The year 1898 would be conspicuous in
history because 1t is the Columbian EXPOSE
ton year. even if 1t were not for other

ing point for the memory. The year wit
messed the peaceful settlement by arbitra-
ton Of the Boring Sea dispute. In England
much progress has been made towards Sc
curing an extension of suffrage and the es-
Enlistment of Home Rule for Ireland
Within a few months the Hawaiian queen
has been dethroned and a provisional gov
eminent established in the islands by the
people to whom a continuance of a rule
based upon degradation and profligacy had
become uncomfortable. The appeal to Amer
lea for annextion has not yet received a
final answer, though the sentiment of the
American people in favor OF supporting the
existing government of Hawaii at least to
the extent of not interfering with 1t has
been manifested in marked manner by the
general disapproval OF the course the ad-
ministration was deluded into adopting. con-
templating the restoration OF the deposed
queen. In many foreign lands there has
been political and social disquiet. There
has been rebellion in Brazil. and this ac-
count will be carried over to the books of
the new year. A war has been waged in
South Africa by the South African COM
psny which has resulted in opening the rich
neldS OF Matabeleland to settlement
France has made territorial acquisitions in

Cholera went over its course in Europe as
in the preceding year, but fortunately was
kept from our shores. The great charac-
teristtc Of the year, however, has been the
universally felt hard times. In every land
business has been depressed, industries have
been suspended, and a. q result much dis
tress has been reported. 1t Is believed the
new year will witness q return Of general
prosperity. Our own land has not escaped
the distress that seems to have been the
portion of the whole world. Other memoir
able events, however. have occurred during
the year. The Worlds Fair was opened and
continued six months, attaining q success
that has had no parallel. The incoming Of
a democratic administration. the repeal of
the silver law and the initiation Of legisla-
ton on the lines Of tariff reform have been
the chief events Of national politics. During
the sad events Of the year must be recorded
a visitation Of yellow fever in towns in
Georgia and Florida. The plague. however,
was confined to small limits by the efficient
action Of the government. The year has
seen progress in science and has contributed
its full share to the literature Of the CEN
fury. After all, though its history may
chronicle many deplorable events. there is
much in the record Of 1893 to be thankful
for, and to indicate that the world Is keep
ing steadily on its way towards the highest
civilization.

The verdict Of the jury in the case of
Prendergast, the assassin of Mayor Harri-
son. was not at all a surprise It may be
said to have been generally expected, and to
have given general satisfaction to all ex-
cept Prendergast. The chief blot upon our
legal and judicial systems has been the de-
lays and sometimes utter failure of Justice
In cases Of this kind. The Chicago jury
was prompt and, It Is to be hoped that no
merely technical controversies will be in
terposed. The law Of our country recog-
nizes hanging as the punishment for MUIR
der, and while that law exists, the quicker
the punishment is applied the more effective
1t will be in deterring others from the COM
mission of similar crimes The many months
of notoriety that some celebrated criminals
are permitted to enjoy and the mawkish
sentiment enlisted in their behalf, even II
justice is done at last. serve only to offer
a premium on crime, in the minds of MUIR
derous cranks.

The Post Office Department has given no.
tice to the country that the Columbian
stamps must go-that is they must all be
sold before new stamps of normal size will
be issued in their place. The stamps are
on hand and the government is much in
the position of the western hotel keeper
who. 1t is said, had large supply of hash
on hand and compelled his guests at the

An interesting commentary on the posi-
bilities Of international marriages Is fur
nished by the suit for separation brought
by the stepdaughter Of John w. Mackay
against her husband, Prince Colonna. So
many cases of q similar character have
been brought before the public in the past
few years that one would think that Amer
lean girls would get tired Of trying the ex-
pertinent Of trading their position and for
tune for q title. Once IN q long while the
experiment proves q success and we are
told that the wife is happy, but this comes
50 seldom that the case Is but the excep-
ton that proves the rule. II one-tenth
Of all marriages turned out as unhap-
PLY as do these cases OF matrimonial
barter one would be more than justified in
believing that marriage Is a failure. 1t is
difficult to believe that two people educated
and brought up under different systems Of
life and morals have a very good chance Of
living happily together. In the case in
point 1t seems that the princess did not en-
Joy paying for handsome jewels that her
husband had bought and had not even
given to her. She did not object to paying
her husbands legitimate bills, but when it
came to buying jewels for other women to
wear she naturally drew the line Ameri-
wives bank accounts for such purposes
Prince Colonna, with European ideas on
the subject, thought his spouse was draw
ing too fine a distinction. and. in princely
fashion. kicked. HE has ordered his mother
in-law. the redoubtable Mrs Mackey, never
to cross his threshold again and looks upon
her as the author of all his troubles. This
must be sad blow for Mrs. Mackay, whose
love for her native land and the customs
OF her home Is such that she lives abroad
altogether. The suit for a separation be-
tween the ill-mated couple has dwindled
down to struggle for the possession Of
the children. The friends Of the prince say
that II the suit had been brought in Naples
where it should have been, instead of in
Paris. the tribunal would certainly refuse
to deprive a prince. highly esteemed in his
own country. Of the natural guardianship
OF his children In favor a mother who is
foreign born. That Is the consideration an
American wife must expect abroad, and
yet the very next time an American heiress
receives a proposal from a foreign aristo-
crat she will probably jump at the offer.
Should we pity her or be glad that the
country is rid Of her?
