''The Prince Incognito," by Elizabeth
Wormeley Latimer A. q. McClurg &
Co., Chicago
This very pretty story of the middle
Of the eighteenth century centers about
two years of the life of creole RinaIdo
d Este, hereditary prince of Modena,
during which time he disappeared from
his usual hauntS in France, and tells of
his actions in far-off Martinique, to
which island he had been baniShed by his
royal father with the enpatic order that
he must keep his identity secret. The
story is simply and sWeetiy told by An
TONNE, the convent-taught daughter of
Pastor Bialla, a leader of the French
Protestants in I4anguedoc, who became
the bride of the unknown travelling prince
and accompanied him to the West Indian
island There his identity was disclosed
through a mistake of his own and since
his rank gave her simply the position
of a morganatic wife, his companion re-
fused longer to live with the prince, but
on various occasions was able to release
him from dire peril, finally perishing in
a shipwreek while seeking relief in Eng
land from religious prosecutions. The
sufferings of the French Protestants are
well brought out, and the action of the
story continues strong throughout. al
though told in the plain and gentle words
of the girl who is its principal charac-
ter. 1t is a book that is worthy a care
full reading, and will prove an addition
to any library.

In a recent issue the conservative Re
publican New York Evening Post con-
tanned a letter written by former New
York merchant now in the Philippines,
whose integrity is vouched for by the ed
itor of the Post, in which the writer af-
firms that he has been told of hundreds
Of cases OF the application of the water
cure: 1t has been applied not only to
natives, but to American soldiers guilty
Of breach Of discipline. A young SOL
der from Milwaukee died from the effects
of the water cure.
These charges are not denied; they are
defended as necessary war measures
They are said to be effective. But they
are fendish, barbarous, cruel beyond be-
lief, heinous in the eyes Of men, hated Of
a just God, who cannot fail to exact the
penalty of those responsible.

My attention was called to the above
paragraph through a conversation
overheard between two supposedly rep
resentative and ,unquestionably Influential
citizens of St. Paul who were discussing
the possible outcome of the pending mu-
nicipal campaign at the Commercial club
a few days ago. &
One Of the gentlemen was deploring
the fact chat hewas unable to cast vote
for Mr.. Arnold, whom he designated "a
brother Canadian" because he, the inf1u-
entail citizen, was not an American cit
izen, and yet this Same gentleman has
drawn a steady salary for over twelve
years, to my knowledge, from one of the
leading banking institutions of st. Paul
The question occurred to me, rs he the
rule or only an exception to the general
run of Canadians and others of British
birth G.
A few inquiries on my part developed
the fact that he was one of large ma
jOrity of the Canadians and others who
avail themselves of all the privileges and
advantages of American citizenship while
Sinking all the duties and RESPONSIBLE
ties that attach thereto.

pulsory naturalization, for the man who

government that guarantees him pollt.
ical, civil and religious protection is not
destined to become a very worthy exem-

the thoughtful consideration of every

position at his disposal.
One of the first requisites to employ

MR.. BEIZ FOR THE COMPTBOIIFR-
SHIP

The voters of the city Of st. Paul will
asain have the choice presented to them
on election day between Louis Betz and
MI j. J. McCardy, as candidates for the
Office Of city comptroller. Had a trun
estimate been placed on the popularity of
Mr.. Betz during his former candidacy for
the Office, the choice would never have
been presented to them a second time
Mr.. Betz was then an unfamiliar ner-
sonality in political life. While well and
1aForaoly known as business man. he
was not generally recognized as DOS
sesslng the special qualifications essen
tial to the capable administration of the
office, 1t was not generally known that
ne was a first-class accountant; that his
business experience for many Years was
in directions which rendered him the ms
SCISSOR Of the knowledge which was most
needed in the position, or that his nom
lnation was made by the Democrats Of
ST. Paul with immediate view to his
splendid moral and technical qualifica-
tons for the Office
The situation has materially CHANGED
since that time. Mr.. Betz is now well
known to the masses of St. Paul Ills
qualification for the Office Of city CONN.,
troller is generally recognized. He is a
known business man of high standing
better qualified by business experience
than was Mr.. McCardy when that gentle
man was elected to the position in the
first place, and better qualified at all
times by personal disposition than ever
any man Of McCardy's temperament
could be to administer the Office to the
public satisfaction.
While Mr.. Betz has grown in public
favor by the more general knowledge
which prevails of him and his business
character and antecedents. the present
city comptroller has remained what he
has been from the beginning. Instead of
standing for the people as a whole. he
has proclaimed himself a narrow partisan
and his treatment Of those whose bust
ness calls them into relations with his
office cannot certainly have operated IN
the past two years. any more than it
had in the six years previous, to render
him any more acceptable.
The electors of st. Paul will make Mr..
Betz their city Comptroller, if at all, on
the strength Of his own positive claims

"War is murder, plain and fiat" wrote
the gentle American poet. In effect Gen.
Gordon declared that war is "organized
pillage, cruelty and murder" ''War is

martial trying a United States officer.
Maj. Littleton W. T. Waller, of the
United States marine corps, on duty in
the Philippines is on trial before this
court-martiaI on the charge Of executing
natives without trial-which means muir
dering them.
Giving testimony in his own behalf,
Maj. Waller swore that he had been in
structed to kill and burn; the instruc-
tons came from Gen. Jacob H. Smith.
who explained that the more he CValIerY
killed and burned the more satisfactory
his services would be.
Maj. Waller asked Gen. Smith to de-
fine the age limit for killing and he re-
piled everything over ten" The major

best be done by native troops, so that

An explanation of the water cure will
not fail to be interesting. A native is dis

troops. He refuses to give it. He is
tied, laid on his back with his head
raised; then a small stream Of water is
poured into him antil he nearly bursts

STRIKE BLOWS At M1L1IovA1REs.

Just now a lot Of people appear to be
conspiring to make several dozen Of our
millionaires unhappy. The prodding
doesn't come from the proletariat, al
ways a cordial hater Of the rich man,
either. The preacher at this juncture is
aided by particularly pertinacious and
pugnacious grand jury at St Louis and
now comes Warner Van Norden, presi-
dent of the Bank of North America, New
York, himself a wealthy man, and pitch
forks the possessors of dollars about with
an impetuosity that is calculated to make
Senator Ben Tillman, Of South Carolina,
turn green with envy. Mr.. Van Norden
sends two Of his daughters into the Sal
walton Army and says: 1.-The sordid
grasping after wealth and the things Of
this world which are only mortal has
taken away the attention of the human
race from the supernatural and ideal.
The soul is forgotten. Our mental atti-
tude is unequal to our temporal, making
a condition really abnormal"
Mr.. Van Norden turns his cleaning
tines on Russell Sage and then lands this
enc in the center of the citadel: eve
ought to strive to convert millionaires
and take them out of their wretched, sell
fish lives
And the st. Louis grand jury is work
ing right along this line. It is planning
to secure a discontinuance of the PERM
cious activity of certain wealthy men by
making them the nucleus of an exclusive
millionaires' club at Jefferson City The
body has already indicted three Of these
rich promoters and corporation officials
for bribery and perjury and, armed with
true bills, is on the trail of three other
corruptionists and go-betweens who are
supposed to be in Mexico or New Zea-
land.
So it is that the selfish, grasping mil
lionaire is buying himself trouble with
money. In the meantime the good, phil
anthropic millionaire, who gets his riches
because of his business acumen and gives
it back to his fellow men through college
and charity endowments, is daily earning
the thanks of grateful people
