II must be a surprise to the Anglomani-
acs Of this country to read the congratula-
tions that the British papers are heaping
upon the newborn daughter of the Duke
and Duchess Of Fife, the latter of whom,
IL win be remembered, is daughter of the
Prince of Wales. Ii having been decided
by qualified authority that the child in
question must take rank from her ducaI
fathers line. rather than from that OF her
royal-blooded mother, the decision is
treated as one upon which she is to be
felicitated.
And in support of the reasonableness
and good win Of these congratulations, il
is pointed out that princess of the royal
blood is by reason of that distinction con-
demned to q social strait-jacket. She
must take part in public functions whether
thereto inclined or not, and often to the
sacrifice Of real pleasures. Ceremonious
restrictions are liable to cut off such an
one from the enjoyment of play and COM
partnership with children Of congenial dis
position and whose company she would
prefer and delight in.
Moreover, and worst of all, when these
restrained, cramped and joyless childhood
days are past, and she shall have reached
q manageable age. the mating of her for
life can take no account of her love, prefer.
ence or possible future enjoyment of the
marital relation, but as can affair OF
state" she may be mated with an obscure
scion of royalty, destitute of manhood or
moral character, whom she cannot admire
or respect and perhaps detests.
As simply an heiress of Fife, she must
also be subject to many social restrictions
will be denied absolute freedom in cheos-
ing companionship, either as child or
woman, but nevertheless will enjoy q far
wider range of liberty than could be per-
mitted to pent-up royalty.
1t is open to surmise that the popularity
of her mother, the Duchess, and the exsr.
tions and influence of that young lady
whose distaste for conventionaIities
In notorious, and to whom the restraints
of royalty have been excessively irksome
has had much to do with the decision Of
the question whether her daughter should
take rank from her side of the house OF
her husbands. But none the less will il
puzzle American tuft-hunters that mon
archists regard escape from the adiunctl
Of royalty as blessing.

OHIO TO-DAY.

Today and tomorrow are the dates fixed
for the session of the Republican State
Convention in Ohio. It opens a contest
which promises to have unusually far
reaching effects. II may materially affect
the presidential tickets to be nominated
by both parties next year, and the result Of
the presidential election.
Apparently the nomination of Major
Mckinley for governor is foregone con.
cIusion. Under ordinary conditions--a
square fight on national issues between the
Republican and Democratic parties, COM
pIicated only by the usual Prohibitionist
side-show-the nomination would be
equivalent TO election by rousing major
ity. But Ohio was largely represented in
the Peoples Party convention at Gin
cinnati, and 1t is impossible as yet to make
an estimate of the figure 1t will cut.
Like all new movements, there is no
reason to doubt that actual returns viii
greatly modify the .claims" that are made
In its behalf, and unless it shall draw
much more heavily from the Republicans
than from the Democrats, which there are
no grounds for believing, Major McKin-
Iey's chances win not be seriously affected.
The Republicans are united and confident.
and boldly challenge combat on McKin-
lev and the tariff. The Democrats are
divided and distracted, engaged in fac
fional contentious, and make confession
of weakness by insisting upon campaign
on estate issues" exclusively.
On the whole the outlook is favorable to
the success of the Republican state ticket.
Should 1t be decisive, and by an unex-
pectediy large majority, the result would
be TO give Mckinley high position in the
party and with the next Republican adj
ministration. For the next five months
political interest throughout the United
States will be largely concentrated upon
Ohio. A battle of giants is about to COM
mence in that state. Nav the best man
win. His name is William Mckinley.

Commenting on the Haitian massacre,
the st. Louis, Mo-, Republic, says: 'If
instead of rude and sudden emancipation,
a result of civil war, the American negro
had enjoyed the advantage of the training
of servitude through period of twenty or
thirty years of gradual emancipation, his
condition might have been higher" The
advantage of the training of servitude"
is good in its application to any case, but
applied TO man past middle age, and
graduated" through "a period of twenty
or thirty years" the educating effect could
not have been otherwise than exhilarat-
ing. Say what they will, the old Southern
notion as to the divinity of slavery still
survives with the older generation of that
section. 1t would be interesting to find a
negro who discovered anything rude" or
too sudden" in the manner of their eman-
cipation when il occurred, or who have
had occasion TO regret the denial, for 20 or
30 years longer. of the advantages of the
training Of servitude."

Ireland's new "plan OF campaign" is a
decidedly new departure. The Irish mem
bers of Parliament have been for the most
part men of little means, and, since there
is no governmental remuneration. they
have been paid salaries by their constitu-
ents for their representative work in Lon
don. Most of the constituencies are poor.
too, and the payment of the men,
bers has been drain upon the
people, so that now the bish-
ops of Ireland propose to have
the representation composed as largely as
possible of men of sufficient means to rem
der their payment unnecessary. The
hierarchy, so it is said, will endeavor to
give as much of Catholic fiavoring as
possible to the new members, so that there
will be new element in the British House
of Commons, and one whose influence will
make itself felt

THE MINING CoSvENrIoS.

There will meet tomorrow afternoon in
this city in response 70 an invitation from
the committee on mines and minerals OF
the Chamber Of Commerce. general con-
vention of the mining men of this state.
The purpose Of this meeting Is declared 70
be 10 consider the best means whereby
the mineral resources of this state may De
most economically, expeditionsiy ana sat
isfactorily developed. retaining within tne
state the largest per cent OF
the results of such industry. Also,
afford the greatest degree OF
announcement TO those now engaged In
prospecting and in mining. and IN gen.
eral way to inquire into the best means 10
aid and facilitate communication with all
sections of the mineral producing portions
of the state" tits not known how full the
representation will be. but the promoters
of the convention have faith that there
will be good attendance of mining men,
and that the convention viii result in
much practical benefit.
The PosT-ISTELLIGEScER has no great
faith in the efficacy of conventions as
means of industrial aid. As rule those
industries make greatest Roadway whose
promoters attend strictly TO business and
leave conventions alone. but it is possible
that some good may result from this meet
ing. The danger is that it will be meet
ing not of miners, but of those who have a
speculative interest in the undeveloped and
uncertain mining properties. There is dan
ger that an effort may be made TO create
mining boom to the end that a lot of pros
pect holes, here and there over the coun-
try. may be sold at large figures.
1t is believed that very rich mineral de-
posts exist in the Cascade mountains. but
as yet there is no demonstration of their
extent or value. 1t is quite certain that
many of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ''mines"
are utterly valueless. If the convention to
be held tomorrow should result in move
ment that would enable INSCRIPTIONS men
to dispose Of bogus properties to confding
investors, it would do legitimate mining
untold and irreparable damage, and we
want no mining boom here. What is
wanted is to continue the work Of pros
pecting in legitimate ways, to carefully
work upon the discoveries already made,
and TO develop mines instead of prospects.
The convention, if it wants to serve the
mining interests of the state. must devote
itself to questions of development, leaving
the mines to advertise themselves when
their value shall have been proved.
