THE PRINCESS INCoG.

EULALIA shows that she has come to
this country to throw off restraints and
have good time. She is far more anx-
ious to fall into our democratic ways
than to be surrounded by Spanish
court composed of American, apes. She
has given our snubS to understand that
she is not mere to amuSe tuft hunters,
but to amuse berself in the American
fashion. She upset the stately plans
for her entertainment in Chicago by
starting out incog to ramble about the
fair grounds, and see and ems
JOY everything without exciting at
tention. She strolled through the
plaisance to see the representations of
the nations of the earth. and talked
with the peaSantry as familiarly as
though one of their number. She saw
much that greatly amused her, and
opened her throat and laughed with
the freedom of school girl. She en-
tered the Chinese theater, and enjoyed
the funny performances. In all her
tramp not a soul suspected that the
woman who was jostling about in the
crowds, talking and laughing so heart
lily, was princess of Spain. She pro-
poses to lunch at the White Horse inn,
a plebeian restaurant located near the
Dutch wind mill; and she will enjoy
the meal more than the SWEETEST dinner
which could be given her.
In all this the princess has conducted
herself becomingly, eXhi biting no
coarseness; and she has endeared her
self to true Americans. Her eXa mple
has done good thing for the fair. She
has made it fashionable for Americans
to go through the plaisance incog, and
before they see anything else. But for
what she has done thousands of people
would have visited the fair to look
little while about the fine arts building,
glance at the machinery, into one or
two state buildings, and go away with
the feeling that the Columbian is not a
great show. They will now go through
everything to be seen, and go away
with full appreciation of the wonder
fnl accomplishment of Chicago.
EULALIA has accomplished good
work through our procIivity for ape
ling.

STRANGE SITUATION.

The report of the comptroller to the
conference committee shows one of two
things to be true-either our depart
ments are eXtravagant or their funds
are too small 10 meet the requirements.
The report is showing of the first five
months of the fiscal year, and it is made
to appear that at the rate four of the de-
partments are drawing upon their funds
they will fall far short of having enough
money to last them to the end of the
year. The fire department will fall
S19,631 short; the police department,
S15,480 short; the court house and city
hall maintenance, 81, ,937, and the health
department, 81, ,O72 short. The comptroller
aIso@eported that the tax levy would
fall considerably short of what was an
ticipated. owing to blunder of the as
SCISSOR, as he said. but more likely ow-
ing to the fact that the board of abate-
ment Topped off over S1,000,000 of the
assessment. However, it matters not
how the assessment comes to fall short,
or whether the four departments are eX-
travagant, or whether their allowance
is insufficient, the fact remains that
\ these funds are not elastic, and the de-
partments must run their affairs so as
to keep inside the funds. If the gen.
eral fund were overhowing with money
not dollar of it could be taken to help
out these departments.
1t may be that the funds are insult
ficient to meet the proper demands of
the departments; but, if it be true that
they are, these departments have oper-
ated two years under the charter allow
ances, and knew full we'll that they
must run close to the wind; yet the fire
department has expended over $1,000
more in the first five months of this
year than in the first five months of last
year. and last year it fell $4,000 short
of having enough money to last the year
out.
Certificates of Indebtedness can be
issued for only so per cent Of each fund
estimate, hence no relief can come
through that source. The four depart
mentS must come down to the most
economical basis, and if it be necessary
to close some OF the fire stations. why it
must be done.
1t must be quite apparent to most of
the public by this time that st. Paul is
in need of some genuine reform. If
the allowances to this department are
too small, they should be increased;
but they should not be increased if they
are sufficient with the practice of rea-
sonable economy.

A HALFWAY HOUSE.

Postmaster General BISSELE is credit
ed with expressing wish that some
way might be devised by which the pat
rons of the smaller, the fourth-class post
offices, might choose their postmasterS,
and thus relieve the department of the
pressure and annoyance to which it is
ow unavoidably subjected, and from
which it has sought relief in declaring
that it will make no changes until the
incumbents. appointed theoretically
during good behavior, have served four
years.
In the absence of any machinery
under the control of the federal govern
meuJ by which the postmaster generals
wish might be given effect, and in the
absence of any provision in the state
laws, it seems impossible to devise any
means for the selection of postmasters
by all the patrons of an Office iIreSpect-
i've of parties, nor is it probable that
partisan opinion in any party has yet
reached that point where any .act to
provide such method could be passed.
But the GLOBE suggests to Mr.. Bis
SELL that he has means in his own
hands of relieving himself from nine
tentbs of the work of filling these offices,
and one that is eminently fair and DEM
ocratic. 1t is at best only halfway
house, but it lies in the right direction
and will be decided Improvement over
the methods now generally in vogue
The GLOBE has suggested it heretofore,
and subsequent reflection has butserved
to confirm its opinion of the practicable
ity and advantage of the plan. That is
to remit the choice of the postmaster to
the Democratic patrons of the Office to
be determined by an election. reserving

over the door of the Pickwick club
rooms were the stars and stripes

were laid for sixteen persons, the
number in the infanta's party. The
table decorations were modest. but the
heavy furnishings of the club room
gave it an aristocratic air. The party
arrived about II O'Clock, were shown to
the historic Pickwick rooms, later being
escorted to the breakfast room. AT the
conclusion Of the breakfast Eulalia and
suite went out for another sightseeing
tour through the grounds.

Some of the Republican organs. not

into the belief that the adoption of this

The editorial just quoted was pub

character ard competency of the person

thus chosen.
If Mr.. BISSELL were to Formulate
plan embracing the features here sug-
gested and send it to the state commit
tees with the intimation that his depart
ment is disposed to give preference to
applicants chosen by this method, he
would be surprised at the avidity with
which the committees, now pestered to
death by applicants for their indorse-
ments. would grasp at it. Briefly, the re-
quirements would be the preparation
by the chairman of the county commit
tee in conjunction with the local COM
mittee of poll of the Democrats getting
their mall at the Office for which post
master was to be chosen; the sitting, on
day duly noticed. of the committee to
hear objections to the poll, and its cor
rection; ample notice by the committee
OF the day and place of voting; the su-
peryision of it by judges. and the check
ing of votes by the clerk on the list; the
use of the booth by the voter: the GER
tihcation of the result by the officers,
and also by the chairman of the county
committee as to the fair conduct OF the
election. The expenses should be borne
by the candidates.
1t has been objected that this method
would lose to the party worker, the man
who gives of his time and money, his
fitting recognition, and that some indif-
ferent person who was popular might
get the office. Admitting that this
might occasionally happen. it could not
be the rule, and 1t may we'll be urged
that in the relief from discomfort, the
elimination of bossism. either actual or
imagined. and in the feeling it would
give every local Democrat that he was a
part of the party in the distribution of
the offices, as well as a part in the vot-
ing, there would be a compensation
vastly outweighing the diSappointments
it might cause. There have been sew
eral such elections in this state which
resulted satisfactorily, and in one in

lied one to be held under the regula-
tions above given. The GLOBE submits

UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE.
1t Will Be the English-The Ques-
tion Already Settled.


Philadelphia Public Ledger
The Germans not only lock upon their
language as an integral and essential
part of the national life, but the more
cultivated classes revere it with an al
most idolatrous yeneration. Notwith-
standing the difficulties presented by its
indistinct and Grabbed style, its intri-
cate and half-illegible script. its arbi-
trary genders. its highly artificial inf1ec-
tional system. .and its illogical syntax, its
study is extolled not only as means of
mental culture and discipline, but as an
impulse to originality of thought and
expression. These facts render all the
more noteworthy the leading article in
the April number, just issued, of Prof.
Hans Delbruck'S "Preussiche .Jahr-
bacher," perhaps the most prominent
of,German literary reviews. 1t is from
the pen of DR.. A. Schroer, professor of
philosophy at the University of Fret
burg, and its subject is the Importance
Oft introducing into the schools the
study Of universal language (Welt-
sprache).
slThe writer begins by condemning all
attempts. however scientific, to con-
struct an artihcial language, like VoIa-
puk. No language which possesses
ments, nor linguistic relations can ever
serve as a medium of general comnuni-
cation, for the reason that no one will
take the trouble to acquire it merely as
tool of trade" until it becomes uni
versal; therefore it never can become
universal. Such attempts, how
ever, are not only idle and aim
ess, because they can never obtain
he general consent of mankind, but
they are useless, for, says Prof. Schroer,
there exists already a universal Ian
guage-i. e., a language which, by its
spread over the whole earth, and by the
ease with which it may be learned, has
already gained such long step in ad-
vance that neither natural nor artificial
means can deprive it of its assured posi-
ton as the future medium of interna-
tionaI intercourse. Ahd this language
is the English.
