
citadels, namely, New England.

A BROKEN REED.

Speaker REED is man who dug a pit
and fell into it. Possibly it didn't occur
to him, when he persuaded the Republi-
can house to adopt cast iron rules to
keep the Democratic minority in vassal-
age, that the Republicans might become
the minority party through the defec-
ton of courageous and conscientious
members of that party who would pre-
fer to act with tile Democrats rather
than the public interests should be
sacrificed on the altar of an autocrat's
ambition. For the last two days Doctor
REED has been compelled to take his
own medicine, and it is making him
quite sick. He is being thwarted
at every move in his endeavor
to bury the senate silver bill out of
sight. The free coinage men appar-
emily have grip on the house, and it is
more likely to be the speaker than the
bill that will be buried.
Regardless of Individual views on the
silver bill, all the country will be pleased
to see Speaker REED made to realize
that chickens will come home to roost.
He now understands, better than he did
a few months ago, the danger of confer
ring unlimited power upon the majority
anG of restricting the rights of the mi
nority.

ROssEs GOING.

Boss REED, even, had partial check
in his autocratic role in the house, in
the reference of the silver hill, and there
are other indications that his methods
are becoming unpopular. The boss bust
ness has been overdone, and there are
symptoms of reaction. Boss QUAY is
losing his hold both in the senate and in
Pennsylvania. His fellow partisans
are growing chilly toward him. 1t will
be remembered that in the election of
an officer of the senate, the other day,
they threw QUAY'S man overheard. and
left him no reason to doubt that they
meant to snub him. In the hot contest
in his st ate for the Republican nomi-
nation for governor, the man supposed
to be favored by QUAY is bitterly as
sailed as QuAY's man, and his nomi-
nation will cause revolt in the party.
He does not dare to show an open hand.
His influence can hardly be prevalent
except to lead the party to defeat. In
New York, Boss PLATT has just been
blackballed by a Republican club. The
boss is evidently going.

A FRUITLEss ARGUMENT.

Possibly there has never been great
er waste of literary ability and of argu-
mentative power than in that one-page
editorial in the Pioneer Press yester-
day, which undertook to demonstrate
that free trade and tariff reform were
cardinal principles of Republicanism.
1t reminded one of the wasted labor OF
the man who tried to lift himself by MS
boot straps. The best place to go for
Republican tariff doctriue is the party
platform and the party record. The ex-
listing high tariff is the offspring OF the
Republican party. The Chicago plat
form declared unequivocally for 1.-THE
American system of protection" ana
the man who wrote the platform
is the author of the bill now before
congress, which is fair interpre-
tation of the Republican doctrine on
that subject. 1t is just as easy to DEM
onstrate that the moon is made of green
cheese as to prove that the Republican
party has ever been, or ever Will De,
anything else than high tariff party.
The man who processes to think other
wise must be an awfully gulllble fell
low, or he is trying to play on the ere
dulity of others. sThere isn't ten-year-
old sehoolboy but could tell off-hand
how the political parties stand on the
tariff question. The person who is
tariff reformer and tries to persuade
himself that his theories are consistent
with Republican principles, has read
the history of this country backwards.
The Republican who is ashamed of his
party's position ON the tariff ought to
have the honesty to quit his party and
fall in with those who are sincere in
their tariff reform professions.
