(ntarnationsl _ THE MINORITY BRAKE. i; WENTY-FIVE Democratic Legislators refused to : enter the Sheehan caucus at Albany and twenty- | eight Republican Legislators kept out of the Lodge caucus at Boston. These men are of the minorities that may be said to guard the conscience of parti that stand for the integrity of principle against the domination of the machine. Once when Richard Brinsley Sheridan was opposing the adminis- tration of the younger Pitt he was denounced by an opponent as “a brake upon the wheels of government.” “I accept the simile,” torted Sheridan, “for the brake is never applied unless the coach is going down hill” q Both the Democratic and the Republican coaches need a brake | at this time; but in a special measure it is needed by the Democracy of New York. If Murphy drives there will be a spill. The election of a Ryan Senator as a result of the repudiation of Roosevelt would disgust the independent vote, check the reform movement, tend to reaction. It would endanger every chance of Democratic victory in the next Presidential campaign. Te SEWING OR LANGUAGES? PON the question whether the purposed economies re- of the Board of Education should be achieved by | reducing the instruction given in languages or that given in sewing, there ought not to be any prolonged controversy. A knowledge of foreign languages is an excellent accomplishment; it is often of great service in a commercial or'a political career; but to a girl, unless she is very rich indeed, a knowledge of sewing is a necessity. Over and above the advantage of ekill in the art of sewing iteelf, | there is further gain from the mere training of the hand and the eye, change from the almost incessant drilling of the memory in the ordinary process of school lessons. We teach words too much. We teach work too little. Finally, since the Board is seeking public economy, why should it , begin by reducing instruction in domestic economy? ——__ ++-+-____ THE CHEERFULNESS OF HYDE. ROM the lightness with which Chamberlain Hyde —Aiacstad 4 treats the duties of his office and the flippancy with | which he dismisses all criticism of his neglect of | on them, it appears that, however sad or disturbed may i have been the processes of his liver during the days y when the Legislative Investigating Committee was searching for him, there was never at any time a trace of weakness or of wavering in the functioning of his gall. In that respect, at least, he if returns home with the perdurable toughness of an alligator. og And now, what is to be done about it? It is the old question that has been asked of the shortcomings or overdoings of municipal officials ever since Tweed’s time. The M generation that knew Tweed found a way to do something. Perhaps ‘ this generation will some day attain an equal clearness of vision. The 4 issue applies to more officials than one, and to more questions than i; those of neglect of duty and evasion of subpoena. po KING AHAB’S LABEL LAW.

For more than 190 years this has borne mute testimony to one of history’s strangest “ifs.” Just as a spider once changed the future of Scotland, so a spider, {0 quite a different way, altered the future of Germany and of all Wurope This German spider, unlike Bruce's, did not set a tired king an example Ly perseverance, Its one claim to immortality was the fact that it lrappene? to tumble Into a cup of chocolate. Not a heroic or spectacular feat; but one that saved a royal life and a nation's career. The life saved by the spider was that of Frederick the Great. The na- tion was Prussia, which, under Frederick's genius, had suddenly become a world power. Frederick—a lean, undersized man—came to the throne in 1740, when he was twenty+ight years old. Prussia was then a respected and wealthy State, but not strong or prominent enough to suit Frederick's ambitions. He planned to carry it into the very foremost ranks of European Powers. Bullding up national welfare at home, he also plunged into a series of foreign quarrels. In consequence he found himself in Austria, France, Russia, Sweden and Saxe alliance that threatened to grind Prussia to the very dust. A seven-year conflict followed, Frederick was often beaten, but won some glorious victories against heavy odda, and by sheer genius saved his country from any worse fate than the loss of many men and much money, Incidentally, his prowess had won for himself the nickname ‘The Great," and gave his country a worldwide prestige. Throughout Frederick's reign tt was Austria that ever menaced him. Aus- trian armies, Austrian plots and Austrian influence were constantly launahed against Prussia, Only Frederick's personal wisdom and foresight kept Austria from dominating all Germany, and from annexing Bavaria and other German States. With Frederick out of the way, Austria might have carried out her echames and have placed upon Germany’s neck @ yoke that would have been well-nigh impossible to remove, and, unofficially or otherwise, efforts were made to aseas- sinate the Prussian King, The most dangerous of these conspiracies was averted by the smallest sort of an “if.” Here is the stury: Frederick was in the habit of rising at 4 or 5 o'clock in the morning. Ho used to go directly to his study, where, sipping a cup of chocolate, he would transact official business for several hours, looking over complaints, readinit personally every letter addressed “ To the King,” righting grievances and solving knotty political problems. Early one morning the King, with his two pet greyhounds at his heels, walked into his Neues Palais study and began looking over a heap of document Piled on the table there. A servant placed the usual cup of hot cholocate at tis} side, Having chanced to open some letter of more than usual interest, Freder- ick waited until he had finished reading {t before turning to his morning chocolate. Then, to his disgust, he found that a spider had fallen from a web on the cetiing and had landed in the middie of the cup. The poor insect was sprawling helpless in the chocolate. It was not a sight to tempt the appetite, espe- clally @o early in the morning. The King pushed the oup | aside and rang for another. ‘Then he noticed the mreyhounds that had come close to his chair tn the hope 6t sharing thelr master’s morning meal. Pouring the chocolate, spider and ail, into a saucer, Frederick set the receptacle on the floor in front of the hounds. In a minute the hungry dogs had licked the saucer clean, In another minut» doth animals were writhing and howling in death agonics. The chocolate had contained enough poison to kill several mon. But for the spider the King would have died as swiftly and as surely as did his dogs. Inquiries were made at once. The King’s French cook had prepared the chocolate. Offlcers of the guard hurried to seize him and drag him before Fred erick, But they were not quick enough. News of his crime's failure had alreacy reached the cook, and to avoid capture he had cut his throat. Little by Mttle the truth came out. The cook had been secretly in the pay of an Austrian intriguer, and had been induced by large reward to administer the poison. . ‘The King, in memory of the epider that had eaved his life, caused his Neues Palais study to be adorned with the big golden web, which may still be seen there, WE ARE SHY on CARS SIR .SEE THE PRESIDENT Fighting at Heavy Odds.
