Homer Davenport and Gladstone.

To attain difficult ends. correspondents
have had themselves shut up in prisons
and in Warehouses;. have crossed the ocean
in the steerage, have braved the terrors
OF the cnolerd in hamburg and the plague
in India, and have invaded every lawless
land there is. With them. and with all
others. the deeds they nave done and the
methods they have employed have been
invariably weighed by their own con-
sciences, and so it must. ever be in such
cases The great statesman, Gladstone
on one occasion. took the question out OF
the sphere of the correspondent con-
science and settled it himself 1t was
when Homer Davenport. the cartoonist
from America, went TO Hawarden TO see
the aged chieTtain in order to familiarize
himself with his face and draw it. He
met Mr.. Gladstone on the road near his
house. He told him he was a tourist from
Oregon.
And did you come all the way from
Oregon TO see me?| Mr.. Gladstone in
quired.
Il did. SIR" was Davenport's reply.
Then said the ex-premier. ''ail l can
say is that you must be fond of travel.
Good morning, sir.

following as an indication Of indiffer-
ence concerning the cast-off crown of
France, but no one knows. 1t may be
that Russia, with whose government
Louis is SO popular. may be awaiting
an opportunity to instill a ruler in
France who will not only protect com
merce from periodical eruptions, but
can be counted upon under any and all
circumstances as a friend and ally of
the car.
Another pretender to the DUST
covered throne of France is the Duke
of Orleans. He claims to live in Eng
land but every time there is political
upheaval III France the duke issues a
manifesto from Brussels. that port of
refuge for pretenders. Like Prince
Victor. the duke is man of little force
and extreme caution, two characters
ties that are fatal to the would-be
leader of Il revolution.
Still another royal claimant, who
aspires to the throne of Spain as we'll
as the throne of France. is Don Jaime.
son of Don Carlos. He embodies all
that his father represents in Castilian
royalty. and is, next to his father,
the Oldest Bourbon heir to the throne OF
France. Under the Salic law the family
entitled to govern Spain is traced d.
rectly from Ferdinand VII to Jaime.
Owing to the fact that Don Carlos
has great influence and that all his
ambitions are for his son, there are
many who believe Don Jaime is des-
tined to play a leading part in European
politics yet. He is born soldier, and
no expense has been spared on his
education and military training. His
love of adventure and HE almost reck-
less courage insure him a following
among the Latin peoples of Europe. AS
he is only twenty nine and his father
is wise and cunning there is plenty of
time for their plans to be perfected and
little danger that he will strike before
the iron is heated to the proper degree.
There are other pretenders in ether
countries. but none of them. with the
following or interest that attaches to
the royal claimants of France and
Spain.

The Business Instinct.
youths Companiono

(1OutH COInpanlOn.)
Too many people are accustomed to
think politeness in address as appropri-
ate in company. but quite out of place in
business. An engaging manner is useful
everywhere.
This axiom is amusingly illustrated by
a story which Justin Mccarthy tells.
Soon after the civil war;" he says Il
happened to be standing on a bridge in
New York, amusing myself by studying
the crowd. when a shrill. youthful voice
accosted me with, 'Cap'n, shine yer
bootS?' T"
The chance distribution of military
titles was ready and liberal at the time,
when SO many soldiers were returning to
civilian life, and paid no attention to. the
invitation.
Just then a rival bootblack passed and
imagining where the cause of my indif-
ference lay, he advanced and pushing
past the unsuccessful claimant. he gave
me a military salute and appealed to me
with the captivating words:
Brigadier general, shine per boots?' ;"
Il had my boots shined on the spot

A Buffers Downfall.
philadelphia Record


Magistrate Jermon adopted some of the
wisdom of Solomon in dealing with a
prisoner the other day who had been
arrested for begging on the. street. Ac-
cording to the policeman the case was a
fragrant one and the man had acted like a
professional cadger. Before pronouncing
sentence Magistrate Jermon asked the
prisoner if he had anything to say for
himself. Judge. said he, II m a tele-
graph operator out of a job. The last
place worked was in Milwaukee.
What kind of an instrument did you
use?' asked the judge.
oh 1 used the tape kind, and I also
used the kind that clicked. Oh. I'm an
operator all right
Very WE'LL said the judge, lust take
this piece OF paper and this pencil and
write me the dot and dash alphabet"
For an instant the prisoner poised the
pencil in his hand. and then frankly de-
clared: Judge. you've got me. I'm gone
hook line and sinker. Gimme my dose
quick"
Three MONTHS was the abrupt ending
of the episode.

WAR AND ITS RESULTS.

General Funston expressed a belief
some time ago that d little tact would
have averted the war with the Fnipi-
nos and that little diplomacy would
end it at any stage. But now that ad-
ministration organs are boastfully talk
ing of conquest, that the president has
forgotten his fears of territorial ag-
erosion, and that fresh arms, accou-
trements and regiments are to be ship
ped, to the archipelago, there is nothing
in sight but continuance of the
bloody conflict.
Owing to this determination of inn
perialists to subjugate the natives, and
the utter absence of tact and common
sense at the head of military affairs,
the fighting Kansan has concluded that
it is to be war to the bitter end. He
says that the only way to subdue them
is to whip them into sullen submission,
a condition that may end the war, but
not our troubles in the Philippines.
Il do not think they will ever sur
render" says General Funston, in his
interview cabled from Manila and
printed in yesterdays papers. When
we begin active operations against
them on a larger scale in the autumn,
we will scatter them into small bands,
and / think when the soldiers compos-
ing these bands see that they are per-
sistently pursued. they will throw away
or hide their arms, and return to their
pursuits of peace.
But will order be restored? Will crime
be decreased? Will the influence Of
might have civilizing effect upon the
banditti of those lands? General Fun
ston says: The island was always in
tested with bandits, and was never safe
for Europeans to travel in. Probably

TRUSTS AND PRICES.

Trusts always raise prices" says
that rock-ribbed organ of old-time Re-
publicanism, the Chicago Tribune. And
it adds that no trust has been the
means of supplying cheaper wares to
the consumer, Notwithstanding the fact
that such organizations are effected fol
the purpose of cheapening the cost of
production and wiping out the expense
of competition
Among the early American trusts -
says the Tribune, was the one which
controlled the manufacture Of steel
rails. That trust kept prices up instead
of lowering them. 1t took advantage of
the tariff and charged the consumers
every cent possible. Having a monop-
oily, and being sure of high profits, COM
paratively little was done to lower the
most rapidly in the atmosphere of ac-
tive competition. When the steel rail
pool went to pieces prices fell and be-
came reasonable. Whenever any trust
or combine is broken up prices fall.
After any combine has secured a COM
pitAS VI a PoA tiai lsfOAOPoiy PlitCc lloC.
The trusts admit the advance and either
say that prices were ruinously low be-
fore or that the rise is due to natural
causes. and not to the desire TO make
more money"
Referring to another well known
combination, one. which always finds
an ardent defender in the local organ
of gold and industrial trusts, the Chi
cago Tribune says: For the last three
or four years American tinplate manu-
facturers, competing actively among
themselves have been improving their
processes and cheapening production.
They have formed an industrial combi-
nation now. Prices have been advanc-
ed ana it is safe to say that improve
ments in methods of manufacturing
will cease until the trust goes to pieces
and the competitive regime is re-estab-
lis5ed.'
These are the views of a Republican
organ Of national reputation. which
scents danger in the encouragement
the Mckinley regime is giving to these
unlawful combinations of capital It
knows people cannot be convinced that
trusts are good thing for the coun-
try when their object is to monopolize
business and destroy competition. 1t

CANADIAN STREAMS.
Charles G. D. Roberts,

".
Oh, rivers rolling to the sea
From lands that bear the maple tree.
How swell your voices with the strain
OF loyalty and liberty.
oh, holy music, heard in vain
BY coward heart and sordid brain,
To whom this strenuous being seems
Naught but greedy race for gain.
Oh, unsung streams-not splendid themes
Ye lack to fire your patriot dreams!
Annals of glory gid your waves.
Hope freights your tides, Canadian
streamsi

The shores that ne'er have nourished
Swift Richelieu of liled fame!

Where Daulac and his heroes came!

And. later, many loyal name!
Thou inland stream. whose wales. secure
From storm. Tecumseh's death made
And thou small water. red with war.
'Twixt Beaubassin and Beausejour!
Dread Saguenay. where eagles soar,
What voice shall from the Fashioned
The tale of Roberval reveal
Or his mysterious fate deplore?
Annapolis, do thy floods yet feel
Faint memories of Champlain's keel
Thy pulses yet the deeds repeat
OF Poutrincourt and d'Iberville?
And thou far tide. whose plains now beat
With march or myriad westering feet,
Saskatchewan, whose virgin sod
So late Canadian blood made sweet!
Your bulwark hills, your valleys broad,
Streams where De Salaberry trod,
Where Wolfe achieved, where Brock
was slain
Their voices are the voice of Cod
Oh. sacred waters. not in vain
Across Canadian height and plain,
Ye sound us in triumphant tone
The summons of your high refrain,
