IN MEMORIAM.

In loving remembrance of our dear mother. MA
RIA BAsLER who departed this life one year ago
April p, 1906
You will never be forgotten. dear mother,
Never shall your memory fade;
Sweetest thoughts shall ever linger,
Around the grave where you are laid.
Time may pass and years may fly.
And every hope decay and die,
And every peaceful dream may set.
But our dear mother we will never forget.
Why should our tears in sorrow dow,
When God recalls his own,
And bids her leave world OF woe,
For an immortal home?
Her tolls are past, her work is done,
And she is fully blest;
She has fought the fight, the vlctory won,
And entered into rest.

Breakdown Of The Rhode Island
Machine.

After eighty.one fruitless ballots, the
Rhode Island Legislature has adjourned with
out electing successor to George L. Wet
MORE of Newport, whose term as United
States Senator has expired. This outcome is
a shattering blow to machine rule in what has
been regarded as its frmest stronghold in the
country. The present deadlock is unprece-
dented in the history of the State. 1t is neces
sary to go as far back as 1875 to find anything
like struggle over the Senatorial election,
and in that case Gen. Ambrose K. Burnside
was elected on the twenty eighth ballot. AS
a rule, the Legislature has been the docile
servant of the party organization, rendering
prompt obedience to its orders. AS matters
are at present, there is vacancy in the States
representation in the United States Senate,
and but for the fact that Senator Aldrich' $
term extends to 1911 his own seat would be
involved in the contest now transferred to the
polls.
The defeat of the organization of which
Aldrich is the Senatorial representative is
emphasized by the failure of its last effort to
control the situation. General Brayton, the
Republican boss who has for many years die
tated Legislative policy, tried to break the
deadlock by dropping Wetmore and concen
trating upon Col. Samuel Pomeroy Colt, in
the hope of thus defeating Col. r. II. l. Goddard,
the Democlatic anu lHueI'euuehI lSePupIicah, I,
nominee; but only one vote was transferred
from Wetmore to Colt, and the Goddard
| column was not affected. The only result of the
movement was to show how completely the
| power of the machine is broken.
The issue will now have to be fought out at
the polls, and already claims are made that
the people viii give the Democrats majority
in both houses of the next Legislature. There
IS ground for such expectation if the battle is
fought on its present lines with Goddard, who
is an independent Republican, as the Demo
cratic Senatorial candidate. But under press
ure of circumstances it is possible that the
| regular Republican organization may unload
Boss Brayton, make promises of reform, and
thus placate elements now hostile to it. But
whatever may be the outcome, new era has
opened in Rhode Island politics. The State
can no longer be ranked as close borough IN
machine ownership.

Emperor Williams Visiting Cards.
From Tit-Bits

The German emperor believes in being
sufficiently represented. even on a visiting
card No ordinary-sized piece of pastb-
board will suffice him. for Williams cards
measure no less than six inches in length
and four in width. On the upper line is
the single word Wilhelm" and below are
the words 'Deutscher Kaiser" and ''Konig
Won Preussen." The words are printed in
large, fat, German script letters OF
course. the emperor does not carry these
imposing sheets of pasteboard himself;
they are confided to his chasseur or
body servant, who follows him.
The other sovereigns of Europe are con-
tent with more modest visiting cards,
with the words upon them in Latin script
Among the simplest in size and appear
ance are those of the Emperor of Austria
and the Prince Of Wales. The prince
has two sets of cards, one for use abroad
and the other for England The English
one bears the words, '"The Prince of
Wales" the other the French equivalent.

International Money.
From the New York Tribune.

1t Is safe to prophesy, however, that in
ternational money will not be coined until
the International Postal Union has accom-
plished three thingsenamely, proved the
usefulness of response coupons, reduced
the cost Aof the International clearing
house to a Jninimum after some expert
ence, and finally issued higher denomina-
lions of response coupons at the lowest
possible figure. Should it prove practical
bic to issue even 81 International postage
stamps at a price approximating the quo
tat,ons Of foreign exchange, such stamps
would virtually be world money. When
We consider the effect which a successful
trial Of such stamps would have upon the
fortunes of the money changers, there
is small risk in predicting that the postal
union will not be allowed to make the ex-
pertinent without great opposition.
