Emperor William wished for an invitation
to France as a preliminary to visiting the
exposition in 1900, and it is said there was
an idea OF sending squadron to salute him
in French waters, but the chamber of depu-
ties displayed such strong feeling that the
idea was abandoned

ENGLAND AND AMERICA.

We Americans are a fairly capable
and adaptable race. Some new
things we can teach the world; nay,
we have done it already. But some
other things we are not so good at.
England could give us some points
in municipal government; our cities
are scarcely so we'll managed as
Manchester and Birmingham. Eng
land prepares her diplomatists by
natural selection and systematic rain
ing: we trust the fitness of ours to
luck. She has standards of public
characte. and conduct in office: it is
questionable whether we have any.
She cultivates and defers TO expert
opinions on finance, politicaleconomy
and the like: we hold "prctessors
and theorists" in some contempt,
and consider mans notionas good
as another's. When new dangers
and duties confront us, our happy
go-lucky temper recalls the man in
Dickens who "supposed" he could
play the fiddle; he had never tried.
Now Britain can as arule rely on
the qualities needed in any OF her
public servants. 1t is that English
men are naturally better or brighter
than Americans; they and we are
built on the same foundations; but
they are trained for their work
they have to be. It's not so long
since appointments with them came
by patronage and "pulls," much as
with us now; but they found 1t ex-
pedient to substitute merit system.
That system has had good deal to
do with England's prosperity and
progress, with her recent atrides to-
ward widened empire, with her pres
ent greatness-Frederic NJ. Bird,
in September Lippincotfs.

No Tax on Marriages.
Interesting Decision That A.
fects Those Who Will Wed.

A. ID. Stauffer, clerk of the Or
phans' Court of Northampton coun-
ty has received the following letter
in answer to letter of inquiry, re-
lative to the taxing of marriage IL
censes, from the Office of Internal
Revenue at Washington:-
"Sir:-In reply to your inquiry,
relative to taxing marriage license
certificates, you are informed that
this Office holds that neither the H.
cense nor certificates are subject or
liable to the stamp tax under the
provision ofthe act ofJune l3, 1898.
The basis of opinion seems TO be
that as the whole fabric of society
rests ON marriage, the State is only
protecting her own future in throw
ing guards around marriage, and
therefore, such licenses and certiG-
Gates are exempt. / should have
had an official opinion written for
you, but there are $500 awaiting
such answers now, and SO it would
be some days before yours would fall
in line"
The decision from the Department
at Washington is at variance with
that given by Revenue Collector
McClain, sent to the effect that min.
listers must put 10 cent stamp Oh
the certificate.

Holland and Its Girl-Queen.

"No wonder the painters love
Holland. Pictures, pictures every
where, in sky and land and sea-"
writes Edward A. Steiner in the Sep
tember IVoman's Home Companion,
in an article entitled "The Fair
Girl-Queen of Holland" "Whether
YOU see them from the sea or from
the land, from the avenue or the al
ley, always beautiful, always pic
turesque in sunshine, in rain, in
storm and in calm, always pleasing
to the eve. 1t is soothing beauty !;
not grand as the mountains, not vast
and terrible as the sea, but quiet
like lullaby.
"The crown of the Netherlands is
safe in Wilhemina's Keeping. Large
her domain wilinever be, but always
great. Her armies and fortresses
are small and few, but the homes
are pure and clean, and the people
contented and peace-loving. Mod
est, lowly, yet beautiful and great
in this little country, in which for
centuries the people have battled
with the ocean and with tyrants, and
have conquered both. The traveller
is amazed in the spotless pavements,
the well-kept farms and shining
houses but this eternal cleanliness
is only the outward manifestation OF
the character and history ofthe peo-
pie. Hollands history is as clean
as its village streets, and the influ-
ence Of the Dutch has extended
around the world. Over this coun-
try the young queen is about to be.
gin her reign under the happiest and
most promising of auspices. In the
plain old kirk in which the corona
ton ceremonies are to take place
Wilhelmina will take the oath in the
words prescribed by custom, vowing
to defend and preserve with all hel
power the independenceand territor,
of the kingdom, to protect the gen.
eral and individual Liberties Of heI
subjects, and to employ all themean'
placed within her power by the con.
stitution to maintain and promote the

IHeTeRRI T0RlAl POLICY OF THE
UNITED STATES, NEW AND OLD.

The one point lin which the foreign
policy of the United States has been,
from the very beginning of the his
tory of the Republic, steadily and
uniformly consistent, has been the
avoidance Of all enterprises, Of all
responsibilities, all Intervention OF
any kind, beyond the limits Of the
two American continents. The ad-
vice delivered by George Washing
ton in his memorable farewell ad-
dress of 1796-the fruit of a emin-
emily calm, sagacious, and dispas-
sionate judgment-expressed in
terms of impressive weight and
moderation, produced a pro-
found effect upon the nation, and
has been ever since regarded with
the kind of veneration which dutiful
children attach to the last words OF
a father. The views contained in
President MonrOe's famous message
of 1923 expressly excluded the idea
of American interference in Euro
pean complications; and though
these views have never been formally
adopted by Congress, the message
has been practically recognized as
embodying the settled purpose OF
the nation. Attempts repeatedly
made to go beyond the line indicated
in these two documents have been
defeated. For instance, President
Grants plan of annexing San DOM
lingo (lS7O-lS73) hadto be dropped;
and when, a few years ago, an Am
erican diplomatist had taken part in
the negotiations for the settlement of
the new Congo Statein West Africa,
the United States government with
held its signature from the final act,
conceiving that any engagementsre-
lating to Africa lay outside the ira
ditional sphere of American action.
So when, in and since 1895, ques-
tions affecting trade in China have
come up which might have been
very important to the United States,
it was understood that the adminis-
tration then in office refused to take
part in adjusting them, gladly as
one, at least, OF the European powers
concerned would have welcomed its
intervention. Nothing, in fact, has,
till very recently, seemed more GER
tain than that the United State
would acquire no transmarine terri
tory whatever. But now, within
the last few weeks, a prospect OF
such acquisition has arisen three
quarters, and has arisen under con-
ditions which make it seem more
difficult to reject than to acceptthese
unexpected gifts of fortune.-From
"Some Thoughts on the Policy ct
the United States" by JAMES
BRYCE, in HarpeTs Magazine for
September.
