The Prince of Wales Tact.

Of all tactful royal personages there is
no one that shines more brilliantly in this
particular than the Prince of Wales, whose
unquestioned power and predominant in
tiuence in English society and over English
life are entirely owing to the delicate tact
with which they are exercised. How eX-
quisite is this tact may be gathered from
the circumstance that although the prince
is in his siXtieth year and has been the
Nost conspicuous public figure in Eng
lish life for the past four decades-always
in full glare of the prying gaze of the peo-
pie, and without scarcely a days privacy
yet up to the present moment no one,
not even among his dearest friends, pos
sesses any inkling as to the true character
of his political sympathics. He is equally
courteous ana gracious to Lord Salisbury
and to Mr.. Gladstone. He has both Tory
and Liberal statesmen to stay with him
in the country at SandrinGham. He has
even shown marked civility to Irish Home
Rulers, so much so indeed that there are
some people on both sides of the Atlantic
who fOndly imagine bat the prince is al
most a Fcnian. No one, however, knows
anything on the subject for sure" and
hence, when the prince comes to the
throne, he may be expected to figure as Il
model to all constitutional monarchs, hold
ing an impartial balance between the two
great political parties and being absolute
ly free from any suspicion of inclining
more to the one than to the other. And
We're the prince to die before succeeding
to the throne he will be remembered both
in England and on the continent as the
man of the present era who was dist III
guished among all his contemporaries for
possessing in the highest degree that most
indisp ensable of all VirtucS-namely, tact.

Does Not Prove the Rule.

The funny feature of the case is that one
can take almost any year from Polk to Lin
coin and prove by good Democratic tcSti-
mOny that it was Il year of misfortune
and by good Republican testimony that
it was a year of prosperity. The one
marked exception is the year extending
from August, 1851, to the same month i'll
1898. All authorities ,.nll sides agree that
that was a ba year. One member WAS 50
unfortunate as to select the year 1873 as an
awful example of v hat misery low tariff
had wrought for the farmers, and one on
the other side was still more unfortunate
in selecting certain years since the war.
One asserted with great Nvhclnencc that
free trade had reduced England to a general
condition of commercial helplcs~ncsS and
pauperism among the laboring classes,
while another demonstrated to his own sat
isfaction that protection was literally eat
ing out the heart of Germany
Now, Il common man is hardly at liberty
to ridicule Il congressman. Indeed it would
be Il sort of moral treason. Nevertheless
it might have occurred to these gentlemen
that one example does not establish IL gen
eral rule, even in sciences much less com
plicated than politics, and that England :

marine and immense continental posses

mentioned by this president.
The contrast was very marked between
the debate ON the Wilson bill and that on
the Mckinley bill. 1t fell to my lot to read
carefully every speech delivered in the nous"
on that bill and to condcnse them into onr-
third of their space for popular use, and
was much impressed with the great ability
displayed on both sides of the discussion.
In the recent debate there We're single
speeches of ability equal to any in the Fifty

was somewhat inferior. | WIS particularly

entire period from the accession of Polk to
that of Lincoln was one of continuous and
uninterrupted prosperity, while the former
declared it Il season of almost uniutrrrupt-

AIDES showed unbrokcn prosperity.
Now one would naturally suppose that
these statesmen would read the commercial
history Of tl.I.r country, at least of nights,

Health Officer Woodward Yesterday granted
the release of Judge Rucker and Judge ]. J.
Parker from that institution. At o'clock in
the afternoon, after taking good bath and
changing their clothing these gentlemen
seated themselves in a closed carriage and
were rapidly driven through the rain to tn cir
respective homes, where they were warmly
greeted by relatives and friends after their
long and enforced absence.
The release of Messrs. Rucker and Parker
leaves only two inmates of the hospital Mary
Brown and Mary Thomas. both of whom will
probably be CELEBRATED during the present week.
Asthe gentlemen were entering the carriage
yesterday afternoon Mary Thomas observed:
There goes The two judges. Now the two

He was to have been married on the 5th in

to postpone that event. His bravery and
loyalty to his profession and stricken human
