AS TO LEAP YEAR.

Leap year is ushered in with the
usual arguments in favor of woman's
right to propose. 'If Jeems thinks
kind of Belinda" says one authority,
"very good; he may mention the mat
ter. But if Belinda is enamored at
Jeems, her lips are sealed. Out upon
any such unreasonable sex discrimina-
tion as this!" This is violent nonsense.
The attitude of woman toward man in
society now is that of queen toward
a subject. The proposal, when right
ly analyzed, is not the command of a
ruler, but the plea of a suppliant. 1t
is the woman who has the final right of
choice. A man selects from among
his female acquaintances the woman
or women whom he will ask; the wo-
man selects from among her suitors
the man whom she will have. She
has all the power to pick and choose,
without the humiliation of rejection.
Ii Belinda is enamored of Jeems, neith-
er her lips nor her eyes are sealed. II
she is an American. and cannot make
Jeems understand the condition of her
heart, without striking him with the
sledge hammer of a formal offer OF
marriage, it would be better for her to
take her sentimental wares to another
market; Jeems is too stupid to be mar.
ried' Leap year is mere joke, but
any attempt to put the fancy into
serious practice would place limit
upon the supremacy of the sex.

A PLAN for an international silver
congress at Chicago during the Worlds
Fair in 1898 is now being perfected by
leading Democrats in Washington with
view to the ultimate settlement of
the silver question on permanent
basis and it's immediate retirement as a
political issue. This plan has been
under consideration by certain leaders
of the party for three or four weeks,
and efforts have been made to keep it
secret until its authors should be ready
to place it before the public. The
discussion has been confined altogether
to members of the Democratic party,
and the leaders of the free silver as
well as the anti-silver factions of the
party have been brought into consider
alton. Influential men on both sides
have given the plan their approval,
and it is now believed that q sufficient
number of pledges have been secured
to insure success. 1t Is therefore prob.
able that bill will soon be prepared
and introduced in the House embody-
ing the scheme, of which some details
still remain to be perfected.

The Chileans have taken new turn.
From beng mortal enemies of Ameri-
cans they wish to single us out for
especial honor as the only nation to
which they shall send an ambassador
or Minister. In debate on the sub
ject of reducing expenses the abolition
of all the Chilean Ministries to Europe
was advocated, but the relation of that
to the United States was urged. The
Chileans have for many years disliked
the United States, we think because
this country has been studiedly mis-
represented by foreigners doing busi-
ness in Chile, who have apprehended
disaster to their trade If this country
should get a foothold there. But the
false impression will soon be removed
if amicablc relations are resumed, for
it ought not to take the people of re-
public great while to learn that in
the long run their best friends must be
people who believe in their system of
government, and not those whose great
est delight would be to witness the
destruction of the republican form of
government wherever it exists.

The Behring sea negotiations are

Northern ocean will be clearly defined.
No real obstacles have recently inter-

Cling with poor success to distrub the
inertia of the British Government and
secure forward movement on its part
toward beginning the long-expected
arbitration. 1t is two months now
since the last definite proposals on the
subject were exchanged. Secretary
Blaine had so far yielded to Minister
Salisbury's request as to consent to
reference of the question under conten-
tion to tribunal composed of seven
persons. One of these arbitrators was
to represent Canada, one Great Britain
anu TWO tne OHlteu otdtts, tHc Ieiiiuiu-

progressed smoothly and uninterrupt-

tors there came hitch. Great Brit
ain could not be induced to submit any
names of persons acceptable to her and
has not up to this time. Unless Lord
Salisbury speedily gives attention to
the negotiations the prospects are
favorable to a renewal of the modus

the axis of the earth Is altering its

not stated, but Berlin is considerably

STAND by your friends in adversely.
Any chump can stand by them in pros
perity, it's no trick at all. When a
man has yielded to temptation too
strong for him, and remorse fastens on
him like a beast of prey and all the
world looks black, then is the time for
friendship to come forward like very
angel, take him by the hand and bid
HIM be of good cheer, for all is not
lost and the chances for redemption
are crowding all around him. A weak
friend is almost as bad as a false
friend. What q heaven we could
make of this world if we were stead
fast and unselfish in our friendships
and could rise above the cowardly and
ignoble work of kicking a man every
time he is down. The world is full of
human wrecks to-day because selfish
men have been traitors to heir friends.

SOUTH AFRICA is taking steps to
prohibit Chinese immigration. The
prejudice against Cinnamon is almost
worldwide. There may be a few
South American countries where they
are still admitted, but even these coun-
tries will soon be shut against them.
China herself treats strangers in an in
hospitable way. The gates Of her
cities are barred against them. The
few ports where citizens Of civilized
countries reside for purposes of trade
have their foreign quarters established
quito distinct from the native district
and the appearance Of stranger

The versatility of the grip is not the
least imposing feature of that malady.
An Indiana man who had it is now as
bald as a pool-ball. His mustache
dropped into his dinner plate one day,
when he was convalescing, and then
he moulted his eyebrows, and his hair
fell out. Now his own looking-glass
would not know him. Apparently the
only things the grip is incapable Of
doing for a man are to call doctor
and pay his bills.
