One Way to Get "A Wife.

The accidental dropping of dime
down his back secured bride for
George Holden, of Scranton, Pa. Hold
en- is % years of age. One night at
the theater a ten-cent piece slipped
from the hand of Miss Hatty Sturgis.
Although a thorough search was made
by Miss Sturgis and a girl friend, it
could not be found. The girls were
dismayed, for they had no money and
their homes were nearly two miles
distant. Holden, although five cents
was the extent of his belongings, and
he an entire stranger, gallantly offered
to escort them home. His offer was ac-
cepted. In bidding adieu to the young
women he explained that the lost coin
had slipped down his back and was
then reposing in his left sock. Cap
tivated by his neat speech, Miss Stur-
yis encouraged his attentions. and the
other day they were married.

scribes her as a "high flyer at fash
ioH." Judging from accounts of a re-
cent visitor to Russia, the same dis
tinctiOn characterizes the husband
and wife. This visitor describes his
interview with the great author and
reformeT. The count was in peasant
dress and received his guest in a
plainly furnished study. But when
the two repaired TO the reception
room they found the countess in
magnificent court costume, and the
ladies who were with her were sim
ilarly attired. These things, how
ever, are mere matters of taste.
From the events of the late uprising
in Russia it would seem that the
countess has a peculiar right to be
heard and honored by everyone. Her
husbands accommodation gave her
an opportunity of issuing a public
letter which was especially appeal
ing. The brave wife closes her letter
in these words: God will be lenient
to those who even outside the church
have lived a life of humility, renun-
citation of the good things of this
world, love and devotion. His par
don is surer for them than for those
whose miters and decorations sparkle
with precious stones. but who strike
and expel from the church those
over whom they are set as pastors.
Hypocrisy would vainly distort my
words, for good faith does not err
in judging peoples real intentions" ."

acted as her husbands friend, secre-
tary and critic. The romance of
their lovemaking is found in "Anna

FRANCE NOT AFRAID.
Plot Against the Republic Hatched
by the Bonapartists.
Followers of Prince Louis Napoleon
Propose to Make September II
Memorable in the History
of Their Country.

Bismarck's saying that an enemy
who names a day for his attack is
not formidable, viii be recalled by
the story which comes from London
of the new plot against the French
republic. This tale is given with
good deal of circums stantiality and it
comes from Paris, from a person who
is said to be favorable to the scheme.
Prince Louis Napoleon, a descendant
OF Jerome, one of the brothers of
Napoleon l., is an officer of the Rus
sian army. On September II Nicholas
Ii. IS to promote the prince 10 the
rank of general in the Russian forces.
On that day big demonstration is
arranged in France by the friends of
Bonaparte pretensiOns, in the inter
est of the prince.
This is the programme as outlined
by the tale from Paris, published in
London paper, and cabled to the
United States. Young Louis Napole-
on is represented to be a good officer
and a popular person, and a favorite
of the czar. All this is true. Possibly
there is some truth in the story that
he is to be promoted by the czar at
an early day. and September ii would
be just as good day as any other
for the advancement to take place, so
far as the world can see. But will the
promotion cause a Bonapartist dem
onstration? VIII this demonstra-
tion, if it occurs, have any influence
on the political fortunes of this or
any other member of the Bonapartist
house? These are queries which time
only can answer.
Meanwhile, says the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat, a few considera-
tions can be shown to stand in the
way of the success of any Bonapart-

Orleanist monarchy and the second
empire. Napoleon Ills, that the
eighteenth century was the dead line
in the life of a French government.
The third republic has left that line
so far behind that il is hard to figure
out off-hand just when it has crossed.
The present French ministry, if il
lives a few weeks longer, will have
outlasted all the other cabinets,
about three dozen in number, which
have come to the front since Theirs
days at the head of the republic. The
republic is apparently stronger now
than it ever has been in the past. In
the chamber of deputies only cor

is an able and popular person and a
capable soldier, and as he has great
prestige in Russia, the country of his
adoption, he has often figured in the

BL ON Il r CONS THU
ZION4L ZZBER TY.

The recent decisions. of the
United State Supreme Court in the
insular cases uphold the imperial
istic policy of the Republican adj
ministration, though it can not be
said that the opinions are partisan.
On the side of the majority were
tour Republicans and one Demo
Crat and the minority consisted Of
two Democrats and two Republi
cans. This fact would seem to
ship in the opinions Of the judges.
The gist of the descisions is that
the admins tration can govern the
insular possessions without regard
to constitutional limitations. This
means simply that President Nc
kinley is the ruler of Porto Rico,
the Philippines and Hawaii, just as
he has been for some time. Ac-
cording to the decisions Of the
court the constitution does not fol-
low the flag. The Fillpinos and the
Porto Ricans are welcome to all the
satisfaction they can get out Of the
flag, but when it comes to the con-
stitution it is horse Of very diff
ferent color. They may look at
the flag and wax patriotic but that
is as far as they can go.
The decisions will greatly facili-
tate President Mckinley in carrying
out his colonial policy, while the
ant: imperialists see in the courts
judgment a serious blow to consti-
tutlonal liberty in America. 1t is
construed by them as radical de-
parture from the principles embod-
led in the constitution and the de-
claration Of independence. Those

EOR GOOD ROADS.

The National Good Roads Jour
nal says: "There is no more com
mon interest than the common
road. Moral and social interests
demand good roads. Human and
philanthropic interests urge them.
Commercial and transportation in
terests necessitate them"
The agitation of the question Of
good roads should not cease until
the country is tyaversed by first
class thoroughfares. There should
not be a single foot of inferior road
In the parish of Lafayette. Here
the soil is of such character that
the work of bodybuilding is rem
dered very easy. Drainage, which
is so difficult of accomplishment in
other sections, is comparatively in
expensive in this parish.
The recent good roads conven-
ton held in New Orleans has had
the effect of calling public attention
to the grea: importance of better
highways. Progressive men every
where recognize the incalculable
benefits to be derived from good
roads. What is needed is agitation
of the question. Without popular
interest the movement will fail of
it's purpose. So soon as the people
realize the loss of time and
money occasioned by poorly kept
roads they will get together and in
sist upon an improved system.
The farmer. who is the chief suf-
ferer, should take the lead in a
movement toward good roads. The
merchant, whose success depends
upon the ability of the farmer to
travel to town, is also greatly in
terested in this matter.
General Harrison Otis, Of Cali
fornia, has truthfully said:
ssNext to the love Of God, family and
friends, the greatest boon that can come to a
people is civilization had good government,
in which good roads play important
part. Good roads mean progress and de-
velopment and civilization in benghted re-
gions, and diminished wear and tear on
animals and vehicles, and a saving of time
and money

MAJOR HEARSE US
D/CZION.
Pre-

The growth of imperialism in this
country, superinduced by the re-
cent decision of the Supreme Court
in the Porto Rican cases, recalls to
our mind an editorial written by
Major Hearsey, late editor of the
Daily States, just before the Span
ish-American war. Major Hearsey
welded his powerful pen in opposi-
ton to the war and foresaw in the
approaching conflict the beginning
of the end of constitutional liberty
in the United States. He saw
through the thinly yelled preten-
sions of the lmperialists the greed
of conquest and pointed out the
dangers of war waged in the name
of humanity, but in truth and in
fact for mercenary purposes.
Major Hearsey expressed these
views before a shot was fired.
Manila was not then thought of.
The country-or rather the news
papers and the politicians-clam-

it no doubt resulted in betterment
of the Cubans. But how did it
affect the United States? Are there
not indications that Major Hearsey
saw with prophetic eye the fatal
outcome of it all? At least Justice
Harlan of the United States Su-
preme Court seems to think SO.
He does not say with DR.. Palmer
that tsthe Empire is here" but he
speaks of "radical and mischiev
Gus change in our system of govern
ment." Recent events seem to
bear out the prediction of the la
mented journalist.
