4 Lover should Speak Out.

4 question Is put to us 10y a ladyin Brook
lyn which has often been asked The Sun
before, though never SO squalely as in this
letter, apparently written by woman Of
education and good SENSE:
SIN In REGARD to the rights Of men and de rights II
women. wish to ask you IT man hasa nshtto keep
cumrAu, wlth lady for than three wears and not
let her know what be intends lit not woman, night
10 know what ot.,cta man has in winnin. her heart
and ought he not 10 respect TINT rrht Would 1t not bee
better and lar more honorable Tor man Ia speak out
even though he d'Ts not intend marriage, than tokccp
one whom he loves or pr'tends 10 love. constant
Irn'ef Please ave me our views on this subject and
oblse An ANXIOUS Mo1HfK
A man who for three years pays Il lady
attentions which are 50 marked as to lead
her and her friends TO the conclusion that he
is fond of her and desires her for n wife,
and yet who never frankly exposes the state
Of his heart To her, assuredly does not do
right. II lac takes pains to engage the Alec
tions of the lady, but carefully avoids conn
hitting himself by an offer of marriage, he
is Il mean fellow. and ought TO be made to
understand that that IS the opinion enter
tanned Of him. Sometimes the reason the
man fails to speak Is his timdity, or his
fear Of getting refusal, or his inability to
support "A wife; but in this ease the fellow
has been long enough counting to put the
momcntous question, and there is no excuse
for his not doing IT,,
The situation of a young lady under such
circumstances is very trying. and no hon
orable man will place her in it. She can't
force an avowal of love from him, nor will
feminine dclicacy let her expose her own
love unasked. She is kept in state of doubt
which must make her very unhappy, pro-
vided she has really grown fond Of the fell
low; and yet she must wah in suspense for
him to say the word which will bring joy to
her soul. That sort Of thing is oil wrong.

Discretion that should be Limited.

We think that power should be limited 10y

lowances to the successful party in an ex-
traOrdnnry and difficult case Is limited.
Nothing Is SO dangerous said Sir
WILLIAM JoSEs, "as the discretion OF Il
Judge" This is a lesson taught to Us 10y all
history. Our own views go SO far on this
subject that we should like to see allow
ances by Judges in any case whatever pro-
hibted 10y statute.
The temptation TO take property out Of
the hands of its owners ON the ground that
they are insane or NON cOmpos is altogether
too great now. 1t should not be augment
ed by legislation 1t is an extreme power
which is not infrequently outrageously per-
verified and abused. And where the possess
sors of property are really Incompetent to
manage IL, no extravagant compensation
should be- allowed to come out of the estates
Of these most pitiable untortunates
1t Is no sufficient answer to our objections
TO say that most OF our Supreme Court
Judges are high-mindcd men, who could he
safely trusted. We have entire apprecia-
ton of the good men on the bench. But
laws are not safe unless they provide for
the emergency Of bad men a. well n good.
And If it were left to the Judges themselves.
the good men among them would never de-
sire such unrestricted power.

robbers and murderers that infest both
banks, and claim citizenship on the one side
or the other as may suit their purpose.
But no such treaty has been signed to this
day; and when President DIAZ nevcrthe-
less surrendered to tho United States sew
cral Mexican criminals, the American border
authorities, in league with HAYES, insult
ingly demanded other Mexican criminals,
not as favor, but as right
Again, though Gen. DIAz has shown both
the will and the power To police the Mexican
shore Of the Rio Grande by employing be-
tween six and seven thousand soldiers for
that purpose, HAYES instructed Mr. FOSTER
to demand MeNico's treaty consent TO allow
free raiding by the troops Of either country
into the territory of the other in pursuit Of
alleged marauders or criminals. What the
result Of this stroke Of HAYES EvARTs diplo-
macy might have been, we can judge from
the testimony of Gen. SHERMAN, who de-
clared that, in his opinion, any such folly
would produce war between the two coun-
tries in less than two weeks. Mexico de-
bated long before giving an answer. and
then urged that sundry notifications were,
ut any rate, necessary to guard against re-
ducng both borders to martial law--thc lin
iting Of tho pursuit to ii strip fifty miles dis
tant from the river ON either side; the route
of pursuit not to he through towns having
police or judicial power; and the fugitves,
when captured, TO be examined and commit
ted TO Jail by local magistrate pending Il
regular application for eXtradition. so that
the foreign soldicry should. at least, not be
judge. jury, and sheriff combined
Whether war would not have come, even
with these precautions, due To the anxiety
of McXicans, and not Of the Washington
authorities. we cannot say; for, pending
this matter Mr.. EvARTs proposed to fOist
into the new treaty sundry totally eX-
traneous considerations, such as the pay
ment OF claims of Americans for bygone
maraudings and the reimbursement Of
American residents in Mexico for contribi-
clones or forced loans.
OF course treaty making was at once at
an end. and has 50 remained since. The
HAYES plot was evidently not to guard
against future border troubles by mutual
action. but to block settlement 10y import
ing into the negotiations indefinite pecu-
mary claims regarding totally different
matters. And this IL did when Mexico was
already under the heavy burden of Ameri-
can payments made obligatory upon her by
the Joint Claims Commission. |. was worthy
of the HAYES Administration TO ask Presi-
dent DIAz's Government to bind Mexico TO
these indefinite claims for indemnity and
these raids upon her soil, when HAYES hlm-
self refused to recognize DIAz ~ the Pres
ident of Mexico, capable Of 50 binding her.
Such Is the crooked and iniquitous policy
of HAYES aiming palpably at getting Il
territorial hold on Mcxico-that Mr.. FOSTER
was called upon t. carry out. He surely
should be able to cnlighten the committees
of Congress with regard to his part in the
plot

and IL should not be tolerated. Just what
are the feelings of the young man, ought
long before this to have been known to the
girl and her parents.
In the old days in such case the father or
mother Of the girl would have sought prl-
vate interview with the man, and asked him
to state his intentions. There was much to
commend in the custom; but Of late years,
in this country, parents have dolicacy
about interfering IN these matters. fearing
that they will give the impression that
they are too anxious to marry their
daughter OFF They may be exceedingly
DESTROYS Of seeing her well settled i'll
life. and may actually manuuvrc To
make an eligible match for her; but they
hesitate to ask the young man plumply, as
our ancestors did, whether his attentions
are serious or not All they can do is to dis
courage the calls Of gallant VINO enjoys
himself in making love, but who is willy
enough not to declare it.
Our advice TO this anxious mother is TO
treat the fellow Of whom she 80 justly COM
plains with little judicious GOODNESS; To
lessen his opportunities for private inter-
views with her daughter; and to quietly
give him to understand u at he is not TO
he allowed to play fast aud loose with
the girl. Let the young lady carefully ab-
stain from exhibiting any warmth of feel
ing for him, bear herself with dignity and
reserve in his society and permit none Of
his sham love-making. Perhaps after Il
while he will begin tn see that he ought TO
have learned sin three years whether he
wishes t. marry her or not. The trouble
may be that he thinks he can get the prize
at any time and so is in no hurry TO reach
out for it. He should be taught that he is
wrong in his presumption. and can no logger
enjoy the privileges of courtship without
assuming its responsibilities

Further Disclosures Appreciated.

The air Is full Of rumors that Gov. j.
MADISON WELLS, indicted for completely In
the same crime Of which Gen. ANDERSON
has just been convicted, is likely to make
full disclosure Of the whole transaction by
which the vote Of Louisiana was returned
Tor HAYES while It was cast for TILDEN.
Gov. WELLS languishes in jail The pros
pect before him Is not altogether hopeful.
BY making full confession now he could
greatly relieve his conscience and do Il pub
lie service.
II Mr. TWEED had promptly made full
disclosure OF the doings OF the Ring he
would probably have been set at largo long
before this. The trouble with him was that
he delayed too long. His confession had
lost nearly all its value and much of its in
terest.
MI WELLS may profit by TwEED's exam
pie. Let him tell his story now, and the
country will appreciate it as a public SER
vice. Undoubtedly some one will soon turn
States evidence. 1t is the fashion nowadays
TO turn States evidence. In the race for ia

Meanwhile there is quaking and shaking

his fOrcble abduction from this city last
Thursday 10y some persons from Chautauqua
county. were fully narrated ia The SUN "

warrant for the arrest OF Mr.. CLEWs. But
II ne was an officer. and II he did have Il
warrant. he had no right to execute his
warrant in the way II IS represented that he
did. Officers are prohibited from perform

oppressive manner. II the general feeling

eighteen hundred years; and they will not
rest content with mere denunciation Of their
unbelief, nor with arguments based upon
unconcedcd and undemonstrated assump-
tions. Ever since the revival Of learning, i'm
fact, the Church, or, at least, one or the
other branch Of it, has been yielding as un-
tcnablc one dogma after another. The pro-
cess has now reached point where its very
citadel Is threatened, and yet its appointed
guides do not seem to be aware of the peril
which Is at hand, and make no efforts to
avert it, Thousands Of honest and cdu-
Gated minds are already shaken from the
ancient moorings of faith and peace. 1t IS
