Yesterday Queen Victoria was seventy
eight years of age and when June p ar
rives she will have been on the throne
of Great Britain and Ireland sixty years
nearly two generations. The empire over
which she is the sovereign is five times
as large as it was when, girl of eight
cen, she ascended the throne. During that
period the aggregate property Of the United
Kingdom has trebled. The population OF
London has quadrupled and the city has
become in a large sense. the worlds clear
ing house.
There is an impression in this country
that the sovereign of Great Britain is only
a figurehead, without influence in the gov
eminent or among the people. In a limited
monarchy, with a constitutional govern
ment in which parties rule, the power of
the sovereign is limited. The ministry
makes the policy of my" government, yet
the sovereign has always had an influence
upon the government. This is particularly
true of Queen Victoria. If she has not
shaped the policy of ministries, she has
made her impress upon the character of
the British people, and always for good.
More than sovereign, she has been the good
and wise woman of England for more than
half a, century. 1t has been fortunate-more
fortunate than any one can estimate-that
this self-contained woman, representing the
highest virtues of womanhood, has been
on the throne all these years.
Great as has been the progress of the
British empire in sixty years, there are
indications that when the Queen shall have
celebrated her diamond jubilee the sixtieth
anniversary of her reign, as she will if
she shall live until June p, the United
Kingdom has reached its highest power. 1t
will doubtless hold its own for many
years, but British statesmen must realize
that Great Britain is no longer dictator
as it has been during the reign of Victoria.
But whether Great Britain has or has not
reached the zenith of her power, whether
foes or friends of Britain and British pol
icy, all intelligent people must hold in
high regard the noble woman who has SO
held the scepter over that great nation as
to strengthen the moral purpose Of the
British people.

in the country, who are willing to work for
food. The tramp or hobo has declared war
on all forms of useful labor. He is a para
site, is always a nuisance. and often worse.
Society should turn against him and see
to it that he earns his bread. Much more
than the truant act connected with the law
compelling children to attend school, the
State needs hobo law which will provide
for the arrest of tramps after they have
been given a chance to work for their food
and the putting of them at work on the
highways in periods of sixty days. If there
are not enough of these persons convicted
in one county, let them be called from sew
eral and put at work on the roads where
there is plenty of work to be done. The re-
suit might not be profitable to the commu-
nifty but it would rid it of tramps who are
a terror to women and menace to prop
erty. The wonder is that a tramp law of
this kind has not been adopted in several
of the States in which they are numerous.

Investigation that Won Tausch has had reg
uiar and frequent meetings with Count Her
bert Bismarck, and that he has had similar
relations with the Eulenburgs, and also,
III lesser degree, with General Count Won
Waldersee, especially just before and after
Caprfvi's fall, when Waldersee was among
the chief candidates for the chancellorship.
1t is quite certain that Won Tausch has not
conducted his political intrigues for so
many years on his own account, but for
higher and more powerful persons. Al
though in receipt of but small salary $500
marks-$S00) he has lived at the rate OF
ooUOV marks per annum and his load or
debts has been paid, from time to time,

Won Iauseh is a Bavarian by birth. He
comes from a family OF impoverished no.
bles, served as a lieutenant in the Bavarian
army during the Franco-German war be-
ing decorated with the Second Glass of the
Iron Cross for distinguished bravery during
some engagements. In 1876 having been
promoted captain, he was forced to leave
the army because of peCuuiary difficulties.
After being employed by the Berlin Dis
coEto Gesellshaft for q short while, he was
appointed u subordinate officer in the Berlin
police force, due to the influence of the
Bismarcks. For about fifteen years he has
been the soul of the political police depart
ment nearly all the important treason,
espionage and Anarchist cases being in-
trusted to him. He presented too, the
Schnaebeie case, which almost led TO war
with France at the time by arresting

TRIAL OF Won TAUSCH
SENSATIONAL GERMAN SCANDALS
NOW BEING AIRED IN COURT.
Baron Won Lutzow Testifies He Was
Instructed to Spread Reports About
the Kaiser's Ear Troubles.

BERLIN, May 24-The trial of Herr
Won Tausch, the former commissioner of
the secret political police, who was ar
rested on Dec. last at the close of the
sensational Luetzow-Leckert trial, during
which the imperial chancellor. Prince
Hohenlohe, the minister for foreign af-
fairs, Baron Marschal Won Bierberstein
and the German ambassador to Austria,
Count Philip Won Eulenburg, were among
the witnesses, commenced to-day and will
probably last a week Among the wit
nesses summoned are Baron Marschal Won
Bieberstein. Count Philip Won Gutenberg,
ex-minister Won Kochler and General
Bronsart Won Schellendorf, Police Presi-
dent Windheim, Herr Bebel, the Socialist
leader, and about fifty newspaper men, be-
sides a number of officials belonging to the
different ministries
AT the opening of the trial the president
of the court cautioned Baron Won Luet-
zow not to depart from the actual truth
in the testimony which he might be called
on to give against Won Tausch. The form
er chief of the secret political police was
then examined He made a statement rela-
tive to the employment OF Won LuetzoW
and a newspaper man named Schumann
by the secret political police and assured
the court that he, Won Tausch, had never
his agents.
Schunlann, of Norman-S chumann is said
TO have been much more guilty than Baron
Won Luetzow. Schumann escaped from
Berlin just in time to avoid arrest He
was charged in conjunction with Baron
Luetzow with having signed fictitious
names to receipts for money given them
to bride newspaper writer's or editors. or
subordinate employees of the government TO
furnish secretly information of every kind
wanted in the alleged campaign to discred-
it the existing Cabinet.
Won Luetzow, during his examination,
testified that he received definite instruc-
lions to publish reports about the ear
troubles of the Emperor. The witness was
asked if Won Tausch assigned these
troubles to an alleged malady. He replied:
Certainly; Won Tausch said the malady
had a cancerous basis, was inherited from
his father and that the disease considera-
bly, affected his Majestys general health .
Instead of the customary late night SeS-
sion the court rose at 4:30 this afternoon
Herr Won Tausch, who has been in prison
since the close of the Leckert-LuetzoW
trial, early last winter, declared abruptly
that he was physically and mentally inca
pable of q longer attendance to-day. 1t is
probable that the case will occupy from
six to ten days.

why spencer,s removal Is Asked.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
1 desire, through the medium of the Jour
nal, to give a statement to the veterans and
their friends throughout the State of the
cause of the fight for the removal of Mr..
Spencer as pension agent at Indianapolis.
1t was understood by every Republican and
so stated in the press at the time, that,
when a Republican President would be in
augurated in 1897, Spencer would go at once,
for his course towards the clerks in the
previous agency, and especially for his
treatment of the veterans whom he found
in the office. There were ten veterans in
the office when he took charge eight of
William Downey, David Durbin, James r.
East, George Marshall d. H. Olive, w. c.
David and William II. Calvert All of the
above named were efficient clerks, perform
ing their work faithfully and we'll; besides,
they were all disabled old soldiers so certi-
fed to by their pension certificates, and
entitled to the charitable consideration of
every feeling person and loyal citizen.
These old soldiers had to walk out to make
room for horde of hungry young hangers
on from Fort Wayne. All of these veterans
so turned out were men of families while,
in a great many instances, their places
were filled by unmarried men. Immediately
after the election of COmrade Mckinley the
veterans and their friends demanded the
immediate removal Of Spencer from the
position that he had dtsgraced by his treat
ment Of our comrades and they intend that
he shall go so that he will be an example
to all fellows of his stripe. that the time
has not yet arrived when they can treat the
old soldiers as he has At the time he was
discharging the old crippled veterans from
the service of their country that they had
so faithfully served in the field, he was in
great glee and went about and boasted to
his Democratic friends that he was cutting
off the heads of Republicans every day. He
also dismissed seven sons and daughters of
veterans that were in the service. | hope
thew will get up petitions and write letters
to our comrade President Mckinley, from
every community in the State, asking him
to remove this man, Sc that he may have
a dose of his own medicine. OF course, he
does not like it, because he has Just been
asked to take it, and he. responds with tears
and cries but he should be made to take
it. II will do him good, and probably teach
him and others through him much needed
lesson.
A Republican administration must set its
seal of condemnation upon this man so az
to Show that it is now, as in the past, still
the friend of the perpetrators of the Re
public and this can only be done by Com
rade Mckinley removing him from office
at once and not letting. him remain a day
longer to give even a suspicion that the out
ra geous treatment of our comrades is
winked at by this. our administratIon

The London School Board offers annual
prize in competition by choirs made
up from the public elementary schools.
London paper commenting on the con-
tests, says the singing was surprisingly
good, and thinks England ought to be
musical nation some day, if all the school
children sing as well as these selected
choirs. A New England conference of ed
ucational workers in session in Boston has
been investigating the progress of musical
instruction in the public schools and found
a surprising degree of efficiency even in the
lower grades. What is true of Boston is
true of most towns in the Countrywide en-
ployment of special teachers in music be-
ing quite general. 1t is the general educa-
tion in music continued through several
generations that has given Germans prece-
dence in the art not their original and in
born talent. The education that children
are now getting in this and other countries
will, in time, produce like results The
musical atmosphere will not be thing
found only by crossing an ocean, but will
exist in every community. AS It is, a rapid
growth in musical taste ard sentiment
within the past ten years has been noticed

CHEAPNEss AND wRETCHEDNEss.

The strike in the clothing trade in New
York is based upon the claim that the thou
sands of people who work on ready-made
clothing are able to earn only from 81 to
81 a week. Doubtless many receive much
more than 81 or 81 a week, but those who
receive such wages do not get enough to
support life. The contractors who pay such
wages aver that those who earn any wages
to take home are better off than they are,
since the close of the week often finds them
in debt. The manufacturers on their part
claim that they have been losing money
during the past year, that clothing is
cheaper now than it has ever been before,
and that it is impossible, with prevailing
prices, to pay the present scale of wages
and leave any margin for profit. Thus the
cheapest clothing ever known is produced
at the sacrifice of wages and profits.
1t is said that the chief cause of the very
low wages paid in New York for making
clothing is the sweat-shop system" Here
it is that the worst effects of immigration
are experienced. Poor families of foreign
ers are crowded into cheap rooms and sub
sist on the meager wages earned by work
ing long hours. They can eat the poorest
food and live in the wretchedest tenements.
Natives and others who know something
of decent living cannot compete with these
people And yet there are those who insist
that it would be an injustice not to permit
these people to come to this country, where
the labor market is already crowded, and
underbid a fair rate of wages. Mr.. Com
pers, president of the American Federation
of Labor, states that one of the objects of
the strike is to put absolute end to this
system He does not state how it can be
accomplished He may know how to reach
the clothing makers who have their goods
made where they may be infected with
disease. If he does, and can reach them,
he will render great service.
The inadequate wages, the loss of profits
and the consequent cheap clothing is the
legitimate result of the heresy of free
trade, which looks only to cheapness with
out regard to the sacrifices and wretched-
ness which it brings. The remedy is to
close our ports as far possible to i'm
migrants who will swell the volume of
labor, which is now in excess of the de-
mand, and boycott those firms which di-
rectly or indirectly have their clothing
made in sweat shops. Such a boycott will
be a war upon a system which reduces
wages to the level of wretched existence.

The much proclaimed interview of the
Sultan is made up largely of the remarks
of the distinguished person who did the
interviewing. There is. however, one sig
nificant statement in what the Sultan said,
and that is that the British ambassador at
Constantinople had so conducted himself
that he has lost to Great Britain its former
prestige in Turkey The British embassa-
dor has been an autocrat, the Sultan init
mates, and has forced him into the arms
OF Russia and compelled him to regard
Germany as a good friend. This remark
leads Sir Ellis Ashmead Bartlett, who did
the interviewing, to OBSERVE with evident
sorrow that Germany has supplemented
England commercially in Turkey. and Rus
sia has supplanted England politically.
And now thar the willy Sultan has confessed
that this is true he has no fear of the con-
sequences and cares no logger for the sup
port which Great Britain has given Turkey
during many years.

Several newspapers have spoken in COM
mendation of the resolution which Senator
Fairbanks presented in the Senate as a
substitute for the Morgan resolution.
Among the papers commencing the resolu-
ton is the critical and Independent Boston

luton because it offers a statesmanlike So
luton of the Cuban question and exhibits
the wisdom and dignity which the repre-
sentatives of a great nation should assume.
Senator Fairbanks's resolution was not
substituted for the Morgan declaration,
but it is in accord with the policy of Gen.
Grant in 1s,y and with the better and wiser
sentiment of the American people. When
the contention shall have been settled, it

The Journals industrial notes each week
chronicle steady improvement in local
business of many kinds regardless of the
delay in tariff legislation, and yet the COM
plant of hard times is quite as loud as at
any former period. Is it that business men
have fallen into habit of grumbling and
do not see when the time has come to
stop? Perhaps a cheerful view of affairs
would tend to still more rapid improve
ment of the industrial situation. The mind
cure is as likely to affect inanimate as
animate things.
