CASTOR Mirahore his wife and his children with
the utmost kindness and consideration: not as
royal personagss Of course. but nevertheless. as
relatives.
Another morganatic marriage Of somewhat
the same kind. and a love match in the bargain
was that contracted by the present Duchess
Dowager Of Genoa. sister Of the two late kings
of Saxony. mother Of Queen Margaret and
grandmother. therefore. Of the present ruler OF
Italy. After losing her first husband. the Royal
Duke of Genoa, who was a younger brother of
the Re Gallant 'Uomo, she was married to her
chamberlain. the Marchese Rappolo incurring
thereby the wrath of her brother in law, King
Victor Emmanuel. She lived very happily how
ever. with the marquis at Stresa where she has
a beautiful villa on the shores of Lake Como
and where he died twenty years ago from
injuries sustained through an accidental dis
charge Of his gun. In spite of her advanced
years she is still hale and hearty and makes a
point Of spending several weeks each year al
Rome, her visits being regarded with fear and
trembling at the Court Of the Quirinal owing TO
her terrible and essentially Teutonic strictness
the Of etiquette.
Finally. there is the marriage of the late Duke
Of Aosta, younger brother OF King Humbert
and Princess Maria dal Pozzo della Cisterna
who received the title of royal highness" by
decree from her father-in- law. King Victor En-
manuel, on the occasion OF her wedding and
who was a woman Of the most rare beauty
charm and cleverness On the election of her
husband TO the throne of Spain, in 1870. she
became ipso facto Queen OF Spain, title which
she retained until the abdication of her husband
a few days only after she had given birth at
Madrid to Prince Louis. now Duke of the Abruzzi
who was born, therefore. an Infant of Spain
Her husband and herself resumed after his alb
dication their rank and dignity royal prince
and princess of Italy. and she died a few months

THE ONLY AMERICAN CoNs0RT.

While her father Prince Charles Emmanuel
dal Pozzo della Cisterna, was one of the great
mobiles of Northern Italy, her mother. Countess
Louise Caroline de Merode belonged to the
great Flemish house of that name the chief of
which bears the title of Prince of Grfmberghe
and of Rubempre and of Marquis of Westerloo
family allied by marriage TO most of the great
houses of nobility of Continental Europe Ac-
! cordng to the terms of the Italian law and of
the Family Statutes of the House of Savoy
only the children OF the King of Italy and of
the crown prince are entitled to the status and
predicate of royal highness, the nephews of
the King having to remain content with the
prefix of serene highness.' along with the
title of Princes of Savoy. King Humbert how
ever. granted by special decree the status of
royal hishness TO all the of his brother
the late Duke of Aosta. which is however,
purely personal and will not be shared by their
wives or inherited by their children, unless
by virtue OF further DEGREES of the same char
acter.
From the above it will be seen that while the
members Of the reisning house of Italy he
repeatedly contracted marriages outside lie
royal caste these matrimonial alliances have
nearly always been with the greatest and most
illustrious houses of the old Italian aristocracy,
and that when their wives have been taken
from the bourgeoisie the union has been ac-
cepted merely of a morganatic character.
And while American girl Elise Hensler, of
Boston, now Countess Eda, has become the
morganatic wife of a King-namey. of the late
Dom Ferdinand of Portugal and another. Miss
Esther Lee, of New York now Countess Walder-
see became the wife of the Kaiserins uncle, the
late Prince Frederick of Schleswig- Holstein
after he had abandoned his royal rank and
status and become Austrian noble
Prince Noer. in order to be able to wed her on
a footing of equality, there is only one-namey,
Miss Alice Heine. of New Orleans who can
boast of having become the full fledged con-
sort of not merely prince of the blood but a
reignng sovereign-namely, the present ruler of
Monaco. EX-ATTACHE.

We was brought to full realizashion
that town meetin is approachin when
on Wednesday OF last week 4 commit
tee OF three representative citizens of
Bingville waited on US (they waited
about four hours on Us being as we
was out trying to collect some back
subscriptshions at the time but failed)
and wanted US to run for Mayor of
Bingville on the independent ticket.
The chairman of the committee was
Deacon Butterworth our we'll known
townsman and one Of the stanch pliers
of the Bingville church. The Deacon
stated that he desired US to consider
this honor wich the citizens of Bing-
vile had so Unexpectedly thrust upon
Us prayerfully and carefully before Civ
IN our answer. He further stated that
the administration Of Cy Hoskins who
IS the present Mayor of Bingville is
not satisfactory being as Cy has been
running things with a high hand by
havin all the holes in the road adioinjn
his property filed up with stone and
gravel and lettin the rest OF the roads
go be hanged for all he cared. The
committee stated that it was erbout
time some ackshion was took and thew
considered US the right man for the
oHise and calkilated if sufficient charges
was brought against Cy and that if
we run for Mayor and everybuddv in
Bingville voted for US Cy would be de-
feeted and we could take his place in
the Mayors chair.
We would be all the things we have
called the editor of the Hardscrabble
Banner if we didn't appreciate this
CRATE political honor witch the citizens
of Bingville has saw fit to thrust upon
US 1t makes US feel chicken brested
with vanity and pride to know that the
voters Of this thriving community with
Cut regard to party. religion. sex or
good breedin, have esteemed US eligible
to discharge the duties incident to the
offise wich is the highest in the gift of
the citizens of Pingville.
We thank yo1, our feller citizens for
the honor wich the tender of this CRATE
offise implies.
After several deliberashions and con-
sultashions with our wife we feel that
we must decline to run for Mayor. We
have never hankered 10 be Mayor. No.

NOT AN HONEST THING.

Judge GrosScup, of the federal court
in speaking at Grand Rapids recently,
took occasion to condemn the anti-in-
junction plank of the republican plat
form. He said:
when l find lodged there (the plat
form) a declaration put in only to
catch the votes, l am afraid people
will doubt the sincerity of the whole
platform. This declaration won't catch
any labor votes. It is not an honest
thing to do 1 know the labOring men.
know the general honesty of their pur
pose, and know that they are not to
be caught with chaff. And this (the
anti-injunction plank is chaff."
Continuing. he said that if 1.-The anti
injunction plank, so-called, OF the re-
publican platform were written into
law, it would give nothing more than
has always been the custom Of the
courts"
Judge Grosscup is right The plank
pretends to hold out a promise to the
laborlnS man, but it is, after all. no
promise at all.

weaker claim to his country's highest
Office. declared that to guarantee bank
deposits would ruin every honest
banker: last week he wrote to the re-
publican candidate for governor OF
Kansas, who is running on "a bank
guarantee platform, to the effect that
the voluntary insurance of bank de-
posits by the bankers themselves,
would be all right.
To the average voter it would look
as if Mr. Taft is beginning to trim his
sails to a better alignment with pub
lie opinion. For if it would be safe and
sane for bankers to voluntarily insure
thu deposits of all banks in a given dis
trict why would it not be just as safe
and sane for the government to compel
these same bankers to submit to COM
pulsory insurance of the deposits of all
banks? In other words, Mr.. Taft would
have the country think that while
compulsory insurance would ruin the
bankers, doing precisely the same thing
with no law requiring them to do so
would not hurt a little bit.
Does anyone believe that he is sin
cere in such a statement?
