From the New York Commercial Advcrtiser)
IL NAV he doubted whether there ever was a
duel fought in this country between American
politicians on the issue of an open argument,
and the records may be searched in vain for an
example Certainly in the more tragic and best
known cases such as the killing Of Alexander
Hamilton, personal hatred was the impcing
cause.

Hollands Roya, wedding.

Pretty, gentle Wilhelmina, girl Queen Of
Holland, radiant in her wholesome colors
OF cream and rose, and glowing with the
fires of youth and love, is a bride-mar-
ried as few reignng sovereigns are, to
the man of her maiden choice. So the we'd
ding of Wilhelmina to Heinrich of Meek
lenburg- Schwerin is love match as we'll
as an affair of state, and on the former
rather than latter account is of interest
to all healthy minded people who love to
see the young and pure mate in their
season. and live together after the beau
tiful monogamic law OF nature and Chris
tianity
Americans have warm place in their
hearts for the plucky Dutch girl who
would not be put up in the matrimonial
market by her Ministers, but told them
natly that, in the matter of husband. she
would suit herself. We all admire the
kindness and courage of the little lady
IN publicly honoring the exiled President
Of the South African Republic, when all
the other potentates and Governments of
Europe gave him the cold shoulder. Lastly
we cannot help glorying in that gentle
womanly spirit which imbued the young
Queen when she refused to be an excep-
ton to the custom of her land and the
law of her Church, which provide that
wives shall at the altar promise obedience
to their husbands.
Wilhelmina, Queen of all Dutch terri
tories and in her happiness today queen
of all hearts everywhere, has started well
on her career. and, he would be a miser
apie misogynist indeed, who did not most
cordially wish her Godspeed and all the
blessings that Providence is able to
shower upon her and hers.

Englishmen are the most patient peo-
pie on earth. but point has been

They are chiefly occupied now in specu-

seems to be generally taken for granted
that the budget vii provide a significant
departure from the principle of free
trade, and 1t is equally possible that
this important precedent will not cause
the political cataclysin which such a
proposition would have created even
three or four yearss ago.

tary Chamberlain favors u tax on sug-

revenue will take this form. 1t will, of

a TENDER SPOT IS TOUCHED.
People of England Must Pay Dearl,
For south African War.

London, Feb. 26 The days of pay,
pay, pay" are at hand, and the groan-
ings and lamentations have begun thru
out the land. A year ago the country
faced a heavy budget with the equa-
trinity with which Englishmen always
bow to the inevitable. This year the
announcement of serious increase in
the burden Of taxation is not received
with the same philosophical resignation.
The fact that the government is still
sending out more troops in the most ex-
pensive war that England has ever
waged 10 having a more powerful effect
on the public opinion than the very
events that happen in South Africa It
self
The genera! popular attitude thus far
has been that, while there have been
plenty of blunders, both at the war Of
flee and in the field, yet these were in
separable from any British campaign.
The sole excuse Of the immense area Of
operations has been accepted as ade-
huate on the whole for the multitude Of
sins and has been held to be a sufficient
explanation of the failure OF great
army to crush few thousand burghers
y in eighteen months fighting.

A GREAT CRIME.

The dastardly attack on the President
has called forth the sympathy and in
dignation of every right minded citizen
of the United States and of every civil
lied country in the world.
The fact that attempts have been
make on the lives of three of our Presi-
dents in the last forty years points les
son which the country would do we'll to
lay to heart. When our fathers framed
the constitution the danger they most
feared was that the Executive might
override the other branches of the gov
eminent. To-day the danger to our
government lies not in Imperialism, but
in the presence in this country of con-
siderable body of desperadoes, the out
casts of Continental Europe, holding
the principles of Anarchism. Either
the Federal government or the govern
ment of the several States should take
steps either to expel them from this
country or to render their presence
harmless.
We are glad to note that Governor
voorhees, is as usual wide awake as to
the necessity of our State doing some
thing in this direction.

Erdman he said the feeling of horror
and gloom which overcast Buffalo and
the Exposition grounds the afternoon
and evening following the shooting of
the President, was indescribable. Thou
sands surrounded the places where bull
etins were displayed and as they became
more favorable they were greeted with
subdued expressions of heartfelt graft
tude.
Commenting on the exposition DR..
Erdman said: 1T is simply marvellous.
| was not present at the worlds fair in
Chicago, although it was my pleasure to
attend the exp .sition in Paris in 1889.
| am confident that neither could have
excelled the Buffalo exposition as to
grandeur and symmetry of buildings
and harmony Of color and design. As
to the electrical effects. they are simply
marvellous beyond description. Wore {
'annot begin to describe the wonderful
and beautiful effects The exposition
will well rel ay the visitor"

AND THAT FRANCHISE7

The very peculiar proceedings of the
Democratic majority of the Board of
Aldermen with regard to the lighting
contracts need some explanation. The
chairman of the Street Light Commit
tee assured the Board that the prices
paid were as low as those paid by other
towns, but as he did not seem TO know
exactly what others paid, it might have
been we'll to have laid the matter over that
he might find out. Then, if the facts
had borne him out, everybody would
have been satisfied to see the contracts
awarded as they were. For some rea-
son or other the majority of the Board
was unwilling to wait, and insisted not
only in making the contract then but in
making it for three years. This indecent
haste requires some explanation. The
public are wondering exceedingly at
the contracts being awarded, especially
when Alderman Hurting declared that
he knew that cheaper light could be
procured within year and the Alder
man seldom says such things without
knowing what he is about.
