Saxony's former crown princess,
Louise. who was divorced from her
husband shortly before he assembled
the throne has been almost continu-
ouslv in the public eye for many
months past
W hen she eloped with the French
tutor of her children, she created
sensation which ranged large N in
the scandal-honeycombe courts of
Europe. Banishe1 from $780, no
has repined loudly at her fate, and
recently caused another stir by
frantic attempt to force her way to
her children. She succeeded in reach
ing the imperial palace in Dresden,
and was there arrested.
Despite her Scandalous conduct,
the people of Saxony still love the
woman who would today he their
queen but for her indiscretion, and
a perpetual agitation is kept up,
looking toward reconciliation and re-
marriage between Louise and King
Frederick Augustus. A series of Illus
trated postal cards, in which this
has had a wide sale during the past
few months Now the dethroned
queen is helping the plot along by
blossoming out as poetess-as the
author of sentimental verse in which
her undying affection for the husband
she deserted is set forth, along with
plaintive bewailing of her present
unhappy state. The following are
three of nine poems by the former
crown princess, which have just been
published in Saxony. The TRANSACTIONS
are by the American poet, Edmund
Vance Cooke:

Thou see'st it not, but seek'st it far

Forever happiness is in thy clasp.

Wanted-A House LeaderI

Since Japheth went in search of his
father there has been no such explora-
ton by land or sea as Mr. Speaker
Cannon, according to the newspapers,
is now making in search of a new floor
leader in the house of representatives.
First and last, the catalogue of those
mentioned by the space writer's in
cludes almost every Republican repre-
sentative OF any standing whatsoever.
So far as Is known Mr., Speaker Can
non has given no hint that be is dis
satisfied with Hon. Serene e. Payne
of New York. who, since the death of
Governor Dingley, has been chairman
of the great committee on ways and
means and ex officio house floor leader
It is represented, enormously, it seems
to me, that Brother Payne is not a
sound stand patter. 1t is also said that
he lacks tact in the management OF
men. How they make that out does
not appear He is most amiable
man, of capacity and wide experience
much superior in most respects to sew
eral who have been mentioned 1t is
not reasonable that the speaker will
desire to displace him, as they have al.
ways appeared to work il harmony
Then there is the great New York
delegation to be considered. If Mr..
Payne is reduced in rank and the
leadership is bestowed upon another
New Yorker, as it is asserted in GER
tain quarters will be done. there will
be fend started among New York
Republicans which may give the party
as much trouble as did the stalwart
featherhead feud of q score OF years

federal constitution as q fetch to be
worshiped or sort OF ark of the COW
enant which we must not touch lest
we die. The largest opposition. how
ever, comes from wire pullers who
have some hope of going to the senate
by manipulating state legislatures, but
would have no hope were senators
elected by popular votes. 1t is safe
to say that not one third Of the present
senators would be now enjoying the
emoluments and honors of that exalt-
ed station could the people have done
the electing; hence these tears. OF
course until the constitution Is amend
ed United States senators cannot be
elected directly by the people, but
statesafter state is doing the next best
thing nominating senators at the pri-
mary elections the result of the
primaries being taken as instructions
by the legislatures Such is now the
modus operandi in Arkansas, Louisi-
ana, Mississippi, South Carolina, I'LL
nois, Virginia and perhaps in other
states. Reforms move forward, not
backward, and with that group of
states as a starter others will go and
do likewise until the reform ends in an
amendment to the constitution. Wire
pullers might as well stand from under.

Boston Wants Free Lumber.

The Boston Herald sends up a wall
for free lumber. So did /, and quite
recently in these letters. based my
plea on two grounds the desire for
cheap building material and the wish
to preserve our own forests and
through their preservation maintain
oQr rainfall and consequently our ag-
riculture. sssass.y3 -
But why does the Boston Herald
want free lumber? For broad rea-
son--for the greatest good to the great
est number? Not on your life! When
did Boston ever want anything for
such reason2 Listen. Here is the
argument of the Herald:
The Herald says the north and south
roads in the Mississippi valley are
hauling grain and other products from
the north to the gulf ports, and one
reason they can haul this stuff cheaply
is because the cars get a return cargo
Of southern pine and cypress. If they
didn't get this return cargo, the roads
would not be able to make lower rates
than the roads to Boston; hence the
Herald figures out that this return
cargo should be stopped by taking the
tariff off lumber, thus letting in Ca
madam lumber to take the place of the
southern lumber in northern markets.
Who but a Boston man would figure
out and seriously attempt to work
scheme for such purely selfish ends? It
is characteristic of New Englands
attitude toward the rest of the coun-
try. She wants raw materials on the
free list for the benefit of her fac
tories, but the finished product of those
factories must have a high tariff to
protect it. She wants to buy the
western farmers wool and hides on
free trade basis and sell him blan-
keis, clothes and shoes on the high
tariff basis. They insist that what is
sauce for the New England goose
should not be sauce for the western
gander. There is the greatest evil in
all this high tariff system of robbery.
It is Senator Vests COW over again
she stands with her head in. the Mis-
sissippi valley, eating of the fat of the
land, while she is MIXED in New Eng
land
This plaintive cry of the Boston Her
aid gives the only reason in the world
why we should not have free lumber
it might injure the north and south
traffic in the Mississippi valley Yet
the south would gain from it in cheaper
homes and in keeping her forests. No
one doubts that cutting off the timber
entails future disaster to agriculture.

ago, feud which wrecked the party
Ia the Empire State, drove Roscoe Con
king out Of public life, made Grover
Cleveland president twice, made David
Bennett Hill governor thrice and Unit
ed States senator once and played
ducks and brakes with human ambi
ton generally in that neck of the
woods. If Uncle Joe confers the titular
leadership, together with the chairman
ship of the appropriations committee
on another New Yorker and leaves Mr..
Payne chairman of the committee on
ways and means. aspiring statesmen
outside of New York are quite likely to
set up howl to the effect that New
York is getting an undue proportion Of
the choice Ioaves and fish s. Again, II
he undertakes to make door leader of
the chairman of appropriations the en-
tire ways and means committee at
least the Republican portion of it's
liable to kick vigorously, for the rule is
and has ever been that the chairman OF
ways and means is ex of1lcio majority
leader, next after the speaker, of
course, and every blessed member Of
that committee is looking anxiously
and eagerly forward to the day when
he will be chairman. So, on the whole,
the speaker bids fair to have a first
class row on hand if he tries TO switch
the leadership from Brother Payne.
The chances are ten to one that rather
than provoke conflict among his own
followers he will let Mr.. Payne retain
his leadership even if he really prefers
some one else. The chances are fur
thermore that he does not prefer some
one else, as he and Mr. Chairman
Payne have grown gray together in the
house and probably understand each
other thoroughly. If asked about the
rumors of change the speaker would
most likely say that the boys had to
have something to write about"

aCoeA of the Bio Stick y

Those credulous persons who have
been deceived by the dulcet story that
the Philippines do not cost US anything
and never will ought to read an edi-
torial in the Washington Post on the
subject of Japan's probable future ac-
tons 1t lays down the rule that if we
retain those islands and at the same
time desire to preserve our safety we
must build two battieships every time
Japan builds one, because Japan is
our near neighbor in the orient. How
much does battleship, armored,
armed and furnished, cost? About
S., 000,00o, to say nothing OF expense
OF maintenance which year in and
year out is enormous. Suppose that
the Japs should take it into their nod
dies to build five battleships per an
mum. Then. according to the dictum
of the Washington Post, we must, in
order to be safe, build ten, which
would cost SS0,0O0,O00. That's a pretty
how-de-do certainly And yet If we
are idiots enough to hang on to the
Philippines, that in all human prob
ability is what we are coming to, and
nobody can gainsay the wisdom of the
Posts suggestion. How the Spaniards
must laugh in their sleeves when they
read such editorials in the American
papers and reflect upon what a simple
but effective method of revenge upon
us they devised in unloading the Philip
pines upon us. OF course, though we
spend hundreds of millions for battle
ships because of our retention of those
islands. every jingo will swear that
they do not cost US one cent, because
in the budgets the ships are not
charged to the Philippines.
