II Might Have Been,

Senator Robert Handy still claims that
HIN. Anthony Higgins would have been
re-clcUted to the U. S. Senate three years
40, had the votes cast for Col. Henry A.
Dupont been changed to Mr.. Higgins
when tho four supporters of Mr.. Addicks
vrtod for Mr.. Higgins. We were surpris-
D. at the tme that the advocates OF the
alection Of Mr.. Higgins did not make this
change of votes, as thereby the sincerity
Of Mr.. Handy and his bakers would have
b.en tested, and that they were rsslly in
favor of Mr. Addicks or nobody would
havs been conclusivc'y proven. At any
rate it was q misfortune that EapuhlicaE
Senator was not olsctsd, Al the evils fol.
lowing in its train trs mora numerous
than those that followed the opening Of
PandGras box Had u cont romisa been
effected, our State would havo been solll-
ly Republican, but it now seems thut it
will become solidly Democratic unless tho
members Of that party shall divide on the
money question and the choice Of leaders.
The advocates of the FREQ coinage Of sill
Bayard, Gray and other advocates OF tho
gold standard will have to sacrifice their
convictions or leave the procession Wa
have hoped and still hope that the Repub
licaus Of our State may unite OH tho same
candidates and if they cannot undo tho
mischief that has been done, labor in
good faith to prevent the commission of
other outrageous political acts.
WHO is responsible for the mutiny that
has been going on in the ranks of the Re-
publican party? In Ohio the same old fight
took place thaa knocked Delaware out Of

l am going to make very stout rope.
You know that sometimes a ropemaker
will take very small threads and wind
them together until after awhile they
become ship cable. And | am going to
take some very small, delicate threads
and wind them together until they
make a very stout rope. | will take all
the memories of the marriage day, a
thread Of laughter, thread of light,
thread of music, thread Of banquet
ing, thread of congratulation, and l
twist them together, and | have one
strand Then l take thread of the
hour of the first advent in your house,
a thread of the darkness that preceded,
and thread of the light that followed,
and thread of the beautiful scarf that
little child used to wear when she
bounded out at eventide to greet you,
and then thread of the beautiful dress
in which you laid her away for the res
direction, and then | twist all these
threads together, and | have another
strand. Then l take thread of the soar
let robe of suffering Christ, and a
thread of the white raiment of your
loved ones before the throne, and q
string of the harp cherubio. and string
of the harp seraphic, and l twist them
all together and have third strand.
"Oh, you say, "either strand is strong
enough to hold fast world" No. l
will take these strands, and l will twist
them together, and one end of that rope
| will fasten, not to the communion ia
BILE, for it shall be removed-not to the
pillar of the organ, for that will crum-
BILE in the ages-but I wind it round and
round the cross Of sympathizing
Christ, and having fastened one end Of
the rope to the cross l throw the other
end to you Lay hold Of it'll Pull for

The Cretan Flag.

To the number of countries having
national f1ags-their number is now
more than l06-is to be added Crete,
the patriotic Cretans believing that the
selection of flag should precede rather
than follow autonomy. The formal &C.
ceptance of the Cretan flag was made at
the monastery of Arkadi, on the scene
of the stand made by the patriotic Gre
tans against the Turkish soldiery in the
ievolt of 1866.
The Cretan flag is to show black
tross upon a white ground, symbolic
"of the mourning of Crete for the con-
tinued postponement of her national as
pirations. White and black on a flag
is not an approved combination, except
among pirates, and for that reason the
Cretan flag, at some sacrifice of SYM
metry, has been further embellished by
q second and smaller cross in the left
hand upper corner. a white cross ON a
blue ground. the Greek colors. The por-
ton of the flag occupied by the Greek
oolors is symbolic of the hope Of ulti-.
mate consolidation of Crete with Greece

WlLHELM'S DREAM.
The Emperor of Germany Thinks He Is
King of England.

The Emperor OF Germany thinks ne Is
King of England.
1t is rather curious to outsiders, writes
the London correspondent of The Times
Herald, and wholly unpleasant to the
queen to know that the German emperor
regards himself as the rightful successor
to England's throne. This is matter
rarely spoken of, though perfectly we'll
realized at court, and it is strenuous
reason against her majesty's ever abdi-
eating in favor of the Prince of Wales.
So when next you hear that she med
itates such step do not believe it. She
is safe to do nothing of the kind, though
she lives to 100 years. The erratio Ger
man emperor bases his claim on the not
unnatural assumption that his mother,
born princess royal and eldest child of
Queen Victoria, is heir to that mothers
crown, and he her immediate successor.
Ii is said that the kaiser is wildly in
dignant because his mother will not
press her claim and take her rightful
place as the future sovereign of England.
That the Prince Of Wales is not the
Prince of Wales, but that the kaiser is
that as we'll as emperor of Germany, he
has fully decided in his own mind.
When the time comes for his conten-
tion, it is scarcely probable that he will
hold his peace. OF course it is not for
moment to be supposed that England
would endure William for it's king.
But the case is knotty one upon whirh
even the constitutional lawyers cannot
agree.
While the queen remains sovereign
this family unpleasantness is not likely
to arise, but when she abdicates or diey
there is pretty sure to be an uncomfort-
able time for all parties concerned.
Still, the English are certain to reject
the kaiser, even though England has to
resolve itself into republic and then
choose Albert Edward to be its ruler.
Quite as strange things as this have
happened in the history of the world
and may chance again. In spite Of ru.
mors and raillery of the press in bygone
times the Prince of Wales is we'll liked
in the United Kingdom.
Moreover, the English temper would
not bear the German emperor's ideas of
"leze majesty. Here one may discuss
the princes debts or the queens penu-
robustness, and nobody interferes or
minds w the least. In Germany one
may not mention the kaiser's name dis
respectfully, because even the walls
have spying eyes and listening ears, and
"leze majesty" is sorely punishable
German students, am told, are driven
to abiding to his mightiness as Herr
Johannes Schmitt" or Squire Memo"
in order to save themselves from punish
ment for anything that may be con-
strued as 'leze majesty" In short,
there is no such thing as freedom of
speech in the German empire, and such
an active, inquisitive, curious man is
William that, it is said, he keeps care
fully posted on everything that goes on
in our country as we'll as his own.
