As 1t Was in Spain.

On her entry into Spain, in 1899, says
the New York Press, the Queen of
Philip III, passed through a town Gel
ebrated for the manufacture of silk
stockings lit is an old story. The au-
thorities, wishing to show her some
courtesy, presented her with a costly
pair. The present was Indignantly re-
fused by the Queens chamberlain,
who informed the delegates that the
Queen of Spain had no legs" On
hearing this Her Majesty grew indig-
nant and threatened to return home,
saying: II would not have come to
Spain had known that my legs were
to be cut off, Since then it has been
customary to say that, officially, the
Queen of Spain has no legs"
The foregoing is a burlesque on
Spanish etiquette, quite as ridiculous
as the form of this day in the mat
ter of woman" and lady" Form
killed Philip III. He sat too long be-
fore a hot fire, the servant being alb
sent whose duty it was to moderate
the fire or to move the Kings chair,
and etiquette forbidding the King to
do it for himself. The scorching pro-
dueed fever which ended in death.

The Republicans of Utah do not
seem to have paid any regard to the
wishes Of the President i'm the matter
OF Apostle Shoots candidacy for the
United States Senate. In their caucus
on Wednesday night they selected him
as their candidate by an almost unan-
imous vote. His caucus nomination in
sures his election.
The President made a mistake in in
terfering the matter. His interference
was resented and had the effect, in
all probability. Of ass iG,lng in bring
ing about Mr.. SHOOTS nomination by
the caucus.
1t can be well understood why the
President did not want him in the
Senate He is an apostle in the Nor
mon Church. and there is still a strong
prejudice against the Mormons. Be
sides, it has been asserted that il is
the purpose of Mr.. Smoot to work for
certain legislation that is wanted by
the Mormon Church. Anything in that
direction is certain to be unpopular,
and the Republican party will have to
be responsible for whatever Mr.. Smoot
does in the line of legislation.
There is pretty strong suspicion
that the Mormon Church has not final
ly and forever given up polygamy-
that it is only waiting for a favorable
opportunity to practice 1t again. This
suspicion may be unfoUnded, but that
it exists there is no doubt. The decla-
rations of the Mormon Church in re-
gard TO it are not trusted.
There is certain to be agitation
against Mr.. Shoots admission to the
Senate, and the Republicans will have |
to defend and support him. That is
something they will not like-support-
ing and defending an unpopular man
and cause. No doubt the Republican |
leaders would have been glad if the
Presidents wishes in regard to Mr. |
Smoot had been respected. Neverthe- !
less, there is no doubt that the action
of the President was not regarded with
favor by the Republicans of Utah. nor
was it defended by the leaders of his
party generally.

FIRE PROTECTION IN HOMES.

Some days ago fire occurred in one
of the 'palatial residences" OF New
York, the home of Mrs. Henry The
house was situated in a fashionable
part of the city and contained every
thing that was necessary to make a
home comfortable and luxurious But,
as the New York Times points out, it
lacked one detail that would seem to
have been essential according to the
facts. 1t had no adequate means of
fire protection and was not provided
with fire escapes. Thus when the fire
broke out Mrs. Henry was burned to
death and a servant in her family was
killed by falling from the fourth story
In New York, as in most other cities
there are stringent laws regarding fire
precautions that are applicable to ho-
tells, tenement houses, stores, factories
and the like. But it appears there is
an absence of law governing such mat
ters as they relate to private resi-
dences. The probabilities are that if
this rich woman, Mrs. Henry had lived
in tenement house instead of her own
private palace she would have been
safer. In the event of fire in the tene-
rf1ent she would have found on the
outside of the building and easily
reached from the inside a non-combus-
tible fire escape, by means of which
she could have descended safely to the
sidewalk; or the firemen might have
made use of the fire escape to reach
her quickly and remove her from dam
ger. But she lived in a "palatial resi-
dence,' filled with inflammable mate
rial which proved to be a death trap.
There are probably thousands of other
similar death traps in New York: and
that city is not alone with respect to
the matter. Many private residences
have at least two sets. of stairways
down which safe flight may be made
in time of danger, but in great
many others economy of space pre-
cludes more than one stairway. 1t
seems that such buildings should be
provided with fire escapes, even at the
expense of rnarring their architectural
beauty. Architects and builders GER
tainly ought to be able to
solve the problem, and those who
build houses in crowded cities ought to
be willing to spend a little extra money
to secure protection for themselves and
their families.

one on the Archbishop.

A correspondent Of the Manchester
Guardian writes: May 1 add one TO
the stories that are being recorded of
the late Archbishop of Canterbury? It
is nearly thirty years old, but 1 do
not think it ever became public. Soon
after he was appointed Bishop Of Elk
eter he came to my fathers rectory for
a confirmation. Ny eldest sister was
just old enough to come down to din
ner, and her proud mother could not
resist telling the Bishop of her useful
ness in the parish.
80 Wherever 1 go replied DIR. Tenn
pie, 1 find a rector, a di-rector'-in-
dicating my mother-'and a mis-direc-
tcr'-indicating my sister
And when your Lordship comes
replied my mother, with a profound
obeisance, we have a cor-rector.'
THE future Archbishop, who could
say hard thing, but knew when he
had got his answer, flung his head
back and filled the room with his
laughter Yet it is rather in our fam
lily than elsewhere that the story has
been kept alive"

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Chicago Times Dem) says:
Nebraska farmers, who are burning
corn for fuel, may have some slight
doubts as to the entire beneficence of
the tariff on coal as expounded by
Hale, Aldrich & Co., guardians and
defenders of the sacred memory of
Nelson Dingley."
The Louisville Courier-J Journal
(Dem.) says; Senators Foster of
Louisiana and Taliaferro of Florida,
are reported at work in the effort to
get enough Southern Democratic sena-
tors to go into caucus against the
Cuban treaty to defeat it, the plea be-
ing that it is aimed at two important
Southern products. sugar and tobacco,
This would be pretty bad handicap
to the Democratic party ON the eve of
its campaign for tariff reform"
The Norfolk Va.) Landmark Dem)
says: Each day as the winter adj
vances the people of the Western and
Northeastern states grow more FESTIVE
over the coal famine. They are the
states that count most in politics The
coal operators have not worried them
selves, in our opinion, about the South

litical conditions which it has had to

states like Kansas, Illinois, Connecti-
cut, and Massachusetts pour forth the

The Chattanooga Times (Dem.) says;
Representative Russell of Texas has
called the attention of the House to
the abuse of the private pension bus
mess. He showed that the House. sit
ting less than forty working days. has
already passed LOAF private pension
bills. about twenty-six per days ses-
sion! 1t is simply preposterous to hold
that such a number of cases could
have been properly considered and de-
termined in committee, in such time
as the committee has had for the
work. 1t would be perfectly safe to
class 80 per cent. of these grants of
bounty as pure steals; and they are
as much worse as would be like steals
through the pension bureau, i'm that
they involve the legislative branch In
the nasty peculation. The whole pri-
vate pension business has become dis
graceful, dirty, a part of the lowest
order Of party politics"

The Pearl Before swine,

Gen. David B. Henderson, the ex-
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives, loves occasionally to guy his
fellowmen good naturally, says the
Mail and Express. On one OCCASION,
when he was still Speaker he and a
party of cronies, fishing in Lake Min
netonka, went ashore to cook their
dinner. AS they sat about the camp
fire they saw a particularly green
looking farmer passing on the road
above. Gen. Henderson hailed him
and the farmer came slouching down
the bank
Good morning, good sir" said the
General, majestically. "And prithee
what may be thy nance"
My names Absolom Pearl" the
farmer answered, simply.
Marry! it's a good and worthy name
withal" the Speaker continued, after
the stilted manner of Elizabethan play
ers. And are thou, good fellow, the
Pearl without price,"
No said the farmer, quietly, look
ing over the party in front of him. 81
am the Pearl that was cast before
swine"
And he walked away solemnIy.

The Republicans were frightened into
| making the concession Of putting coal
on the free list for one year. II free
coal is good thing for one year why
not for hundred years? Are the
Republicans afraid that il they should
| put coal on the free list permanently
there would Immediately come a de-
| mand 10 put other things on the free
list? 1t certainly looks So
But the demand is coming even
though free coal is limited to one
year. There is a growing sentiment
all over the country, particularly in
the West, in favor OF lower tariff rates,
and the Republicans will have to
yield TO it, or go out of power. 1t
is not at all likely they will yield to
it, because they are in the grip of
trusts which insist upon the present
high tariff. The people therefore must
turn to the Democratic party for help,
and they viii turn to it. The prospects
OF the Democrats for electing the next
President are steadily improving.
The Republicans are trying to turn
attention from the tariff on coal and
the tariff generally by attacking the
owners Of the coal mines. There is
no intention to proceed to the length
of having the government take possess
sion of the coal mines and operate
them. There is no purpose to make
effective the resolution introduced into
the House on Wednesday, by the Judic-
larry Committee, instructing that COM
mittee to inquire as to the power of
Congress to take possession of the coal
mines and the coal carrying roads, with
the view of operating the mines to re-
lieve the coal famine. The intention is
to create the impression that the coal
mine owners and the coal carrying
roads are responsible for the famine,
and that the tariff has nothing to do
with it. Doubtless also the Republi-
cans want the people to think that
their party is ever on the alert to serve
them.
There isn't any probability that Con-
gress will adopt the resolution. And
if it did adopt it is doubtful il coal.
WOulQ De IllIlSu anu QiSATlDuleu ldsleT
than the coal companies are doing it.
The charge is not made that there
is a deliberate purpose to hold back
coal in order to continue the famine
and thus make 1t possible to charge
a famine price. If that charge were
made and proved it would be difficult
to prevent the people from mobbing the
coal mine operators and coal carrying
railroads. If there were ground for
such a charge the fact would
be made known, because the best of
feeling does not exist between the min
ers and the operators. The miners
are not profting by the present famine
price. AS far as known they are get
ting no more for mining coal than they
get when the price is normal. If
production were being kept down
the public would not be in igno-
rance of it. 1t is not easy to see there
fore what the purport of the resolu-
ton is, except it be, as already stated,
namely to draw attention from the
tariff and create the impression that
the Republican party is ever ready
to serve the people.

Cole Younger, the bandit released
