Europe's Great Matchmaker

Queen Louise, of Denmark, who recent
ly passed away at Copenhagen at the
ripe old age of eighty-tWo years, en-
joyed the distinction of being the great
est Of royal matchmakers Indeed,
such was the pronounced success which
attended her efforts in this direction
that she was facetiOusly termed the
m0ther-in-laW Of Europe.
OF course Queen Louise did not employ
her talen in the furtherance of mar
riages beyond those of her own immedi-
ate household. Size found her lime
fully occupied there without guing any
further Heaven blessed her with six
fine children, in whom her royal Joys
centered; and while King Christian TX
busted himself with the affairs Of the
kingdom over which he ruled, Queen
Louise devoted herself to tho nurture
OF her children and to the perfection of
her matrimonial schames. With shrewd
tact and wise diplomacy she addressed
herself to the problems which grew up
around her fireside.
When the last of her children had
been safely launched upon the matri-

THE War and the Navy.

1t Is evident thdl l1e men aC the heao
or our navy propose to "oilt from the
lessons taught by the war experience
through which they have gone. The re-
cent awards Tor the construction OF thfee
new battleshlpS demonstrate that II IS
the purpose OF those IN charge OF naVaL
construction to keep fully abreast OF the
times in all respects, and the speclllca-
uonS under winch these awards are
made show a realization OF the value OF
high speed even In the batJleshp, which
the Oregon III particular taught the
world.
The battle Of Santiago showed the
world that speed, heavy armor and great
gun power are the three requisites OF
the successful hShtlng vessel. Construc-
tors have been agreed as to the last
two of these requisites, but there has
been doubt about the necessity for speed
in a battleship the theory being that
the cruisers could do all the running
necessary; that the battleship should be
designed more for defense than for pur-
suit Of an enemy.
That may have been all right In the
ory, but the Oregon showed the great
value of speed in the actual business of
fighting Had it not been for the speed
of that stanch ship some of Ceryera' S
ships would have got away, Had it not
been for the extraordinary speed shown
in her run around South America, there
would have been no Oregon in that
splendid contest

satisfaction of knowing that she had not
only found royal partners for each OF
her children, but that she had linked
herself with the destinies OF almost every
throne in Europe. Let US briefly scan

married Prince Ernest August, duke OF
Cumberland. Prince Waldcmar, who
was born on October 27, 1858, married
Princess Marie d'Orleans, eldest daugh-

the record of marriage made by this
greatest of matchmallors. No other
royal mother in Europe ever before
made such brilliant matches for her

American Interests in China.

The announcement that an American
syndicate has just been granted one of
the most valuable railroad concessions
that has yet been given by the authori-
ties OF China has q natural tendency to
draw attention to the possibilities of
China as Il field for American enter
prise,
This syndicate. Of which ex-senator
Calvin s. Brice is the head, has been
granted the right for the construction of
& railroad through one of the most pop
uIous sections of the Chinese empire un-
der terms which are regarded by cap
italtsts as exceedingly liberal. The
American company is composed Of men
of wealth, and judging by the names Of
those connected with the enterprise, it
will not fail for any lack of funds.
This movement is Of general interest
not 50 much in itself as from what it
may mean as the pioneer American en-
terprise Of magnitude in the Chinese
empire. While the great value of Chi
ma has all the time been understood by
the business men Of European nations
used to handling great enterprises, our
consular representatives in China have
had little success In making American

Then there is the matter of armor
There is no doubt that the government
was made to pay a much too high
price for its armor in many instances
but there seems to have been no ground
for the oft-repeated charge that the ar
NOR put upon the ships was rotten and
incapable of meeting the requirements.
Another fallacy laid bare by the war
was that of inefficient machinery. In
time of peace We heard 50 much about
the minor accidents to the machinery OF
the ships. We were led to believe that
when called upon for active service they
would be incapacitated by the break
downs AS a matter of fact, the ships
themselves seem to have forgotten all
the ills of peace in the excitement OF
actual warfare, and if there was break
down Of any serious character in any OF
the ships we do not recall it.
In a word, our fighting ships have
shown that they could fight. They have
demonstrated that we have made an ex-
celent beginning in our navy. This
warfare showed what was good and
gave our constructors valuable object
lessons That we are to take no back
ward step in naval development is GER
tain, nor must we take a backward step
in naval construction. The navy has
brought great honor to itself and the
country, and has demonstrated its su-
preme usefulness.
In the conditions which the war has
brought about-the addition of outlying
territOry-the need of a first-class navy
has been demonstrated beyond the pos
sbility of argument. For its size, our
navy is today equal to the best. 1t
must always be that. In the construc-
tion OF other CLASSES of ships as we'll as
of batt1cships, our constructors must al
ways keep abreast of the times. Congress
will sustain them in this, and the people
Will sustain congress. There are no
two opinions on that score. The people
have seen for themselves the great val
ne of a navy; they Will not cOuntenance
in the future the false economies or pol
iticians willing to make record Tor
themselves at the expense of the navy.

Two little fellows, as fair and sweet
AS roses that bloom at an ANGELS feet:
And the griefs at the heart. and the tears
in the eye
AS one leans in the darkness to kiss them
goodbyi
AS he faces the gloom OF the desolate years
And only can give them his love and his
tears!
Two little fellows, whose violet eyes
Held glimpses of heaven--of lovelier skies
Two little fellows; and what shall they
know
The roses of life, or the winters wild snow?
The cares and the fears of the desolate
years
And nothing to give them but ones love
and tears?
Two little felloWs-but may they rest
Where once they were called-to the peace
OF His breast
Who, treading all ways of life's desolate
days.
Shed over the darkness Gods heavenly
rays.
SO, what of the cares of the desolate years7
He shall kiss from their eyes all the grief

Arkansas and Vermont.

Those PEOPLE who fancied that the re-
turns from Arkansas and Vermont would
AFFORD soma basis for calculating as to the
general result in November find them
selves disappointed. The democrats have
carried their own and the republicans their
own. The Dutch are still in possession of
Holland The vote was light. The people
seem not to have been stirred to any un-
Usual extent by The appeals that were
made to them. A midsummer campaign
however. is hardly to be expected to create
tumultuoGs enthusiasm.
The contest for national control this year
is Eot in the south or east. but In the west
and In the northwest. where as yet, the
situation is neSulous. The south as usual
will go democratic; not on the money issue
particularly, or on any issue connected
with or growing out of the war. but on its
old. reliable standby-the race issue. The
bare labeIing of the tickets will be suffi-
Gent to carry the democratic tickets
through. The republicans will carry their
eastern strongholds on the money issue
Maine will follow Vermont in sending a
solid republican delegation to Congress
But in the west and the northwest there IS
room for the playing of some shrewd and
energetic politics. and from this time on
we may expect lively times in those quar-
tErs-
Forecasting the result there is next TO
impossible. The silver forces have effected
a few fusiOns. but overtures to that end
have been rejected in other cases, ard a
mist OF uncertainty and bad humor envel-
ops the scene This may be dissipated as
the campaign progresses. Or il may
thicken- The tone OF the sound money men
Is clear and courageous. and this ought to
count at the polls.
The effort to make the administration
responsible for the climate of Cuba and for
the existence of fever in soldiers camps
here at home is not promising 1t will not
bear examination. The allegations are not
legitimate campaign material The suffer
ings of the men who went to Cuba and
those who stood ready to go may not with
any sort of justice or propriety be used to
influence voters in the matter Of domestic
policies
Arkansas and Vermont have decided
nothing but their own local affairs. The
national campaigns are really Just opening.
and material for prophecy is scarce.
