Shelter to MonOpolies."

The shelter" part Of the declaration
has caused great deal of trouble. and
not all the Iowa Republicans have been
able to get in under it. Ex-Speaker
Henderson was one of these. for he with
others contended that to say the tariff
might afford a shelter to monopoly was
q crime against the sacred schedules and
an admission of the contention made by
the enemies of protection. Now the
Iowa idea" is to be pruned, the shelter
to monopoly" is to be stricken out. and
the old meaningless plank OF the st. Louis
platform is to be rewritten. brought
up to date and palmed off as the latest
and most approved form of the Iowa
idea

asylum on the ground of being insane.
For this is the usual way of enabling
ilIustrious personages who have been
guilty of crime to evade the penal con
sequences of their misdeeds. They are
pronounced insane either before or after
conviction, transferred TO private lu-
matte asylum on the pretext OF being
mentally irresponsible, and then after
a brief period of detention quietly lib
Grated on the understanding that they
keep out of sight, at any rate for a
time.
1t is impossible to conceive anything
more cowardly or disgraceful than the
murder of which Prince Prosper was
convicted by two successive courts-mar-
tial. 1t seems that the prince, who is
a species of e'er-do-wen and who
had been sent out to tie colonies on
that account. had been placed IL com
mand of a district in German South
west Africa.
According to the evidence on which
he was convicted he one day lured a
half-breed official, named Willie Keen,
the son of an Englishman and of a ma
tive woman, up to his rooms, and after
making him drunk, bound him, tied him
up, and in this helpless position tor
tured and illtreated him in a manner
which will not bear description. After =
ward. in answer TO the mans entreaties
for mercy, he set him free, but followed
him out, and walking up to the sentry
on duty ordered the latter to shoot him
The soldier refused, and when threat
ened with court-martial fired first of
all into the air. and then reluctantly al
Willie Keen, wounding hin, in the leg
and causing him TO fall.
The unfortunate man struggled to his
knees. whereupon the prince rushed up
to him and emptied his revolver into
the man. who was pleading for mercy
Finally as Keen lay there insensible and
dying, Arenberg, according to the evil
denca produced in court, deliberately
thrust his stick into the wounds made
in the PROSTATE mans head with his re-
yolver in order to hasten the end.
All this is matter OF official record,
which at the time OF the princes trial
few years ago was fully exploited in
the German press, the Berlin comic pa
pers even going so far as to suggest both
in print and In picture when the prince
was convicted and sentenced to impris-
onment that the dummy of a black man,
a revolver and, above all, stick should
be given TO him in his cell in order TO
enable him to pass away the time, to
him, in an agreeable fashion
There is but one life. namely, that Of
the two-year-o infant of the Duke Of
Arenberg between the murderer and the
succession to the dukedoms, not alone CT
Arenberg, but likewise OF Meppen, of
Croy, of Aerschot, as well as the rrin-
cipality of Recklinghausen, and a gran
deeship of the first class of Spain.

BEAUTY FROM ASHES.

Housed with a mollusk of the sea,
Some atom life of mean degree
Must perish that Il pearl may be-
Extinguished, in its purple cave,
From prison wall and crystal wave,
It's ruin wins a glittering grave.
Till. like dewdrop cool and clean.
Englobed in light, a gem serene
AGorns the bosom Of a queen
o life that climbs from power to power!
Each darkness brOods a brighter hour,
Each fading sows a fairer flower.
o triumph of divine desires
When human passion chokes its fires.
And all the brute in man expires!
TIL then the soul of vanquished pain,
The Drawer loss the grander gain.
The search of love among the slain.
For God discerns with punctual eyes
The godlike where the carnal dies,
And clothes with light the ransomed
prize.

"Of sorrows tears. of suppliants breath

Machine Against Folk.

The State machine. however, is against
him, but Folks scheme does not contem-
plate nomination at the hands of the
regular Democratic State convention.
He hopes to be nominated by the In
dependents, and then TO receive the in
dorsement of the Republicans. For thir-
ty years the latter have made unsuc-
cessfuI attempts to overturn the Demo-
cratic majority and elect Republican
governor.
Folk believes that they will jump at
the chance of indOrsing him. in the ex-
pectation OF defeating the Democratic
machine He could probably command
a large campaign fund contributed by
his wealthy admirers, but conserva tive
politicians of the State declare that he
could not by the exercise of any politi-
cal stratagem be elected governor.
Should his plan to obtain the nomina-
tion be successful. it would certainly
be followed by an interesting and hard
fought campaign.

Mutual Concessions.

So ii appears that concessions have
been made on both sides. Governor Cum
Minis is satisfied that he has converted
the President to his wav of thinking,
and the whole plan is said to have the
approval of Senator Allison. The prop
osition now is to have the next Iowa
State convention. which meets about
July l. adopt the modified Iowa idea. -
That will be the first gun fired by the
revisionists. 1t VIII be talked about and
written about a great deal. and when

it will be offered as the party's decIara-
ton for tariff revision.

1t is designed that the field of comps-
tition be as broad as possible. that the
amateur shall be altogether free in his
choice of subject. His pictures may de-
pict landscapes, seascapes. portraits,
paintings, groups of statuary, or studies
in genre. The measure of merit will be
correspondingIy broad and the award of
the prizes will depend on many things
originality in composition, naturalness
of effect, igenuity in development and
printing, beauty. the expression of senti-
ment, the relation of a story, or any OF
the general qualities which distinguish
the photograph made by the lover OF
beautiful pictures from that made by
those who use the camera only mechan-
ically.

Must Reckon With Eastern Magnates.

All that may be very nice so far rs
It goes. but even If the plank had the
Endorsement of the President and Sen
ator Allison. Governor Cummins will be
obliged TO reckon with the Eastern high
ctionists-Republican who abhor
the Iowa idea" and regard it as a
step in the direction OF free trade. The
outcome Of the matter is likely to be &
straddle on the question of making
changes in the tariff, one which will
mean to the high protection element of
the East that the sacred Dlngley
schedules are not to be impaired. and to
the Western Republicans. who demand
changes. that there will be notifications
governed by conditions" After all
that is said about it, the report that
the President and Governor Cummings
have agreed upon tariff plank IS not
so important as it might at FIRST appear.

Prince Bernhardt's Retirement.

Prince Bernhard Of Sake Meiningen' S
retirement from the command Of the
military district of Silesia and of the
Sixth Army Corps, owing to the disap-
prevail by his brother-in- law, the Kaiser,
of his general order severely condemn
ing the maltreatment of soldiers by their
officers especially the non commission
ed ones. has now been followed by the
retirement of General Won Gossier, the
Prussian minister of war. who, III the
opinion Of the Emperor. has no. OPP
posed with sufficient energy The charges
brought by Herr Bebel and Others in
the Reichstag of brutality perpetrared
by non-commissioned officers on the men
under their command.
While, of course, it is necessary 10
maintain at all costs the prestige of
the army, yet it may be questioned
whether the Emperor is not making a
mistake in taking this means of deal
ing with definitely proved and publicly
known cases of maltreatment of his SOL
diers. 1t would be far better for him to
have followed the example of his bro
ther-in-law, Prince Bernard of Sake
Meiningen, in denouncing and condemn
ing the offenses that everyone knows to
exist, than to punish those generals who
have admitted that such condition 81
affairs prevails, and who have publicly
taken measures TO amend it.
General Won Gossler, by the by, has a
son. who for number of years past
has been settled in this country in busi-
ness in New York as stock broker. and
who has made number of friends here.
