is vile political vengeance, which all good
men will denounce."
The marriage of Anna Gould and Count
Paul Ernest Boniface de Castellane
took place in New York on March 4.
1895. 1t was one of the most brilliant
weddings of the season. The ceremony was
performed by Archbishop Corrigan, and
among the guests were some OF the best
nobility of France, friends and relatives
of the distinguished family. The presents
to the bride were amazingly rich. Marquis
de Castellane, the father Of the groom,
and the Marquise, his mother, presented
the bride with the family jewels. George
Gould gave his sister diamonds enough
to build small railroad, and the other
presents were in keeping with the wealth
of both families. The marriage took place
in the residence of George Gould, at Six
ty-seventh street and Fifth avenue. Be-
sides the brides immense independent
fortune she brought to her husband, ii
was said, a settlement for his own use.
The Castellanes have been living in Paris
since the marriage. Their names have been
frequently before the public during the
past four years, that of the Count in con-
nection of alleged Royalist movements and
that of the Countess because of her popu-
larity in French society, her splendid en-
tertainments and her large gifts to charity.
In the attack on President Loubet, of
France, which occurred at the Auteuil race
track on June A. 1899, it was alleged that
the Countess who was Miss Anna Gould,
had headed a party of young Royalists
who were prominent in the assault, and
that the Count and his brother had been
arrested as participants. but this was later
denied.
1t has never been definitely announced
by either family upon just what basis
the marriage settlements were made. The
Counts allowance was said to be $500, ,000
a year, set apart for him as distinct from
his wife's fortune of sl5,OOO.OOO. 1t was also
said that the settlement included the con-
tingency that if the Countess died without
issue s5.oOO.OOO should revert to the Count
de Castellane, his heirs and assigns.
Whether this, in view of the birth OF an
heir, has ever been reapportioned is not
known.

it be that England imagincs that her

England has not made any conccs-

that she has never had anything to
concede; she has never given away any

THE SUN AND IT'S PARTY.

Incredible as it seems, 1t is neverthe-
less fact that the New York Sun has
q good word for the Democratic plat

the Republicans. 1t accuses Hon. John
Hay Of Toadyism to England and AYERS
that he is responsible for the equivo-
cal canal plank in the Philadelphia

barrassment of MIR. McIinleys admin
Illustration and the Republican party"
The Sun continues:
These declarations of the Demo-
cratic platform, on the other hand, are
both positive and right, and they COM
mend themselves at once to Americans
irrespective of party:
I'VE insist upon the strict mainten-
ance of the Monroe Doctrine in all it's

We favor the immediate construc-
ton. ownership and control of the Mic

We condemn the Hay Pauncefote
treaty as surrender OF American
rights and interests not to be tolerated
Dy the American people"
Then. swallowing it's pride and APP
parently recognizing the hopelessness
of appeal to the Senators of it's own
party, the Sun importunes the Demo-
cratic Senator's TO defeat the Hay
Pauncefote treaty, declaring that they
cannot "honorably and consistently
take any other course IN view of these
explicit instructions from Kansas
City" 1t finds that the power of the
administration is being ''exerted for
the destruction Of the Monroe doctrine
and the surrender of American rights
! and interests on this continent to a
concert of European powers
So far as the obligation of Demo-
cratic Senators Is concerned they seem
bound to opposition TO the Hay
Paurcefote treaty. in so far as plat
form can bind them. The Republican
Senators are free to vote as they choose
on the treaty. Is 1t not strange. there
fore. that the chief organ of the Re-
publican party should have TO appeal
to Democratic Senators and invoke the
authority OF the Democratic platform
to save American rights and interests
on this continent? Only little over
a month ago this same organ was
heaping vituperation and abuse upon
these men because they saw neither
wisdom or justice in the policy Mr.
Mckinley was. and is, pursuing in the
Philippines. They were dag furcrs",
"auntles", TRAITORS" because they
held fast by the Declaration of indie
pendence in the presence of supposed
material advantages in abandoning 1t;
now the Sun is compelled to admit that
only the Democratic platform and the
men who owe allegiance to it can or
will save the dignity interests ana
prestige of the United States in this
hemisphere. Surely the vindication of
the Democratic party has been swift
and ample!
