PERSONAL NOTES.

The German Crown Prince inherits all
his fathers love of militarism. He is also
fond of music and plays the violin.
Congressman Williams, of Illinois, is an
authority on the history of that State and
owns one of the best libraries on the sub.
ject to be found anywhere.
Reginald G. Vanderbilt, the younger
brother of Alfred, has just been elected
secretary of the University Club, in New
York, which his father, the late Cornelius
Vanderbilt, founded.
Maitre Labor, the lawyer who so ably
defended Dreyfus, is coming to this coun-
try next Autumn to lecture on the famous
case. He speaks Engish-his wife's ma
tive language fluently.
Joaquin Miller, the poet, who recently
built bis own tomb in California, announc-
ed the other day that the world was mis-
taken in supposing that he meant to oc.
cupy it for some time.
The Massachusetts Daughters of the
American Revolution have purchased for
the Medford, Mass, cemetery a monu.
ment to Sarah Bradlee Fulton, one of the
States Revolutionary heroines.
Prof Eliot, of Harvard, the other day
received from several Harvard alumni
now serving in the Philippines large and
valuable collection of native arms, orna-
ments and manuscripts for the university
museum.
William Dean Howells, in a recently
published Boston interview, expresses him
self as of the opinion that there was never
so much good American verse as is now
being published in books and newspapers.
Of the magazine verse he did not have so
high an opinion.
Queen Victoria's eyes are getting worse
instead of better. The blue glasses she
has lately worn have lost their efficacy,
and, contrary to her custom, she can no
longer write even her most private letters.
Another famous specialist has been con-
suited, but has given small encouragement
Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, is most
interested in the discussion as to the verify
of the legend concerning the Washington
elm in Cambridge. He believes that our
first President, contrary to the latest ICON
oclastic criticism, actually took command
of the Revolutionary Army under this
tree in full accordance with the old story.

Good Advice.
Philadelphia Press ]

fnllhuelpnld 1TeSS
1t ia encouraging to know that the
leading colored men of New York city do
not indorse the advice of Mr.. L. Thomas
Fortune that the colored race use force to
recover and maintain iis rights in The
South. The advice was given in an ad-
dress made last Sunday on the occasion
of the celebration of The one hundredth
anniversary of John Browns birth. This
is not the kind of talk that will elevate
the colored man or bring him the sympa-
thy and support of his white brother.
That the colored mans political rights
are being taken from him by one South
ern State after another and that his al
legged crimes are often punished without
the Intervention of judge or jury are
facts known to all men. But it will not
help matters to lncite the colored man
to become a lawbreaker also, and the
man who gives such advice is not a
friend of the colored race. The real
friends of the race will advise, rather,
that the law be obeyed SO rightly that no
excuse can be found for mob violence or
for taking away rights under the forms
of law.

In recent interview Sam Jones said
"When you ask about Dewey there isn't
very much to say. He is a great man on
water, but fool on land" Dewey was a
great man when he was on the water at
Trieste, France, and in response to toast
to the President, said, in terms, that he
was good and great man and ought
to be reelected. But Dewey was a
fool when he allowed himself to be made a
catspaw by the Democrats, suddenly
changed his politics and became a candi.

reelected. Dewey ought to 60 back and
stay on the water.

Protecting the Birds.
Philadelphia Record. ]

Philadelphia Record
The passage by the American Mill
ners' Association of resolution to the
effect that no member of the association
should use the plumage of song birds in
the trimming of hats and bonnets is a
gratifying evidence of the energy with
which the Audubon societies of the coun-
try have carried on their commendable
crusade against bird murder.
So long as the milliners did not join in
the movement there was little hope for
bird protection. The heart of lovely wo-
man may have been rent in theory at the
piteous tales of bird destruction, but in
practice it rejoiced at Glove of bon.
net" decorated, in accordance with
Fashions cruel DEGREES. with the brilliant
feathers of song birds. The one way to
stop the use Of tie plumage of song birds
in the millinery art WAS at the fountain
head; and since the arbiters of Fashion
are usually those who are pecuniariy in
terested in changing the styles as often as
possible, much wisdom WAS shown in di.
rectng all efforts to convincing the Mill.
ners' Association of the error of its
ways.
Inspired by the decision of that organi.
zation the morning lark Of these beauti-
ful June days should carol the rejoicings
Of the feathered Tribe from the highest
point of the unfathomable blue, and give
ont the tidings that predatory man has
given up an iota Of his bloodthirstiness.
Now let the crusaders devise ways and
means of getting rid of that other vicious
enemy of the song bird--the English
sparrow.

Virginia.

THE determination of Governor Taylor,
of Kentucky, not to stand as the candi-
date Of the Republican party for Govern
or at the approaching election is very
wise. An effort OH his part to canvass
the State would be followed by outrageous
persecution, and, in all probability, by
assassination. The Republicans of the
State, however, should select one Of
their best men for candidate, and make
a determined effort to overthrow the po-
litical thieves who have robbed the peo-
pie of their rights.

HE DEMOCRATS AND TRUSTS.

The recent record made by the Demo
cratic representatives in Congress on trusts
is not calculated to inspire the people
with confidence in the professions of hos
tility go warmly expressed by the De-
mocracy against combinations and trusts.
If trusts are az dangerous to the public
welfare as they are proclaimed to be,
something should be done to regulate il
not suppress them. 1t must be apparent
to every intelligent, thinking man that the
surest and safest way to accomplish the
desired end is by Federal legislation. So
far Congress has done little that has been
effective on that line. 1t may be that its
failure to do much has resulted from a
want of authority under the Constitution
to proceed further than it has done. So
regarding it, the Republicans in Congress
recently introduced a joint resolution in
the House of Representatives proposing
an amendment to the Constitution which
was intended to vest In Congress ample
power to'regulate, control and even dis
solve truets. 1t will be remembered that
the Democratic members voted solidly
against the joint resolution, defeating it,
because of its failure to receive two-thirds
vote. On the following day the Democrat
ic representatives voted for bill intro.

THE Pulaski News Review in talking
about Democratic Harmony" says "The
unmistakable evidence of harmony that
exists among Democrats all over the coun'
try is beginning to excite no little alarm
among Republican newspapers and Re-
publican leaders" Yes, they are dread
fully alarmed. The recent harmony and
fusion that existed in the State of Oregon
and the results that followed are we'll cal
culated to scare the life out of Republican
leaders and newspapers. The fusion out
in Oregon was so terribly beaten and bust
ed that they now call it confusion. Such
harmony is very alarming.

The constitutional convention at the
late election received 1882 votes, less
than one. fourth of the votes in the State,
and yet it carried by a majority of Is, 1892.
The managers ought to have added on
eight more votes and made the majority
seventeen thousand Perhaps they
thought they could deceive people by
doing like the storekeepers do when they
advertise dollar article at nnety-eight
cents.

THEY say there is perfect harmony now
in the Democratic ranks SO far as Mr..
Bryan liz concerned. Their trouble, how
ever, is that there are not enough Of them.
Harmony without sufficient numbers will
amount to very little in Presidential
race.

has determined to try TO make gains IN

600 day for tropical products used in
manufacturing or food and drink. Most
of these products can be produced in the
recently acquired tropical possessions of
the United States, and we may look for
that to be done. This will cause an i'm

possessions, and will rebound greatly to
their benefit as well as to our country at

A CALL has been issued by the National
Executive Committee of the National
Democratic Party for a meeting of the
committee to be held at Indianapolis on
the 25th of July. The concensus of opin-
ion, as gathered from expressions of men,
bers of the committee, is that the party
ST ould again put national ticket in the
field. The sentiment Of the recent meet
ing of the committee was unanimous
against Mr.. Bryan and the Chicago plat
form. How does this agree with the boasts
of the Bryanites that the gold Democrats
are falling into lipe for Mr.. Bryan ?
