This imperial visit, coupled with the
fact that the King and Queen of Italy
also harbor the idea of coming to Eng

brilliant social functions for the Lon
don season of 1899.
Queen Victoria Is disposed to end the
discussion as to whether she will pass
the spring on the Riviera, in view of
the French unpleasantness, by defn-
itely engaging apartments at Cimiez

understood that her majesty will re-

in Great Britain and Greece, and there
are no reasons of state against the
marriage, which would strengthen the
Princes position as high commission

it is hoped that the union will assist
him in his ambition to become Prince
of Crete

London. December 3.-There has
been a fiutter of expectation among
society people over the announcement
that Emperor William of Germany has
allowed the fact to become known that
he will pay visit to England next
summer, unless unforeseen circum-
stances arise. The better relations be-
tween Great Britain and Germany
which have recently been established
the "anti Kaiser" feeling which ex-
listed in Great Britain since the En-
peror's notorious dispatch to President
Kruger, of the Transvaal, congratulat-
ing him upon the suppression of the
Jamison raid. and there is little doubt
that he will receive welcome rivaling
that of his former visits,
The dispatch referred to was sent
about January 2, 1896, and read:
Il express my sincere congratula-
lions that, supported by your people
and without appealing for help to
friendly powers, you have succeeded by
your own energetic action against the
armed bands which invaded your coun-
try as disturbers of the peace, and have
thus been enabled to restore peace and
safeguard the independence of your
country against attacks from outside"
On his arrival here, which is timed,
according to report, for July next, En-
peror William, who will remain until
the middle of August. proposes to visit

import Democrat has been the foremost
democratic newspaper in Iowa. Its late
euitor' ID. N. Richardson, who died last
summer, was one OF its founders ard
through good report and evil report
neid steadfastly TO the principles of
'enersonian democracy. It's present
owner J. ]. Richardson, was for eight
years from 1888 to 1896, the Iowa
member OF the democratic national
committee.
but In 1896 the Democrat could not
swallow the Chicago popocratic plat
form and In that campaign advocated
the principles laid down at Indianapo-
lis. Since that day 1t has striven to

Recognizing the paramount import
ance OF the money question in the con-
sressional elections. the editor OF the
Democrat has propounded two ques-
tons to the local candidates for con-
gress as follows:

congress from the Second Iowa district,

the money question. can support the
gold standard"
MR. LANE. THE REPUBLICAN
CANDIDATE ANSWERED AT ONCE:
ITO THE FIRST PROPOSITION
SAY NO: TO THE SECOND PRoPo-
sITIoN SAY YES"
For the first time In its long and
honorable career the Davenport Demo-
crat will support a republican for con-
gress. and indeed must do so in order
TO maintain Its own consistency as a
democratic newspaper.
Mr.. Lane will also have the support
OF the sound money democrats of his
district. and they are more numerous
there than In any other part OF the
state. That he will be elected there is
no reason TO doubt II the honest money
voters will only turn out.
There is no party politics in this
campaign so far as the congressional
election is concerned. The only issue
before the people is that comprised in
the questions proposed by the Daven-
port Democrat II is a business issue
and goes TO the welfare and prosperity
Of all the people, republican and demo-
orst alike. Every candidate through
out the land ought TO be asked to an
swer the same questions. and. whether

ported according TO his answer.
