Her Kingdom.

That must have been very
pretty and romantic spectacle at
Irun, in the fresh beauty of the
early Friday morning, when the
youthful King of Spain received TO
the soil Of his domain the Princess
Ena, who IS so soon to become
Queen. Though it was a function
of royal ceremony, with nothing of
glitter and trappings, bOwingS and
kneeings omitted. we like to think
that there were also tie beatings
of real human hearts under the
gorgeous exterior of the event, and
that the young woman who was
greeted with such marks of cor
diality may sooD learn 70 know that
popular greetings are not all super
fetal.
Royal marriages seldom ring true,
because the world understands how
completely are they matters of
statecraft and convenience" and
withholds its sympathy. But in this
case there is reason to suppose that
King Alfonso is genuinely attracted
toward the Princess Ena, and as he
seems to be a manly and square
young fellow he should be able to
make a conquest of the young
woman's heart. Certainly he has
shown in his public treatment of
her thus far a lover~like devotion
and chivalry that do not seem to
have been affected.
The fair princess has now come
into her kingdom, the territorial
domain over which she is to be
Queen. If she shall become a loved.
honored, and happy wife, as we all
hope, then she viii have come into
her real kingdom, indeed

Revolution?

Revolution may be impending in
Russia, but people who for many
years have been watching affairs
there and who have noted how
futile have been the efforts of the
radicals viii be slow 10 believe it.
Parallels with France and its revo-
luton are interesting, but mislead-
ing. France can never De likened
TO Russia. Temperament, training.
traditions, everything, make them
utterly dissimilar. France was cen
tered in Paris, and was snstinct with
nerves. Russia is cenrered nowhere.
and has no nerves.
\ parliament, indeed, is always
menacing 10 autocratie power. The
autocrat who calls the estates to-
gether invariably takes dangerous
chances. Nicholas has taken these
chances. Bat they are not the
chances that Louis took. There is
no coherency of public opinion in
Russia, no organization, no leader
ship. The cOuntry's very bigness is
a disadvantage. The government
alone knows what is doing in differ
ent sections. Cooperation between
insurgent movements or uprisings
in widespread sections is impossible,
as has been proved repeatedly.
The douma may develop some
leadership. But if it does, there will
be merely some new mysteries such
as have surrounded the taking off
of Gapon. The tremendous machine
of spies and police, political prisons
and Siberia, and secret executions
has not been broken down. 1t will
not be broken down while the army
remains loyal to the autocracy.
And the loyary of the army has
been a constant and inexplicable
contradiction of the worst that the
outside world bas heard about Rus
sia.
The army comes from the peo-
pie. Its capacity for loyalty is proof
of the capacity of the people for
dull, unthinking, stolid submission

THE OLD SKINFLINT.'

Several years ago. when Powell &.
PhmptOn kept drug and grocery
house on Washington street IN Ruffa-
10, a farmer from Williamsville drove
TO Buffalo to buy bill of goods for
his country store. After coming down
stairs and while waiting for HIS goods
to be packed he noticed several men
using the speaking tube. After awhile
his curiosity got the better of hfin.
and he asked the proprietor what that
thing was.
"A speaking tube said the propr. :
etor. Speak to someone upstairs and
see how II works"
What Will 1 say?" said the farmer.

proprietor.

goods Mr.. Parsons Of Williamsville or

goods are ready, but we are looking

Judge GaynOr's View.

That franchises TO public service
corporations have been and still are
granted by city governments with
careless disregard for their value,
and for altogether too long periods,
is coming to be the opinion of able
and IeveI-headed men everywhere
To believe that the people do not
always get a square deap' in the
allotment of such magnificent privi-
leges no longer stamps one as a
radical. Indeed, men of highly
trained, judicial minds are coming
quite into the van in their unfet-
tered discussion of the franchise
question.
At dinner in New York the other
evening, given by the Civic Fedora
ton to the members of the in
vestigating committee of the fed
Grafton on municipal ownership, on
the eve. of their departure for Eu-
rope, Supreme Court Justice VIII
liam J. Gaynor mace a remarkable
speech, in which he showed himself
thoroughly IN sympathy with the
modern feeling in the matter. He
said, among other things:
In this day great franchises repre-
sent nothing but a perpetual tax on
the people of the community. A fran
chise is granted for 900 years. Nine
years is more reasonable than 999 at
this time in the history OF the coun-
try. Certain rights are granted 10 great
name OF public franchises. which are
nothing more than gifts These gifts
are bonded. stocked. doubled uP. and
continued for many years. tax upon
private property. which can only be
taken possession OF Upon the aSsump-
ton that certain rights are 10 revert 10
the owners of that property. when. in
TACT. they are providing no return TO
the people.
The more the European system of
public control of great utilities is
studied, the more strongly does ii
furnish the suggestion that in
course of time and by legitimate
and cautious steps we may find it
available for regulating franchises
in this country. At any rate, we
have no right 10 condemn il simply
because wild-eyed shouting for the
immediate munIcipalization of every
thing is distasteful to people of
good sense The fair trial is vet TO
come.

reached the poor peasant. Govern
ment, in his mind, stands for the
police, the. army, the tax gatherer.
That it might stand also for peace
and plenty and happiness has not
occurred TO him.
Russia has been trying hard TO
learn to think. Doubtless ii has
made some progress. Possibly 1t
has made more progress than is
realized. But on the whole it does
not seem at all likely that the point
of revolution can have been at
