REASON OF HER LONG LIFE.
Queen Victorin's Longevity and
Health Said to BE Mainly Due
to Regularity.

An eminent physician of this city
who has recently returned from Lon
don. where he had opportunities Of
learning much of Queen Victoria's hab-
its of life, is of the opinion that not
only her longevity, but also her Won
derful exemption from the ills and
aches to which humans are ordinarily
subject. are due to the fact of the
extraordinary regularity which is fol-
lowed in the daily routine of her ma
jesty's life, says the Chicago Record.
Nothing makes difference in this rou-
tine. for everything is arranged by rule
and compass, in n fashion which no in
cidents whatsoever ever interfere with.
The queen rises every morning at the
same hour and retires at the same in
slant every night, her meals are
served on the second, while her drives
and airings are regulated with the
same punctuality; indeed. the royal
household of England far outdoes any
great public business institution for
srrurulous and perfect punctuai.y.
This state of affairs has gone on, year
in, year out. ever since the death of
the late lamented prince consort, whose
very irregu.arity and free and easy
temperament frequently got" little
on the queens nerves and caused be-
tween the otherwise so united a couple
a great many scenes which were the
reverse of pleasant. So dear to Vic
toria is this abnormal punctuality that
she has instilled it into all her chill
dren, and the prince of Wales house.

punctuality. gave the greatest offense
at Marlborough house because she was
a few minutes late for dinner. As
she entered the drawing-room the
prince pointedly glanced mt a small
clock which stood on the mantel shelf.
The duchess quick eye observed the
action and she knew at once that a

tion to dine with her future king. With
a somewhat constrained laugh she ex-
claimed: "Why, sir, it is not that hour"
NO" replied the prince, "you are only
four minutes late. but like to have
all my clocks five minutes fast. for
II keeps unpunctual people up to the

Ever since the present campaign be-
gan, there has been a difficulty in un-
derstanding exactly what Mr.. BRYAN
means by the term imperialism" The
first definition which has been at
tempted is that of Hon. Perry Belmont
Of New York, in letter addressed to
Hon. John T. McGraw, who is the
Democratic national committeeman of
West Virginia. Mr.. Belmont says:
The Republican idea, the imperial
istic idea, is that all the millions of
people IN our territories and islands
can, In time of peace. be governed by
congress according to its fancy, unre-
strained by the constitution and the
judicial powers. Such i'm
perialism was by the Kansas City con-
vention made the supreme ISSUE"
Here we have It Imperialism, in
the Democratic mind, is not the gov
crnment of the Philippines, but the
government of the Philippines "unre-
strained by the constitution" In re-
ply to this 1t is but necessary to men
tion three pertinent facts:
First-The Republican policy is in
accordance with every legislative act
applied to newly acquired territory
since the United States began its tre-
mendous march OF expansion.
Second-The United States supreme
court backs this up with exhaustive
and overwhelming authority.
Third-The issue of Imperialism, as
defined by Mr.. Belmont above, is again
before the national courts.
II the Republican policy is uncon-
stitutional. therefore. It will be SO de-
cided, and reversed. II the courts
shall hold 1t to be correct. then the
Democrats will be constitutionally
bound to abandon their present posi-
ton, drop their imperialistic argu-
ment, and obey the court
Hence, 1t follows that Imperialism
Is a bogus issue, because 1t is not one
that can be settled by the people at
the ballot box. 1t is a question for the
judicial branch Of the government, not
for the legislative or the executive.
The election Of Mr.. Bryan would do
nothing whatever to influence the de-
cision that the courts will give. I'm
perialism is, therefore, no more an
issue before the people than is any
other judicial question now pending
in the supreme court of the United
States.
But let us remark that Bryanism,
while II is not before the supreme
court, is a menace and threat against
the supreme court and the powers con-
ferred upon 1t by the constitution of
the United States.

Before the beginning of the century
only three seed farms had been estab b.
Growth o,,b. lished in the United
States, though for
many years seeds
were grown by farmers and market
gardeners. The present development
of garden seeds began, says the WASH
ington Star. when David Landreth es-
tablished a small seed farm at Phila-
delphia in 1884. NJ first but few acres
were cultivated. and these were most
ly occupied by the nursery. AS the
business grew more land was added,
cultivation near Philadelphia alone.
The Clairmont seed gardens, near Bal
timore. Nd, supplied some of the deal
ers of that city about 1851 and prob
ably earlier. The opening of the civil
war found the country still largely de-
pendent upon imported garden seeds.
The heavy taxes and the premium on
gold raised the prices of all imported
SSSuS 10 suCH Ill extent InuI tHe Ueul-
ers began TO look anxiously for home
supply. This condition stimulated
home production, and as many seed
farms were established between 1860
and 1870 RS during the 30 years before
the war. Since the close of the war
the business of seed growing has rapid
ly increased. Notwithstanding some
importers of seeds declared in 1867 that
American seed growing was n myth,
there were at that time more than 1900
acres devoted to raising vegetable and
flower seeds, and about II years later
il was estimated that the total area
then devoted to growing garden seeds
was about 1000 acres. OF these 1000 in
!the state of New York produced peas
land beans. The census of 1890 showed
that there were in the United States
596 seed farms, containing 100. .S5C
acres, of which 96,567A were actually
producing seed crops. The production
iof seed is still increasing, and it. Is
stated on good authority that 100. 200
'acres are now annually devoted to peas
alone, and half as many to beans. In
;1s7s we imported half our wrinkled
sorts; now We supply shortages abroad
and import only in case of failure OF
the crop.

queer controversy has arisen al
Philadelphia over the injuries sus.
tanned by horse. Enraged because
the servant had not properly filled
the salt cellar, James Benney, a res
ident of Philadelphia suburb, flung
lit through the window. Aside from
sending the glass in all directions
the missile struck horse and de-
Btroyed its sight. The owner dashed
into the house and demanded instant
satisfaction, and was about to receive
1t in the shape of a sound beating
when Benney's wife succeeded in in
J ducing the men 10 resort to arbitra
ftion. The horse owner claims the
value of the animal, which he says
will have to be killed, while Benney
will only agree to pay for its treat
ment by an eye specialist. The case
will be taken to the courts and
fought to finish.

OUR GOOD TITLE.
How Would Bryan vitiate Our Rights to

to the Philippines?
What is there back of Bryan's re-
peated remark that the United States
has not good title to the Philippines?
Does 1t mean that III President" he
will have his attorney general give an
opinion that will take the American
American troops away and surrender
the islands? was not this flag-furl-
ing foreshadowed weeks ago by Cot
ton Baler Jones, chairman of the Dem
ocratic National committee, when he
was asked whether Mr.. Bryan, in the
event of his election, would order
American troops to leave the Philip
pines? His answer was: I'VE sent the
troops there in ships. l guess we can
bring them away in ships. We had
no more right to send soldiers there
than we have to send them to fight
against any government in Europe
Congress has never authorized the
prosecution of war against the Flip
mos, and without action Of Congress
what right has anybody to carry on
such a war;"

oped In the market for metals today.
Gables were Of an unsatisfactory pur-
port. Lead, after a prolonged dullness
of several months, dropped 2712 points to-
day, owing to the continued lack of de-
mand, closing weak at S4.40d4. IS. Tin,

and unchanged at 81; spelter ruled quiet,
closing at 4.5715Q4.67la. The brokers'
price for lead was $40 and for copper
S17o0.
New York May 7.-Surprise was ex-
pressed in the metal trade today at the
action Of the American Smelling and Re-
fining company, which reduced the price
Of lead from $40 to $40. This is the
first change in prices since the beginning
Of the year, and the lack of demand and
a desire on the part of the company to
reduce the price of ore at the mines are
advanced as the principal reasons.
