Republicans should Do Something.

Republicans Should Do Something.
The reference to a special committee
of the National House of Representa-
tives of all bills and resolutions relat-
ing to the regulation of trusts ought to
result in the presentation of bill for
the restriction of the operations of the
big combinations of capital that will
meet in an adequate way the problem
now confronting the people.
The Republican members of the
House are beginning to realize the ne
cessity of enacting law, either sup
plementing the Sherman ANTITRUST law
or standing by itself, which will meet
the trust evil, and they cannot fail to-
see the necessity of enacting such a law
at the present session of Congress.
1t is clear that the Democrats of all
factions are determined to push the
trust issue to the front in the coming
Presidential campaign-the gold men
because they are anxious to dispose OF
the silver issue and open a way by
which they can get back into their
party, and the silver men because they,
while not willing to abandon free coin
age, know that they must have some
other leading issue to make even half
way successful campaign.
Therefore it has become necessary for
the Republicans to meet the issue. liz
they can succeed in evolving from the
mass of resolutions and bills practi-
cal antitrust law and put it in the
statute book before the close Of the
present session of Congress, they may
go before the people with the declara-
ton that the pledges Of their platform
have been kept. With the trust issue
eliminated from the campaign it will
be impossible for the Democrats to
make a decent showing at the polls.
The Republicans seem to be deter
mined to do something, and it is to be
hoped that they will succeed. --Cleve-
land Leader.

Touching the question of the de-

but they hope to have them made
greater still. Philadelphia Inquirer.

Mr.. Rryan,s Platform.

Mr.. Bryan can be fish, flesh or fowl
on all these constitutional questions,
according to circumstances Lincoln
Journal.
Nevertheless it is evident that he in
tends the Nebraska platform to stand
as the keynote for action at Kansas
City ON firecracker day.-OttumWa
Press.
The platform adopted yesterday at
Lincoln by the Democrats of Nebraska
reflects the opinions Of William j. Bry-
an, and it is in the interest OF the Re
publican party.--Kansas City Star.
He (Bryan) is rather Eighty young
man at best, and he may change more
than once before the national conven-
ton meets, but he can hardly keep
pace with Mr.. Mckinley in that partlc-
ular.-New York Evening Post.
The platform adopted at Lincoln IS
substantially the platform that will be
adopted at Kansas City, and the voters
now know ON what issues the Demo
cratic party will conduct the presiden-
tial OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Republican
Taking the platform as whole it
contains no promise of a reunion Oh
the disorganized ranks of the Democ-
xacy, but points rather to further dis
Indignation. The party is in terrible
need Of new leadership.AChi
Times Herald.
While Mr.. Bryan continues to doml-
nate his party and to snap his fingers
in the face of it's ablest counselors,
Republicans will continue to view his
course with interest, but not with
alarm. He is doing heroic work IN
wrecking the Democracy, and his oppo-
nents are quite content so long as that
work continues. Pittsburg Commercial
Gazette.
The agonizing shrek emitted by the
furious Bryan Democracy in conven-
ton assembled at Lincoln, Neb., was
expected in view of the recent formal
statutory adoption Of the gold standard
by Congress. The action of Congress
only emphasizes and perfects that
which is the recognized policy Of the
Government and makes it Impossible
for any administration in the future to
change or impair the gold standard
without definite legislation by Con-
gress Minneapolis Journal.

WILHELMINA's WOOING.
IFrom the London News


Some interesting particulars of Queen
Wilhelmina's courtship and betrothal
are supplied by our Paris correspondent.
Although the Queen of the Netherlands
made the acquaintance of the grand
dueal family at Cannes, she did not, it
appears, see her betrothed until she
went last year to Berlin. She had heard
a good deal about him from his sister
in-laW, the Princess John, nee Sake
Wefmar, and daughter of the late Prin-
cess Pauline of the Netherlands, Ouch
ess of Saxe-W eimar- The moment the
queen ana Prince Henry saw each other
they were mutually impressed, and SO
strongly that the queen would hear of
no@ other sutton. She pleaded "a cold'
as excuse for not attending a dinner
where she was to pass in review q
number Of aspirants. The queen mother,
seeing this, prudently curtalled the visit
to Berlin. Inquiries were in due course
set on foot about Prince Henry. All the
reports received about him were favor
able, and the queen arranged to have
opportunities to become better aequaint-
ed with him. Instead Of coming to the
exposition she planned an excursion to
SchWarzburg. Rooms were taken at
an hotel in a picturesque site for the
queen, her mother and the dowa ger
duchess. who was asked to be their
guest
Prince Henry was not disinclined. to
fall in with the little plan. He OBJ
tanned a furlough to come to see his
mother. He got up excursions to the
snow places III the principanty, ana ac-
colnpanied the two queens in their
walks, rides and drives. She was SUI
premely happy in his company, and was
sorry when it*Was time for the party
to break up. AS she was leaving she
said to the prince: What a happy touri
/ never spent such a happy time in my
life, and / feel j owe so much to you.
Correspondence followed, and one fine
morning the prime minister was sum
moned by the queen to Loo. She lost no
time in informing him that she was en-
gagged, and to whom. She said she
hoped the council would give its consent
to the marriage she had decided upon.
The Prince of Mecklenburg belonged to
the Oldest house in Germany; it's inter-
national situation was high, it played

Millionaire's Humble Banouet


little Falls N Y, Spe.- N. ~. World. I
A remarkable dinner was given here
last week Twenty-Five hundred persons
were the guests at a banquet and recep-
ton given by Robert Mackinnon, who
twenty years ago was a poor boy work
ing in mills of Cohoes for IS cents a
week
OF the $500 guests 200 were his en-
pfoyes. for he is now the millionaire
owner OF the great knit goods manu-
factory here.
Born of Scotch ancestry in 1853 Robert
Macki1non began life in Cohoes as a
mill operative before he ought to have
been out of the lower schools But re-
alizing that education fits a man to
overcome the world, he worked hard
days and studied hard nights When he
was p years old he began to read law
with a well known attorney. Circum-
stances arose which necessitated his
giving up law, and he went back to the
mills.
By 1887 he had so thoroughly mastered
the mill business that, with what money
he had saved and what he could raise
he came TO Little Falls and went into
business in modest way He started
factory in an old tumble down lumber
mill Little by little he improved his
plant. Men recognized his ability and
his character He grew steadily in inn
portance as a business man.
The fact that he kept his word with
every one, with his generosity with his
employes-for he has never forgotten
that he was poor man himself-soon
gave him a wide reputation.
By 1889 he had progressed so far in
prosperity that the present establish
ment was erected, and last March an
other big addition was made. on
Thursday night his employees were in
vited to a jubilee at which banquet
was served, and the guests tripped the
light fantastic step to the music of
full brass band. It was the largest
personal reception that ever took place
in this town.
One of the principal figures at the re-
ception and ball was the ''superintend-
ent' of the mill, Miss Belle Mackinnon,
sister of the owner, without doubt one
of the most remarkable women of the
country A woman of very gentle
characteristics and of a good deal of
country who stands next to the head OF
a great factory and superintends the
work.
She attends to every detail Of the
work, and has all the threads of bust
ness in her hands She does not fill the
place simply because she is the sister
of the employer. but because she is
capable and has worked her way up. On
Thursday night fully as much honor
was shown her as to her brother
The floor of the big new mill was
waxed, and after the banquet the young
people danced merrily till a late hour
Speeches We're made during the evening
by Mr.. Mackinnon and other persons
present. One OF the enjoyable features
of the evening was the friendly spirit
shown by the employees in giving an oil
painting of their employer to him at
the banquet Mayor Jones, of the city,
made the presentation speech, and dis
played the picture lighted up by the
name of Mr. Mackinnon in incandescent
lights

tarts three times a day. Conscious of a
record of pies well baked extending over
half a century Mrs Walters tells that
one of the clauses in the marriage con-
tract provided that she should have pies
on the table every day until death
should part her and her husband.
The youthful bride, at the start, baked
many pies such as Mr.. Walters mother
never made. But she improved At any
rate the crisp pumpkin or apple tart was
always to be found on Walters table. On
