No fault can be found with its destina-
ton this year on that score, however. forit
goes to Marie Henriette, queen OF the Bel
gians, whose virtue. pietY and superior
qualities of mind and heart are well known
to all the world. The queen was an Aus
TRAN archduchess, a niece of the Emperor
Francis Joseph, and married Prince Leo
pold, now king Of the Belgians, in 1858.
She is a woman of very versatile talents, a
good musician, performing well on both
the harp and piano, a clever painter, q good
Judge Of horsehesh and an expert equestri-
enne.
She is withal a woman of little preten-
sion and delights to travel about unknown
to those with whom she may chance to fall
in company. An amusing incident illus
trative of this was told during her stay at
Ostend q couple of years ago. The queen
and her daughter, the Princess Clementine,
were fond of hunting shells along the
strand. One day they thoughtlessly ex-
tended their search SO far that they were
forced to take a train in order to reach
home before dark. Entering the first COM
partment, they found it already occupied
by a buxom German woman and her u
band. A small dog which the princess car
ried in her arms aroused the ire OF the
woman, and she roundly abused the queen
and her daughter in German, expressed
doubts as to whether they had really bought
first class tickets, criticised their shabby
attire, and finally aounced out of the car
with the avowed intention of taking a cab
SO as to avoid the contamination Of such
vulgar company. The queen and princess
were both greatly amused.

A BRILLIANT RETORT.

A%fter-dfnner speaking is an art. and.
like many other Iarts, its excellence has
much to do with the mood of the artist.
Some of the best of our after-dinner
sneakers sometimes fail, but it is not
often that failure results in the enrich
mept of the worlds store of epigram. as
it did in the case of Lord Erskine many
years ago.
When Lord Erskine was made a mem

made an after-dInner speech on the oc-
casion of his first appearances among
them as q member. Upon his return he
said to a friend:

Opals are found imbedded in the rock
like raisins in a cake, only not ss plentiful
as most people prefer the fruit. They are
scattered about at haphazard and not ac-
cording Il any special plan. They are OBJ
tanned by blasting or breaking the rock
with q hammer, and great care must be
exercised lest they be shattered. Each
gem is inclosed In q stone matrix that must
be cut away before its beauty can be seen.
The entire district in Idaho where opals
are mined is designated 0paline In a gener-
81 way, though there are several distinct
camps. One of the most notable is Squaw
Creek camp, just over the ridge from Opal
inc. 1t is named from a creek that gushes
forth as a spring from the heart Of a noun
tain near by. Several valuable specimens
have been found there, and the claims are
fast being located by prospectors.

THE GOLDEN ROSE.


An Honor Conferred by the Pope Upon tine
Queen Of Belgium.
Every year on mid-Lent Sunday the pope
during high mass blesses with solemn cere-
mony the golden rose, amounting it with
chrism and fumigating ii with incense,
leaving it upon, the altar afterward until
the end of mass. Subsequently the rose is
sent to some eminent RS-son whom the
pope especially wishes t Easnor, usually
some particularly deyout Catholic sover-
eign, prince or princess. Last year it was
sent to Nine. Carnot, wife Of the French
president, and the queen regent OF Spain
received it the year before. Isabella II OF
Spain and Napoleon III both had it be
slowed upon them in their day, SO that its
common appellation, 'the golden rose OF
virtue,n does not seem especially approprl-
ata to the ordinary lay mind.

It All Depends.
Chicago, June 10, 1893.

The following from the FL Dorado OitG-
cen is true Of almost every locality in
Kansas:
We believe that there are people in this
city and county who claim to be prohibi-
tionists, and perhaps are, who would almost
rather have open saloons than have them
closed by any other than their own party.
We had a striking example Of this condi-
tion Of things but few days ago. A man
by the name of MsrriAeld was confined in
the city prison, having served out his SEN
tence for violating the prohibitory law, and
was being held to work out an additional
fine and costs. It had been his first ofense,
and there had been other mitigating cir
Cumstances connected with his case. There
appeared TO be q disposition on the part OF
the city administration TO bold the man in
prison for an indefinite length Of time, and
his friends circulated a petition 10 be pre-
sented TO the governor, asking for his par
don. The good people became indignant
that such thing should be thought Of. Peo-
pie rushed up and down the streets cirCu-
lAting and signing papers protesting against
the mans pardon. And we are satisfied that
scores Of these people were really disap-
pointed when the governor took them at
their word and refused TO grant the pardon.
In less than q week, these same people
signed petition asking the mayor to par
don the man, which he did. II the governor
had pardOned the man, he would have been
denounced by republicans all over the state
as being an enemy TO prohibition and in IA
Yor Of saloons.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-06-21

raves because guards arrest all who in
fringe upon the rules. A horticultural
chief was arrested for coming into the
grounds without q pass, and London
newspaper correspondent for photo
graphing scenes without permit. Over
these arrests the local journals nearly
went into spasms. Yet no sane man can
SEQ why London correspondent or
horticultural chief should be allowed to
violate rules any more than the hum
blest laborer.
The great cut in railway rates that
many looked for has not yet come, and
probably will not. President Fish, Of
the Illinois Central, said few days ago
that he saw no good reason for reducing
rates. "It will do Chicago no good, i" said
he. "If rates are reduced at one place,
they will be at another. People will not
stay in Chicago. They will see the fair
hurriedly, and then go on. Fasteners
will visit the mountains, and westerners
will 90 to the eastern sea board"
The disappointment Of some Of the Wis
itors who came during the past five
weeks has been great, sometimes pa
thetic. A man complained mornfully Of
the general incompleteness week or
more ago. He had come from Ireland.
He could not stay until the exhibits were
placed. He could not afford to come
again. He condemned the press for fail
ing to tell the truth about the backward
condition Of the fair.

The ADVOCATE doesn't seem TO see that it
is only showing that republican prophecies
are being fulfilled. The republicans warned
the people that the calamity howl would de-
stroy the credit Of the state and that VIC
tory for the Populists would cause capital
lists to withdraw their money from the state
as rapidly as possible and the ADVOCATES
"Presperity Column" shows that they are
doing 80. The POpulists denounCe the
money lenders as robbers and oppressors OF
the people, what more natural than that
they should pull out from the state con-
trolled by men 80 unfriendly to them?-
LevenwOrth Times.
It would seem that even Dan An
thony, hld0bound as he is, would be
ashamed to impose on his readers
such hackneyed nonsense as "with-
drawaI Of capital" ''loss of conf
dence" and ''state credit" If the
victory of the Populists has caused
the trouble, why is it so much worse
in some other states than in Kansas?
If it was the victory Of the Popullsts
this time, what was it caused the dis
sstrous crash of 1873 when the indus
tries of the whole country withered
under the influence Of a stringent
money msrket9 What has caused
numerous other less disastrous pan
les that you know Of, either by ex-
perience or history? The people are
getting tired Of the old stock Rrgu-
ment and explanations that have been
applied to these cases for SO many
years. Give them something new,
and while you are about it give them
something reasonable. Tell them
that we, as a nation, are at the mercy
of the vultures who have preyed upon
the industries Of the country ever
since the civil war, and whose ances-
tors have done the same thing in
other countries for centuries. There
is no way so sure to restore confidence
as to acknowledge the truth and
spread it abroad.

The Brooklyn Bridge is just ten years
old. The cities we're allowed to bald it
for themselves, as capitalists saw no
money in it. Fifteen thousand people
crossed it one day ten years ago. One
hundred and fifty Thousand crossed in
one day last week. It's promenade is
free. It's cable fare, reduced to two and
one half cents, provides a surplus reve-
nue. Of half million dollars. The bridge
will last q thousand years and cost the
people nothing. It is paying for itself
as fast as the bonds can be redeemed.
Capitalists are now ready to build two
more bridges, better and more costly
ones. They see money in it now. Do
the people see anythings-Twentieth

accustomed to dominion from the time
the state was admitted into the union,
they could not submit to the majority
without struggle. Their senate refused
20 appropriate money for the state ex-
hibit at the Worlds Fair unless they
could dictate who should be the Kansas
commissioners. Though their party had
met Waterloo at the preceding cleo
ton, they still insisted on having two, at
least, Of the three commissioners. Their
opponents demanded that the board con-
sist of Populist, democrat, and re-
publican. The attempt Of the minority
to govern did not succeed. But the leg
islative session ended without an appro-
priRtion. What msttered it to them IL
Kansas did not take her rightful place
in the front rank? They could lay the
blame on the Populists. They would dis
grace the state willingly, IL thereby they
could cast reflection on the new politi-
cal giant. Their acts were similar to
those Of o cook who believed that thir-
teen was o very unlucky number OF per-
SONS to have at table. Learning that he
was expected to cook for party Of thir-
teen, he protested vigorously. His efforts
were Of no avail. But he was deter
mined to show that thirteen was an un-
lucky number. To make it so, he
concealed dynamite in the turkey. In
carving, an explosion occurred which did
much injury. So the followers Of the g.
o. p. exerted themselves to prove the in
furious effect Of Populist supremacy. No
slander on the intelligence Of the people
was too infamous to be repeated. Two
more years rolled around. Another cleo
tion came. Again the drones and their
allies met the toilers. Again right re-
oeived the majority Of voters. But a
part Of the machinery Of the elections
was in the hands Of the unscrupulous.
They used it In favor Of the plutocrats.
They made certificates of election, no
matter how obtained, Of more cOnse-
quence than the greatest number otvotes.
The legislature was in muddle. With
the greatest difficulty, an appropriation
for the Kansas state exhibit was secured.
Nothing better indicates the marvel
ous energy Of KRnsanB than her display
at the greatest exposition the world has
ever seem. Other states got large appro-
riations, and got them long ago. Kan
sac had inDumerable obstacles to
vercome. They we're surmounted. A
choice site was secured. A competent
board was put in charge Of Kansas ex-
hibits. A fine building, one OF the larg-
est Of the state buildings, was erected. 1t
is admired by all. No state building
probably is visited by more people. 1t
stands near the northwest corner OF the
grounds. On the north is the Texas
building, south is that Of North Dakota,
opposite is Arkansas.
The Kansas building is in good order
It is ready for visitors. Many Of the
state buildings are not Few Of those
that are complete have such extensive
displays as Kansas. When you hear Of q
state exhibit that was finished long ago,
put it down that il is merely reception
room and contains no display Of the
states products. Iowa's display was
ready at the opening Of the fair. The
