ALL HOLLAND
FOR W|LHELM|NA

The news that Queen Wilhemina has
ordered a Paris dress and intends going
to the Paris Exposition is the latest
that has been received from that most
interesting of all sovereigns, the young
Queen of Holland.
Victoria, now heavy with years and
weight, inspires repect, but Wilhemina
awakens a feeling of affectionate ad-
miration and hopeful anticipation, second
only to that which Victoria herself
aroused when she assembled the purple
draped steps of the throne sixty-three
years age.
Wilhemina, pretty, blonde, undeniably
young and well educated, even into
~pedanstry, keeps all Europe interested
in her, not by her eccentricities or by her
expenditures, but by her personnel
heightened by that most remarkable fac
ulty fqF Holland, her progress, and also
by her limitations, for the wilful girl
queen has them by the score.

LIBERTY AND EQUALITY.
BY William Dean Howells.

10y A1Sl ASoAA =
We believe that our republic a freer
country thar a monarchy. and certainly
that Il president is less absurd than a
king, and such liberty as we have now
is safer under democratic forms. we
fondly figure the American who earns
his bread by the sweat of his brow ana
votes with his party: hut if he has not
the means of earning his livelihood he
can AVE little joy in his vote.
The poor man knows he has less liberty
tina the rich man, just as certainly aa
he knows he has less money. Till q
man is independent he is not free. The
man who is in danger of want Is not a
free man, and the country which does
not guard his against this danger. or
does not insure him the means of liveli-
hood. is not a free country, though 1t
may be the freeSt of the freer countries.
The violent unrest which we call labor
troubles is nothing more or less than an
endeavor for the liberty which the work.
ing classes think they see the employing
classes possessed of. 1t seems to be a
question of mere wages with them, buC
ultimately it is a question of more power
more ease, more freedom.
In good society we have a ~poiiteness
that is not a pretense of kindness. Peo-
pie who wish to get into society think
they will be better than those outside OF
it, if they can only get in. But when
they get into polite society they
there is an almost ideal state of AFFAIRS
at least upon the surface.
The ideal of good society Is equality.
You can have no pleasure in the man
you look up to or down upon Man IN
society will not like YOU to be a snon
or a BOBBY. Good society does its best
to ignore inequality.

which they formerly brought into Hol-
lands, Golfers. She also inspected the
standing army, and manifested such in
terest in the warlike preparations that
recruits were not wanting.
The girl queen turned her attention
toward the industries of Holland. The
Dutch delft was old as the hills, but the
laces had long been neglected and the
ginghams We're no longer famous as
Holland weaves. The old Holland linens
were, revived, and during the past year
Dutch stuffs have flooded the markets
of the world, while great was the name
of Wilhelmina in Holland.
A sensational rumor floated across the
water early this year that Hollands
Oueen desired to make war upon Eng
land, because of sympathy with her nat
nral kin. the Beers. But Wilhelmina
firmly and quietly denied this, n at the
risk OF alternating the Transvaal refused
to lend her army, navy, her Golfers, or
her name to the warning nations.
Later the Queen of Holland, herself a
, protestant, conferred with Pope Leo upon
the way of ending the war and still
| later. she met with representatives OF
/ all southern Europe to consider means
| of ending it. Truly the girl queen was
actively engaged in governing.
But all the while Wilhelmina has been
ged upon these great task she has
alo busted herself in other channels,
the true ones, think, for q Wo-
mans efforts. She has been endeavor-
ing with her whole mind, and let us nope
with her heart also. to a suitanie nlle

grown fat and old and been gathered to
her fathers.
Wilhelmina being rich, pretty and pow
erful, has many suitors. At one time
no less than sixteen princes were clam
oring for her hand. OF these the most
prominent was the Crow Prince of
Germany. But unfortunately the boy
is only eighteen, while Wilhelmina is
nearly twenty, and the old prejudice
against a match in which the woman was
the elder came to the fore. Beside this,
the Crown Prince a a country of his
own to govern and the union would
necessarily bring about a union both
nations; not a desirable thing, the Hol-
landerS think.
The next in order would be Eitel Fritz.
the second German prince. but he Is
three years younger thai Wilhelmina
and now seems curiOusly like a child to
her.
The Wied boys. the Swedish Princes,
the little Danish youngsters who are al
ways going down to England to visit
their cousin, and the swarthy Russians
have all applied. but Wilhelmina, While
she looks upon them all, remains I'M
married. She could wed an English
| prince: one of Connaught, or of Coberg.
or of the English branch of the Batten-
bergs. but she thinks not so much of
an English prince, it is said, as of a
German, holding with Queen Victoria
that their worth is more enduring.
Wilhelmina, never a fashionable girl,
has suddenly taken a step toward style.
In ordering a Paris dress she has es-
established a precedent not to be forgot
ten or overlooked.
Now they have announced that she
will go to Paris. The question is, viii
she go?

If food does not come after their eff
forts it is because they have not sufflclent
faith; and if it does, as Is often the case
in so fertile a country where the petel
nut drops at you door and the wild corn
is rich and plenty, then it is an added
proof of the efficacy of the new faith.
1t is now over a year since Gibinism
first appeared in the Philippines. It's
pioneer was Cabin, a native OF education
and some refinement. He preached his
strange doctrine and at once found fol-
J lowers. The religion of idleness was
pleasing to the Filipino, and he heard
only to be converted. Converts were
made hourly, and the religion became SO
strong that tidings of it reached the
Spanish authorities and alarmed them.
Upon investigation they found that
there were enough Ga in the coun-
try, principally around Manila, to make
a very formidable army; and they Also
Learned that it was the intention of the
people either to fight, or to be allowed to
go their own way in absolute idleness.

home government a norder came 70 tine

pected that Gabinism would die with MIN.
For a long time 1t was silent. then to
the chagrin of the authorities the reNg-
ION sprang up again stronger than ever
and powerful, not only in numbers, but IN
wealth.
A new leader had arisen to succeed
Cabin. Felipe Salvador, a native OF
strong following, and to whom was ac-
cedited all the miracles which We're 1of-
imerly worked by Cabin. was preaching
the doctrine with success.
| ~SalVador's first work was the erection
of a church at San Luis, an imposing af-
Ifair of bamboo and nipa thatch, furnish
ed with picturesque seats formed by
bending down the branches of trees. 1t
was the handsomest church on The island
and people %journeyed miles to see it.
Salvador Immediately began a triumph
ant march across the country. He
|preached by night, n by day healed the
sick. Those suffering from any allment
were brought out to him to be blessed:
If they failed to recover 1t was because
they had not sufficient faith: If they got
well, great was the fame of
Complaints speedily began to be heard
throug hout the islands, both from the
natives. The main objection came from
the planters, who found themselves UNI
able to plant their crops or harvest them
because of the taking away of their la
iborers. The nut harvests We're ungather-
ed: the spring growths stood neglected
upon the stalks. The crops OF rice dried
or rotted in the fields.
The people had all turned Gabinists
and would not work.
Now Salvador is imprisoned, and the
religion is without a leader, yet 1t Il

people are clamoring for the Healer

know about the sultan of Turkey, and 1t
is a question whether his word would not
set these u, 900. 900 of people aflame with
war and bloodshed against the Chris

man in the world.

very vigorous invalid indeed. I think
that the interests of England and Amer

The feature of polygamy is a very Sc
rious one. The women are all slaves
because of it. They are bought Will

do the farm work.
But Mahometanism has elevated these
Africans socially. They are quite supe'
