What Little Girl Said TO Victoria.

An amusing story of ingenious
childhood is told by former maid-of-
honor in the service of Queen Vic
toria, says the Youths Companion. A
little niece of hers visited her one day
ut the court The Queen caught sight
of the child, and, pleased with her in
nocent prattle, asked the lady-in-
waiting to have the little visitor come
to luncheon some day at the palace.
The child was taken on an appointed
day to the royal table. While quite
unconscious OF the honor conferred
upon her she was quiet and well-be-
haved, and not inclined to talk un-
necessarily. During the luncheon
coicken was served. The child ate
her portion with keen relish, and was
careful in the use of knife and fork.
Suddenly she stared at the Queen with
eyes like round towers. Then point
ing her small finger in the direction of
her Majesty, she exclaimed with tone
of reproof:
80 pigge piggie!
The queen had taken one of the
chicken bones quite delicately in her
fingers, but the carefully trained child
who had been warned i'll the nursery
that this was breach of propriety in
young people, could not refrain from
repeating an expression that she had
often heard her governess use. Every
one at the table was startled, but the
Queen at once led in the laughter, en-.
joying quite keenly the joke at her
own expense.

Ocean Highways,

With the increased speed Of our
great ocean racers, aud the CORE
spondingly increased dangers to ships
aud passengers, it behooves the man
ayers OF these great ocean liners u
take some concerted action for greater
precautious against collisions and the
consequent loss of life aud property.
1t would be a good plan for the rep
resentatiyes of the great and inhuen-
tial corporations running and operai'
ing these lines TO petition their Gov
erumeuts to pass. laws requiring all
ocean going steamers to adhere strict
ly to certain clearly defined highways
or courses Of travel, said courses 10
be determined by board of naval ex-
perts, composed of delegates appoint
ed bv the great maritime nations
In ocean travel, unlike railroadtrai-
fic. there is but little danger from tuil-
end collision. With two Of the racers
going at full speed, the approach OF
the swifter vessel to the slower Is 50
gradual that but little harm Is likely
TO result if they did by any accident
come together. If all eastward-b bound
ships pursued one track or course,
and all those westward bound followed
another several hundred miles distant,
such a thing as head-on collision
would be practically an imposslbillty.
Vessels might pass, but would never
meet.
Some of the older companies have
already adopted this measure, but the
usage to be effective must be unlyer-
sally observed, and to make 1t uni
versal it must be made compulsory. -

THE EFFECT OF CUBAN RECoG
NITLON.

The chief effect ofsthe passage OF the
Cameron resolution recognizing the indie
Evidence of Cuba would undoubtedly be to
enable the Cubans to float sufficient bonds
to buy the needed supplies, arms, and am
munition. 1t is Theses rather than men
Cubans need now. There are capitalists
who would buy Cuban bonds if its indie
pendence was recognized by this country.
The island could send minister to
Washington who would be received; it
could have its warships and priyateers
admitted to our ports under the protec-
ton of the neutrality laws; and while
privateers could not be fitted out here,
the moral support of this government
would be worth an hundred thousand
armed men. But recognition would not
permit Cubans TO fit Out vessels here,
buy arms or ammunition. We would
preserve strict neutrality.g
1t might be that Spain swould regard
the recognition as hostiles and would
declare war against the United
States. A war followed the re-
cognition of the independence OF
Texas. We do not believe Spain would
declare war. If 80, we woald win with

WHAT is DEMOCRACY?

Shortly after the election the Richmond

Democrats asking them what constituted
Democracy. Among others who replied
Mr. VIM. j. Bryan wrote:
II have not time to answer your
questions at length. In a broad sense
a Democracy is a government In
which the people rule and Demo-
crat is one who believes in such gov
eminent. In a party sense, Democ-
racy is defined by the Chicago plat
form and the person who supports
the party and its platform can call
himself a Democrat. The platform
was entirely satisfactory to me. In
my judgment it applied Democratic
principles to present conditions.

THE DISAPPOINTMENT OF GOOD
TIMES.


During the campaign we were told that
the mere fact that Mckinley was elected
would restore confidence and restore pros
perity. Now we are told by r. G.. Dun
& Company why business is dull:
The approaching of the holidays
and doubt about the action of Con-
gross has put off further improvement
until the new year.
Henry Clews, whose letters during the
campaign were glowing with predictions
Of the wave of prosperity that would
reach us upon the announcement of the
election of Mckinley, is now more indie
finite as to the date of it's arrival than
Dun. He says.
Here and there, however, the ques-
ton is asked-where is the great inn
provement in business that was prom
ised as the consequence Of McKinley's
election? The answer is that it is on
its way, and willput in its appearance
as soon as the march Of the seasons
permits" |
The march Of the seasons" is altogeth-
er too intangible to.suit the army of men
who are forced to march from place to
place looking for wdyk.
Still the date is postponed further and
