No greater contrast could possibly be
imagined than that which existed be-
tween the Bismarck of private life and
the Bismarck of politics. Gin the home

knew him we'll, she was perfectly
charming, easy going and good natured.
He was passionately fond of children,
and I have seen him over and over again
have game with the little ones Of his
gardener, who were very familiar with
him and would not hesitate to climb
upon his knee.
"Once when his gardener little girl
died the great statesman went to con-
dole with him. He was dreadfully up
set and while holding the poor fathers
hand burst into tears, for he was very
fond Of the child. He kissed the little
corpse and himself placed bunch of
roses in its hand. He was always eager
to assist his poorer neighbors and en-
joyed chatting with them on all sub
jects but politics These he never men,

A Really Historical Novel.

To produce so called historical novel
has been attempted by many, but with
Indifferent success by the majority, SO
far as history is concerned. Alike the
best known and the most successful
authors Of this class are Scott, Kings
ley and Lytton. In grouping books of
this type in an order Of merit based on
their historical worth, it cannot be de-
MED that 'tThe Last Of the Barons''
should be awarded the first place, with
Henry .Esmond'' and ''Hereward the
Wake" bracketed as second. Victor

Professor Morse, the inventor Of the.

Daguerre's wonderful pictures. In de-

THE ENGLISH NOT PROFANE,

AtGA0 b30 Language In London Outslds
Of Petticoat Lane.
Little rough or rude language is used
by the English. They even fight with
out swearing and get very drunk and.
noisy without employing strong Ian
guage. They love to chaff and guy each
other, and the crowds and the street
people who drive horses and peddle
goods and hang about the corners are
great deal Whittier than most of us give
them credit for being, but they seldom
resort to bad language never heard
much Of it until ! went to Petticoat
lane, and I know woman who has
lived here two years and been constant
ly about town who tells me that in that
time she has only heard one oath from
an Englishman's lips. The worst word
heard in Petticoat lane was s bloody
That, however, is the worst word I
could have heard-in English opinion
it is the foulest word there is. have
only heard one man use it and he did
not speak it. He was very angry, and
hespelled it. .
am telling you this because know
that at home in America we associate
it with the English and put it in Eng
1ishmen's mouths in our anecdotes, as
If it were matter of course that it
should be used to give local color to
an English story. Americans come here
and make use Of the word for the comic
value that they attach to it, and yet
assure my readers that if they tried to
think Of any really disgusting term they
had ever heard and made use Of instead
they could not more startle OF shock
these English ears.
English sailors have brought the
word "bloody'' to our shores sailors
and prizefighters and stablemen, and
only such persons cling to. it here.
What we consider. very much fouler
word has vastly wider circulation,
but is not considered as bad as
"bloody." All this is very strange and
requires native to explain it, especial
ly as "bloody" is merely the contrac-
ton Of the oath .@'by our Lady," which
was more or less commonly used in the
ancient days when this was q Roman
Catholic country. 800
The people who try to swear without
swearing-who in our country say
"hully chee'' and "by .cripes," all use
the word "blooming' over here. II
can't very bloomin we'll make you buy
this bloomin thing, but I'll ave
bloomin try at it, is what I heard
street fakir say to crowd the other
day. There is no harm in that at all,
and it is much more typically English
than the word "bloody,'' besides being
decent.
1t is funny what mistakes nations
make about one another. Over here the
very smart thing in reporting the speech
of us Americans is to make us all and
always call ourselves 'Amurricans. It
may be true Of US. This whole nation
believes it. But never heard an Amer
lean SO pronounce the name of our coun-
try, and yet I've got quick linguistic
ear, which is thing the English utter
ly lack.-Julian Ralph in Providence

"Three Are Republicans -

The Minneapolis Tribune of Tuesday
last contains tie following dispatch
from Dea1wood:
'In all probability Kirk Phillips
will contest the election Of Lee as
governor, in three counties of the
state, namely, Pennington, COdington
and BrOOkings. In Pennington
county the contest will be made on
the fact that the Silver Republicans
held no regular county convention,
and therefore Mr. Phillips will show,
had no legal right to place their ticket
in the field. A similar contest will
be made in Brookirgs county. In
Codington county Mr.. Phillips prom
ises good fight on some teChniCality.
The supreme court of the state is com
posed Of three Republicans.
OF course Phillips has a perfect
right to contest the election if he SO
chooses, but what the REGISTER
objects to is the closing clause Of the
dispatch. "The supreme court of the
state is composed Of three Republi-
cans" This is an intimation that
even the supreme bench of the state
is so partisan that they will be biased
in their decision, if not why does the
correspondent at Phillips home attach
so much Importance to the fact that
"three are Republicans" This has
been, is, and will continue to be the
curse of state politics and politicians.
They do not hesitate to enter the
sacred precincts Of justice as partisans
to carry the day. So long as polite
ians can corrupt the courts of justice
what can be expected of the ordinary
ever day individual?
If Phillips received the most votes
then he should be declared elected.
If Oh the other hand Gov. Lee has
been fortunate enough to receive the
most votes, which is admitted by all,
then the people demand that he be
given his seat. If our supreme court
is so prejudiced and so partisan that
they cannot be fair and impartial
then surely, as the Canton News says,
it is time there was reorganization
of the Republican party and a thor
ough cleansing given our courts of
justice.
Such intimations of corruptness as
advanced by the correspondent, is
nauseating and the REGISTER cannot
believe that the supreme judges will
be so narrow-minded and shOrt-sight-
ed as"to allow party prejudices to bias
their decision in this matter if placed
before them. This is not a political
question, it is ayquestion of right or
wrong.
