The QUEEN BEHIND THE rlNaga.
Lillian Bell Gets Her First Taste of
Real Liberty in England.

Real Liberty I'm England.
Miss Lillian Bell, who is narrating her
impressions of the old world and its
people for the Ladies' Home Journal.
writes from London: II have seen the
houses of parliament and the tower
and Westminster abbey, and tho
worlds fair, but the most impressive
sight ever beheld is the upraised haud
of London policeman. l never heard
one of them speak except when spoken
to. But let one little blue-coated man
rnise his forefinger and every vehicle
on wheels stops, and stops instantly;
stops without swearing or gcsticulnt-
ing or abuse; stops with no underhnnd-
ed trying to drive out of line and get
by on the other side; just stops, that is
the end of it. And why? Because the
queen of England is behind that raised
finger. Why, II London policeman has
more power than our president. Even
the queens coachmen obey that fore
finger. Understanding how to obey,
that is what makes liberty.
Il am the most flamboyant of Amer
leans. the most hopelessly addicted to
my own country, but must admit that
l had my first real taste of liberty in
England. will tell you why. In Amer
lea nobody obeys anybody. We make
our laws, and then most industriously
set about studying out q plan by which
we may evade them. America is suf-
fering, as all republics must of neces-
sity suffer, from liberty in the hands
of the multitude. The multitude are
ignorant, and liberty in the hands of
the ignorant is alMnYs license"

FORAKER AND HANNA IN THE
SENATE,

How Mr.. Foraker would be benefited
by having some other Republican than
Mr.. Hanna sitting alongside of him in
the Senate Chamber is yet to be
demonstrated. In or out of the Senate
Mr.. Hanna will exercise, and will just
ly and properly exercise, precisely the
same great influence with the McKin-
ley administration as now. In or out
of the Senate he is bound to be pot
ent factor in Ohio politics for years to
come. Eliminating him from the Sen
ate will not eliminate him from Ohio
politics. Mr.. Foraker's importance
will neither be greater nor less by rea-
son of Mr. Hanna's presence in Wash
ington or his absence from the Ma
tion's capital.
1t is hardly credible that Senator
Foraker himself, or any real friends of
Senator Foraker's could be so short
sighted or so bilious as to desire that
the knife shall enter Mark Hanna's
back. What would the result be? No
imaginable advantage to Mark Hanna's
colleague. Only a drop or two of
blood, quick recovery on the part of
the victim of treachery, and the inaug.
uration of factional war raging for
years everywhere between the great
river and the great lake, and fraught
with the grayest consequences not
only to the Republican pcrty in Ohio,
but to the Republican party in the
Union.
The year 1900 is too near at hand for
the exhibition of knives in Ohio or
elsewhere. a1a

DANGER FROM TALL MASTS.
noss Perilous Part of the Work Of Paint
ing the Brooklyn Bridge.

The most hazardous work in painting
the Brooklyn bridge is not done while
swinging from a rigger's seat up among
the strands that hang from the four big
cables. 1t is done while the men are on
scaffold that hangs underneath the bridge
structure A fall from almost any place
on the bridge means death to the painters,
and it matters little to them where they
are at work, so far as an unsteadiness
from the fear of falling is concerned. But
when they are at work swinging under
meath the bridge they must keep an eye
open for danger that confronts them in
no other place on the structure. They
must watch for the tall masts of vessels
lest they be swept away through the neg
lect of skipper to lower his topmasts
One such accident has already occurred,
and the painters saved themselves by
springing from their scaffold TO the beams
of the bridge. The tide was high, but the
skipper of tall masted vessel bound up
the sound thought he had room and To
| spare to clear the bridge without housing
| his masts. The men at work on the scat
| fold happened to look around at the right
| time They saw they were in danger and
| leaped TO place of safety. The topmast
came along, tore one end of the scatlold
| lose and left it hanging by the other end
| The paint pots went into the river as the
| vessel swayed to one side. Had the work
men remained on the scaffold they would
have been thrown into the water, and I'M
doubtedly that would have meant death to
| them.
The bridge is painted from top to bot
tom every four years. The work is done
