distance to move from one place to an

BUSINESS VERSUS LOVE.

When Prince Henry married Queen
Wifhelmina he was deeply in debt He
insisted that his wife should pay his
debts. She declined, declaring that he
must meet his obligations out of the
allowance which she made him, which
is $3.50, 900 a year. OF course he could
not live on this pittance and pay his
debts out of it. His wife's income is
about So, 900, 600 year Shall we blame
him for being angry with his thrifty
Dutch wife in such circumstances?
Queen Wilhelmina Is beautiful of form
and feature, has a thrifty business
mind and her tongue is said to be as
sharp as o razor. To appeals to pay
her husbands debts she replied that
'1ove has nothing to do with bust
ness" Prince Henry might reply that
business has nothing to do with love,
and he married hollands Queen as a
matter OF BUSINESS. The Queen married
for love, The Prince married for cash.
Result, unhappiness, quarrels and talk
of divorce. OF course!

be hailed With pleasure By al true
democrats Of the country. "Mr
Cleveland has frequently stated that
he Is forever separated from active
participation il party politics, and
that while he may from time TO time

10 make public his views on public
matters, be has nevertheless perma-

day, SIS TO be left alone. I am not anx-
ions to be continually interviewed on

any time I have anything to say, I
will say it through chosen mediums

to private life and will never again
seek public Office st the hands Of ny

flying statement. The party is~1ust
recovering from the shot Mr CleYe-
land gaze IT. He was three times the
nominee Of the party for the highest
Office within the gift Of the people, and
was twice elected, and then refused to
support or vote for the nominee OF
his party for the same Office. He was
indebted to the democratic party for
all his political honors, and when the
time came, when he had to step down
and out he stabbed it almost 10 the
death. Mr. Cleveland is 4 able map, a
man Of good force Of character, and
had it in his power to weaken, if not

nh. CROKER ON RESPONSIBILITY

The ehieftain of Tammany was re-
ported yesterday as assigning to the
newspapers of this town ''the entire
credit for the success of the Fusion
ticket" They were united, as he says,
in their opposition to Tammany.
Mr.. Cookers ideas of the potency
of newspaper influence seem to have
changed somewhat since Mayor Van
Wyck was elected by Tammany against
> practically united press in New York
At that time, if we remember rightly,
he called attention to the insignifcsnce
Of newspaper opposition.
The newspapers this time expressed
the public sentiment which is certainly
responsible for the overthrow OF Tam
many. 1t was the newspapers plus
the voters, or perhaps the voters plus
the newspapers.
The newspapers part of the work is
done. The voters part of the work is
also done. For the success of the in
coming Administration, Mayor Low and
the men with him will be responsible.

ity TO read and write we're made the
test for admission, in connection with
the other tests now applied, we should
