Some uew thinira we can teach the world; nay, u-f linvc done it already. But some .... r other things we are not ho good at. Knglniul could give us some points in inuniciiml government; our cities are scarcely so well managed as Manchester and Birmingham. Eng land prepares her, diplomatists by natural selection and systematic rain ing : we trust the fitness of ours to luck. She has standards of public character and conduct in office: it is questionable whether we have any. She cultivates and defers to expert opinions on finance, political economy and the like: we hold "professors and theorists" in some contempt, aud consider a man's notion as good as another's. When new dangers and duties confront us, our happy-go-lucky temper retails the man in Dickens who "supposed" he could play the fiddle; lie had never tried. Now Britain can ns a rule rely on the qualities needed in any of her public servant. It is that English men arenaturally letter or brighter than Americans; they and we are built on the same foundations; but they are trained for their work they have to Ik-. It is not so long since apjwintmeuts with them came by patronage and "pulls," much' a with us now; but they found it ex pedient to substitute a merit system. That svstem has had a good deal to do with England's prosperity and progress, with her recent atrides to ward widened empire, with her pres ent greatness trederie M. Hint, In September Lrpjnncott . Holland and Its Girl-Queen. "i wonder the painters love Holland. 'Pictures, pictures every where, in sky and land and sea,' writes Edward A. Steiner intheSep- temljer Woman's Home Companton, in an article entitled "The Fair (hrl-Quecn of Holland." "Whether vim kih them from the sea or from the land, from the avenue or the al lev, always beautiful, always pie turcsMue in sunshine, in ram, in storm and in calm, always pleasing to the eve. It is a soothing beauty ; not grand sis the mountains, not vast and terrible as the sea, but quiet like a lullaby. "The crown of the Netherlands is safe in Wilheniina'seepiug. Large her domain will never lw, but always great. Her armies and fortres6s are small and few, but the homes are pure and clean, and the people contented and jieace-loving. Mod est, lowly, yet beautiful and great in this little country, in which for centuries the jteople have lattled with the ocean and with tyrants, and have conquered Iwth. The traveler is amazed in the stKjtless pavements, the well-kept farms and shining houses ; but this eternal cleanliness is only the outward manifestation of the character and history of the eo ple. Holland's history it as clean as its village streets, and the influ ence of the Dutch has extended around the world. Over this coun try the joung queen is alwutto be gin her reign under the happiest and most promising of auspices. In the plain old kirk in which the corona tion ceremonies are to take place Wilhelmina will taketheoath iuthe words preseriljed by custom, vowing to 'defend and preserve with all her jwwer the indejjenuenoeand territory of the kingdom, to protect the gen eral aud individual liberties of her subjects, and to employ all the means placed within her power by the con stitution to maintain and promote the welfare of her jwople.' "At the age of eighteen Willie! miua is a very attractive young wo- tnau, with a eweetfaoeanlaii engage log personality. - Having grown np under the watchful eyes of heraub iects, she has ruled theni as girl almost as completely as she will as a queen uot with the away ot yw scepter, but with those qualities of heart and mud which have, so en dearedher and her people." THE TERM T0R1AL P0L1 CY OF THE UNITED STATES, NEW AND OLD The one point in which the foreign policy of the United States has been, from the very begiuning of the his tory of the Republic, steadily and uniformly consistent, has been the avoidance of all enterprises, of all responsibilities, all intervention ot any kind, beyond the limits of the two American continents. The ad vice delivered by George Washing ton in his memorable farewell ad' dress of 1796 the fruit of a eniin lently calm, sagacious, and dispas sionate judgment expressed m terms of impressive weight and moderation, produced a pro found effect upon the nation, and has been ever since regarded with the kind of veneration whichdutifnl children attach to the last words of a father. The views contained in President Monroe'B famous message of 1823 expressly excluded the idea ot American interiercnce in riiiro- pean complications : . and though these views have never been formally adopted by Congress, the message has been practically recognized , as embodying the settled purpose ot the nation. Attempts repeatedly made to go beyond the line indicated in these two documents have been defeated. For instance, President Grant's plan of annexing San Dom ingo (1870-1873) had to be dropjied; and when, a few years ago, an Am- ricau diplomatist had taken part in the negotiations for the settlement of the new Congo cstatem West Atnca, the Uuited States government with held it signature from the final act, conceiving that any engagements re lating to Afrun lay outside the tra ditional sphere of American action. So when, in and since 1895, ques tions affecting trade in China have come up which might have leen very important to the United Estates, it was understood that the adminis tration then in office refused to take part in adjusting them, gladly as one, at least,of the European powers concerned would have welcomed its intervention. Nothing, in fact, has. till very recently, seemed more cer tain than that the United State would acquire no transmarine terri tory whatever. But now, within the last few weeks, a prospect of such acquisition has arisen three quarters, and has arisen under con ditions which make it seem more difficult to reject than to accept these unexpected gifts of fortune.

On her Journey from tm Hacue to thil city, accompanied by her mother, the youthful monarch u received with every manifestation of affection by the assembled thouaaads he passed en route. The queen arrived la this elty al 1 o'clock, aad was enthusiastically re- QUEEN WILHELMINA. celved. After the burgomaster had de livered a speech of welcome the queen drove to the Damplats. The uniformed guards lined the entire route and kept back the throngs. The crowds in the streets, at the windows and on the roofs formed a scene of the wildest enthusiasm, everybody shouting and singing to the utmost of their ability. The royal coach was ot whits, orna mented with gold, and drawn by eight black horses. Queen Wilhelmina, who looked pale and tired, bowed and waved her handkerchief continually. In front of the palace the army and navy were drawn up In the form of a great square before drawing up at the entrance of the palace. A few moments later Queen Wilhelmina appeared upon the balcony and bowed repeatedly to the (0,000 people who approached the pal ace waving handkerchiefs, hats and flags. Meanwhile many bands were playing national airs, chimes of bells were ringing and steam whistles shrieking their salutes to the young sovereign. . The entire court, In carriages, par ticipated in the procession to the pal ace. A guard of honor composed of generals asconted the royal coach. Sick Soldier Arrested Tor Desertion. Chicago, Sept .Crippled with rheu matism and malaria. Private William R. Flynn. Company M. BUth Pennsyl vania volunteer Infantry, has spent two nights and a day in a .damp cell at the police station here, and yester day was taken to Fort Sheridan under arrest aa a deserter. The prisoner had been two hours put of alck bed and was taking a walk with his mother when detectives took him Into custody. Flynn Is 21 years of age, and Joined the regiment at Wllkesbarre, where he was working. At Thoroughfare Clap, Va., Flynn became ill.

Dr. Manler, who was attending him, Issued a certificate that the youth was too in to return to his regiment The prisoner's mother claims to have sent the certificate to the proper of ficers. Interesting Decision That Af fects Those Who Will Wed. A. D. Stauffer, clerk of the Or phans' Court of Northampton coun ty has recieved the following letter in answer to a letter ot inquiry, re lative to the .taxinir of marriage li censes, from the office of Internal Revenue at Washington: "Sir: In reply to your inquiry, relative to taxing marriage license certificates, you are informed that this office holds that neither the li cense nor certificates are'subject or liable to the stamp tax under the provision of the act of June 13,1898. The basis of opinion seems to Ik that as the whole fabric of society rests on nvirnage, the State is only protecting her own future in throw ing guards around marriage, and therefore, such licenses and certifi catcs are exempt. I should have laid an official opinion written for vou, but there are 25(H) awaiting such answers now, and so it would be some days before yours would fall inline." The decision from theDepartment at Washington is at variance with that given by Revenue Collector McClain, sent to the effect tliat nun isters must put a 10 cent stamp on the wrtinicate. MARRIRT).
