ENORMOUS SUMS PAID.

Probably the two most liberal of all European
rulers IN their dealings with the press are the
Prince of Monaco and King Leopold. The sums
paid by the former to the newspapers TO refrain
from attacking the gambling establishment at
Monte Carlo and from exposing its connection
with the ruler of the principality are something
enormous, German and French papers figuring
numerousIy on the list of those whose silence
has thus been purchased, while King Leopold.
in spite of his alleged indifference to popular
sentiment and press criticism, has spent inn
mense amounts in endeaVorinE to secure friend
ly treatment for his financial schemes, espe-
Cially those in connection with the Congo Free
State. In spite OF his undenable Cleverness in
other respects, he has been the only European
sovereign to attempt to influence the American
press by means of money; and he estab-

Emperor William makes no secret Of the fact
that this inquiry of his has convinced him of

press, at any rate in the discussion of foreign
affairs He realizes that mistakes often occur,
arising from misconception and lack of in

PRESTIGE IN OLD WORLD.

King Edward, too, has on more than one oc-
casioa availed himself of the columns of Amer
lean newspapers TO send messages TO the Amer
lean people, one Of these messages. published
in THE New York World" at the time of the
Venezuela imbrogl!o proving eftcacous in al
laying popular excitement that had brought
this country to the brink of war with Great
Britain; while both the late Pope and the
present Pontiff have also chosen newspapers
conveying to the people OF the United States
words Of goodwill and Of blessing. From this
it viii be seen that the American press on
joys al altogether exceptional prestige and re-
spect in the eyes Of the rulers of the Old
World
Abroad the press is less favored in this re-
garG-that is to say. on the Continent OF Eu
rope. or course, there are many newspapers
that quite patriotic, quite as independent
and quite incorruptible their contem-
poraries on this side of the Atlantic Ocean.
But there are others of which this cannot be
said, which have laid themselves open TO some
thing more than the mere suspicion Of having
placed their columns at the disposal of foreign
eratlOns. That is to say, the European Con-
tinental press a whole is less patrioticaly
honest and less inCorruptible than that of the
United States. That is apparent not only by
the superior consideration shown abroad to
the American newspapers, but likewise TO the
fact that funds are publicly maintained by Old
World governments for the corruption of for
eign newspapers in Europe and for the pur
chase of their columns. The late Prince Bis
marck throughout his long tenure OF office,
employed for this object the income of the vast
fortune of the last King of Hanover, which
was impounded by Prussia at the time of the
of 1866. and only restored TO the old mon

Rulers abroad.

No foreign monarch or European government
has ever been reported to be financially inter
ested in any American newspaper. In spite of
the widespread belief abroad that everything
here, even to the very atmosphere, IS tainted
with cOTruption--a belief for which the literary
nuck-ralKers Of this country are wholly 10 blame
no rumor has ever been heard either in the
Old World or this side of the Atlantic, af-
fecting the fair name Of any organ Of the press
OF the United States in this respect.
This does not mean that no attempts have
been made by friendly powers and by their rep
resentatIyes in the New World 20 influence the
newspapers Of this country for political pur-
poses. On the contrary temptations of a pecu-
MARY nature have been in a number of instances
placed IN the way Of proprietors and responsible
editors OF important journals Of daily weekly
end even monthly character and of the man
ayers OF press associations. But none of those
thus approached directly or indirectly have
ever exposed themselves TO the imputation of
having succumbed to alien wiles at the cost Of
their independence and patriotism.
Not that the rulers of the Old World are in
different TO the power of the American press
Prince Henry Of Prussia, when he visited this
rountry. made no secret Of the fact that his
brother. the Kaiser, had instructed him to de-
vote particular attention and study to American
newspaper men, who in the opinion of his Teu-
tonic majesty, were quite important in their
way as great generals, since they were the chief
factors in moulding that popular sentiment and
public opinion which control the direction Of the
policy Of the United States. Emperor william
indeed, is credited with having caused, in 1898
1893 and 1900 a most searching investigation TO
be made into the ownership and editorship of
all the leading newspapers in this country He

ORIGIN OF COURT CIRCULAR. .

That the origin OF tho "Court Circular"
which Queen Victoria herself was wont to edit
daily throughout her reign. and which she fire.
quently used for the purpose OF conveying mes
sages 10 her subjects. Sometimes these messages
took the form OF expression OF regret for
the loss Of a distinguished servant of the state
sometimes Of sorrow over some disaster while
two three occasions she went far a. TO
furnish through the Court Circular to the
newspapers. and through the latter to the people,
explanations of her conduct
Thus, learning that there had been some
complaint toward the close OF her reign aris-
ing from the rarity OF her appearances In pub
lie. she pointed out in communication of this
kind that in order to husband her failing
strength for the administration work entailed
by the rulership OF her vast empire 1t was
necessary that she should relieve herself so
far possible from the more purely ornamental
functions of the monarchy, which she could
delegate to her children, whereas she could not
conhde to any one else her administrative
duties. There something rather pathetic
in tho old Queen thus taking the people into
her confidence through the press, in a royal
and yet thoroughly familiar explanation, such
mother might give to her grown UP chill
dren. And It certainly served to bring the
throne and the people more closely In touch
with one another.

THE DEAD COMMISSION BILL.

According to the Cheyenne Leaders
unique and somewhat illogical method
of reaching legislative conclusions, the
democrats in the house killed the Sage
primary election bill. They were not
there to vote and the bill failed and
should be held up to the contumely,
ridicule and scorn of the people of
Fremont county for all time to come.
This is the charge made by the Lead
er against the Albany county senatori-
al delegation, in the matter of the Win.
kelman railway commission bill. They
were absent, 1t alleges, and thus de-
feated the bill by their act of omis-
sion. But the Leader is SO wild In its
allegations that 1t is well to get the
truth before setting anything it says
down for true. The bill was killed in
committee of the whole, hence the
ayes and noes were not recorded. The
Republican, however, is informed that
all three of the senators from AL

er is also in error when it says that
Mr.. Cook of Laramie county voted
against the measure. Later We may

torting the truth in the remainder OF
It's statement. If It will prevaricate as
to the votes of two senators. it will
not hesitate to do so as to others,
hence it cannot be believed in any
thing.

reached the scene before the brute had
accomplished his purpose, and knock
ed him senseless. Taking the little
one in his arms he began searching
for a gun with which to kill the ravish-
err, but was prevented from carrying
out his ~praiseworthy design.
