ANOTHER ROYAL SENsATIoN.-It
seems that queens are the trump cards
that are now playing the leading
hands in the game of life; at least
they take in the most tricks, whether
they amount to much or not. 1t is
now Queen Marsherita of Italy, who
poses in the public eye as . surprise to
the conventional life of all classes of
society. It is seldom that morgantic
marriage is contracted by the feminine
branch Of royalty, but this is the excep.
ton said to prove the rule. Queen
Marguerite is the widow OF the assas.
sinated King Humbert, since whose
tragic end she has spent most OF the
time in seclusion. It was while on q
trip to Norway she met an engineer
who is now her husband. His name
is not given, but he is said to be a
handsome young man 30 years of age,
while the Queen is 50. The Queen is
an exceedingly accomplished and in
telligent woman, and although her
marriage comes Is q shock to her peo-
pie, there is very little doubt but that
she has done the proper thing.

civil and criminal laws relating to pub
lie lands and the laws relating to postal
crimes and offenses and the subject of
naturalization" In other words, the
President asks Congress to turn over
several hundred thousand dollars, APP
propriated for specific purpose, for
the use OF the Administration in the
general enforcement of the laws. Such
an act is a violation of the spirit OF the
Constitution and OF express provisions
OF the statutes, which declares that all
appropriation shall be made for spe-
citic purposes.
In another part of his message
which deals with Panama, Mr.. Roose-
welt has shown himself TO be the arbi-
trary interpreter of acts OF Congress.
The last Congress instructed the Presi-
dent to neg otiate treaty with Co.
lumbia for the Panama canal. Such
negotiations failed, and after the revo-
luton in Panama, the President held
that the orders OF Congress did not
refer particularly to the government
OF Columbia, but to any government
which might thereafter get possession
OF the canal. Such An Interpretation
was forced, showed lack of appre-
citation of the powers of Congress and
established bad precedent.
In the matter OF recess appointments
the President made another arbitrary
decision. The extra session Of Con-
gress ended at noon last Monday.
The regular session began at once.
The appointments of General Wood,
DR.. Crum and others had not been
confirmed by the Senate. In order
that these men might continue to
draw their salary as recess appoint
ments, until the Senate acted upon
them, the President held that there
was an infnitesimal recess between
the two sessions and sent in the nomi-
nations again as recess appointments.

An Amusing Encounter.

y Washington dispatch OF Monday
makes mention OF a passage-at-arms
between Senator Hosr of the old Bay
State, and Editor Scott OF the equally
venerable and veneratod Orrgonian,
which took place when those gentle
men were ascending in an elevator
cage to the Senate chamber, in the Ma
/ tional Capitol. Senator Mitchell, who
was OF tho party, attempted to intro
duce Mr.. Scott to the at times irrasci-
/ bic sage from Massachusetts, and this
was the result: al decline to shake
hands with Mr.. Scott" replied the
Senator. "He insulted my friend,
Senator Merrill, some years ago, by
saying that he had remained in the
Senate long after he was dead, to save
burial expenses" Mr.. Scott immedi-
ately denied that he had ever witten
or published any such statement.
"You are editor of the Oregonian, and
that paper said it," retorted the irrate
Senator, and l decline to shake hands
with you, SIR" Then came the climax
of this thrilling episode.
81 am responsible" said Editor
Scott, "and turn my back upon you"
Now the question is presented, Who
won out-Senator Hoar or Editor
Scott? Does a cold blooded turn-back
express all the refined scorn of re.
jected hand.shake, and are honors
even, or is there something left for an.
other encounter, still another pictur-
esque pose, should the sapient Senator
scent some sour-smelling substance in
the columns of the Webfoot journal;
and would Editor Scott, after mature
reflection, again perform the question.
able altern alive Of presenting his back
to the enemy?
1t seems, at this distance, that nei.
Their party really had a grievance. If
q dead mans record had retained him
in the Senate, no higher praise could be
accorded than bare statement of that
fact. If any offense was given it was
surely to the people who persisted in
being represented by ghostly specter
in the House OF Lords. So the Sena-
tor was, in fact, kicking at an magma
ry grievance, which might become q
substantial reality should he again de-
cline to shake tips with the corpulent
editor, and that gentleman again dis
play his most vulnerable point Of as
sault. 1t should be borne in mind,
by boys of the larger growth, that it
is we'll to refrain from exhibitions of
spleen that indicate they have not
grown out of-or probably, more pro.
perly speaking, have really grown into
such childish manifestations OF the
spirit of Malevolence.

The Aeroplane.

For the hundredth time the problem,
OF aerial navigation has been solved
and as this time it was on plans en-
endorsed by the STANDARD many
months ago, As the only practical way
OF attaining the result with the pre-,
diction that it would sometime devel
op success, we feel somewhat like
growing ever the result.
The successful trial of this now form
Of device was made at Norfolk, Va, on
the 18th inst, by Wilbur and Orville
Wright, OF Ohio, who are exploited in
the city papers under such headlines
as these, 1.-TWO Americans solve the
Great Problem OF Aerial Navigation,
by Device which They Invent and
Build"
1t will be remem bered by our read
ers that the prediction was made in
these columns that when the matter
of navigating the air was discovered, it
would, like many other inventions, rs
found the world by its simplicity.
The difficulty, it was shown, was very
simple matter, merely to overcome at
traction of gravitation. The mechan-
ical force of a propeller wheel suggest
ed the practicability of overcoming
this difficulty simply by adapting a
light substance for the motor and fans
OF the aeroplane, when the result
would be attained with automatic GER
tainty that cause produces effect.
An account Of the trial trip an
nounced with megaphone accents in
the S. F. Examiner states that BY a
system of pulleys and cogs this engine
puts in motion six-bladed propeller
directly beneath it and another ex.
tending horizontally, in the rear. The
first is used to maintain the elevation
and the other to propel the machine.
1t started off a success from the be-
ginning and as the under propeller in.
creased its revolutions, the machine
gradually pointed upward and soon
had attained a height of sixty feet
among the rolling sand dunes. A
strong wind was blowing up the coas.
at a velocity of twenty-one miles an
hour, and the start was made directly
in the teeth of it, but the machine
maintained an even speed OF eight
miles an hour with ease. The aero
plane accomplished three miles. when

inventor, under the most perfect con.
troll, it neared the earth, and he let his
machine alight a. easily and gracefully

rs years ago. In 1864, he moved to
Elgin, ILL.,, where in 1850, he began
study Of law. He practiced that pro-
fession in Chicago from 1853 to 1861,
and in 1855 was married to Elizabeth
N. Hills. of that city. In 1861, he
received the appointment OF U. s. At.
torney for this Territory from Abra.
ham Lincoln, then President, and came
to the Far West. He resided with his

Will Wonders Never Cease ?

The statement is made on a no less
reliable authority than the S. F. En-
dminer that an organization with the
ponderous title Of the National Anti.
Oscillation Society of America has
been founded in Oakland, Cal, to sup.
press the custom supposed to have
originated in the Garden of Eden, oil
kissing. 1t has been founded by a
man named A. S. Rutherford, VINO is
Secretary of the society, and it has al
ready membership of over 500, but
the cause for his downright foolishness
or the reasons that have influenced his
deluded, self-denying followers, are not
given. A fac simiie Of the certificate
OF membership is given, in which the
oath is incorporated, to forever "fore.
60, renounce and abjure all pleasure,
qualification or enjoyment to be de-
rived from the use or practice Of the
art OF OSCILLATION, commonly called
kissing" and asserts that he, or she,
does this With sound mind and he
ole desire to promote and preserve the
happiness and freedom of the human
race. AS an aid to this resolution, the
member also obligates himself or her
self to abstain from all forms of attrac-
ton, allurement or fascination, such
as are commonly known as casting
cats eyes, Sleeps eyes, goo-goo eyes,
winks, bushes, or other forms of solic.
itation," or OF the use OF terms OF en-
dearment, such as "lovey, sweetness,
birdie. littlest, onliest, tootsy-wootsey,"
ETC., whether to member of the organ
ization or not. The certificate has a
seal, with ribbon-ends protruding, but
presumably not tied in lovers knot.
1t is pretentious looking document,
but whether it will be effective in re-
straing the promptings of nature, or
otherwise, remains to be senior
rather, proven. This latest fad shows
that there is no suggestion, no matter
how absurd, but what finds ready con-
verts. This will, however, prove as
evanescent as the little dew-drop which
vanishes at the first ray OF the morn
ing sun.
