A PRINCE ON THE STAND.
WALES A WITNESS IN THE
BACCARAT CASE.
Did He "Perjure Himself Like a
Gentleman" as on Former
Occasion, Is the question:
CuInIninH's Denial.

CulnIninE's Denial.
LUNDoN, June 2.-The famous baccarat
scandal trial, otherwise the action of Sir
William Gordon Cumming against Mr..
and Mrs. Lycett Green, Mr.. and Mrs. Ar.
thur Wilson and Berkeley Levett for
slander, commenced before Lord Chief
Justice Coleridge today in the Queens
bench division of Her Majcsty's high
court OF law. Long before the hour, II
a. M, fixed for the hearing the court
room was filled with crowds of fashiona-
BILE people who had been lucky enough to
Obtain one of the much coveted tickets
granting them the right to be present at
the long expected baccarat revelations.
lhe court room rescmbled scene of
some highly fashionable reception, rather
than the law court where an important
case was to be brought to trial. The first
tremor OF excitement was caused by the
arrival in the court room of Sir William
Gordon Cumming, plaintiff, accompa-
MED by his counsel.
The heir apparent entered the court
shortly after ] | o'clock, accompanied by
Sir Francs knollys, X. b. M. g., his pri-
vatc secretary. The prince and his sec
retary were escorted to seats especially
reserved for them on the bench at the left
hand of the lord chief justice. The ell
trance OF the Prince of Wales was the sig.
nal for court proceedings to commence.
No sooner was the prince seated than the
jury was sworn, and Lord Chief Justice
Colerldge, taking his seat on the bench,
and addressing Solicitor-G General Clarke,
the leading counsel for the plaintiff, said
IN substance that he desired that the
prince should be kept in court as short
time as possible, and lie, Lord Coleridgc,
hoped that his learned brother would
agree to arrange matters so that the
prince should not be detained any longer
than absolutely necessary.
To this solicitation Clarke calmly rel
piled that he could not say exactly when
the Prince of Wales would be called upon
to give lis testimony in the case, but he
begged to assure the lord chief Justice
that he desired most heartily to serve the
princes convenience so far as possible.
Sir Edward Clarke opened the case for
the plaintiff. When he had concluded
Cumming took the witness box. He en-
tered the box in cool, jaunty manner
and gave his version of the Tanby Croft
affair.
He answered the questions in clear
and well pitched voice and kept his back
turned toward the Prince of Wales. The
baronet concluded his testimony with a
solemn and impressive denial that he had
ever cheated at Tanby Croft OF anywhere
else.
LONDON, June 2.-ln the baccaret scan
dial case, after Sir w. G. Cumming had
finished his testimony the Prince of Wales
entered the witness box. He testified to
his acquaintance with the plaintiff and
said he saw nothing suspicious at Tanby
Croft.

The many friends and parishioners OF

with and commend the Birmingham

comment on Pastor Bryan, who was in
attendance on the general assembly in
that city:
But the most polished, and at the
same time the most impressive orator in
the assembly was Rev. w. S. p. BRYAN,
of Asheville, N, c. He is a thoroughly
Presbyterian looking man, and it does
not seem possible that he could ever have
been so much as suspected of a joke, but
he talks with an case and an earnestness
which carries to the hcarcr some of that
deep conviction which he seems himself
to possess"

The Senate Fixes April II as

But the House Must Agree
Before the Resolution

The Floodgates Open and a
Rush Of New Measures
EnSueS.

The senators are evidently becoming
very weary of the interest question
whether ii comes up in the shape of a
proposition to fix the rate of interest or
to prevent double taxation by means of
taxing mortgages, and accordingly it
did not require very lengthy arguments
to persuade the majority to suspend the
special order for a time yesterday
morning and allow the regular order TO
proceed briefly. When this was done
Senator Sanborn called up the following
resolution, moving its adoption:
Resolved by the senate. he house concur
ring. That this session of the legislature ad-
journ sine die at l. O'Clock noon on Friday,
the eth day of April. 1891. and that Wednes-
day, the 25th day of March, 1891 be fixed as
the last day at which bills can be introduced,
except upon approval and recommendation
OF the governor.
Gen. SanbOrn made brief speech in
favor of the resolution, saying that he
was of the opinion that less time would
be wasted if the senators understood
that they were to adjourn at set time
Senator Donnelly opposed the resolu-
ton, citing the vast amount of work yet
to be done. Senator McHale took the
same blew of the matter. The state. he
said, was entitled to the services of the
Legislators for the full time provided by
the constitution.
Senator Day took the ground that the
farmers wanted to go home and attend
to putting out their crops. Business
could be hurried and everything cleaned
up by the date set in the resolution.
The matter was finally put to vote and
the resolution adopted by "A yeas to IS
naYS divided as follows:

HOW MUCH TO HAVE.

Judge HOLMAN, of Indiana, has been
Ii useful member of congress for period
running far back. He has been known
as the great oblectOr where avenues to
the treasury were being opened. No
doubt he often got in the way of lauda-
BILE currents, but popular regard will
aOt be withheld for minor incidents
when millions have been saved to the
treasury by Individual watchfulness.
ut the Indiana statesman belongs to a
FACE not likely to be in favor with the
yuling fashions. He is quoted recently
r. bounding his ambition by $4,000 and
, horse and buggy. He named that as
lie pUrpOrt Of the ancient and
approved prayer to bestow neither
riches nor poverty. More than this
he would deem a burden and
carSe. His neighbOr over the Hi
noiS line, Congressman CANNON, was
drawn into the conversation. His aSsO-
riati0ns had been more intimate with
plutocracy, and he would place his ideal
Df financial felicity at 100000. Mr..
HOLMAN found issue with him in this
way: Nv hat are the hundreds of other
people who have to toll and struggle for
enough bread to eat going to do" he
asked, IF single individuals hold large
Fortunes OF upward of 100000 Every
Dne ambitious for wealth should think
Of that"
In the purview of the great castles of
the day that sort of estimation of the
proper standards of requirement stamps
HOLMAN as rustic politician. who was
well enough in the wiIdS of Indiana
forty or fifty years ago. Yet it is true
That people who have learned to live on
moderate fortune get more comfort
Dut of life than the men who have several
millions. The man who becomes consplc-
nous an account of his enormous fort
une has host of veXationS that others
Rre exempt from. He cannot absorb
more of the creature comforts of life
than the man of moderate possessions.
and, unless he has the sort of vanity
that delights in notOriety, life has no
greater value to him because of his sur
plus that he cannot use. The HoI-
MANS may have the old-fogy stamp.
but they are useful to think about in
contemplative moods. 1t is not neces-
sary to fix $4,000 as the limit of reason
able fortune, but it is quite rational to
believe that the well being of society
would be promoted by different dis
tributiOn Of the wealth of the country.

A USEFUL SCHEME.

While legislatures are looking about
for projects to promote industrial rela-
tions, the little experiment being made
in Ohio may be worth looking at. The
legislature two years ago made provision
for free employment agencies in the
principal cities. These were opened last
july in Cincinnati. Cleveland and Col
umbuS, and recent report from them
shows they have recorded 29,136 appli-
cations from those desiring employment
and Is, l54 places to be filled. The agen-
cies probably have not extended their
operations much outside of their imme-
date vicinity, but considerable work
has been effected in the time. The OBJ
Ject OF the system is mainly to aid the
unemployed. but as it is operated in
connection with the labor statistical
bureau OF the state. it can be made of
great service. both to the worllmen and
tdose needing help. A record can be
had of the character and skill of those
out of work. A sphere of usefulness is
easily seen for the scheme.

BISMARCK TO THE FORE.

Bismarck is running for the German
reichstag, bit of news that is calcul-
ated to make the Emperor Willie rather
nervouS.-Omaha World Herald.
Like Prince Bismarck, after going out
OF office, Sig. Crispi has lost his head
and found his mouth. His threats
against Sig. Imbriana recently were
slngularly uncalled for and disgraceful.
Beng out of Office Sig. Crispi proceeds
to show good cause why he should be
kept out. -Philadelphia Times.
Germany, too, is beginning to feel the
tax burdens which militarism has forced
upon her, as is shown by the protests in
the reichstag against the navy-cORstruc-
ton project of the emperor. In emer-
gencieS of this sort Bismarck used to
accomplish his purposes by getting up a
big war scare.
The stories that the kaiser's dissahs-
faction with Caprivi indicates the re-
turn of Bismarck are weak invention
of the BiSmarckian correspondents.
The young monarch has not imbibed
the theories of absolutism which Bis
marck taught, to eat humble pie now to
the old chancellor after the latter has
been making himself obnoxious to the
best of his very great ability. -PIttsburg
Times.
The report that Bismarck has been
asked to act as arbitrator in the Behring
sea dispute between this country and
England is evidently premature. At
present matters are not in condition for
arbitration, and hardly will be for some
Al.
trate is made there will be doubts of
Blsmarck's fitness for judge. An arbi-
traitor, to give perfect satisfaction. must
be friend of both parties to the dis
pute. He must have no supposed griev-
anceS to avenge upon either, and he
must not be interested in curryIng
favor with either.-PittSburg Dispatch.

WORLDS FAIR NEEDS.

The New York governor, having the
most to take in, has been the first to
reach for the distribution of the direct
tax. His share is over 81, 600, 600, a very
convenient sum for even a large state.
1t is suggested at Chicago that it might
be turned in to fair purposes, but it will
not be, of course. The state will not
even divert any of it to the erection of
the GRANT or SHERMAN monument.
But New YORK will appropriate lib
orally for its representation at the fair.
although it will have as little advantage
to accrue in the way of advertising its
attractions as almost any state. 1t is not
probable that any state will fail to be
somewhat represented at Chicago: but
Kansas and South Dakota in the West,
and Arkansas, and perhaps one
or two other states South. have
most unfortunately seemed to have
passed the opportunity for state
exhibits, unless special sessions of the
legislature are called to repair the blum
der. 1t is probable this will be done in
response to local sentiment and evident
need. Organizations of enterprlsing
citizens in each are already moving to
insure the representation of the state.
But the common veal and not individ-
ual advantage is involved, and no pri-
vate action can compensate for official
disregard of the opportunity. 1t is in
timated that South Dakota will raise
100000 by local and individual effort.
That would be none too much for useful
investment by state with such varied
ana vast resources, but reliance upon
the action of private parties and inter
ests will be found very un fortunate.
Kansas is mainly known for its freaks,
and the failure to make an appropria-
ton is one OF them.

AMONG THE FLOWERS.

1t was understood that there had been
a conclusion reached some time since as
to the national flower, though the men,
DRY WaSnot quite distinct as to whether
the golden rod, sunfOwer or what else
was the victor. With the opening of
the season that leads to floral beauty it
may be well to recall the facts. A
fragrant eXhalation comes from the
budding humanity of New York state
The school children were designated as
the arbiters last year, and the leading
favorites with them were the golden
rod, S1,30S; the rose, 1896, the rest
divided between 126 competitors. As
all absolute majority is needed for a
choice. new vote is being taken, to
close III July. 1t is pleasant and use
full contest, as it leads the children to
look up the varieties and study the
merits of the beauties of nature. The
fact that 12S flowers had supporters
shows how extensive has been the in
quiry among the 31S,O79 children voting
