DENMARK.

The Westminster Gazette has given
eight reasons why the Princess of
Wales suddenly went to Denmark: 1st,
She wanted to settle some domestic
differences between Prince Carl and
her daughter, Princess Maude. I'd,
She wanted to settle the quarrel be-
tween the Russian ambassador in Pek-
ing, Mr.. Pawlow, and the English am
bassador, Sir Claude Mcdonald. Sd,
The king of Denmark is not we'll 4th,
The queen of Denmark is ill. 5th, The
prince of Wales is himself sick. 9Th,
Copenhagen is a pleasanter place than
Cowes to live in August. 7th, There
was no reason why the princess should
not go. sth, The princess had posi-.
lively made up her mind to go, and
she is not obliged to explain her move
ments to anybody. This treatment is
cruel enough, but the Westminster
Gazette is wholly eclipsed by those
London papers who wired all over the
world that the princess of Wales had
to 60 to Denmark because her mother,
Queen Louise Of Denmark, had lost
her reason. ..s: !. ... . r. Re- .5 BIZ

z Parliamentary Candidate Is Allowed a
Certain Latitude of Independence.

q Parliamentary Candidate Is Allowed a
Certain Latitude of Independence.
Let US suppose that the Birmingham
Liberal association, for instance, is anx-
ious to secure a candidate to contest one
of the parliamentary divisions of the
city. The members of the committee,
most of them solid business men, who
are in politics ''for their health, and
who neither ask for nor desire any re-
ward, meet TO discuss the situation. If
it happens that any local Liberal of
prominence and good standing is avail
able, an invitation is sent TO him TO
stand for the constituency. If net. a
conference is held with the central as
sociation in London, on whose books are
the names of most of the aspiring Lib
erals IN the country. The candidate ar
riyes in Birmingham and issues his adj
dress to the electors. Here, again, one
notices a contrast with the cast iron ri
gidity of the American system. \ candi-
date for congress or a state governorship
is supposed TO have no private opinions
whatever. He is put forward as the
party's representative and has to swal
low the party's programme, whether he
likes or not. An English candidate is
not called upon to sacrlhCe SO much TO
his country's welfare. He is allowed q
certain latitude of Independence. Our
Birmingham candidate, for instance,
knows, of course, what are the main
tenets of the Liberal faith, but he need
not necessarily subscribe to all its arti-
cles. With the gregarious instinct of
politicians. the odds are that he will
not differ from them on any material
point. But he may, and still be the
party candidate. He makes his own lit
tie platform and runs On it to suit him
self. -Chautauquan.
