An interesting account Of DIR. BTLIEN-

The ArmorPIsts Frauds.

The money loss sustained By the Govern
ment In consequence Of the armor-plsts
frauds has been made good. In part at least,
by the payment Of upward Of $4,000 by
the contractors. This IL all very well ss far
as IL goes. But the matter should not Be
allowed TO rest here.
Investigation should be carried far enough
to settle the question. beyond doubt or
peradventure. whether any Of the principal
contractors knew Of the fraudulent prac-
tees or had reason to believe they were
going ON. II they had any such knowledge
or belief they should never be allowed to
do another stroke Of work for the United
States. whatever may be their qualifica-
tions. position. or influence.
Then, again, the persons whose guilt is
already established should not escape pun
ishment. Their offences must be embraced
in the criminal law Of the State where the
frauds were committed and the Attorney
General OF the United States should be In
structed to see to IL that they are vigorous
ly prosecuted.
The crimes which appear to be involved
In this transaction must not go unpublished
simply because the contractors, as the
result OF a private investigation by the
President. have seen fit to pay to the Gov
eminent a sum Of money much smaller
than the Secretary OF the Navy thinks they
ought to have paid.

IL bound 10 come: but it is evident that
when it comes, marrying and giving in mar
riage will TO on as OF old.
Experience has shown that the wider and
the higher the development Of womnnhood
the more attractive It lie and the more pro-
vocative OF the love. admiration, and rever-
ence OF men. So far from the new occupa-
tons OF women, which bring them into
business contact and competition with men.
having the effect to discourage mstrimony,
the association is actually tending to
stimulate It. Feminine charms become
the more irresistible the more constantly
the masculine heart Is subjected to their
sweet tyranny. The introduction OF In
creaslng multitudes OF women into so
many self-supporting employments may
make greater the age at which the response
bllities OF marriage are assumed, because
OF the lessened need Of women for the ma
terlal support OF marriage: but the indica-
lions are that It will result eventually in
stimulating mntrimony. Many woman
now earns her own dover and proves her
ability to assist her husband in providing
for the maintenance OF a household.
The larger and now great prominence
OF the women OF fashion, so that many
of them have become conspicuous per-
sonages, known throughout the civilized
world. Is having the same tendency.
It multiplles their suitors; and prob
ably the case will be similar the more
associated with public affairs women be-
come by reason OF the grant OF the privi-
lege and the responsibility OF the suffrage
1t was argued not many years ago that they
would be unsexed by their larger liberty
and the broader and higher education and
development they are now receiving: but
experience has shown that instead Of un-
sexlng them and diminishing their fascina-
tions, the extension Of the sphere OF their
them more attractive.
Even divorce itself Is an indication that
is successful as an institution
rather than any proof that IL Is a failure.
The great mass Of divorces are obtained or
sought with the view Of getting freedom to
marry again. They are thus q symptom
OF desire for the happiness OF matri-
mony which has not been gratifed. Pro-
many more divorced women
than widows marry anew: the first seek
ing the satisfaction OF the impulses OF their
hearts. and the others cherishing with per-
tinacity the memory Of welded happiness
interrupted by death.
Thus the weddings OF this Easter season
are good sign. They show that the whole
some institution Of matrimony is not fall
ing into any decay; and they are also an
indication OF the promise OF better times In
the world OF business and industry. They
prove that the spirit of the people this
spring Is hopeful.

ment that the Constitution Of this State
can be changed only once in twenty years.
Who says so1 What authority have our
equal Suffrage friends for this statement
Il IL q mistake The Constitution Of New
York may be changed as often as the people
desire. and In as many particulars as they
may command. The organic law provides
two agencies for such changes: Fret, the
assent Of two successive Legislatures, rati-
fed by the voters at the polls; secondly. the
submission OF proposed changes TO Con-
stitutional Convention. which does not meet
oftener than once in twenty years. One
method Is as good as another. but Of the
two. the former Is the simpler. and the one
more generally popular.
The most important changes made in the
State Constitution within recent years were
adopted In 1874. without the Intervention Of
any Constitutional Convention. while the
Constitutional Convention OF 1867. though 1t
was long In session, and its deliberations
were conducted by some OF the ablest
statesmen and jurlsts Of both parties In the
State. was practically barren Of any result.
The chief changes In the Constitution pro-
posed by that Convention were afterward
rejected by the voters by q majority In ex-
cess OF 60.000.
An amendment TO Article VI. Of the Consti-
tuition was adopted In November. 1872 Two
amendments. relating to the appointment
instead Of the election Of Judges, were re-
jected In November. 1873 Eleven amend
ments were voted upon, all favorably. in
November, 1874. Two amendments to Arti-
Gle V. were adopted in November. 1875. An
amendment to Article VI. was voted on In
November, 1879, and another In November,
1880. Two amendments were adopted In
November. 1882. one in November, 1884. and
one in November. 1888. In November. 1892.
three amendments were voted on: one to
transfer contested election cases to the
courts. one to increase the number Of Police
Judges. and one to sell the States property
in salt springs. There has been no Consti-
tutional Convention In this State since 1867.
but twenty-five amendments have since
been voted upon by the people.
The proposition Of the equal suffrage adj
vocates to have tho word male" stricken |
from Article II. Of the Constitution by an
amendment to DO submitted to the voters
in November. should receive. Of course. the
respectful consideration OF the delegates to
the Albany Convention; but without re-
course to the Convention such an amend |
ment may be submitted to the voters at any |
time II two successive Legislatures agree.

he got the ear OF Mr.. CLEVELAND or Mr..
GRESHAM. Things have changed since
then. The Provisional Government has
lived and thriven in spite OF the efforts OF
Mr.. CLEVELAND and Mr. GRESHAM. 1t is
stronger than ever. and has nothing to APP
prehend from the guardian OF Miss CLEG-
HORN. whether he is In Honolulu or in
Washington.
At home in Hawaii Mr.. DAVIES is now
chiefly feared as the author OF frequent
and voluminous letters to the editors OF the
Honolulu newspapers which are sometimes
printed and sometimes put in the waste
basket He is a terror with his pen: but
the worst he can do is to weary the sup
porters OF the Provisional Government
Generally the sensation produced by his
rhetoric is that OF mild amusement.
Mr.. DAVIES must have been struck by the
changed aspect OF affairs in Washington
when he tried in vain all day Monday to
gain admission to the inner office OF the Sec
rotary OF State. Things have changed, in
deed, for Mr.. DAVIES and Miss CLEGHoRS
since their triumphal and almost royal re-
ception at the State Department and the
White House. less than twelve months ago.
