for his father, Albert, and for his
grandfather, Edward. He was edu-
Gated by private tutors, occasionally
making tours to France, to the conti-
nent, and in the United Kingdom.
When is he was sent to Edinburgh
to take course of scientific study,
and from there he went to Oxford,
where he was admitted member of
the famous Christ Church college.
In 1860 he made his long-remem.
bered tour of Canada and the United
States, being known in this country
only as Baron Renfrew, though he
was received and entertained like
prince. He crossed from Canada to
The United States at Detroit, thence
to Chicago, st. Louis, Cincinnati, and
so on to Washington. In New York
he was most royalty entertained. In
Boston he met many notable Ameri-
cans, visited Harvard, and drove out
to Bunker Hill. From Portland he
sailed for home in a British frigate on
the Goth of October, his tour in the
United States lasting just thirty days.
In 1862 the prince made tour of
the Holy Land, and on March 10, 1868,
his marriage with the Princess Alex
andra of Denmark was celebrated
amid great pomp and rejoicing.
He has had two Sons and three
| daughters. losing one son, Albert Vic
tor. While the prince has largely led
a life of pleasure. he has not been
unmindful of the higher duties Of his
| station. 1t must be remembered that
he is debarred from taking part in
political discussion. He has never
shown more favor to men of one side
than of the other. This is very diff
| ferent from the attitude of the former
kings of England, but it is the ideal OF
constitutional monarchy. That he
will wisely answer the demands of his
new station there is no reason to doubt
and he will be the most popular king
England has ever had.

The Crimes of shortsighted Com
mercisllsm.


The two nations that speak the En-
glish tongue and boosted their SUI
periority over all others present in ir.
reconcilable contrast the noble and
the ignoble, the good and the bad in q
superlative degree. The nation that
gave to the world Milton and q
Shakespeare and whose history Is re-
plete with honored names whose lives
were dedicated to liberty, is engaged
in foul, brutal and murderous war
against the rights and liberties of the
unoffending and heroic Beers of Africa
in which intellect and the products of
science and invention merely augment
and intensity the sayagery of their
work.
The United States, the one great
free Republic Of earth, founded by
Washington and Jefferson, the land OF
churches and schools, which during
the century that has just passed has
outstripped all nations in recorded
history in everything that adds dig
nifty to man, and has distanced all
competitors in material development
is now sending armies seven thousand
miles from home and numbering thou
sands of.people, whose only offense is
an unwillingness to accept the yoke of
foreign invader.
Neither the people Of England nor
the people of America indorse the
crimes of their governments. But in
both nations conscience crouches and
covers before the aggression and vi
olence OF q criminal and shortsighted
commercialism.- National Watchman

eous characters as Wellington and Pet
tigrew; they both agree with our home
apers.-Extract from E. p. Seeds
Washington letter, published in Della
ware County News.
1t Is q common saying that no mat
ter how good man may be, he soon
succumbs to the decadent influences of
official life in Washington. A few
short months ago no one would have
believed that as good man as GU
townsman, E. P. Seeds, would reJoil
over the success of the most corrupt
politician of the present generation.
Quayism stands for everything dis
graceful in politics, for everything that
tends to discredit government by the
people. A few years ago Mr.. Seeds
would have regarded such character
IS Quay with adherence, but now, un-
der the seductive influence of Wash
ington life, he rejoices in the triumph
of the Quay machine over honesty,
decency and fair dealing.
Mr.. Seeds lapse from right thinking
is only another evidence of the differ
ence between building up and breaking
down. 1t takes time to build up, but
the breaking down, the destroying pro-
cess, is easily and quickly accomplished.
We trust that our townsman will shake
from his reasoning faculties the dete-
fiorating dust Of Washington methods,
and return to the ways Of his normal
thinking at the earliest date possible.

Interesting Facts SHOWN BY Census OF

Island, the smallest of the states, leads
in density of population. "Little Rhody"

trifle less than one-fourth of the popula-
tion of the whole country dwell in 1853

The census of 1900 shows that in
Rhode Island there less than two

acres to one inhabitant.
The census of 1900 shows that the
center Of population is in Indiana west
of Columbus. In 1900 it was % miles
east of Baltimore and has shifted al
most due west at the rate of 40 to 60
miles each decade except from 1850 to
1860, when it moved west by north 81
miles.
The census of 1900 shows that there
are in round numbers $4,000 separate
farms in the United States and terri
tories and about 100000 manufacturing
