Queen Yictoria has suggested
to parliament legislation that shall
refuse marriage license in cases
where it does not appear that a
family can be supported. The en
actment of such a law fifty years
ago and its impartial enforcement
would have made every child to
which the Queen has given birth , a
celebate. There is not one in the
whole lot who has earned enough
to pay for tho salt in the porridge
which constitutes a regular article
of diet at the Queen's table.

The strawberries produced this
season have not been satisfactory
in flavor in any part of the country
The crop is unusually abundant anc
the berries are large but the peo
pie are sighing for the old fashion
ed fruit with its irresistible habU
of melting in the mouth and its in
comparable flavor. The truth is
that overculture has destroyed the
strawberry. The more it is civil
ized and "improved" the more does
it lose the qualities that have made
it the favorite berry of this lati
tude. Journal.
The daily business of the Stand
ard Oil trust amounts to § 400,000 ,
or $ Ufi,000,000 a year. The total
value of its plant added to the in
dividual wealth of its members is
believed to be quite modestly esti
mated at § 750,000,000 of which
total John D. Bockfeller's fortune
alone figures at § 130,000,000. The
original cash capital of this colos
sal trust twenty-six years ago , when
it was founded , was but § 75,000 , -
000. The old proverb which says
"Honest- the best policy" is
knocked out in one round by
figures like these.
A special session of the Illinois
legislature has been called for the
purpose of enacting the necessary
laws to expedite work on the world's
fair. The financial end of the expo
sition , while not in a flourishing
condition , will be provided for by
giving the city of Chicago authori
ty' to issue five millions in bonds ,
and to vest in the city temporarily
the right of eminent domain. Both
laws are essential to the success of
the fair. The right to condemn
property for fair purposes will re
move a serious obstacle to early
work on the buildings and prevent
to a large extent the struggle over
sites.
The public will learn with sin
cere regret that Lionel Burnett ,
who is known to the reading world
as "Little Lord Fauntleroy , " is dy
ing of consumption at Philadel
phia. Mrs. Burnett will have the
earnest sympathy of the mothers
of the land , who have learned to
love the little hero whose lovely
character has been portrayed in
the popular work of fiction of which
he is the central figure. But un
less the writer of "Little Lord
Fauntleroy" exaggerated the amia
ble qualities of her son , she had no
cause to hope that she would be
able to rear him. Children like
the "Little Lord" are too good for
this wicked world. They never
live to pass the period of early
youth.
The government land office rig
idly adheres to the principles
snunciated by Judge Groff. In
bwo recent decisions affecting en
tries in Nebraska , in which con
tests were made on the ground of
insufficient cultivation , the depart-
nent promptly dismissed the cases.
Ct was shown that the settlers en
ured the land in good faith and
jomplied with the law to the ex-
: ent of their ability. This is all
: he department requires. It is in
iccord with the spirit of the law
vhich was designed to assist set
ters to secure a home. When-
and culti
3ver a settler occupies
vates a homestead to the extent of
lis ability , the department de-
; lares he shall be protected in his
• ia-hts. In such cases claim jump-
srs will not receive the slightest
ancouragement. Bee.

The bill pending in congress
providing for the protection of tim
ber lands on the public domain
should be promptly passed. It is
estimated that there are fifteen mil
lion acres of timber land in tho
west and northwest. Of this vast
empire hundreds of acres are
ruined annually by fires started by
careless campers , hunters and pro
spectors. The evil can only be
stopped by visiting severe penal
ties on all persons who start or
leave fire in the forest. A meas
ure of this kind , vigorously and
impartially enforced , is essential
to the preservation of the remnant
of forests. Disastrous results in
variably follow the shippings of
mountains of timber , as is shown
by the annual flood torrents in the
Ohio valley. In the mountains of
the west it is particularly import
ant that every possible means
should be employed to protect the
timber from destruction. The suc
cess of irrigation largely depends
on preserving the timber so to
insure gradual melting of snow.
It is a crime for the government to
continue indifferent to the preser
vation of forests and permit its
causeless destruction by vandals.

Close readers of the best week
ly papers published in Nebraska
have noticed a decided change of
late in the tone of the articles on
the condition of the farmers and
business interests of the state
generally. The country press , it
appears , is beginning to reflect a
general desire among the sober ,
thinking farmers , to cease their
bitter denunciations of the rail
roads and the mercantile classes ,
and to defend the state against
the attacks of the demagogues who
are willing to blast the reputation
of Nebraska to secure public office
for themselves. It is fortunate
that the farmers are beginning to
leam that these pretended friends
are their worst enemies , and it is
doubly fortunate that the farmers
have an opportunity to express
their convictions on this subject
through the columns of the local
press. Demagogism has killed
itself in Nebraska. Journal.
The selection of Bishop Burke
as successor of the late Bishop
O'Connor is an event of unusual in
terest to members of the Boman
Catholic church. His promotion
is the result of peculiar circum
stances. Bather than offend the
bishops of the province and the
priests of the diocese , both having
recommended two prominent
clergymen for the position , the
propaganda chose the middle
course and selected Bishop Burke
of "Wyoming. His ability , energy
and conservative zeal manifested
in other fields will be invaluable
in the wider sphere which the See
af Omaha affords. Being familiar
with western ways and wants , there
is no doubt he will prove an honor
; o the position and an important ac
quisition to the religious parts of
: he city. Bee.
There are chumps and chumps ,

lay.
