Although Quean Charlotte of Wur
temburg is a woman of rare beauty
and charm, and possessed of every
quality to endear her to ber husband's
subjects, yet it would be false to assert
that the recovery from the very eer
ioua illness by which she is now pros
trated is hoped for or prayed for by
the people of Wurtemburg. On the
rantrary they are inclined to hope
that she may be moved to a brighter
and better world In one word, that
her present illness may terminate fa
tally, which it is extremely probable
will prove the rase.
The fact of the matter is that the
(jueen has the disadvantage of being
childless, her husband having only one
daughter, the Princess Pauline, by bis
first wife. Now. women are debarred
from reigning in Wurtemburg, and in
default of mlae issue on the part of
the King, the crown will pass at his
death to the Catholic branch of his
house, the heir presumptive being
young Duke Albert, who is married to
an Austrian archduchess, and who was
educated at Vienna by Jesuit priests.
Now, the people of Wurtemburg are
Lutherans of a more bigoted type
than are to be met anywhere in the
length and breadth of Germany. They
look upon popery with, horror, re
fer to the Catholic Church as the
"Scarlet Woman," and view with
dread the possibility of a Catholic and
priest-ridden king coming to rule over
them. In fact, it may be questioned
whether they would not prefer annex
ation to Prussia and the rule of Em
peror William to that of a Catholic
Unir
If Queen Charlotte succumbs to her
.present malady, which, as stated
above, is extremely probable, the king,
who is still a relatively young man,
m almost certain to marry again, and
It 'may be taken for granted that on
ht occasion he will select a consort
who is likely to provide him with an
heir to the throne. That is wny tne
Wurtemburgers are longing and pray
ing for the death of their lovely Queen
Charlotte, whose life they would
cheerfully sacrifice to avert the possi
bility of a Catholic king coming to
rnlcn over them.
Queen Charlotte is about thirty-two
years of age, has superb dark Hair
and eyes, and a most pleasing and
winnine exDression. She is as cour
ageous as she is beautiful, and on two
occasion has given evidence of great
presence of mind. Once, wnen anv
in? thronirh the streets of Stuttgardt,
the horses took fright and the coach
man was thrown violently to tne
ground. Without a moment's hesita
tion Queen Charlotte sprang onto the
box, seized the reins, stopped the
horses, and then showed the kindness
of her heart by hurrying back to
where the coachman was in order to
inquire about his injuries. On anoth
er occasion her huBband was shot at
while driving with her to church, and
with much devotion she threw herself
in front of him in order to protect
him from injury. Fortunately tne
bullet flew wide its mark. But the act
was, nevertheless, one of great cour
age. Washington Post.
Iliegral AsapssniPiit.
My Dear Sir: I am very much in-
forested in the recent articles of your
wide awake paper in which you ex
pose official corruption. I have been
somewhalt surprised, however, that
neither you nor any other city editor
has noticed the manner in which the
tax commissioner is openly violat
ing the law in making the assess
ments on real and personal property
The following is an extract from the
law creating the office of tax commis
sioner in cities of the metropolitan
0as8.
"The tax commissioner shall by him
elf and his deputies assess and value
at their fair cash value all property
real and personal, and all franchises
within the city limits, belonging to
persons, partnerships, associations
and corporations, which is not exempt
by law from taxation. Each of said
deputies before entering upon the dis
charge of his duties shall take an oath
to impartially list and assess all prop
erty required to be by him listed and
assessed at its fair cash value."
Now, sir, the above reads too plainly
to admit of any misconstruction. What
do we find? I have a home, for in
stance, no man can purchase it from
me today for loss than $5,000; it is
aid by competent judges to be worth
18,000; it cost me more than that. I
went to see how I was assessed, and
of course was pleased to find that I
was exempt from taxes on about $3,
800, my home being assessed at $1,200.
I was about to show the tax commis
sioner the error, when someone asked
that official, "Wbat is the basis of the
assessment under this new state of
affairs?" "We aim to assess at about
30 or 40 per cent of the real value,"
was the reply. Well, I thought if that
is done all around it is equitable, and
the gentleman asking the question so
expressed himself. I afterwards ex
amined the law and found that this
was a clear violation of its provisions:
Tt rpads "At its fair cash value," not.
at 30 or 40 per cent. It Is not lawful
then to assess property In that -tray. Is
it equitable? "Yes." says the rich mm,
and at first plnncp. the poor man
mnkfs the same reply. But who de
manded this violation of the law. the
small property owner? Not at all, they
never invest irate to see how they are
assessed until they ko to pay their
tax. This is the rich man's sugges
tion. It just suits the tax shirkers.
Look at it. In the first place
small holdings are always ap
praised much greater in propor
tion to the real value than large
holdings are. But even if the valua
tions happens to be even, a rich man
has a property worth, say, as John A.
Creiehton's holdings are said to be
worth $3,000,000, under Sackett's un
lawful methods Creighton's realty
would be assessed at about $1,000,000,
driving the count a clear exemption on
$2,000,000 worth of real estate, while
a poor man whose little home is worth
way, $900, is Maesned, on the fame
basil, at $300. exempting him on $600
worth of property. Why should the
one tie exempt on $2,000,000 while the
other geta clear only on $600. This
scheme is manifestly not in the inter
est of the poor man. If the law were
observed aa it ought to be, the rich
man would pay his Juirt proportion of
his taxes, but as it now la the great
mass of poor men bear the heavy end
of the burden. I have taken great
pains to thoroughly examine into
this matter before arriving at this con
clusion. You will notice also that the
law requires all franchises to be as
sessed at their fair cash value. Com
missioner Sackett has ruled that these
amount based on their earnings, and
amount based on their earnings, and
of course the word of the managers
as to the earnings is accented. Now
if Mr. Sackett's law Is good, why not
assess my vacant lots at their earning
capacity. I am the unfortunate holder
of such lots thtt have run me In the
hole several hundred dollars each
year, on Mr. Sackett's theory the city
owes me a neat amount for taxes in
stead of asking me to pay.
This letter is already growing too
long. In a future one I shall point out
some other serious breaches of law
in the tax department of the city. I
trust this may set the small property
owners thinking. Yours trulv.

Abraham Lincoln.
Mr. Lincoln was a thorough poli
tician in the best sense of the term.
He recognized the imperative need of
parties in American political affairs.
He did all In his power to build up
the great party which he so ably rep
resented, the party of freedom, of en
lighted statemanship, of national
honor, and progress.
But he was an honjest politician.
Hia honesty was entirely compatible
with a strong personal desire to fill
the highest position within the gift of
man. Honesty and lawful ambition are
not contraries. Mr. Lincoln never
stooped to the packing ot primaries,
to the buying and selling of votes,
to bargaining with the men of influ
ence by promising them office.
By the very laws of human action
he was constrained to reward his sup
porters with places of trust and profit.
Honest politics does not forblde this.
It is not necessary to go to the length
of the motto "To the victors belong
the spoils" in affirming the principle.
No matter under what name a politi
cal movement may be carried on, it
cannot help becoming a party move
ment. There must lie an organiza
tion. There must be prominent men
within it. There must be wheels
within wheels, and in all probability
there will be a wheel within all the
wheels, and a living spirit within
that wheel to move all the rest. There
fore there will be "a machine."
It is senseless to cry out against a
machine. Work cannot be done with
out the human hand or machinery
which stands for the hand. Political
work must be done by a political ma
chine. But we need the right kind of a ma
chine, or of men composing it. We
want mm who will not be on the
lookout perpetually for their own sel
fish ends. We want men filled with
the spirit of patriotism and of incor
rupt honesty, like Abraham Lincoln,
"to run the machine." Good citizens
ought to become parts of such a ma
chine. They ought to refuse abso
lutely to be controlled by men whom
they dm not personally respect or in
whom they have no genuine political
confidence.
They cannot win unlesss they are
organized into a party. I fully be
lieve the best party ever compacted
together was that one thrilled vand
inspired by the grandly principled
personality of Lincoln. If kept to
high ideals, I believe it to be the
party best prepared to carry on the
American Republic to loftier heights
of national glory. Bishop Samuel
Fallows In Chicago Tribune.
Inconsistency.
Editor American: Can you tell
your readers why it is that notwith
standing the fact that within a few
hours' sail of our shores of freedom
there are a brave people protesting
against the misrule of a rotten old
country government that has been
abusing them for years, an although
now for three long weary years they
have been fighting bravely against
fearful odds in order to throw off that
yoke. Why is it they have not re
ceived any material help from our
government.
It is only a short time since the
whole country was electrified by our
then President, throwing down the
gauntlet to Great Britain in the mat
ter of the Venezuelan controversy;
this, be it remembered has reference
to proceedings thousands of miles
away and in a country only remotely
related to us, if at all, and concerning
which it would have been a decided
benefit if every inch of it had been
appropriated by Great Britain for it
would thereby have been assured of
a staple government and a better
future. Why this strange contrast in
our bearing toward Spain and Eng
land. My privale opinion is that the
true secret lies in the religions per
vading the countries concerned and
here what an enigma confronts us;
we are ready to fight to hinder Pro
testant England from extending the
benefits of her superior civilization to
a Rome misruled people though re
motely removed from us and we are
apathetic towards a people who are
vigorously protesting against the in
human Komish butcher perpetrating
his villainies at our very doors. It
seems to me that the whole question
simme.red down resolves itself into
just this: Our men of aJTairs are ca
tering to the Roman vote in our
midst, Republican and Democrat alike
are kissing the Roman toe and In so
far are worshipping the Beast.
But, dear sir, the chief object in my
writing to you is not so much to got
light on these matters as it is to
arouse the interest of your readers far
and near in this brave people fighting
for freedom.
Ws enjoy political freedom and it
is our duty and privilege to extend
sympathy and aid to all others seek
ing the same. This case is peculiar
the uppermost, crying need of the
hour is food and medicine for the per
ishing. The figures from reliable
sources In Cuba make a fearful indict
ment against Spain's ferocity and a
heartbreaking spectacle for our more
civilized cause lYotestantlted citi
zens. Over 480,000 people ar al
ready dead from starvation lnldw
the large number who have died
fighting. Five hundred thousand now,
today starving to death, many too far
gone to be saved but many who yet
may be saved by prompt measures.
Our government has Issued an ap
peal for aid and while our state gov
ernor went through tbe formality of
appointing1 a committee to partioi
pate in the national aid movement
we have not heard further from it.
The dally press fall to give us the har
rowing details from the Romish
Spain cursed island for reasons best
known to themselves and Rome. They
have treated all too mildly, the ruf
fian Weyler and his like, and all the
while the ebbing life of thousands of
men women and children in Cuba crying-
to lleaven for redress. The
Christian Herald of New Virk, Dr.
Talmage, editor, has nobly come to
the rescue and has guaranteed $10,000
a month and placed Miss Clara Bar
ton, of Red Cross fame, in C'uIhv to aid
in saving the perishing. Would it
not be a good thing for us readers of
the American and believers of sound
principles to Join hands with the
Christian Herald In this noble work
by sending what we can direct to that
paper or by opening an American
fund.
All monies sent to the Christian
Herald Biole House, New York city,
arre duly acknowledged in the col
umns of the paper and go swiftly and
surely to the place of need. Remem
ber that ten cents a day saves a life
even with the high prices prevailing
in CnlMt; a dollar we so often and
carelessly spend on needless things
will feed ten people a day. The
quickest way would be to send direct
to the Herald as above and credit the
Omaha American with calling atten
tion to the need and may many, very
many respond to this appeal. Starv
ing Cuba stretches her hands to us to
day. It any man see his brother have
need and shut up his compassion
from him how dwelleth the lovo of
God in him.

Minneapolis, Feb. 13. Senor de
Lome has expressed his opinion and
has flown. His opinion of our sanchn
Panza president has caused quite a
flurry in diplomatic circles. Of course
it was out of place and contrary to
international courtesy to criticise Mr.
McKinley but did he tell the truth?
Well, there's a whole lot of people who
will not question it. Ask John Ireland
or J. Card. Gibbons if they ever had a
more worthy "Colleague" in the pres
ident's chair?
Mr. de Lome will receive a heap of
abuse in this country; and he deserves
it. He shows the gratefulness of the
Spanish heart. And McKinley got just
what he deserves for monkeying with
the dons. It is said that Tom Reed
is smarting under the insult. Poor
Tom! If Don Quixota had one sanrho
panza, Tom Reed has 200 in the house
and more faithful than the one of old.
Wonder what Sir J. Pauncefote, G.
C. M. G., K. C. B. and Mr. L. Hengle
miller Von Henguvar, and M. Pati
notre, and Baron Fava and a few oth
ers think of our president.
Politicarstro! good!
.Good bye, de Lome, come again!

ing! Shake hands with Sackville

Political Corruption,
Dear American: You desire praise
for your courage in showing up the
most dangerous class of holdups that
wreck society. I placed the proceeds
of a life policy of my dear dead son
In the savings bank. It is heid up,
not from any fault of the bank direc
tors, but such men as you name held
the bank up.. Just think. Mr. Rose
water faring sumptuously every day
on the $13,500.00 of the funds which
should be In the hands of needy de
positors, while I, a poor woman left
with a helpless family must go hun
gry and cold notwithstanding the
kind provision made by my dear boy.
How long will God let this so-called
Christian city be infested with such
a holdup, who himself cries "Stop
thief." Oh, Mr. Editor, tear the mantle
of hypocracy from the morally de
formed wretch. Let us see him and
be on our guard. I never fear a foot
pad, but now I have reason to fear
such men as Edward Rosewater.
Yours gratefully,
MRS. C

The Omaha American is now pub
lishing a vote coupon for President
and Vice President of the United
States. Thus far is seen that the
staunch and unflinching American,
Hon. W. S. Linton, leads, although Mc
Kinley has quite a following. This
shows that a large number of so
called Americans are Republicans first
j and Americans only in name. We.
j consider that the man railing himself
an America", and who would cast a
! vote for McKinley after the "showing
i of hands" he has made, is a mighty
I poor specimen of American manhood.
