Dorothy Drew.

The name runs tripplngly on the tongue
and invites repetition. 1t might be the
name OF the child heroine OF some story
or of some little miss of or
American colonial times, but it is neither
of these. 1t is the name of the little grand
daughter of the Hon. William e. Gladstone,
who has just been honored and made ia
nous by being summoned by Queen Vic
toria to visit her at Windsor Castle. This
announcement is Dorothy Drew's first in
PRODUCTION to the American public. Ameri-
cans know Mr.. Gladstone as one of the
most remarkable men of the age, a versatile
statesman, four times British Premier and
a grand old man who carries his eighty
seven years very lightly. They know he
has children, but they did not know he has
grandchildren. Even now they do not
know if there are others, but they know
about Dorothy Drew. The dispatch speaks
of her as having figured so prominently in
Mr.. Gladstone's domestic life" Probably
that means that she has inherited some
thing of the genius and vivacity of her
grandfather and is the old mans darling.
That she possesses some fetching qualities
is shown by the fact that her fame reached
the ears of the Queen and interested her
Majesty sufficiently to bring an invitation
for the child to visit her at Windsor Castle.
An invitation from the Queen is a sum-
mons, and no little girl named Dorothy
would mink of disobeying such a
Dorotky's mother went with her, but evil
IDENTIFY Dorothy was the guest of honor. No
doubt Mrs. Drew ds a very excellent and adj
mirable woman, but on this occasion she
undoubtedly played second 1iddle" to Do
rothy. From London they were accom-
panied by the Princess Louise to Windsor,
where they were met by the Queens car
riage and conveyed to the castle. Dorothy
had her audience with the Queen, and after
aking luncheon with her Majesty she and
her mother returned TO Hawarden. 1t is to
be hoped Dorothy was not overcome by the
magnitude of the honor and the
gravity of the situation. and that
she made herself as agreeable to
the Queen as she does to her grand
father. AS a sequence of this visit the
Prince and Princes of Wales will to-day
drive to Hawarden and, after luncheon
with M. and Mrs. Gladstone, they Will
each plant a tree as a memorial of the oc-
casion. Those trees will be historic. Mr..
Gladstone has cut down hundreds of trees
in his time, but he will take precious good

AN UNEXPECTED REPORT.

The statement made in Dun's Weekly
Review of Trade, issued Saturday, that the
actual sales by leading houses in each line
of business in the principal cities east of
the Rocky mountains during April were
put III per cent. less than those of the pros
porous April of 1892, and 6 per cent. above
last year, is so unexpected that MANY will
be disposed to question it. This cannot be
very well done, since the statement is based
upon the summary of 357 reports. each COW
ering actual sales of leading merchants in
fourteen cities, embracing the chief dis
tributing centers. This statement, so well
oased' is astonishing, when it is remem-
bered that April was as unfavorable for
business as it we'll could be. The Mississippi
valley was flooded and transportation was
for a time impeded by storms.
There was nothing in the situation to en-
courage business men to stock up except
the probability of tariff legislation, which is
expected to give a start to business by af-
fording more employment and maintaining
prices, which, because of large importa-
lions, would otherwise decline. If Congress
should respond to the earnest desire of the
business interests of the country by speed
lily settling the tariff question upon a basis
that would give the home markets to our
own producers, the Improvement which
Dun's reports show to have already taken
place would be emphasized. Uncertainty in
this regard is one of the causes of the hold
ing back which is so generally COM
planned of.
While there are many unemployed men
in the country, there is every reason to be-
l.eve that many thousands who were idle a
year or six months ago now have employ
ment and fair wages. In some prominent
industries general activity is reported.
When other industries pick up as have iron
and wooden manufacture, the country will
have reasonably good imes-reasonably
good. because the good times which so many
people talk of never were in fact and never
will be. There is a class of men who al
ways talk of hard times, some of them be-
cause the time has never been when dollars
would 0e thrust into idle hands.
For those who desire better business con-
ditions the reports of the trade of April will
afford Encouragement.

VIOLATIONS OF THE CtVIL-sERVICE
LAW.

The Journal does not know William w.
Hill, ex-assistant superintendent of the
free-mail delivery, but the fact that he has
reached so responsible Il position is evidence
that he is a man of some consequence.
True, he is a dismissed official. and the dis
missed official has a grievance, SO that his
charges should be taken at a discount.
But, making all these allowances. the
charges of Mr.. Hill are so specific as to
men and acts that they cannot be dis
missed. The Senate committee is in duty
bound to see if Mr.. Hill is correct. The.
books of the treasury should show if sixty
spies have been employed to watch letter
carriers. 1t is well known that some Of
them We're about this city for a time
and were jealous in reporting slight de-
linquencies on the part of carriers. This,
however, is a matter of little Importance,
but it is charged that postotice employees

Governor Pingree, of Michigan, has been
telling the Legislature of that State some
thing of what he learned during a recent
visit to this city. In a special message rec
ommending a revision of the laws taxing
corporations, he says:
The operation of the laws under which
these taxes are now collected seems to me
very unsatisfactory. Under this system
we collected from express companies in the
State for 1895 81, 1924. In Indiana the prop
erty of these companies was assessed at
81, 800. SIS for the year 1895. This did not in
clude the real estate owned by them. Indi
ana has 1886 miles. less of railroad than
Michigan. TIL business of express com
panies is largely dependent upon the rail
roads, so that it is safe TO say that without
excess of mileage the business in this State
must be at least equal to the business done
in Indiana. If the express companies in
this State were assessed at the same
amount as Indiana, their taxes would have
been in 1895 $37, 1888 instead of 50, 1924.

AS a large proportion of the male IN
babitants of Indiana are piscatorially in
clined lust now it may not be amiss TO
call attention to the new fish law. 1t pro-
hibits absolutely the taking of fish with
any kind of seine, net or trap, or ito take,
catch. kill or destroy any fish in any man
ner whatever, except with d hook and line,
which line shall be held in the hand or
attached to "a pole re rod which is held IN
the hand. and no line shall be used which
has TO exceed three hooks attached there
to- An exception is made that minnows
may be caught with a seine. The principal
object of the law is to prevent the killing
of fish with dynamite, which was growing
into a common practice, and the still more
common practice of catching them with
seines. The provision above quoted also
prohibits the setting of "trot lines or any
kind of a line over night, the requirement
being that the line shall be held in the hand
or be attached to a pole or rod held in the
hand. This is a stringent provision, but
the LEGISLATURE intended to make it so,
and it is none too stringent for the protec-
ton OF the fish in Indiana waters against
unfair and destructive methods of taking
them. The state fish commissioner is US
ing his best efforts to secure the enforce
ment of the law, and fishermen throughout
the State should aid him to the FULLEST pos
sible extent.

why Senator Quay Is Not "a Lawyer,
New York Tribune

1t is not generally known that when
Senator Qua started in life he set out to
be q lawyer. But he did, and was only
twenty-one when admitted to the bar. Here
is the story of MIR. Quay's first and last law
case, VOuched for by a personal friend of
the senator. The young lawyer was trying
his maiden case, and, naturally bashful, he
dreaded above all things to speak in public.
When he arose to address the jury he be-
came extremely nervous and could scarcely
proceed with his speech. While he was
struggling to overcome his excessive diff
fidence he CHANGED to glance around and
saw some of the other attorneys in the
courtroom laughing. Believing to a GER
tainty that they were laughing at his for
ensic efforts. he at once sat down and re-
fused to proceed further with his remarks.
From that day Matthew Stanley Quay gave
up the practice of aW, refused all cases
that were offered to him, and entered into
local politics with that earnestness which
politicians of the present day. Mr.. Quay
began at the foot of the ladder, first hold
ing a minor local office, and gradually
reaching higher and higher until he at
tanned his present national prominence and
power. Senator Quay is sixty-fOur, but he
ffdence that marked his early life. He sell
dom speaks in the Senate, beyond voting
or briefly introducing a bill, and after he
has introduced a bill he sits down with the
air of a man who is glad it is over with. In
conversation with friends, however, where

%sylvania is an easy and interesting talker.
Unlike many Of the statesmen around him,
Mr.. Quay is not given to much newspaper
reading in the Senate. When ne Is restless
he leaves his seat. puts his hands in his
pockets, and. with noiSeleSS, cat-llke steps,
walks about with his head low, as II in

The Governor Of Missouri has raised a
hornets nest by appointing a homeopathic
physician superintendent of one of the
States insane hospitals. The allopathic
societies are d|enouncing the act in resolu-
lions and the Governor as no good. The
Governor says the resolutions remind him
of those adopted BY some gentlemen who
met on a noted occasion and resolved,
first, that this country is for the Lords
people,; second, that we are the Lords
people, and therefore the earth and the
fullness thereof is ours. He adds:
l have no wal to make upon the alio-
paths and have treated them since my IN
auguration courteously at all times. EVERY
state institution in Missouri is IN their
control with the exception of the one at
Fulton. / am a natural born Democrat,
and do not believe in taxation without rep
resentation. The homeopathic of the State
pay from o~ne-fourth to one-third the taxes
and l think that they are entitled TO some
recognition at my hands. The law recog-
nizeS them and has given them representa-
ton on the State Board of Health. In
of the States of the Union they are given
control of one or more of the state instttu-
tions and their record in every Instance
has proven excellent and eminently salts
factory to the public, and | see no reason
why they should be ignored in Missouri.
1t is a pretty quarrel as it stands, and on
general principles the Governor has the
best of it.

under the civil-service rules have been de-
tailed for party work and that postofRce
inspectors nave been assessed for party
purposes. Some of these things may be
denied. but the letter which Mr.. Hill read
to the committee, written by an Inspector
to Mr.. Machen, superintendent of the free
delivery service, explaining. in reply to the
inquiry of his chief. why he had not for
warded the amount OF the assessment, is
evidence OF a gross violation of the civil
service law, which makes the offense pun
ishable by fine and Imprisonment. Mr.. Hill
alleged that he had brought these matters
to the a1tention of the Civil-service Com
mission, and that the commission had made
d report discriminating Machen, but that
the attorney general had not prosecuted
the implicated officials. This fact was also
developed on the cross examination of Mr..
Hill by MI. Proctor, of the Civil-service
Commission.
If Mr.. Hills statements are sustained,
there will be ample cause for making a
large number of removals and to bring suits
against such officials as Machen for VIOLA
ton of the civil-service law and for frauds.
AS it is, it goes to strengthen the suspicion
that the extension of the law to cover so
many Democrats after they had been APP
POINTED did not have its inspiration in a
desire to promote the efficiency of the
public service so much as to make Demo-
Gratis certain of their positions while they
should pay assessments.
Mr., Hill is said to be a lifelong Demo-
crat, appointed to the Office he held be-
cause he was such, and losing it because
he was not discreet with such evidence of
frauds as came to his notice.
