The AMERICAN correspondents IN
Europe are prone to exaggeration and
the general hope is expressed that their
reports of the ill-trestment by ber Ger
man husband OF Queen Wilhelmiua OF
Holland are not true, but where there
ia 90 much smoke there must be some
fire, and should 1t turn out that the
Prince Consort has been behaving most
brutally, has beaten his sweet bride
upon occasion, and is held responsible
for her condition OF health, then should
the Delaware law in reference to wife
bsaters be enacted 10 Holland at once
and Prince Henry be made the first vic
tim aBd be severely thrsshed In the
public pillory. No man with en- ounce
OF decency In bis makeup would strike
q woman, and when one reared amid
refined influences becomes 30 debased
as to strike bis wife, and she a queen'
the offense is msgni6ed thoussndfold
and no punishment that could be in'
flicted upon MIN could be too debasipg
or severe.

IF THE present plans Of the leaders
OF the majority 10 the House of Rep
ressntatives are carried out, the work
of the present Congress will be confined
to passing the appropriation bills, In
Guiding river and harbor bill and adj
ditionAl bills for the construction OF the
Nlcsrsgusn Canal and cable to the
Philippines. The leaders are determined
not to touch the tariff, to ignore recip-
rocity and to do nothing for Cuba. The
war taxes may be reduced II 1t is
deemed safe by the republicans after
all the appropriation bills are passed,
and the Nicarsguan Canal and the
Philippine cable are provided for.
