THE TROUBLES OF A QUEEN.

Doubtless there are thousands Of ro-
mantle girls who envy the pomp and
splendor accorded to the new Spanish
queens but is she really to be envied?
It is true that the attention of the world
is directed towards her just now, but
that is only one side Of the picture
At an age when American girls have
just entered upon the freedom and
power of their young womanhood, this
English girl is compelled by her po-
sftion to go to a strange country, posi-
bly, against her will, and become the
wife of a young man who may turn
out to be a good husband-or who may
not Up to the present time he has
displayed few qualities that command
the respect and admiration Of the
world, sovereign though he may be.
But the English girl has nothing to
say about whether she will marry him.
She has no freedom. Think of a free
born American girl having no power
to govern her own love affairs A
princess is to be pitied rather than
envied.
Every girl has a right to expect a
joyful wedding day. but this English
girl, Win neT royal nuSDanQy IS mace
the intended victim of an assassin's
bomb in the midst of the gayety of her
wedding procession. The only reason
for the attack. so far as she was con-
cerned, was that she was the bride of
the Spanish king.
In the future she will live in constant
dread of occurrences Of this AFFAIR. And
while accorded unstinted praise and ad-
miration by those around her, she will
be a slave to court etiquette. She will
be constantly watched and will be un-
able to go and come as she pleases,
but must be guided entirely by what
is demanded Of her as a queen.
OF course the whole world joins in
wishing long life and much happiness
to King Alfonso and his bride. Queen
Victoria. Possibly their education has
schooied them to repress their personal
desires and longings and to find a kind
of happiness in acquiescing in court
conventions. But really. isn't the lot
of an American princess. who can
choose for her husband some manly
young fellow whom she loves and ad-
mires with her whole heart, and who
will devote all his energies to making
her happy-isn't the lot OF the Ameri-
can princess much more to be de-
sired than that Of royalty that is
bound by slavish chains to customs and
preeedents?

BURTON TO co.

At this writing appearances are ex~
tremely strong that Joseph Ralph Bur-
ton Will have to resign as United States
senator from Kansas in order to escape
expulsion from what is denominated
the most august body in the world
And Senator Burton's action viii
need to be taken speedily. The resolu-
ton for his expulsion, introduced by
Senator Bailey Of Texas, is already be-
fore the senate committee that has the
case in charge, but action on It ha~
been deferred till Tuesday in order
to give the Kansas senator an oppor-
tunity to withdraw voluntarily. It is
stated that the senate committee is un~
animously IN favor of expelling Burton
without a personal hearing, simply On
the strength OF his convictions IN a
federal court. II ne does not resign.
If Governor Hook decides to fill the
vacancy, It may therefore be expected
that the coming week viii see kan
sas with a new United States senator
IN the seat which Senator Burton has
held-but not occupied-during the
last two years. It is possible that this
action Will be taken even during the
closing hours of the present week.
It is doubtful If any man ever hao
greater opportunity than J. r. Burton.
He IS brilliant speaker, and had he
been honest he might have served IN
the senate with distinction to himself
and to his state. But he could not be
honest. He was not honest when he
was in the Kansas legislature, and
when he finally succeeded in going to
the senate he simply widened the scope
Of his operations.
There mayhav been-and doubtless
are-other dishonest men in the SEN
ate, but it is difficult to see how that
Is a defense for Burton. Some people
seem to regard it so. however. They
argue that enemies are after Burton
and he is made a victim, while other
dishonest men are not exposed. But
if Burton had been honest no enemies
could have convicted him. If his down.
fall is the work of enemies It is because
of his own corrupt life,
Senator Burton has come to the end
Of his career, and today the door of u
county jail down in southeastern Mis-
souri, is yawning for him. Few peo-
pie can help a feeling Of sadness that
he should have thus wrecked what
might have been a brilliant career, but
none can truthfully say that his pun
is unjust.
