When the Queen Vas Young.

The marriage OF Queen Victoria, then
only twenty yesrs of age. to Prince Al
bert of SAKE Golha was, it is well known,
veritable love match, but for some
years the royal lady found some difficulty
in reconciing her sense of dignity and
her wiiey affection. The story goes that
one day, after a little disagreement, Her
Majesty having expressed herself in ralh'
er a despoiic tone, the Prince, whose
manly self respect was smarting at her
words, sought the seclusion Of his own
apartments, closing and locking the door
after him.
In about five minutes some one knock
ed at his door.
"Who is it?" inquired the Prince.
ut is I. Open to the Queen Of Eng.
landl T. haughiily responded Her Majes-
ty.
There was no reply. After long in
terval there came a gentle tapping and
the low spoken words
1T is I, Victoria, your wife J"
And then the door was, opened, and
the young bride was clasped in her hus-
bands arms.

WAsECA Herald: Let the bond
ocracy .conspirators and their rep
resentatives, John Sherman and
Grover Cleveland, as we'll as their
followers look upon this picture:
<$Bradstreet's correspondents in
119 cities show that there are SOL
900 wage earners in those localities
in enforced idleness, while the
number of persons dependent
upon them for support is more
then 1856, 0OO.' And these re-
ports are from less than half the
cities of the country. Three mil
lion people is a low estimate OF
those who are compelled to live
upon charity or at the public ex.
pense for want of employment.
And all this suffering has beer
brought about to enable Shylock
to increase the bonded indebted
ness of this country as we'll as the
balance of the world. What :

IT having been judicially determined
that pine timber growing on remote
school sections is worth 81 per thou
sand stumpage, we wait with patience
to see the number of buyers who will
take up the remaining timber on the
school lands. Possibly some OF the
distinguished gentlemen who have
been appointed by the legislature of
Minnesota to look up the matter or
some of their friends will relieve the
State of it's stock of timber at these
prices. No sane lumberman would do
it.-Mississippi Valley L,aaber1no,e.
The State would be the gamer
if it's officials would make haste
slowly in the matter of disposing
of it's stock of timber.

NoRTHF1ELD Nevs: It seems to
be necessary, says an exchange,
that each generation of men, like
individual man, shall learn it's
most useful lessons in the hard
school of experience. Millions of
American citizens have been born
since the Republican party came
into power in 1860. They know
little or nothing of the hard times
of 1857. They have had no ex-
perience except with the unparal-
leled prosperity that came to the
nation from steadfast adherence to
the protective policy for more than
thirty years. 1t was not unnatural
for them to think that this was
perhaps the necessary order of
things; that the blessings secured
by wise legislation were the mere
voluntary gift of nature. And it
was possibly not strange that they
listened incredulously to the as
surances of older. and wiser men
that man is blessed only when he
uses wisely his opportunities, and
that free trade for the American
people necessarily means devasta.
ton and ruin of their industries.
But, nine months Of misery pro.
duced by the mere menace of ar
economic revolution suffced t.
supply evidence that brought con
