DoLEs KINDERGARTEN POLICY

In common with others we have
been unable to understand why our
"best government" refused regis
ter to the steamship China. 1t has
seemed to us, and to others, that it
would be a good stroke of both
policy and business TO grant the re-
gister. 1t would be polite because
in the struggle for annexation, to
which this government, not the peo-
pie, is committed, the friendship OF
a powerful corporation, with its
lobby in Washington, would he OF
great assistance From business
point of view the grant OF register
would mean a considerable sum OF
money for stamp duty and a yearly
payment of taxes assessed upon the
valuation OF the steamship. Again,
in lobbying the annexation treaty
through the Senate at Washington,
the assistance of the corporation
controlling the steamship might be
OF incalculable value in saving the
expenditure Of coin and in gaining
influence. But the Advertiser quotes
the Government as saying, that "our
position is such that had we given
the vessel register against our as
surances to the United States, we
would have had no other alternative
than to resign our portfolios The
motive then is purely personal
one, selfish one. Rather than re-
sign their offices they will refuse
to carry out the laws OF the Repub-
lio granting registers to shipping.
The Ministers in other words prefer
to violate their oaths of Office rather
than resign the Office.

Both the Star and Advertiser have
brave words in commendation Of
the Government for the stand taken
in refusing a register to the steam
ship China; but the Advertiser hav-
ing the courage of convictions goes
30 far as to prepare the way for the
Government to shed its responsible
ity for the register, saying: "If the
Government will submit the case to
the Courts, and after hearing it is
decided that registration is obliga-
tory, the Government OF the United
States, on being fully informed on
the subject, will acquiesce." Pos
sibly but how will you hoodv ink
Senator Perkins and his colleagues,
dear Advertiser They were pro-
missed that no register should be
granted, and have wit enough to see
through the transference Of re-
sponsibility from Government to
Court.

WcToRrA's HALLucINATloN.
For Years She Shrank from Stepping
Ont of Her Cnrrinpe

n
Out of Her Carriage,
Victoria has not been exempt from the
faint of insanity which is hereditary
in her house, and at the death of her
husband, SO years after their mar
riage, she continued for several years
in retirement, which was not wholly
that of mourning, for during that time
she was subject to Authorizations. One
hallucination took possession of her
every time she alighted from car
rage, says the Chicago News.
No one but sturdy old Scotchman,
John Brown, a footman, was able to
convince her that she was not stepping
into the deepest nbysses, and it was
his strong and reassuring hand and
INA, ma, yer majesty, there is ma goolf
there" that would quiet her fears. He
was during those years n special at
tendant, and the ignorance of the masses
as to the real condition of Victoria
gave rise to the John Brown scandal"
wherein the names of the two were
coupled.
Her mental malady has reappeared al
intervals, taking the form of despond-
cncy and moroseness, but as years have
interviewed since her great grief she
has been more and more free from its
touch.

UNSUITABLE STEALING.
Why IA Kentucky Judge Set Aside n
Verdict of n Jury.

Why "A Kentucky Judge Set Aside n
Verdict of n Jury.
II heard the late Judge john r.
Grace, of the court of appeals of Ken
lucky, set aside the verdict of jury
once under circumstances that to my
mind did him infinite credit" said Rep
resentative John S. Rhea, of that state,
according to the Washington Post.
''It seems that a poor woman, who
was on the verge of starvation and who
was the sole support of four little chill
dren, went into a neighbours smoke
house and purloined piece of bacon.
The proof was positive and the jury
reluctantly returned verdict of guilty.
When the finding of the jury was read
Judge Grace, who at that time pre-
sided over the Fourteenth judicial dis
trict, rising to his feet, said in the most
emphatic tones:
THE court orders that the verdict
in this case be set aside, and want to
declare here that in all cases where an
unfortunate woman ison trial for steal
ing food, taken to keep her offspring
from starving, it will require 10 men to
convict Ler of the crime in this court
The defendant is discharged from GUS
tody.'
THE announcement was greeted
with applause from the spectators, and
the general sentiment was that Judge
Grace had acted not only as befitted
a chivalrous man, but that his ruling
was right. Theft to keep innocent ba-
'bies from perishing of hunger can
scarcely be called crime"

Unusual Experience of n Hotel Cat
In a Music Box.
A few nights ago, when the big aeo-
Ian at the Great Northern began its
usual evening programme it didn't
seem to work just right, says the Chi
cago Chronicle. The aeolian was doing
its level best to play the wedding march
from "Lohengrin," but made an awful
mess of it.
The first strain, which everybody re-
members goes Rum-tum-te-tum," was
followed by "meouw-wow-ow." All the
crowd looked up at the organ and tried
to locate the spot where the unusual ac-
compartment came from. The next
strain of the march was followed by a
screening yowl that was heard clear
up to the G floor. People at dinner
dropped their knives and forks and
looked nervously at each other and
then at the doors and windows. just as
the third yell came out of the aeolian
Proprietor Eden was seen on the second
floor stealthily moving toward the in
strument with a ladder in his hand. Mr..
Eden crept up close to the aeolian and
listened for moment. Then he put his
ladder against the right side and slowly
made his way to the top. When he got
up he reached over and put his hand
down inside of the e fat pipe. There
were no results at first. Then he stood
on tiptoe and showed his arm to the
shoulder down the mouth of the pipe.
Then followed a terrible yowling and
scratching, but the colonel pulled and
with noise like the departure of a
tight cork from the neck of a beer bot
tie he pulled the hotel cat out of the
pipe and carried it down to the bag
gage room, where it belongs.
