QUEEN vICToniA's BREAK

One would think, at this distance, that
the British government had troubles
enough OH hand without putting a chip
on it's shoulder for the Irish to knock
off. Yet that is what has been done.
and, strange 10 say, it is the august
hand of Queen Victoria that has placed
the chip. The effect cannot but be en-
barrassing to those at present in power
To make short statement of the case
it has come to light, through the pub
lication of Lord Tennyson's biography
that in 1885 and 'SG, when Mr.. Glad
stone as prime minister was doing what
he could for Irish home rule, the queen
was stepping outside the influence OF
her constitutional advisers to condemn
the Irish cause. And it is in accordance
with her own wish that the fact is made
public at this late day
It is not easy to see why at this time.
and when 1t appears to be entirely ul,-
called for, the queen thus makes public
her active opposition to home rule at a
period when the recognized administra-
tive power was favoring it.
It will be interesting to watch the

"NOTHING CAN BE DONE"

According to a published interview
with the deputy district attorney, moth
ing can be done to punish justice Of the
peace who uses his authority in tying
the nuptial knot for the manifest pur-
pose of defeating the ends of justice
The magistrate cannot even be I'M
peached, because, the deputy distric,
attorney says, he has actually COM
mitted no unlawful act.
This view of the case adds strength
to the suggestion by The Herald that a
law ought to be passed forbidding TIL.
granting of a marriage license in cases
where one of the parties is under felony
charge.
1t is one of the great weaknesses 0!
our modern judicial system that, when
a law is made it is so often necessary
to pass other laws to maintain and pro
tect the one originally made If all OF
our officials were competent honest AMI
conscientious this would not be neces-
sary. AS It is our laws form a legal
network in which lawyers find it easy to
tear holes.
As for the attorneys, the deputy dis
trict attorney passes severe structures
upon the Bar association. He says, ac-
cording to an evening paper:
In regard to the part that Attorneys
Shinn and Conkling played in the affair,
there is no question, attorneys say, that
1t was most unprofessional on their
part, but owing to the laxness of the
Bar association, nothing will probably
be done in the matter. Lawyers of this
city have done far worse things than
that, and are still practising.
Does Mr. James speak for the bar as
ISOLATION? Will nothing probably bt

far worse things and are still practicins

THE SOUTH POLE

A voyage in that direction was made
by one Bovet in the year 1873 for the pur
pose of discov vering any land that might
lie in that quarter. This gentleman
sailed from Port rOrient, July IS, 1888,
and on the 1st of January, 1879, discov-
cred a country, the coasts of which were
covered with ice, the latitude "a degrees

minutes-the account does not state.
whether east or west-but the variation
of the compass there was degrees 45

that have been made since in that direc-

of as a great wall of ice hundreds of

A PLAN MADE BY THE ENEMY

A dispatch from Chicago says that the
Democracy has a new program. Local
issues are to be made paramount and
national issues ignored SO far as possible
in every Democratic platform of this
fall or next spring"
That is likely story. The nomination
of Henry George on the Chicago plat
form in Greater New York, and the
rebukes that have been administered by
national committeeman to Tammany
for ignoring national issues is a. suffi-
cient reply.
The next move, according to the dis
patch, will be to make ''anti-monopoly"
the war cry of the party everywhere ex-
cept where free silver is IAN incurable
disease" Government by injunction is
also to be denounced. Well, that's not
so bad. The Democratic party as the
friend and champion Of the rights Of the
masses is firmly and unalterably op-
posed to the monopoly spirit that has
made the Republican party its own. The
Republican party is by nature. training
and experience the friend of monopoly
1t has been under the rule of the Repub
lican party and the protective tariff tina,
the tremendous trust abuses that now
curse the country have sprung up. 1t IS
pretty safe to say that the Democratic
party will have considerable to say
about trusts and monopolies, but it will
not be at the expense Of the free silver
idea.
But that is not the whole of this Won
derful plan of campaign. Just listen to
this: William ]. Bryan is to be trea ted
in the meantime to a process of gradual
elision. What a treat that would be for
the Republican party! How they would
like to help eliminate Mr.. Bryan from
the problems that confront them. Just
bring on your eliminative. The man
that can take Mr.. Bryan out of the
hearts, mind and calculations Of the
American people can have the presi-
dency, for he will be the one man in the
country who is bigger than Bryan.
If the Republicans have any more
plans they would like to have the Demo-
Gratis adopt, let them be trotted out.

HOW UNCLE SAM GOT OUT OF A
SCRAPE

Here Is a morceau from The Hawaiian
Gazette that has in it a spice of humor
of the genuine Yankee brand. 1t not
only points a moral" politically, but
does it so neatly that even We, at whose
expense the joke is told, can we'll afford
to join in the laugh provoked by its pic
turesquely comical rendition. The Ga
zette points out how the discovery of gold
in the Kloindike region has placed Uncle
Sam in position to appreciate the adage
that what is sauce for the goose is also
sauce for the gander." He had by fierce
anti-Canadian immigration laws ruled
out the Kanucks or made their entry in
to his territory subject to certain oner-
Gus conditions. Earlier than he deemed
his prohibitory chickens came home to
roost Canada has an opportunity OF
applying the lex talionis on Canadian
territory-the Klondike gold fields. She
has her own restrictive immigration
laws. But Brother Jonathan, says the
Gazette, wants 70 set at the gold. He
, softens at once toward the Canadian.
He politely calls on his neighbor, puts his
hat on the floor, wipes his brow, asks
II the Canadian and his family are toll
erable we'll and proceeds to say:
guess I was little previous in hist
ing that air immigration bill through
congress. I didn't mean no harm, but
them boys called the labor unions
kinder hustled me too fast. I don't
take much stock irr that Cleveland fel-
ler, but I guess he was about right in
stoppin' that law. Hope you'll be
neighborly and not bother the boys
when they run over and scratch for
little gold on your farm. Times is sort
of hard.
And the Canadian, in friendly sort of
British way, replies:
Come over, neighbor, and bring the
boys Iknow you wanted to help your
self by making many thousands of my
people poorer than they are. You
wanted to build up Chinese wall, and
divide off the Anglo-Saxon race on
this continent. The Fat Prophet, as
the New York Sun calls him, stopped
you. It's all right. Bring the boys
over.
Uncle Sam puts on his hat, shakes
hands, walks out very meekly and whis-
pers to himself: Il came near being left
In that deal
The moral is as Bre'r Rabbit said to
Br'er Fox: Befoah you build up a high
fence, look over and see if dar is any fat

What world of pleasure
On a scorching day
Wheeling through the country
Chaperoning May!
Climbing rocky hillsides,
Struggling through the sand,
Treading rural by-paths
Narrow as your hand.
Decked with beads of moisture,
Blinded by the glare;
Wond' ring how your skirt hangs,
Clutchng at your hair.

Oftener far behind,
While the laughing comment
Greets you on the wind.

With our aching bones!

A CRIPPLE CURED. \
The Chicago "Times-Hera|d" Correspondents
at Knoxville Meets an Old Friend.
From the 7inses-Heraid, Chicago, III.

At the Normal Institute at Knoxville, Iowa.
on August 9Th, the Knoxville correspondent
of the Chicago Times Herald was much sur
prised to meet his old friend, Mr.. A. T. Conn,
whom he believed to be lifelong cripple,
from rheumatism and sciatiea, moving around
as brisk as anybody. AS the last time Mr.
Conn had been seen by the Times Herald man
he was on crutebes, and in a terrible condition,
the subject of !sis recovery was the topic of
conversation. The following is a resume of
Mr.. .Conn's story:
You are aware that from oyerwork and
exposure in April, 1894, contracted sciatica
and rheumatism, and grew steadily worse.
Notwithstanding the best of medical treatment
that the neighborhood afforded, until was
at last confined to my bed, and what little
locomotion performed was done on crutches
From the time | was taken until August,
1895, | tried every remedy | could hear of.
without any relief whatever. 1t was at that
lime that friend recommended Dr. Williams
Pink Pills, and was so enthusiastic over their
virtues that was persuaded to try them and
began to take them i'll September, 1895. I was
rather discouraged at first to find myself de-
cidedly worse, but was urged by my friends
20 persevere and give the medicine fair trial
and so did. After while began to feel an
Improvement, though it was not noticeable to
those around me, but knew | was better, and
soon was so elated that foolishly discarded
my crutches, and received a severe fall for my
pains. This so retarded my recovery that |
became disheartened, and gave up taking
Pink Pills, SO great was my encouragement.

SUPPORT OF THE WIFE.

Section 105 of the Civil Code now
the husband to provide for his wife
the common necessaries of life, he hav-
ing the ability to do SO; or it is the
failure to do SO by reason of idleness,
profiigacy or dissipation" The Com
mittee ON Revision of Codes has intro
duoed Assembly bill COL, by which il
is proposed to add to the section quoted
these words: I'm no case shall the fact
that the wife earns her own living af-
feet the question of willful neglect on
the part Of the husband"
Let us see how that will work, and
what there is for and against it. Here
is a wife-and we are stating an actual
case-who resolves to make her own
living. The husband and wife have q
good home and a comfortable income;
indeed, the husband has means in
plenty and in store. His desire is that
his wife remain at home and care fol
the household She on the contrary
goes into employment or business tc
make money. Whereupon he declines
to furnish the necessaries of life.
On the other hand here is q husband
able to work and capable of making a
good living for his family and himself
but who refuses to do SO and wastes
his time in idleness. The wife of neces-
sity is driven TO told for wages to sup
port herself. and sues her husband foi
his neglect
Under the proposed amendment he
cannot set up the defense that she is
making her own living and does not
need his support. Indeed. we incline t
the belief that such was the interpre-
tatiOn of the law under the section as
It now stands. But there are twc
sides to the question the amendment
presents. and it excites some quiet in
terest 10 think upon them.
