When Miss Nina Van Zandt finally gets
her young Italian husband it is to be hoped
that she will be content to retire from
public inspection to the shades of private
life By this time she should have had
enough Of sensationalism and notoriety and
be content to live in a more conventional
way. But if she has all along been made
merely the puppet of the craft of Spies
attorneys in order to try to create at the
time of his trial romantic interest in the
wretch that might possibly save his life
then her parents. who SO willingly subjected
their daughter to such public humiliation
simply because they had CHANGED to know
the anarchists mother in Germany, do not
deserve much consideration from the public.
Yet the fair Nina's story sounds just trife
improbable, TO say the least. Nevertheless
it worked upon the sympathies of Commits
sioner Bryan to the extent of inducing him
to give the damsel's newly selected husband
a commission to work for the worlds fair
in Italy when the twain 60 over on their
bridal excursion. It is to be hoped that the
emotional Nina's latest matrimonial partner
may not turn out mere adventurer instead
OF the brilliant journalist she thinks him.

Catholicism has such hold upon Mexico
that the inhabitants in some places are
fanatically intolerant of any sort of head
way of the Protestant churches. Yetltis not
only silly but the very worst of policy even
though the believers in Chris
tan faith SHOULD be actuated by no higher
motive than mere policy. There is too much
sympathy for fair play and justice running
all through human nature 10 sustain that
sort of imposition which denies to others the
unobtrusive liberties they would themselves
enjoy. 1t only lends interest to the object and
adds determination to the purpose of those
who favor the beliefs thus attempted to be
suppressed. When that inoffensive Metbo-
dist minister was knocked insensible with a
stone thrown from a fanatical Catholic
mob headed by several priests at Durango
it was not only brutal act but it was a
gross outrage upon civil and religious
liberty. which will bring to the cause of
those 50 ill-treated many recruits from the
more Intelligent classes. They are the
ones who usually condemn such I'M
provoked outrages. Quietly laying
the cornerstone for their church was not
an act that should reasonably have given
offense TO the Catholics nor any other creed,
and the language Of remonstrance that the
injured minister used was OF the mildest
character. But it is to be hoped that the
Catholic prelates Of high degree will not
sanction such outlawry.

Taxing our newspapers in Canada is
scarcely a square deal. Canada belongs to
Great Britain and Great Britain is in the
international postal union and should COM
pei her bumptious and crafty dependency
across the border to abide by the rules of the
union which permits all mail 60 be carried
through all countries in that union for the
postal charges of the country in which the
matter is mailed. There is no ground for
diplomatic negotiations there. 1t is a case
for applying the penalty provided for IN
fractions of the international union rules
and tampering with the mails Of another
power. That is the way it should be
treated. Canada could be very quickly
brought to terms by being entirely shut out
of the union until she learns the value Of
keeping contract.

The sub-Ireasury Plan in Kansas.

Inc Sub treasury Plan in Kansas.
According to our dispatches yesterday
all the farmers alliance lecturers
in Kansas, except one. have de-
olined to instruct alliancemen in the
principles Of the suo-treasury plan.
The ground of their refusal is that alliance
men are opposed to it almost unanimously.
A vote, it seems, is now being taken in the
sub alliances on the question Of the advis-
ability of dropping it from the alliance
platform.
Ii alliancemen of Kansas repudiate the
sub-treasury plan what chance has the plan
of being adopted by alliancemen of other
statesl Kansas is one of the strongest of the
alliance states. Alliancemen there have
severed their relations with the old parties,
and for a year or more have been acting in
dependently,
But the refusal of Kansas alliancemen to
accept the sub-treasurv plan is just what
might have been expected. 1t is not a plan
that appeals to reason. Thinking men are
not long in reaching the conclusion that it
would not afford the farmers the relief they
! desire and that it is impracticable. Those
who do not give it much consideration, but
accept what they are told about it, are apt
to be lead into believing that it has great
| deal of merit.
The democrats of Mississippi, in conven-
ton assembled, have just condemned it,
after it had been thoroughly discussed from
one end of the state to the other. and an
! alliance convention III Dallas, Tex, repudi-
ated it the other day.
1t seems rather remarkable under the cir
cumstances that leading alhancemen In this
state should continue to advocate it. They
will have to abandon it eventually, because
neither the Democratic nor the Republican
party will incorporate it in its platform
and no new party with platform contain
ing it would have any chance for Success.

The President and the Blacks

The President has lost his grip upon the
blacks of Indiana. and he is afraid that they
will prevent him from getting a delegation
from that state that will Unanimously favor
his denomination. A divided delegation
from his state would be very considerable
obstacle to his denomination. The blacks
favor Judge Gresham for President, and
they say that under no circumstances will
they give the President any support.
Ex-senator Bruce has been in Indianapo-
lis, as the agent of the President. to pacify
the blacks. He met with but indifferent
success. The blacks declared that they did
not want any advice from Bruce.
The reason the blacks are out with the
President is that he hasn't given them as
many offices as they think they are entitled
to. They have an enormous appetite for
Offices. If the President had turned over to
them all the offices in his gift they would
not have been satisfied.
1t is safe to say the President gave them
as many Offices as they ought to have had.
The offices may not have been the best in
his gift, but there was no reason why he
should have given them the best
The republican leaders are finding out
that they can no longer have the black vote
| by merely asking for it. The blacks are
beginning to understand that there are
quite number of states in which they hold
the balance of power, Indiana being one Of
them, and they propose to use their power
for all it is worth. They can hardly be
blamed for doing so. They are only acting
in accordance with the teachings of the
republican leaders. They want their share
of the spoils, and they intend 10 have it or
make trouble. The republicans are well
come TO the vote of their black allies
