Hollands youthful queen has begun

Hollands youthful queen has begun
her reign. Wilhelmina is the only
child of the late King William III. The
death of William Alexander Charles
Frederick, Prince of Orange, in June,
1884, left her, then little child, the
heiress of the crown of the Neither
lands. Wilhelmina, by the provisions OF
he Dutch constitution, ascends the
throne, but does not inherit the ducal
crown of Luxembourg belonging to her
father. The young queen rules over a
small country, but one great as de-
fender of human rights and liberties.
May she reign long and prosperously.

A more careful examinat ton was now
made and it was discovered that the
empress had been stabbed to the heart
with stilletto apparently made from
a triangular file. After striking his

eating falsely that he knew no French.
His name was learned by documents
found in his pockets. These showed
that he was born in Paris, of Italian
parents, in 1873, and served in the
Italian army.

laws of Switzerland, suffer anything
more severe tina n lifetime imprison-
ment, even for killing an empress.

CARDINAL MANNING'S VIEW OF the
LAND TAX QUESTION.

Nobody has ever accused Cardi-
nal Manning of being crank ;
still, there is no telling but that
some people may call him that or
worse after reading this extract
from one of his sermons:
1.-The land question means hun
ger, thirst, nakedness, notice to
quit, labor spent in vain, the toll
of years seized upon; the breaking
up of homes; the misery, sickness,
deaths of parents, children, wives /;
the despair and wildness which
spring up in the hearts Of the poor
when legal force, like sharp har-
row, goes over the most sensitive
and vital rights of mankind. All
this is contained in the land and tax
question, and will ever be until it
is settled in the interest Of the peO-
pie, for whom God created the
earth, and not for the benefit of q
favored few"
All Of which is the Gods truth.
Where are your silver and tariff
questions in comparison' Com
pared to it in Importance, these lat
ter questions are like q corn on the
little toe to leprosy all over the
body.

NO MORE OF SPAIN IN the NEW
WORLD.

It will not be enough to drive
Spain out Of Cuba and hand the
island over to the Cuban people and
republican government. Whatever
terms Of peace may be made with
the defeated enemy, they must not
include her continued ownership OF
an inch Of soil on the Western Hemi-
sphere.
This war must end forever the
curse Of Spanish rule in the New
World. 1t is really for this object
that the war has been undertaken,
and the task Of evicting Spain must
be done with absolute completeness.
Spain has ever been tyrant and
despoiler to her colonists, and as u
neighbor to u civilized country like
the United States has become un-
bearable.
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Isle Of
Pines are the last remnants Of the
gigantic patrimony received by her
from the discoverers and conquer
ors, and it is our right and duty to
take these away from her in the in
terest Of humanity.-N. Y. Journal.

Carl Schurz, who was born in
Germany, protests with great deal
Of vigOr against the malevOlence
shown by German newspapers in
their comments regarding the Uni
ted States, and especially in con-
nection with the present war. The
German press has been singularly
bitter and unfair, Influenced no
doubt by owners of Spanish securi-
ties, and this Fact has prompted Mr..
Schurz to write a Berlin newspaper
rs follows:
1.-The German citizens Of the
United States have retained warm
sympathy for the old fstherland,
but if our consangss;nons friends
across the ocean intfnd to eradicate
this sympathy they could find bet
ter means than such grOundless
abuse Of the American people. Ger
man-Americans are proud Of their
new fatherland, and know how to
appreciate it's advantages and great
qualities. Now that war is going
on they stand with their new coun-
try. Its friends are their friends,
and its enemies are their enemies"
This is true, not only Of our Ger
man citizens, but also Of our other
foreignbOrn citizens. Asa general
rule, the foreigner who comes to
this country to make it his home
comes because he prefers it to his
former home, because he prefers its
customs and it's laws, and he soon
grows to prefer its people. The
foreign-born population Of this
country are lOyal.-Stdfes.

HERO OF SANTIAGO.
Resolution OF Thanks to Commodore
Schley.

Washington, July 5.-Represen
tative Berry of Arkansas, member
of the house committee on foreign
affairs, to day introduced the follow
ing joint resolution:
Joint resolution rendering the
thanks of congress to Commodore
Schley, L. $. N, and the officers
and men under his command:
Resolved, That the thanks of con
gress and of the American people
are hereby rendered to Commodore
Schley, L. $. N, and the officers
and men under his command for
their heroic and distinguished con
duet in destroying the Spanish fleet
in Cuban waters on the I'd of july
last.
The resolution was referred to the
naval affairs committee.
Mr.. Berry, in speaking of his re-
solution said: 81 propose that the
officer to whom the glory is due
shall be recognized. Schley is the
real hero Of the incident. He and
the brave band of officers and men
under his immediate direction are
the ones who achieved the victory
and all honor should be given them.
Sampson commands the fleet in
those waters, but it was Commodore
Schley in command, when Cervera
and his fleet made their plucky at
tempt to escape and it was under
Schley that every one of that Span
ish fleet met it's destruction. Schley
and his men have performed Il not
able feat that will go down in his
tory hand in hand with that daring
forcing of Manila harbOr by Dewey
on May | last. Congress should be
promptin recognizing their services,
and there should be no delay in
rendering its thanks and those Of
the country to the real hero of San
tiagO.'
