The Reflections of a British Maiden.


Are you aware, my desr, of the appsll,
ing fact that there are 9tS,04 M more wo'
men than men in Great Britain2 This
awful disparity seems likely to become
greater and greater, for more girls are born
than boys, and men do not, as a rule, live
so long IS women.
We English girls are all taughtfrcm our
nursery days upwards to look forward to
the time when we shall be married and
live happy ever after" Do not all the
nursery stories and fairy tales end with
wedding bells? And | suppose it is nstur.
al for a woman to like to have a home OF
her own, and a husband and children.
There are women who would despise Us for
making such q confession; but do you not
think with me that an unshsred life seems
incomplete? Well, deac, in the face Of all
this are those dreadful six figures, the
female overplus of 94S, 900.
ltis' therefore, quite apparent that sew.
eral hundred thousands of US must remain
single, and We may as vel! look the mat.
ter straight in the face, aud, while we hone
for the beat, prepare for the worst.

STILL UP WITH THE TIMES

Hon. John II. Reagan, OF Texas, Is ai
other man who wins favor with the people
because he stands for something Whi,e
many of the Texas Representatives have
had great difficulty in securing renomina
tons. and in several instances have faiel
dismally, Mr.. Reagan finds himself in tn.
field by reclamation.
He is an elderly man who would natur.
ally be giving away now To younger leaders
If he had not fortified himself by champion.
ing an idea. He has served under three gov.
ernments-those of the Republic of Texas,
the ill-starred Coniederacy, and the United
States. Almost alone among the men who
were conspicuous in the Confederate gov.
eminent, Mr.. Reagan is now in high posi-,
ton in obedience TO popular vote, and this
Is due more TO the fact that he has placed
himself in advance of the people than to
any other reason.
AS long as Mr.. Reagan remains in the
House OF Representatives there will be one
man who will make it point to seek a
solution Of the interstate commerce prob
lem. He has stood for that idea for more
than ten years, and 1t has been through his
instrumentality that public sentiment has
been educated upon the subject as it has
been. He may not live TO see his bill a
law, but he will at least have the satislac.
ton OF knowing that he has sown seed
which will some day bear fruit

MlLLIONAIREs MULTIpLyING

A bulletin issued from the Treasury De.
partment states that the receipts of that es.
adjustment are now more than million a
day. This represents comparatively small
proportion OF the money actually collected
from the people in the form of taxes, but it
will do to point moral and adorn tale.
A million day, the annual receipts of
the government will be $365O00,OOO. That
is a great deal Of money. The people of
the Northern States may scrape all their
surplus grain, pork and manufactures which
they have been in the habit of sending abroad
and they will hardly receive enough from
the sale thereof TO liquidate their federal
taxes. The entire exports Of the country
last year were about 800, 100000. Thus for
every two dollars that was received from
abroad one dollar went into the treasury.
When it Is considered that the money that
goes into the national Golfers represents but
a small proportion of the taxes paid in this
country, that every smoke stack in America
marks the spot where some favored indi-
sidua or corporation has set up toll gate
under government auspices, and that in all
the great cities of the nation there are com.
bina,ions of gentlemen who, like the coal
barons, meet regularly once month TO
levy ON the consumer an impost to suit
themselves, ii will be seen that the taxing
industry in America is in fiourshlng con.
dition. Under all the circumstances, is 1t at
all wonderful that there are labor troubles
or that the rewards of toll are becoming
more and more unsatisfactory to the men
who make the wealth of the country.
No one need look beyond these facts for
the causes of discomfort. They are enough
To account for anything that has happened
or that can happen. The substance of the
pepple Is being wasted. II is diverted from
It's legitimate channels by unequal laws.
The millionaires are multiplying under
these laws as they are in no other land un.
der the sun. The way out is plain. A Con.
gress must be elected which will devote one
entire session to the repeal of the laws
which the business rings have made.

now STANDS THE SCORE,

In his message TO the Mexican Congress,
President Diaz refers at some length 10 the
Cutting episode, and, after congratulating
both countries on the happy termination of
the affair, he says that "when the govern.
ment of the United States had been better
Informed It did not insist upon the demand
which had given rise to the momentary
difficulty"
From this IL would appear that the i'm.
preston prevails in Mexico that the Ameri.
can government has receded from the posi-.
ton that the law under which Cutting was
tried and convicted was one which Mexico
had no right TO pass. If that is the case 1t
is time that the people knew it. II has
been supposed all along that Mr. Bayard
was in for dear life 10 the principles that
Americans could not be punished 10 any
other country for crimes committed here.
II he has not been why did Sedgwick go 10
Mexico. and why has not something been
said about the matter?
TO become involved in foreign broils is
bad enough, but 10 get Into trouble and be
beaten ut II is unindurable. Ia some Of his
numerous interviews II would be we'll II the
Secretary Of State please explain how the
score stands.

THE SPANISH REVOLU 7TON,S.

That the Spanish people have made con
siderable advances in political aptitude is
shown by the quick suppression of the mis-
cradle attempt at a revolution that was
made in Madrid only a few days ago.
Twenty-Five or thirty years ago an up.
rising OF this kind would probably have
been attended with much more serious and
altogether different consequences AT that
time when military leader had the bold
ness to issue pronunciamiento he was pref
ty sure offinding a large number of dissatis.
fed people, in and out of the army, ready
To rally TO his cause, but in the present in.
stance the conspirators seem to have gained
no recruits, those only acting with them
who were aware OF the plot before it was
openly announced
The complete collapse of the undertake
ing will go far toward satisfying dscon-
tented and ambitious military leaders in
Spain that they cannot now practice on the
lberian peninsula those reasonable tactics
that were in use, to considerable purpose, a
generation or so ago.
The Spanish people have had number
OF sorry experiences, the result of which
has been TO teach them that governments
which have their origin in mutiny are, at
best, but short-lived affairs, and do not tend
to the correction of abuses or to the improve.
ment of the people. Even Senior CASTELAR,,
who is thorough republican, besides man
of exceptional talent, is of the opinion that
nothing is TO be gained by attempting To
force republican Institutions upon those who
are unprepared for them, particularly AS
Spain can probably establish republican
form Of government at almost any time that
a majority of her citizens show themselves
10 be in favor OF this species of rule.

AN AGGRESSIVE AND LNTELLI.
GENT CAMPAIGN.

Although the sixth district has for the
past eight years sent Republican member
to Congress we have held the opinion that
with harmony in our ranks, an active can
vass, and the issues involved fairly and in.
diligently placed before the people, it would
adhere in sentiment and political represen-
tation with the other congressional districts
o the State.
With past differences obliterated, jeal-
csies silenced, chickering's buried, and the
ssurance that the most perfect harmony
prevails WIN me lead and file OF the party
throughout the district, we desire TO see in
augurated an active, aggressive, intelligent
and enthusiastic campaign. There must be
no delay, the exigencies Of the hour demand
it-no dsappointment--the people expec,
1t.
Holding the full confidence and respect
of his party, approaching that the hour is
upon us when wrongs are TO be redrcssed
honesty and economy firmly established
Col. Baughman win not fail to open a mer
CHESS and unremitting fire all along the
lines of the enemy--declare "war to the
knife and the knife to the hilt"
Tearing into threads the fimsy gauze Of
self-adulation which his opponent so un,
blushingly wove for himself upon the nc
ceptance Of his neutrality-suspicious. him
up to an indignant and outraged people, he
will excoriate him until his hide tinges al
the misstatements made, the false theories
enunciated and endorsed, and his absolute
subserviency to the behests of party thai
is reeking with dishonesty and covered
with crimes.
Confront him with the humiliating fact
that at no period in the history Of this gov
eminent has executive patronage been used
for greater extent Of time and with more
criminal lavishment than 1t has by the Re
publican party from the election of Lincoln
down TO the present day-used in order tc
keep control OF the general government
and further, behind all this, the money used
by corrupt officials, wealthy and overgrown
monopolies and millionaires who were seek
ing to control the legislation OF the country
and that in no case has it been used more
freely than for the success Of one Louis Z
McComas, of Washington county.
Make II known that the Democratic party
never held for high tariff, and the industries
of the country can never flourish or come in
fair competition where one is taxed for the
benefit Of another.
Without reference to further vulnerable
points, we hope and expect to see Colonel
BangbmsD opep upon theenemy at an, early
day-rid the district OF the disgrace of Re
publican representation, and plant it in har.
mony with the balance of the State.
