TodaY's Happy Event.

4 White House wedding is always an
event of national, even international. i'm
pOrtauce Nine times before today have
loving hearts been united in matrimony
within the walls of the official residence of
the American President A cousin OF Mrs,
Madison. n daughter of President Monroe,
a son of President Adams, a daughter Of
old friend of President Jackson. a niece of
President Jackson. daughter of President
Tyler n daughter of President Grant, a
niece of Mrs. Hayes, and finally President
Cleveland himself have been the White
House participants in these ceremonies at
the executive mansion.
Today the eldest daughter Of President
Roosevelt Is the center of the attention of
all Americans and many citizens of foreign
countries. No previous White House mar
rlage has equaied this of today in the
extent of popular interest. The wedding of
1874, when Gen. Grants daughter Nellie
married Mr.. Sartoris. an E.ngllshman. was
perhaps the most noted of these everts in
The past. Il was the only one before today

only very few guests being present
In comparison with these past ceremonies
that of today is the most truly national in
character. President RoOsevelts personal
popularity is accountable. of course, for the
major part Of the interest manifested and
for the extraordinary inflow of gifts from
all sections Of the country and all classes of
citizens. The offering of gifts from foreign
governments Is unique feature OF the
event.

creased and intensified. The joy bells rung

good wishes and congratulations of the resi-

The Kaiser and Caricature.

The kaiser, we are told, is growing less
sensitive on the subject of caricature Per-
mission has been granted for the circuIa-
ton in Germany of a book of pictures, with
the kaiser as the principal figure, gathered
from the press of several countries The
authorities had forbidden the book, but at
a hint from the palace released it, and now
the people of the empire may enjoy seeing
their ruler postured after many quaint and
comical suggestions.
This seems to be small matter. but II
may have widely beneficial effe t. For
one thing 1t may lessen the Importance that
German officials generally, and particularly
military men. have assumed at home The
offensive and overpowering strut that has
marked brass buttons in Germany has been
an underling copy of the kaiser's assump-
ton of sacredness of person. Every fell
low, high or low. with sword at his side,
has demanded the right of way and COM
piete immunity from criticism. Now that
the kaiser shows a willingness to stand a
little fun at his own expense. maybe the

Speaker Cannon is quoted as of opinion
that Congress will be ready to put up the
shutters by May 10. That is an early day
as adjournments go, but maybe the breth-
rem can arrange it. Mr.. Cannon himself
has done a good deal to make that day
probable. His management of things in the
House has upon the whole been excellent
With not too much haste, but with bust
ness grip upon the situation. he has kept
matters moving, and IN much shorter order
than many people thought possible has sent
the big bills in dispute over to the Senate An
early adjournment means early start in

A Tribute.

l love jest, a merry quip
Doth fill my soul with glee.
1t bids the pulses lightly trip,
While fancy wonders free.
But best of all the gifts which fate
Has kindly let me know,
1 love, simple truth to state,
The joke of long ago.
1t comes with Congress every year.
Tis told upon the stage.
1t frisks about with sprightly cheer
Despite Its reverent age.
Sometimes in prose and then in rhyme,
1t calls a smile to glow
In summer or in winter time,
That joke of long ago.
1t is to our new tangled wit,
Superior by half,
You need not hesitate bit;
You know just when to laugh.
Though temples totter insecure,
Though nations are laid low
By time, thank heaven. this stands secure
The joke of long ago!

some propaganda could well be imagined.
Its consequences are far-reaching. NO man
can tell today what viii spring from this
Grove verdict. Already conservative citi-
zens of Omaha are predicting reign OF
crime as result of the declaration by
court jury that a well-known malefactor
can with impunity steal the children of the
very rich for the sake of heavy ransom
The danger of the verdict is clearly Illus
trated by a statement given out after Its
return by Grove himself, as follows:
Il don't know what the jury thought,
but I am satisfied of one thing-there are
a good many people in the world who ike
to eat meat once or twice day and they
don't like to be robbed every time they put
a piece In their mouths.
"Cudahy is on trial right now in Chicago,
and Ii is because people don't like the way
he got his money any better than the way
he lost II. Say. 1t strikes me as rather run
ny that Cudahy is raising the very point
in Chicago that he gave out conf
Dental information to the Attorney General
and does not think 1t right to be used
against him. That was the very point tnat
were coutending for at my trial, but
Cudahy did not seem to think very muoh OIL
the idea before he got over to Chicago.
Faith in the jury system Is shaken BY
such demonstrations of Incompetence by
the men chosen by the court to determine
minority of the jury holding out for ac-
quittal because of prejudice against trust
magnate. would have been deplorable, but
not extraordinary. But here were twelve
men actuated undoubtedly by the same
motive whether expressed not in the
jury room That is what makes the Grove
verdict an alarming symptom of public
sentiment.
The truth is. we have gone too far IN
this country in reckless condemnation OF
the individuals who comprise the great cor
porations. This tendency to rate the busi-
ness magnates as criminals has aroused
resentments which will find expression
from time to time in criminal acts such
as that of Grove, just pronounced by
q jury to be improved or undeserving or
punishment. Those who are engaged In the
crusade of denunciation and the advocacy
of reprisals against the rich should reflect
that they are contributing to a crime move
ment which menaces every grade of society,
including their own.

BY far the most interesting, and In sense
the most important. of the ceremonies that
marked the Lincoln birthday anniversary
this year were those held at Frankfort, the
capital of Mr.. Lincolns native state of Ken

with Lieut. Gov Thornc presiding, and lis
tened to several addresses pitched in the
key of very high appreciation of Mr.. Lin
coins character and genius. 1t was the
first time that the day had thus been
marked in the state.
one of the speakers was Chief Justice
1Iobson of the court of appeals a native of
Mr.. Lincoln's native county of Hardin. who
declared very frankly that few years ago
he could not have brought himself to eulo-
gize the man in whose memory they were
then assembled The change in him, how
ever, is no greater than in that of many
others in Kentucky, who regard Mr.. Lin
coin now as truly great man, who loved
the country, and saved it for the people of
both sections.

year of 1860. One of them-this man-had
sprung from the lowliest division of her
people. His father was poor that he left
the state in discouragement in an effort TO
better his condition. The son-then but a
lad-was ignorant and awkward. and seemed
destined to the life of a yokel and drudge.
A voice from heaven would scarcely have
been credited if 1t had promised the second
inaugural and the Gettysburg Grafton from
such source.

of those curious twists in our definitions,
this patrciau of patricians, standing for
government based upon human slavery, was
called democrat, and was now leading
one wing of the democratic party.
The country decided for the plebeian
against the patrician. The man who had
sprung from the bottom, and stood for lift

the man who had sprung from the top. and
