An Amusing Game,

If the Boston Transcript is not r
mancing the Bostonians have step
ped down from their high intellectual
level in their search for Lenten
amusement. One of their games is
thus described: A number of people
popped n quantity of corn, and then
engaged in a contest TO see who
could take the largest number of
popped kernels into his or her mouth
/ and when the maximum OF capacity
/ was reached, eat them all without TAX
ing out any of the kernels The kernels
were put INTO the mouth one at q
time, and duly counted by the Judge.
| at the game. Everybody was aston
! ished at the number of the puffy
white kernels that even the dantiest
mouth could take inf the dainty
mouth did its honest best. After
about fifty kernels had disap-
peared within one mouth, everybody
else began to laugh, and the con
testants difficulties were greatly in
creased by his hard work 10 keep his
face straight The person who won
the prize took 200 kernels ofpop-
corn at one mouthful He was not a
commercial traveller either. A charm
ing lady of the crowd, who has a
very small mouth, outwardly, took
in upward of 100 kernels.

A Woman,s ooon Mama

Many people who would recoil with
horror from cutting "a human crea-
lures throat, which really does not
hurt very much and only lasts n
moment, will murder woman's
good name without remorse or COM
junction; and that hurts worse than
death for lifetime. Ii is n meaner
crime than murder, writes Robert J.
Burdette in his department in the
April Ladies Home journal. We cry
out and rightly too, against the SEN
satlonal and depraving habit of
making heroes of robbers and cut
throats. 1t is hor ible thing TO do.
And yet l have less of hatred for the
late Jesse James than / have for
some people who have never been
convicted of a capital crime. but
whose tongues, we know, are worse
than any knife that ever severed a
human lugular.

ANOTHER SPRING POEM.

Winter is an OF gray duff.
Dressed and muffed in wooden stuff,
Settin' at the kitchen fire, cramped with tor
turin rOomatism.
He is lumberin' an stiff-jinted,
An his hopes is Disappointed
But young Spring is full of ginger, full er gig
gle, gush and gism.
Like a girl she's pert and pure,
But she's fond of furniture,
Fond er fiagree an finery and fuffs and fur
bellows;
An her dandlin, dancin' laces
Make a Joy in lonesome places,
An her smiles warm and tender-thet il
melts away the SHOWS.
Like pretty silver chain
Cross the bHzzum of the plain
Does she wind her gurglin' trout brook in its
bending links an fines;
An she takes the shiverin boulders
An she pins about their shoulders
Pooty stylish capPs er mosses, trimmed 18th
creepers an with vines.
An she makes a dark green dress
For the naked wilderness,
An she throws h green grass jackets roun'
the wretched, ragged hills
Jackets Jest ike stylish women's
With bright dandeion trimmin's
laylock bowkays in their bosoms, an with
pussy willow frills.
Then OF Winter, OF gray duff,
Dressed aud muffed in wooden stuff,
Grumpy, grOuty, gruff an grizzly, groans
through all the sunny hours;
Then the grass grows permiscus,
SprOutin' through his snOwdrift whiskers.
An Spring bures the OF dead man un' 'er-
meath a mound er flowers.

AN UNPOPULAR WAR.

In event Of war with Chile it Is not
likely that our Pacific coast would have
suffered. The Yorktown. the Bennington.
the Boston, the Chicago, the Newark. the
Yantic, the Concord and the Essex are
nearly all in waters south of the equator.
The Charleston, the Baltimore and the
San Francisco are on the California coast.
These vessels carry about 1900 men, 100
h!gh-power riaed guns. and they would be
able, undoubtedly, to keep the very small
navy OF Chile busy defending their own
shores. and prevent any Chilean ironclad,
armed with nigh-power guns, from bonn
harding any of our Pacific ports. The ten
or twelve ports of Chile could be block
AIDED, and war from the start on the part
OF Chile would be wholly defensive
Our difficulty would be found when we
came TO attack the enemy by land. Chile
Is a country that cannot be marched over.
Troops must be transported from point 10
point by water, and in q territory of great
extent a war OF this sort becomes a weari-
some, tedious contest. The war from the
start would have been unpopular. The
women were against il; petitions were in
circulation everywhere at the East. Eliza
beth Stuart Phelps wrote the Boston
Herald:
Those Of Us who have 'llved a war" remeu-

itself and the war would have been ex-
ceedingly unpopular, and weuld have

il TO premature and unnecessary under

HEsrTArrse DEMOCRACY.

hesisating Just where 20 attack the Mekin-
ley tariff. Congressman Springer finds
quite formidable Democratic opposition

friends at q time when the price Of woolen
goods IS now cheaper than when the wool
duty was lower. Brother Springer cant

congress to favor free pig iron
or free bftuminous coal, and
he finds the Louisiana Democrats solid
against the repeal Of the sugar bounty.
and q strong objection on the part Of many
Democrats 10 q proposal for free lumber.
The Democracy, before congress assem-
bed, threatened loudly TO repeal the
Mckinley act, bat they receded from that
determination and defeated Mills for
speaker, who stood for radical tariff reform
and repeal OF the Mckinley act Today
they are hesitating TO put themselves on
the record in behalf OF certain free raw
materials. The Massachusetts, delegation
says yes" but the Kentucky Democracy
say no."

Chile has been converted by events
from the false position two years ago
when she placed herself On record as re-
jecting arbitration in all cases where
national honor is involved. But for the
action Of Chile-and Chile alone-at the
Washington Conference there would now
be permanent tribunal TO which all the
issues nov pending with Chile could be
referred. Chile scorned arbitration in deal
ing with Peru, and repudiated il as gem
eral policy at the Washington Conference
The United States has for nearly ten
year, been urging treaty, providing for a
permanent arbitration of international
differences, on all the American republics.
This has been our settled policy, but it has
been thwarted by Chile, which now wants
arbitration for self-protection and of
course will get it.

HARRISON AND BLAINE.

In answer TO the objection that "Mr.
Blaine ought not 10 be candidate while
secretary of state under Presiden. Harri-
con" it is pointed out that in 1852 when
Mr.. Webster was secretary Of state under
President Fillmore both gentlemen were
candidates before the national Wing con-
yention at Baltimore, and had very stub
born contest. In the end, after a great
number of ballots. General Scott was NOM
mated. Mr.. Fillmore receiving many
more votes than Mr.. Webster was serf-
ously weakened in his contest by Mr..
Webster's candidacy. But Mr.. Webster
continued secretary OF state under Mr..
Fillmore. and, 50 far as the public knew,
with cordial relations, until his death, five
months afterward.
This precedent ought 10 silence any cues
ton OF the improperly Of member of the
cabinet running for the presidency. Mr.
BlaIne's retention Of the state department
Is purely personal question between him
and the president. to be settled by the
president or b. his own resignation, if he
finds himself embarrassed by remaining
secretary OF state. Between Webster and
Fillmore the situation caused no official
embarrassment, but between men of
totally different temperament from Web
ster and Fillmore the situation might de-
mand different solution.
II is purely personal question to be
settled between the president and his cabi-
net officer, or by the independent action Of
either party. The president could easily
make his secretary understand his per-
sonal feelings, and the secretary would
promptly resign If embarrassed by his can
didacy. There is no violation of official
propriety In the present attitude of Mr.
Blaine and President Harrison.

The double mortgage tar Is 50 unpopu-
lar in Michigan that the Detroit assessors
have refused TO apply the tax, for the pur-
pose Of bringing before the supreme court
the question OF its consritutionalisy. The
advocates Of this tax would not only tax
the mortgaged property on its full value,
but the evidence of debt as well. Such
double taxation is unjust and impoIitic
and industriaIly injurious to the business
growth OF a community. In Michigan
this double taxation has proved so injuri-
Gus that builders have found it difficult to
make loans, and the consequent stagna-
