Sarah, the first duchess of MarlbOr-
Ough, whose t"mpeStuOuS character
lacked many of the ordinary graces of
wOmanlincss. was vet sincerely loved
by the two persons who knew her
bcSt-hcr husband, the Duke of MARI
borough, and the good Queen Anne.
Among the many pictures which Mr..
Fitzgerald MOllOy, the biographer Of
the duchess, incorporated in his Life
is one which is not only lively, but
charming:
On the death Of the duke the duchess
found, in Il cabinet where he kept all
that he most valued, Il mass of her
hair. Years before when he had
thWartcd her in something she resolv-
r1 to mOrtify him, and. knowing that
her beautiful and abundant hair was u
source Of pride and delight to him, she
had it cut of.
The shOrn truSscs were left in room
through which the duke must pass and
in Il place where he must see them, for
whatever Marlborough's lady did she
did thoroughly. But he came and went,
saw and spoke to her and showed nei
thcr anger, sorrow nor surprise.
When he next quilted the house, she

locking glass she saw how foolish Il

come of them until. after the death of

things which he had held most pro

A CONSPIRACY.

San Francisco Chronicle: Captain
Christmas, the author of the charges
OF bribery in connection with the sale
Of the Danish West Indies islands to
the United States, has been repudiat-
ed in Copenhagen. His charges are,
therefore, discredited at the Danish
capital as well as at Washington. The
Danish ministry officially announce
that he was not acting in any sense
a their agent. The Danish premier
refused him an audience and declined
to receive a copy OF his report on the
subject Of the negotiations. In Wash
ington everyone named as implicated
in the charges has made the most posi-
tive denial under oath Of any rela-
tions with Christmas. The whole
miserable business has, therefore, re-
solved itself plainly into a conspiracy
on the one hand to embarrass the
administration at Washington.

SOCIAL DEMOCRACY.

for all the kings and potentates of the
world. He tapped Henry of Prussia
on his august bosom and how-dyed
him in the true familiar fashion OF
brotherhood. Now the merchant prince
OF Philadelphia has squeezed the mail

him he is IAN enterprising young man,

HIS ROLL.

Philadelphia Record: From the lat
est official report Of the treasury, it is
evident that the sources Of govern
ment surplus revenue will not be en-
tirely closed by the repeal Of the war
taxes. The customs receipts for the
nine months of this fiscal year amount
to $3.50, 1900 which is $10,000,0 900
more than the receipts for the same
period of last year, and $40, 00O, 900
more than for the nine months Of the
fiscal year 1889. With the increase
Of the revenues from customs there
Is at the same time a considerable re-
duction Of expenditures for the army
in the Philippines and Cuba.

creasing surplus. II perchance some
OF our tariffs are no longer needed for
revenue or to encourage and protect
U industries at home, why should
they not be employed to extend and
promote markets abroad?" The .reci-
.procity idea, as clearly presented by
Mckinley, contemplates retaining the
foreign trade we have got and secur.
ing more, which Is necessary to our
continued industrial progress and
prosperity. The foremost protection
list of his time saw in this nothing
inimical to that policy.

New York Sun: The democratic
party would be without hope except
for the southern states. There are its
brains and the only majorities upon
which it can rely. Obviously, there
fore, the time has come when to the
south belongs the shaping Of the demo-
cratic national policy, and logically
the candidate nominated by the DEM
ocratic national convention in 1904
should be a representative Of the DOM

LAW OF BouNTlEs.
Opinion on Subject by Attorney Gen.
erals Office.

An opinion rendered a few days ago
by the attorney generals Office is like
ly to result in requiring more strict
compliance with the provisions of the
state bounty law than has heretofore
been yielded, as it places a construc-
ton upon one section of the law which
is different than has been accepted as
being correct. The attorney general
holds that the clause 'caused to be
killed" is intended to cover the case
of such as may place traps or poison
for the destruction of predatory ami
mails, and who, while they may have
..caused to be killed. wolves or other
animals for the destruction of which
the commonwealth pays a bounty, yet
cannot, as the man who shoots such
animals, swear positively, that they
killed them, not being actually pres
ent when death occurred. They know
that they placed such traps or poison
for the express purpose Of causing the
destruction of such animals and there
fore may swear that death was caused
by them through agencies employed
for that purpose.
The opinion was rendered in re-
Spouse to a letter from the secretary
OF the state board Of livestock com,
missioners and informs that gentle.
man that it is wrong and illegal for
merchants and others who buy the
skins Of animals on which the state
pays a bounty to swear that they
"eaused to be killed" the animals. as

referred to is too far fetched and oh
viously is not in compliance with the
intent and expressed ideas OF thu
! trainers Of the statute. Mr.. Preuit'

The influence welded by the Civic

MENACE OF INDIFFERENCE.

Philadelphia Ledger: Almost uni
formly, the reports of spring elections
in western towns and cities say that
a very light vote was polled. The
same thing is SO common in eastern
towns, and cities as to be an item Of
political calculation; comparatively
few OF the voters care to attend any
but a state or national election, and
politicians base their plans for munic-
ipal manipulation largely on this fact.
Thoughtful people will perceive in this
tendency to shirk an easy but import
ant public duty n of the gravest
perils to the American plan of self
government.

SIGN or PROSPERITY.

Chicago Inter Ocean: The great
ness of no country is to be measured
by the normous wealth Of the few
non-producting clippers Of coupons,
nor yet by the millions accumulated
by the great captains Of industry. 1t
is true that, as a rule which has few
exceptions, the fortunes of the multi
millionaries, or of the millionaires,
represent superior intelligence, fore
sight, enterprise and energy. Great
riches are generally earned by hard
brain work, courage and pe~rsistency
in wisely directed effort, and the men
who achieve them by increasing the
common wealth, by expanding the
fields of industrial production, or en-
larging the areas of commerce, are
Justly entitled to the rewards they re-
ceive for their superior sagacity and
sshrewdly directed endeavor. They
furnish employment to great hosts OF
|toilers, who, without the enterprise
of the capitalists, would stand idle in
the. market place, with none to en-
ploy them.
But Notwithstanding the useful, hon
ored place occupied by the men OF
wealth who promote the country's in
dustrial and commercial development,
1t is not their enormous individual
or aggregate fortunes which repre-
sent the real greatness of the nation,
as that country is greatest and strong
est the plain people," the working
men and working woman, of which
can earn not only enough by their
labor to comfortably house, feed,
clothe and educate their children. but
to put something by for the rainy
day" Of the proverb.
If this country is measured by the
wealth of it's working people 1t will be
found to be the richest, most prosper
Gus country on the face of the earth.
| According to an authoritative report,
the savings fund deposits of the Unit
ed States have reached the enormous
total of $2,64O, 0O0, 900. During the
: last five years the deposits have in
creased $780, OO, 900. These are starts
ling figures, but they are undoubtedly
correct. The larger sum, for instance,
is greater than that which stands for
the entire Indebtedness of the nation

All depositors in savings banks are
not wag or salary earners, mol al
ways poor people, but the rich de-
positors are few, and the aggregate
deposits represent, if not the wealth,
the prosperity of the plain people,
who in Ave years have put into the
savings banks $780, 900, 900, or nearly
as much as the Understanding debt
Of the United States.
