TIE WOES oF A PRINCESS.

The Princess Chimay who started
out to shock the world, has met with
sudden and cruel rebuff at the hands OF
the Landsgericht, or lower court, of
Berlin, which has declared officially
that the posing of the Princess as a
living picture, with the subsequent
sales of photographs of her various
poses, did not constitute an offense to
public morals.
This is a sad blow and the Princess
is having a hard time of it. She evil
IDENTIFY started out on her lurid career
with the determination to make rec
ord as a shameless woman such as the
world had never before been called
upon to witness. Her elopement with
the apish Rigo was the beginning of
the elimination of her career, n this
field; her subsequepS fondling and
kissing Of hiyH.a9-- be1ore a Partisan pub
ljR was its second act: the appearance
of Rigo in vaudeville sketch telling
the story of his liaison with the Prin-
cess-with herself as one of the audi
ence witnessing the performance-was
it's continuation; the living picture en-
gagement in Berlin was confidently
counted upon as a "corking' climax.
And now an unruffed Landsgericht
declares that this latter coup" does
not offend public morals! 1t it doesn't,
what the mischief is the Princess di
Chimay to do? Unless she can con-
tinue to offend public morals she is lost
to fame forever. She was apparently
certain that Berlin would pronounce
her monsrously Observation-Disclosures
great would have been her delight and
wide the new field opened to her in
other cities. Nothing could have
pleased her better than to have been
imprisoned in a Berlin Jail for her in
decency. But Berlin wouldn't i'm
prison her, and so her occupations
gone.
Pity the sorrows Of the Princess di
Chimay. She has evidently lost the
power to shock the public. When
woman of her stripe does this she is
indeed unhappy. Shamelessness in
obscurity is all that is left her.

THE BIG LABOR MEETING.

Tomorrow there will be held in this
city what will probably be the largest
and most important gathering of the
representatives of organized labor ever
held in America.
The heads of thirty-eight labor or
CARNATIONS have been invited and it is
expected that all, but those who are so
far in the West that it will be impossi-
Bile for them to get to Wheeling in
time for the meeting. will accept.
The participants in this meeting, to
be held at Trades Assembly hall, will
represent over a million of working
men, and its conclusions will be, pos
sibly, of tremendous Importance to the
country.
The object OF the meeting is to aid
the miners in their strike by every
means in the power of organized labor
and to fight the matter to the bitter
end with all the resources at their COM
mand. In fact, it is organized labor
itself. regardless Of trades or other dis
tinctions that has taken up the cause
Of the miners as its own.
These labor leaders are a hard-head-
ed, practical sort of men, who claim
that the cause Of organized labor itself
is at stake in this miners strike. and
they have so determined to take up the
gage Of battle.
The Register extends a cordial well
come on behalf Of the city to these rep
resentatives Of American labor We
have always upheld the principle
which underlies organized labor, which
has done more than any other one
thing to uphold the dignity Of labor
and to secure for it its share of the
wealth it produces. The Register is,
however. opposed from every point of
view to the sympathetic" strike,
which is wrong in principle and has
never yet BEEN successful in practice
and probably never will be.
Let the representatives Of organized
labor which shan meet tomorrow, re-
solve to use al their efforts to enlisting
the sympatHt and cooperation of the
public, whidh is already convinced of
the Justice II the miners cause, and in
this way bringing pressure to bear on
the operators, to which they must
yield.

CONGRESSIONAL BuNoo srEERERs.

Congressman Swanson, Of Virginia,
remarks sententiously of the tariff con-
ference and the Sugar Trust: "The
conference agreement gives the Trust
four cents more protection on each
100 pounds of raw sugar brought in
than did the House schedule. That is
the whole story in a nutshell. The
Trust has come out on top"
That is not quite the whole story,
either, for the trust gained much more
than this gift of millions on raw sugar.
The Senate rate of 1.95 protection on
sugar above what is technically
known as the Dutch standard was not
disturbed. The schedule is left pro-
hibitory on such sugars as are known
as first-grade German marks, which
are the grades now most largely i'm
ported to sell in competition with the
Sugar Trust. Other bounties were
lowered a little as a sop to the simple
minded and easily fooled. But these
concessions" as the bunko steerers
are pleased TO call them, do not in the
least affect the principle involved.
They only emphasize the Democratic
contention that the main aim and pur-
pose of the Dingley bill are to carry
out the terms of the contract entered
into last year by the Republican bosses
and the trusts for the election of Nc
Kinley.
The work of the conference smacked
Of green goods methods. No compro-
mise was made and, the term is used
by the organs Of the administration
and the party bosses to allay the sus-
picion of the people and to induce re-
pose. so that the beneficiaries Of the
outrageous steal can the easier get of
with the swag.
The gush and exclamation Of
Speaker Reed against the measure as
il came from the Senate are now easily
understood. The Speaker in a meas
ure Gained the indignation of the coun-
try with his buster, apparently for no
other purpose than to smooth the way
for the party majority in the House to
offer better excuse for passing the bill
than could have been found defying
public sentiment by placing the in
iquitous measure on the statutes in the
exact phraseology in which the Sena-
torial agents Of the Sugar Trust at
tempted to cover up their misconduct.
This is essentially tina method of the
bunko steerer. And NQm Reed has

SELFISH CANADA.

We are reminded from across the
line in Canada that not only the Klon-
dyke territory but nearly all the profit
able gold fields in the northwest dis
covered in the last five years are on
the British side Of the line. They also
complain that their own government
is not looking with sufficient sharp
ness after Canadian interests.
There are two routes to the Klon-
dyke country, one by going up the
Yukon river from Boring sea and the
other from Jeneau over the mountains
and down the rivers and lakes con-
Meeting with the upper part Of the
Yukon. All but a small part of the
long route up the Yukon is in United
States territory. The beginning Of the
shorter route by way of Jeneau lies in
American waters. Over both routes
American gold seekers and American
supplies are pouring into the Cana
dian gold country, and by the longer
route the riches taken out of the Klon
dyke region were brought to an Amer
lean port to be converted into United
States money. The Canadians get no
toll out Of the going or coming and.
they do not like #.
Seattle and San Francisco are likely
TO reap rich harvests in the Quitting
and Supplying of the army Of gold
seekers going or preparing to go to
the Yukon country. Spokane is pro-
fitting more than any Canadian place
as a point of departure and supply for
the Kootenay gold region in eastern
British Colombia. This is not satisfac-
tory to the people on the northern side
of the national line and they want a
change.
At present the gold fields are prac-
tically in the hands of the gold seek
ers. subject mainly to the laws they
make themselves. Supplies of all
kinds cross the boundary without be-
ing encountered by a custom house Of
fcer. Any one can dig gold, and car
~ it to the United States or elsewhere
when found, without a Canadian Off
cial to say him nay.
1t is suggested that Canadian GUS
toms officers be stationed in the
mountain pass by the Jeneau route,
and at the crossing Of the boundary of
the Yukon river, and that IeyesTytfhing
entering British teryieSry by either
route be compelled pay the Canadian
tariff. 1t is als9>demanded that gold
mining be 1sShsed, and that aliens be
either mSde to pay heavy tax Oh all
the g9E removed or be prohibited from
mig1ng altogether. There are practic-
n difficulties in the way of these sug-
gestions and demands, but something
in that line may be attempted if the
rush" continues and the mining
proves as profitable as is now pre-
dicted. for what will it profit Canada
to have the gold bearing territory II
the Yankees get both gold and trade?
