PARNELL'S LITTLE ROMANCE.

There is one authentic anecdote about
the late Mr. Parnell, the Academy says
which has probably never reached his
biographer's ear, and which is now put
into print for the first time. 1t relates to
the days before Parnell went into Parlia-
meht, and when, as a very smart young.
man, caring much more for dress than he
afterward did, he paid long visit to
America, and made himself very popular
in society. In one city he encountered
girl whom he thought delightful. In the
running for her Parnell came in easily
first and the engagement was formally
announced. One night, however, at a
dance Parnell came up to the lady as she
was sitting out with one of his former
rivals. "Oh, you are here" he said,
"but you promised the last two dances to
me-" ooh, no." said she. "Oh, yes,"
said he; and with that he appealed to the
third person present in confirmation.
That authority wavering, was angrily
told by Parnell to speak the truth. A
scene followed, also challenge, but the
duel was never fought. The friends of
all parties interviewed, the engagement
was broken off, Parnell returned to Ire
land and took to politics.

Our Frankfort friends are no
sooner through with one election
than they begin to get ready for
another. The race for Legislator
is attracting attention, and many
prominent citizens are spoken of
and urged to enter the contest,
among them Mr.. Pat Mcdonald, of
the Western Argus. With due re-
spect to all others, Mr.. Mcdonald
would make a live, hustling and
faithful representative, and our
Frankfort folks could find no bet
ter. Send Pat to the Legislature
and he will be fully able to give a
good account of his stewardship.

Much as one rejoices over the
election of his party candidate, nc
honest man will fail to condemn the
barefaced partisanism and stupidity
of the Bracken county Election
Commissioners in throwing 6ut the
entire vote of the Berlin precinct
and DISTINGUISHING several hundred
voters, and, indeed, the maj ority of
the voters in the Ninth Congress
sional district, on the technicality
that the electian officers closed the
polls for dinner. The result in the
Congressional district (the Ninth
is so close that on the full returns
Pugh, Republican, had II majority,
and by throwing out the Berlin pre-
cinct, which gave Pugh twenty ma
jority, Williams, Democrat, is given
a majority of eight votes in the en-
tire district. The injustice is so
clear that no one can justify it, and
the stupidity of it is that it will
fail, as Congress will most certainly
seat Pugh, and the odium of such
proceedings must be borne by the
Democratic party. 1t is much bet
ter to go down in honorable defeat
than win by methods which no de-
cent man can defend.

justice to Russia and other Cont
mental powers that the consistent
friendship they maintained toward
the United States throughout every
period of the war, and continue to
maintain toward this Government,
should not be obscured by any
sentimental fiction as to the excep-
tional friendship of one nation and
the enmity of others.
Another attache of the Russian
embassy said:
"The statement that Russia would join
any coalition, European or Asiatic,
against the United States in the Philip
pine affair, is made without the least
knowledge of the policy lately formulated
by the foreign officers at St. Petersburg.
This policy, far from having hostile
designs against this country, was adopted
for the purpose of drawing the traditional
ties of friendship more closely. The
United States is the neighbor of Asiatic
Russia on the east-the only neighbor
our great country has Of whose integrity
and friendship we are certain.
Russia and the United States have no
rival aspirations; therefore, we form our
plans always counting on the United
States as counter-balancing force
against European intrigues.
Russia hopes one day to dominate the
Old World, just as she hopes to see the
United States control the new. But Rus
STA always hopes for the commercial help
this continent can give her. The dream
of our economists always has been that
with the opening of the Siberian railroad
the Pacific ocean would become a great
highway of commerce, carrying to your
Western States the vast wealth of the
Indies, China, Japan and the trans-Cas-
plan countries.
"The Russian Government has planted
in the Siberian countries one of the most
wonderful colonies in the history of col
onization. It's choice of this location was
determined by the assurance that the
United States, faithful to traditions,
would promote its success by co-operat-
ing with us commercially.
Russia would infinitely prefer that
the Philippines should pass into the
hands of any strong government capable
of maintaining law and order than that
the recent conditions should be restored.
Since we wish any sovereignty there
rather than Spanish, does it not seem
inconsistent that we should object to the
United States, on which we place our
main reliance?
Nothing would please Russia more
than to have the territory of the United
States come nearer the Asiatic shore.
The circumstance of the conquest, the
nature of the aboriginal population, the
political status of the islands, all demand
that the United States shall keep what
was CALAMITY won by an admirable navy.
Russia would be the last country 20 OBJ
ject to Americas keeping territory won
in an honorably conducted war"

They were met in the'parlor by the groom

the ceremony was performed under

ENGLAND'S HYPOCRICY EX-
POSED.

"England's great friendship for
America" manifested during the
war with Spain, and made the basis
of all the gush and toadyism of
those who advocate an Anglo
American alliance, turns out to be
a fake, or a bit of diplomatic lying
to attain purpose-a very old
English trick. The great love of
England for America attested by
her refusal to join the European
powers in intervening in behalf of
Spain in the war with this country
has been heralded as a great service
in Our behalf which deferred all
Europe from aiding Spain and COM
PEELED the observance of neutrality,
which left Spain to fight it out alone
and get worsted Alas, but truth
overtakes and exposes the falsifer
and hypocrite. The European pow
ers never proposed Intervention in
the war, and England did not, as
she could not, by her refusal to
participate, prevent what was never
proposed.
This announcement is made by
the Russian Minister at Washing
ton, and it is plain that his state
ment has the full concurrence of
the other European powers. This
statement has not been published
by the Anglo American press,
though they continue to praise
England's Friendly act" and criti-
else the alleged unfriendliness" of
other European governments to-
ward America, as a result of SPANS
appeals to them against the demand
for the surrender of the Philippine
islands-an appeal that was never
made.
Count Cassini, the Russian AM
bassador, says that Russia naturally
felt much interest in the status of
the Philippines owing to their close
proximity to the eastern possessions
of that empire. There was no war
rant, however, he said, for the re-
ports coming from Paris that Rus
STA had been appealed to by Spain
with a view to limiting the claims
of the United States in the Philip
pines. No such appeal had been
made to Russia or to other foreign
governments.
Throughout the recent war Rus
STA has maintained the most friend
ly attitude toward the United States
and the Ambassador said that he
did not doubt this would have
good effect in continuing the firm
friendship which has so long exist
ed between Russia and the United
States.
III this connection Count Cassini
took occasion to join issue with the
prevailing view that England show
ed her conspicuous friendship for
the United States during a critical
state in the war with Spain by de-
Ginning to join the great powers of
Europe in a move for intervention.
The Ambassador says he has heard
this report frequently, and it seems
to be accepted in this country as a
part of the history of the recent
war, and as the basis for much APP
plause for England at the expense
of the old great powers of Europe. |
But Count Cassini says that no
such action on the part of Great
Britain ever took place, and that
the impeachment of the continued
friendliness of the other powers is
due to a misrepresentation of the
facts. AT no time, he says, was
there purpose on the part of the
great powers to intervene against
the action of the United States, so
that there never was an occasion
for such display of English friend
ship in checking the designs of the
great powers as is generally pre-
scented
