standing this, the insurgents in the

WHEN the Southern cotton, sugar and
tobacco growers begin to experience
the effect of the competition of the
cheaper labor of Cuba, Porto Rico,
Hawaii and the Philippines, they may
possibly be induced to ask the men they
sent to Congress, why they have sub
jected them to such unnecessary and
injurious competition? It really seems
as if the congressman referred to don't
have common sense enough to know
what is for their own good.

THE London Saturday Review says
America has shown the world to what
depth of public depravity civilization
is capable of descending" This Ger
tainly is not very complimentary to q
country that desires the unity of the
Anglo-Saxon race, but, for all that,
there are many citizens OF the United
States whose personal knowledge OF
their own country compels them, against
their will, to confess that what the Re
view says is based upon facts.

blamed for acting in accordance with
their wishes, in all things.

interfere and go to war with the pow

won't do so, for the powers referred to
have both effective fleets and armies,

A COSTLY ROYAL SCANDAL.

A dispatch from London says: Con-
siderable grumbling is heard because
the public have had the privilege OF
paying upward of $4,000 with no ap-
preciable return for the Duke Of York e
ten weeks holiday as commander OF
the cruiser Crescent. 1t is thought tie
snip was specially commissioned in or.
der to qualify him for promotion, but
he term was not sufficiently long for
that purpose.
Still less defensibie is the dukes at
tachment for beautiful young prin-
cess of German title. Her husband re-
5ented the gossip, and though know
ing that the Irritation was entirely in
nocent, removed the princess during
the London season to his estate in
Germany. The duke became disconso-
late and restlessness seized him. He
hit upon the idea of commissioning the
Crescent as means of diverting his
mind, occupying his time and giving
the domestic unpleasantness time to
simmer down, but the gossip only grew
more general, and to stem the rorren'
the cruise was curtailed and he was met
at every post By the duchess and their
children.
This arrangement was working ex-
cellently when the exiled princess ar
rived at Cowes, whereupon the Ores
cent steamed straight there. The
dukes admiration became more demon
strative than ever. His naval duties
were abandoned: be got tired OF the
Crescent, and the ship was paid of
with a few days notice. When the
adored princess left Cowes the duke
came to London and dptifully depart
ed for Copenhagen with the duchess
and Prince Edward.
