Mrs. Cyrus W. Field, jr, of New York, Is
working the newspapers of that city
with all the skill of the shrewdest actress.
Mr. Field having lost his money. Mrs.
Field announced that she was going into
the millinery business in order to help her
husband retrieve his fortunes. Other
women, hosts of them, have gone into the
same business for the same purpose be-
fore, but no member of the New York
Four Hundred had ever done So and the
matter therefore, became an important
event. If the other women wanted to get
their plans mentioned in the papers they
could do so at so much per line, but Mrs.
Field got all the space she wanted without
costing her a cent. Although reduced al
most to beggary according to her own &C.
count, she went over to Europe during the
sumner to rest and buy her goods 1t has
often been noticed that wealthy people re-
duced to beggary are pretty sure to have
enough loose change in their pockets to en-
able them to take European trips. Before
she went she was visited by reporters who
asked her plans concerning business. and
being evidently a shrewd woman who
recognized an opportunity when she saw it,
she very kindly outlined those plans and
filled in with many details, making alto
gether a most readable advertisement
When she returned from abroad she was
interviewed again, and again she gracious
ly gave all the information her possible
patrons and customers could desire. She is
now established in business, and If the
papers continue to find her an object of in
terest, and to beseech her as a favor to
talk about her shop through their columns,
and free of cost, the fortune young Cyrus
lost will soon be flowing back into her cof-
fers-that is. If advertising is the road to
wealth, and it certainly is.

Alexander Russell Webb, who has come
to spread the light of Islam in America,
says it is mistake to suppose he is here
to convert Christians to Islamism. He
merely wishes to call attention to the mer
its Of faith out Of which is evolved So
cial system and moral condition higher
than ours. When Christians learn Of the
honesty, sobriety and morality illustrated
in the everyday life Of the Mussulman, Mr..
Webb believes they will profit by the ex-
ample. He webb is not engaged In
PROSECUTING, but is merely carrying on a
school Of morality. Some Christians will
think this very presumptuous and even sac
religious, but they must remember that
they are sending missionaries to Islam to
propagate their own faith, and they must
concede the same privilege to the followers
Of even false prophets. For if Moham-
medan believes that his is the only true re-
ligion, must he not, even as Christians do,
undertake to carry the truth to the be-
nighted ones of earth?

REPEAL OF THE ELECTION LAWS.

The House Of Representatives yesterday,
by strict party vote, passed the Tucker
bill repeating all laws and parts Of laws
providing for national supervision of ma
tional elections. BY this measure the pop
ular branch of Congress has declared that
the general government has no right to
regulate or supervise elections for its own
officers, and that the several States are
supreme IN all matters relating thereto.
1t says, in effect, that no matter how in
equitable the State laws regarding the
election Of United States officers may be,
and no matter how unfair their admins
tration may be. and no matter how fraud
ulent, dishonest and corrupt the elections
held under them may be- the general gov
eminent cannot interfere. 1t will be seen,
therefore, that the Tucker bill involves a
principle OF great Importance and strikes
at the government in a very vital place.
The laws which the Democrats in the
passed in the interest Of honest elections
The claim that they interfered with the
rights Of the States or with the freedom
OF elections is utter nonsense. They have
never been invoked except in the interest
of fair elections, and in all the years they
have been in force they have never kept
one legal voter from voting. Unfortunately,
there Is every reason to believe that they
have not been effective in securing fair
elections I'm the South. but they have been
of some benefit in some parts Of the North.
and especially IN keeping down Democratic
frauds in New York city. Whether effect
Instead of being repealed they should have
been strengthened. The general govern
ment should never cease to assert its
right to supervise all elections In which
its OWL officers are chosen. This Is q right
necessary to its self-preservation. The re-
peal OF the election laws is an attempt to
deprive the general government of the
power to defend itself against deadly
blows In its most vital part The Repub-
ucans In the Senate should fight this in
famous measure as long as they have an
inch OF ground to stand on and II 1t passes
the Republican party should renew the
fight before The people In favor Of fair
and honest elections
