Queen Victoria has been dabbling in
American real estate. IL seems that the
purchase of valuable piece of property in
Nassau street, New York, made about a
year ago by foreign banking house, was
an investment of Queen victoria's. The
Queen owns other real estate there, and
has purchased considerable land in the
west. Germany's royalty has large real
estate interests in New York, as also has
the King of Sweden and ex-Queen Isabella
of Spain. King Humbert OF Italy is re-

COM MPIAINTS.

A great many people complain lately of
unjust discrimination In the highway and
sewer departments In the matter Of hiring
laborers. They state that non residents
are given employment while residents and
taxpayers are peremptorily refused.
Possibly there may be some reason for
It, but under chapter 81 OF the city
ordinances, II the complaints are true,
and have half the foundation which those
who complain assert, they should be in
vestigated at once.
The ordinance referred to Is short and
we quote It In full. II is as follows:
"Tn the selection OF laborers for the
highway and sewer departments OF the
city government, preference shall in all
cases be given to those applicants who re-
side in the city, or who pay taxes as.
sessed upon property located in the city"
AS above stated, several complaints
have been made lately and the City Coun-
ell might be engaged upon less commen-
dsble work than investigating them.

VAN ALIEN.

1t is hard to find a paper In Rhode
Island that does not plainly show its dis
gust at the appointment OF Van Allen OF
Newport. The Telegram strongly says
"The mugwump apologists for Presi-
dent Cleveland, in their attempt to excuse
his nomination OF Mr.. j. j. Van Alien to
be ambassador to Italy, allege that the
President had no reason to believe Mr..
Van Allen was not the unanimous choice
OF the Rhode Island Democracy, as no OBJ
lection had been made to his nomination
by any Rhode Island Democrat.
"Fallacious arguments like this always
emanate from the mugwump mind when
it seeks to justify or excuse reprehensible
conduct, but they deceive nobody, not
even the mugwump himself. What has
been patent to the American 'pnblic ever
since the name Of Van Allen has been
mentio ned ought not to be unknown to
the President himsslf. Even il the Presl-
dent had not been aware OF the insult.
ableness OF Van Allen for any great pub
lie Office up to the time that English gem
tleman called upon him, he had no ex-
cuse left to him after that event. The
appearance Of the man, with or without
his monocle, should have brought with IL
the refutation that he represented any
thing or anybody dlstinctively American.
"Ii no objection had been made to Van
Aliens appointment by any Rhode Island
Democrat, It was because no Rhode ISL
and Democrat cared to humiliate himself
by vainly objecting in Washington. to an
appointment which the member OF the
National Democratic Committee from this
State favored and boasted would be made
as early as last March"

prolonged opposition to IL, and that he
thought IL could be soon brought to a
vote. AS TO the repeal itself, IL his asso-

measure Inch by inch, he would cheerfully
and cordially join with them. Mr.. Teller
asserted that he would resist by every
method, obstructive and otherwise, the
adoption OF . rule which would limit de-

AN UNTIMElY POLICY.

The law creating the Supervisors OF
Election is thoroughly bad law, and
one which the Demoor ratio party Is bound
to remove from the statute book at the
proper time. II is un. American, undemo-
cratic, unjust.
Like many other laws passed by the Re.
publicans In the insolence OF supremacy
and the lust for power, 1t is opposed to
the best interests OF the country and Is in
conflict with the rights and liberties OF
the people. One OF the most gratifying
features OF the Democratic victory OF last
year Is the fact that 1t promises the sweep.
ing away OF the iniquitous Davenport
statute.
Bnt Congress was not called togeth In
extra session to repeal the Republican
election law. The extraordinary session
was called to at once and Internationally
put stop to present evils by the immediat,
repeal OF the purchasing clause OF Senator
Sherman's silver law, regarded by tn,
whole business community rs the mair
cause OF the country's financial and bust
ness trout bles. 1t was called for practics
relief, not for political reform.
Action on the Election law and othe
pernicious statutes might have waited
and would have waited for the regular
session OF Congress. That would hav,
deem ample time for the consideration o
such subjects.
The National Legislature was convened

aged and honorable resident and busi-

Mrs. COpp is still on the sunny side
OF forty, and has made her reputation
within the last five wears. She en-
tered the Art Institute of Chicago IN.
1883, and, having previously dreamed
oil becoming painter, discovered OH a
brief trial that sculpture as her forte.
She took up the study OF modelling and
the kindred one of anatomy with in
tense enthusiasm and application, over
came the thousand and one difficulties
which confront the adult novice, and
With sacrifice of rest and comfort
bore OF the nonors of her class for
three successive years. In 1880 the
flrst and only medal ever given by the
institute for sculpture was awarded
Mrs. Copp. She had accomplished by
diDt of hard labor alone the routine
work OF ten years in three.
At the time of entering the institute
Mrs. Copp had been wife fourteen
years. She was the mother of five
children, four of whom had died in
childhood. Her early life had been
passed OH the prairies under the usual
trials of pioneer life.
The energy of Mrs. Copp'S nature may
be traced 10 her ancestry. She was de-
scended from the Scotch and German
races, and her fOrefathers on both sides
had taken part in the struggles of the
republic from the Revolution down.
After finishing her studies at the in
stitute Mrs. Copp opened a studio in
Chicago. She has modelled many por-
traits OF living people and also many
Ideal works. A statute in clay from her
hands is Oh exhibition in the Illinois
building. EDINE HOWARD.
