siamese King Gives Subjects Choice Be-
tween That and Prison.

Siamese King Gives Subjects Choice Be-
tween That and Prison.
Toe unique figure in all Siam is King
Chulalongkorn. He is not only an abso-
Lutte monarch, ruling his 6.320 900 bias
phemous subjects with an iron will, but
he also runs a matrimonial bureau ex-
ofiicio. II is a noble institution It has
probably done more to propagate crimi-
nality in Siam than all other agencies
combined, says the Boston Transcript.
But il serves its purpose. The women Of
Siam usually, though not always, get
married and maintain the ratio Of in
crease in opulation-something which
always delights monarchs.
This is how King Chulslongkorn sets
TO work: Matrimony is his object, and
every means that will further this noble
aim is iustihable in his eyes When the
girls Of Siam have reached the age Of -
the King says it is high time that they
get married. After that he gives them
only one year Of grace in which to pro-
cure husbands II. after that time, they
are still on the market, the King takes
hand in the affair, and himself picks
out husbands for them. The young
ladies never refuse, for husbands and royal
displeasure are things not 10 be trihed
with in the Kingdom of Chulalongkorn.
The Kings matrimonial methods are
touchingly simple First, he takes the
tender young thing under his own legal
guardianship; then he pardons some Of the
prisoners on the condition that they
marry his proteges. If the prisoners are
married before or not makes no difference
whatever; the King is not at all particular
on such points. His object, as we have
pointed out, is matrimony. But, while
the young women never refuse, it often
happens that the prisoners prefer the
prison to the chains Of HyInen. In that
casethe King stands powerless; for, be the
laws of Siam as rigid and cruel as their
tyrant maker may devise, they still merci-
fully provide that man may choose
prison instead of rhatrimony, if he please.
An5 many Of them please.

There was an exciting encounter be-
tween Senator Tillman Of South Carolina
and Senator Ponrose Of Pennsylvania.
during the executive session Of the United
States Senate on Saturday afternoon.
Senator Penrose called his South Carolina
colleague "an ass, and Senator Tillman
grew so angry that he wanted to fight

cooler members. A bitter feeling was
engendered between the two Senators.

they will yet como to fsticuHs on the

Well, let them fight; and when they

self, bring this man back to the woman
whom he truly loved and who truly loved
him. But the frntion Of their hopes
is rudely dashed away by the reappear-
ance of the false wife, who was not dead
after ALL and then is given evidence Of the
true nobility of the wronged husband
who takes her back into his home, al
though not to his heart, where she never
reigned. But of course everything ends
in the right manner, for the false wife
dies and the lovers are united.
The character work of the book is
forceful and expressive, and the SYM
pathy Of the reader goes out to the true
nobility Of the man who could marry a
woman whom he did not love, but to
whom he felt that he was bound by ties
Of honor, in sharp contrast with the deep
dishonor of the polished villain and false
friend who could consent to bring dis
grace upon his house And in the de-
lineation of the human elements that
such a story naturally involves, the
result is admirable

Their paean to the Golden Day,
Whose conquering slogan is their gay
Good morning :"

No strike OF Miners.

II is matter Of congratulation that
there is to be no general strike of the coal
miners, as seemed so certain last week
The action Of the United Mine Workers
Convention at Scranton, on Saturday
opened the way to a continuance Of work
under the agreement Of 1903.
Il is probable that President Mitchell
Of the miners organization read Alright
the temper of the people, and therefore
threw the weight Of his influence in favor
of the anti-strike determination, instead
Of urging the miners to 20 out. Public
sentiment is a powerful factor in such
matters, and without it no labor revolu-
tion can succeed. And public sentiment
was sternly against the strike which the
miners for awhile seemed determined 10
precipitate.

The amendment TO the Railroad Rates
bill upon which the Republican Senators
are said 10 have agreed reads as follows
"The venue of suits brought in any Of the
Circuit Courts Of the United States against
the Interstate Commerce Commission TO

order or requirement of the commission

against whom such order or requirement

This amendment would deprive the

the House sought to confer Il is re-
garded as a "broad review" provision,
such as President Roosevelt at first vigor-
ously resisted, and over which he fell out

an organ Of the Regular Republican fac
tion, that Senator Alice is 70 blame for
the unpleasant condition in which the
Republican party Of Delaware hDds itself
at this time.
The weight and influence Of the Roose-
welt administration, which we're so freely
turned over to the Senator, have proved,
says the Sussex Republican, "the cause
Of much surprise and disappointment on
the part Of the former friends Of the Presi-
dent in this State. They could not under
stand how the President could hitch up
with a man like Alice, even though he was
United States Senator. They gave him
credit for having too much sense to be
fooled by a counterfeit like Alice They
have failed TO understand the President 3
action in conceding everything to Alice
and appointing his recommendations
without inquiring into their fitness OF
character. As a result Alice has placed in
Office a bunch that is a reflection on every
decent citizen Of this State"
And in this disgrace President Roose-
welt must accept his share as he is respon-
sible. II may be true that he was dc
ceived by Alice, but he should not have
permitted himself to be. He would have
nothing to do with Addicls, and this aver.
sion should have extended TO Alice, who
was the creature of Addicks and is playing
