EVERY ONE A QUEEN.
We are to have no carnival king or
queen—no royal family—at the Hay
Day Carnival and Btreet Fair in Al
bany, bnt there will he qneens without
number. Every lady who rides in the
grand oarnival procession will be an un
crowned queen, and chivalry will give
spontaneous homage to all—eaoh fair
one being somebody's qneen, each
wielding the scepter of her sex—each
wearing the charming wreath of her
own personality. Bnt there will be no
favored royalty—no ante-carnival eleo
tlon for the' bestowal of a orown and
royal robes at so mnoh a vote.
Tho oarnival qneen bnslness is all
light, perhaps, but It is liable to engen
der jealousies and array one social set
against another. And then the reign
of this counterfeit royalty has been
made so common at carnivals and street
fain of late that It is not nppreoiated
any more by the common herd.
Let ns have a grand oarnival parade
with every fair one who rides in it a
qneen. Let every family oarriage or pri,
veto trap or vehicle of whatsoever kind
that is decorated and entered be on an
equality, each to reoeive the admiration
and reward of its natural and artistlo
beauty.
THE DOWAGER EMPRESS.
The Philadelphia Record thinks that
If the rumors of the serious Illness of
the Empress Dowager of China have
been spread preparatory to Chinese ofll
dal efforts to enable her to eeoape any
form of punishment for the part taken
by her in the reactionary and antt-for-
elgn movement the expectation, of the
Mandarlnate are likely to he disap
pointed. The Power, are not gdng to
permit themselves to be hoodwinked,
While for political reasons they may
nspeot ineradloable Chinese prejndloes
and religion, customs, and may, there
fore, demand of the Empress no pern
anoewbioh would involve bodily vio
lence (whereby the Emperor himself
would suffer degradation in the person of
his olfiolal aneestress), It will oorntalnly
be required that the old lady shall be
deprived of her power to do farther mis
ohlef. Bo far from giving satisfaction
In the Oocidental Cabinets, the reported
death of Kang Yi and the sulolde of Yn
Hsien have arqnsed cuspldon that all of
the Chinese leaders In orlrne may
oonvlently disappear or be pat beyond
the reaoh of the arm of Jostloe in one
way or another. Among the number
who may thus vanish or be pnt ont of

we may say. better in some material

The street oarnival Idea now so popu

right here In Albany in the first hay day

oonntry, so far as we know. Albany is,
therefore, the pioneer in these street
carnivals and fairs. And in the Hay

we ore going to have the biggest thiug
we have ever bad in Albany. This is
no Idle boost. The Herald is willing
to stake it. reputation on it, knowing
whereof it speaks.
The program for the Hay Day Oarni

LET DEMOCRATS TOTE.
The presidential election occurs on
next Tuesday, November 6. At the
same timo congressmen are also to be
elected.
There is no doubt about the result in
Georgia nor in any congressional dis
trict of the state. The electoral vote of
the state will be for Bryan, and every
democratic candidate in the state will
be eleated.
Bat this should not lull the demo
cratic voters of the state into an indif-
ferenoo and caase them to excuse them
selves from going to the polls. It is the
duty of evory democrat to vote on eleo-
tion day. It is dne to the party nomi
nees. And In oar own district it should
be a pleasant duty to perform. The
democratic nominee for congress, Hon.
James M. Griggs, during the two torms
be has served in the national legisla
ture, has certainly earned a cordial and
eathnsiastlo indorsement at the hands
of the people of his district. He re
ceived this in the party primary, but
this is not the vote that will be finally
plaeed to hla oredlt In the records at
Washington. Let ns give him a good vote
on next Tuesday—a vote that will
furnish a fair idea of the democratic
voting strength of the district.

Bays the Philadelphia Reoord: "The
whole administration la on wheels, so
to speak, and Washington has been
well-nigh denuded of Its official popula
tion exoept the few democratic clerks,
who can get no leaves of absenoe, and
the women, who have no votes. Cabi
net members, heads of bureaus and
ohlef clerks are nearly all gone. The
other day a man from the far west
arrived in Washington to attend to
urgent business with the agricultural
department, and called upon the secre
tary, who was absont. Ho next asked
for the assistant seorotary and for the
oliief clerk, who were both on the
stump. Ab the obief of the bureau of
animal industry was also ou a party
mission the western man had to wait
for the appearauco of some othor official
to traueaot his business. When the
eloctiou shall be over and these patriots
shall have saved the country—and thoir
salaries—there will bo scarcely a gov
ernment bureau in which the offlolal
force will bo sufficient to bring np the
arrearages of pnblio business, and con
gress will bo assailed with fresh de
mands for moro offices.”
The gubernatorial race opens up
early, and will have a long time to ran.
The people had barely time to congrat
ulate themselves that after the national
eleotlon politloal agitation in Georgia
would cease for a few months, at least,
when evidence cropped out that the
race for our next governor was already
on. Mr. duBignon, Col. Terrell - and
Hon. J. Pope Brown will, it seems assur

are making it already. Nearly two

RICHEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.
Among the interesting facts brought
oat by the recent cei sas of the United
States is the official claim that this is
uow the richest country in the world.
In a speech before the convention for
social study, in Washington on Tuesday
night, Dr. L. G Powers, chief statisti
cian of the census, said:
The present census when completed
will unquestionably show that the vis
ible material wealth in the country has
value of $90,000,000,000, which means
an addition since 1890, of $25,000,000,
000.
This sura, added to the national
wealth in the last decade, is compared
to the savings of the people in that pe
riod. They were the savings of a peo
ple who were better fed, clothed and
housed than any equal number of hu
man beings in any other land or time,
and yet it is a saving better than all the
western continent had been able to
make from the discovery of Columbus
to the breaking out of the civil war. It
is a saving which represents more houses
and buildings, more furniture in homes,
more implements and raaohinery to as
sist man in his work, more and better
means of communication, more good
olothea, good books and personal adorn
ment than the entire raoe had saved
daring all the countless ages of strug
gles from Adam to the delaration of our
American independence.”
Under an exeontive order Cuba has
been consolidated into A'single military
department, with General Wood in full
control. From Santiago to Puerto Prin
oipe the islanders are busily engaged in
attending to their own affairs, with no
thoughts of revolt or disorder. Cuba is
pacified, sure enough, and the slender
Federal garrison of the island might be
still' further reduoedf/beyond all ques
tiou, without danger to any pnblio or
private interest involved. But when
the whole trnth is told, it must be said
that Cuba is no nearer the realization of
her hopes for. independence than she
was at the outbreak of the revolution.
REFUSES TO TALK.
From Wednesday's Herald-
The Herald published yesterday af
ternoon what purported to be an inter
view of ex'President Cleveland with a
staff correspondent of the Philadelphia
Times in which Mr. Cleveland was
quoted as predicting a land-slide for
Bryan. The interview was considered
of Booh importance that it was tele
graphed from Philadelphia before it
appeared in the Times. Those who.
read it in the Herald might have
readily understood that this paper
didn't have much faith in the genuine
ness of it. To us it had the appearance
of beiog the outgrowth of some conver
sation which some supposed friend
might have hod with the ex-president,
followed by a betrayal. And today we
feel that this view of the matter is
almost conclusively confirmed by a press
dispatch from New York whioh says:
"Grover Cleveland refnses either to
deny or coufirm the report in the Phila
delphia Times this morning In whioh he
is quoted as predioting Bryan's election
by a landslide.
'Nothing else Is being talked of
among the politicians.
The report whioh is expeoted to have
snoh a tremendons bearing on the result
of the eleotlon was entirely without
effect on the stook market. If it had
any effeot at >11 upon prices it was A
favorable one.'
Mr. Cleveland's refusal to either-
deny or confirm the report is aooepted
by everybody as a tacit confirmation. It
is not believed that the Philadelphia.
Times would publish a bogus inter-'
view."
The Joseph Habersham ohapterof the
