where it would do the most good to
the Republican party. 1t is shown in
the article which we published Satur-
day that the entire work of testing oil
brought into this state could be done
as thoroughly as it now is, and exact
Iy the same supervision be exercised
over the oil companies and the same
protection be extended to the people, at
a total cost of less than $4,000 a year
on a business basis. The balance OF
$4,000 in round numbers would then
go into the state treasury and reduce
the peoples tax by that much. In
such case, however, the Republican
party would have to pay its own cam
paign expenses, and could not maintain
reliable machine year in and year
out at the cost of the state.
The whole business of oil inspection
in Minnesota has been made a scandal
from it's very inception. II the Repub-
lican party is shameless enough to
condition it's conduct of this Office on
the present basis, after having con-
fessed by it's change from the fee sys-
tenn to the salary system that the grab
had become odious to the people, it
must take the consequences. The oil
inspection service is only one illustra-
ton of the shameless greed and con-
tinual drafts upon the treasury to ad-
vance party interests that characterize
Republican rule in Minnesota.

On the word of the historian, we

unfortunate lady fell down stairs,

Never were there two mightier peers

NEW YORK AS A RESORT FOR REVOLUTIONISTS
FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD

New York, April 2.-For many years
New York has been headquarters for
revolutionists of many sorts, but it has
never been quite so thoroughly infested
in revolutionists since the days of Gu
ban Junta, as it is now.
There is a little hotel on Fourteenth
street to which the revolutionists nat
urally seem to gravtate. At the pres
ent moment there are probably a dozen
different sets of men domiciled in this
house, whose sole object in life is to
make long distance plots against the
integrity of their respective govern
ments.
There are Venezuelans, Colombians.
Dominicans and just now Macedonians.
The Macedonian crowd in New York
numbers about two dozen souls. Some
of them are living at this hotel, while
others are scattered about in boarding
houses, where they can live more
cheaply, but they all make il their
headquarters, and they add a pictur-
esque element to its atmosphere, quite
different from the elements furnished
by revolutionists from the various
Latin-AmeriSan republics.

The oldest ruin in England is Dud-
ley Castle, in Staffordshire. 1t was
built by Dudo, or Dudd, Duke of Mer-
cha, about 700 A. D.. when Athelstan
was King. The plain was known as
Dudo's lea or leigh, and hence,
through varying evolutions, we arrive
at the present name-Dudley. In
England it is sometimes spelled Dud-
leigh. Ancient forms are Duddeleigh.
Duddeley and de Duddleye.
Another account of the derivation of
the name is that the castle stood in a
locality which was covered with plants
called dodd-that is, it was a dodd-
laa.
Among pilgrim fathers, or early an
cestors in this country, were Francis
Dudley, who came over about 1887,
settling in Concord, Mass, and VIII
liam Dudley who arrived about the
same time. He settled in Connecticut.
The principal founder and pillar of the

Colony of Massachusetts was Thomas
Dudley, who came to America ten
years after the arrival of the May
flower.
Born in England in 1876, he had been
brought up in the family of the Earl
of Northampton. While still young
man, he formed a military company,
and receiving a commission from Queen
Elizabeth, led soldiers to France in
support of the Protestant faith against
Philip II.
He was In the service of his adopted
country, America, for twenty-three
years continuously. He was the second
Governor of Massachusetts,. and the
founder of Cambridge. 1t was to do
honor to his memory that the Governor.
Thomas Dudley Family Association was
formed, holding it's first meeting in
Boston in 1893.

In the early struggles with the

member of the family. the Countess
of Lincoln, also had eighteen children.
For the guidance of other mothers
she published a book, THE Countess

A daughter of the Countess, the
Lady Arbella, came to America with
other pilgrims in one of the early ships
the Arbella-named for her lady
ship. Gov. Thomas Dudley came
over in the same ship, and wicker
cradle, which was brought at the time,
and was used generation after genera
ton, is still in excellent condition.
There are many other relics, some of
which are preserved by the New Eng
land Historic Genealogical Society.
Many distinguished men of letters
have belonged to the Dudley family.
There was that gallant sportsman,
who wrote "Arcana del Mare" and of
whom it is recorded that he was the
first who taught "a dog to sit in order
to catch partrdges." Oliver Wendell

Lions, either vert or azure, appear

four quarterings-the lion vert in one
and two lions azure in another.

LITERARY NOTES.

The girls of Japan have a hard row
to hoe, as the saying is. In a little
book called THE Japanese Bride"
written by a japanese man, Naomi
Tamura, and published by the Har-
pers, there are revelations which would
make an American girl consider her
self fortunate. A Japanese woman
must be subservient to men all her
life in youth to her father. in mar
riage to her husband, in old age to
her eldest son. She almost never mar
ries for love. The wedding is ar
ranged, and in many cases she sees
her future husband only once before
marriage. The association of young
men and women in society is unknown
in Japan. even during cOurtship, and
ladies and gentlemen there never dance
together.
