i'm the Fourth district with great in
terest. This district always had n
large patronage OF the state JOBS and
through the persons on the payroll OF
the state from that section the Kelley
followers thought they had a strong
hold on the Fourth. The great recep-
ton given the 500 candidate in Ale
gan. Kalamazoo. Chas. Van Buren, and
St Joseph counties opened the eyes Of
the Kelley managers and rudely awak-
ened the appointees from that section
to the fact that they were out Of touch
with public sentiment in their locality.

Commenting on Amos Musselman's
recent visit to the upper peninsula the
Mining Journal of Marquette says:
The political significance of Mr..
Musselman's visit is thing that
must be judged apart from the per-
sonal aspects of his reception. We have
no doubt the two things will be badly
confused by his enthusiastic support
ers. and result i'm much too optimistic
comment on the progress he has made
politically in this region. If the upper
peninsula's own candidate were man
of less strength of character, force and
ability and were less admirably equip
ped for the office he seeks. the invad-
ing candidates would be visiting
more promising territory for vote
gathering. But as things stands we
can freely grant their manifold ex-
cellence and still turn to Chase s.
Osborn in confidence that nothing
laudatory that can be said in their be-
half can for a moment weaken his
claims To recognition and his peculiar
title to loyal support in this part of
the state.

lady-beautiful, doubtless but quite be-

cepted everywhere as royal. Her name
was bestowed upon the Queen of Spain,
and her son, had he lived. would have
always been the Prince Imperial and
eligible for any bride.
If Napolieons countess was accepted,
why decline to accept ladies of far more
ancient British nobility?
The problem Is growing the more seri-
Gus because the children of King George
include no fewer than five princes. In
habit and thought the royal house be-
comes more English and less German with
every generation. Are these five princes
to be compelled, when the time comes,
to look abroad for wives whom they will
have scarcely seen, and who will come
to this country as complete strangers?
1t is not improbable that it will not be
long before this absurd custom will join
others which have gone to oblivion.

ocean, miles and miles away from the
beaten track of passenger steamers. No
other craft of any kind was at the time
in sight, and how the toy reached those
ATTITUDES is a msytery of the ocean.
After his return home Lord Brassey,
who was sure the tiny ship has been
made by some English toy merchant,
took the trouble to advertise in newspa-
pers in various parts of the world, hop
ing to discover the owner, and SO solve
the mystery; but all in vain-so far, no
clue as to where it came from has ever
been obtained.

The question of the trouble is an in

summarized as follows: The board of
trade three months ago fixed minimum
wage of cents an hour. the probationary
period allowed for objections has now ex-
pired, but any employer who can show
an agreement in writing by his workers
to continue at the old wage Is not obliged
to pay the official minimum wage for
another six months
The majority of the employers profess
themselves ready to abide by the new
rate IL the smaller employers will do so,
but the latter In most cases refuse, and
have been pressing the workers for signed
agreements. 1t is because of their re-
fusal to sign these agreements that the

London. September 24.-(Special.)-Th
recent tempest in a teapot over the love
affairs of the Duke of the Abruzzi and
Miss Katherine Elkins. brings into promi-
nence the unwritten law of royalty that
princes of the blood royal may not wed
outside the purple.
Princesses sometimes wed below them,
notably the cases of the Princes Louise,
who married the Marquis of Losne, now
Duke of Argyll. and the Princess Royal.
who is Duchess of Fife.
This barrier between royalty and the
peerage did not exist in Tudor days.
Henry VIII married Jane Seymour, Anne
1Ef6leyn, and 1Catharine Parr; Queen Eliza
beth nearly married the Earl of Essex,
the Earl of Leicester, and several other
mobiles. To this day a peer is always
described as cousin" of the sovereign.
and few of them In the old days lack
strain of blood royal. Who were the
Medici but bankers? Yet their daughter
assembled the throne of France The roy
al caste, as at present maintained. is
historically an importation from Ger
many.
The system teens with anomalies and
tragedy. Take Sweden. The King of
Sweden is greatgrandson of Marshal
Bernadotte, a soldier of fortune under
Napoleon. He is the last of Napoleon's
kinglets to retain a throne. Now, the
eldest brother of King Gustav is Prince
Oscar Bernadotte, who married court
lady, Ebba Mnck, of great piety and the
highest character. This lady, with all
her many benevolent works, is not con-
sidered good enough to share her hus-
bands rank, nor may their children sue
coed to the throne.
Here is another case. Until recently the
Prince of Montenegro had not assumed
even theFs comparatively modest title of
"Royal Highness." Years ago he married
a daughter of one of his senators,
lady obviously beyond the dimmest hori-
zon of royal rank. Yet the family has
since contracted brilliant alliances, one
daughter being the lovely Queen Elena
of Italy Still, it is suggested that King
Victor, who thus welded the granddaugh-
ter of a Montenegro senator, will be en-
barrassed If his cousin, the Duke of the
Abruzzi, should take to wife the far
weather. and equally born Miss Elkins.
