Love OF home and love of coun-
try may both be held to cheaply.
Let the Nation make its citizen
ship worth something and it will
be more priced.
That age OF consent seems to
have scared the taXas Legislature
out o. its memory. At least after
all the flourish OF trumpets that
was sounded the whole subject
seems to have died of innation.
That grounding seems to have
lost the weather gauge. His al
lOtted six weeks have passed some
days since, but the little fellow
sticks to his hole and the raw
weather sticks as well.
The silver men will come no
nearer corralling the national par

tiOns that count but head ideas.
The self respect and the sense Of
self justice is a more valuable pos
session for this country now and

Legislation at Austin is too much
of a game of see-saw between the
Governor and some Of the men,
bers to be a very exhilerating spec.
tacle. The state should receive
some consideration.
April lst is Bismarck's birthday,
April fool day and the day on
which the importation Of cattle in

There is no connection between
these three events.
The country that is good enough
for a foreigner to make his pile in
should be good enough to own his
allegiance.
Spain has very likely called Mr.
Gresham down, as that gentleman
is very careful not to let the cOun-
try know what Spain said in reply
to his hasty note demanding an
apology, for he knew not what.
1t is as hard to hold membership
in two rival political parties and
be loyal to both as to hold citizen
ship in two countries at one and

It Was A Beautiful Hat.

Chicago Tribune.
1t was beautiful hat, there was
no doubt about it. The man who sal
just back of her was in a towering
rage; he said there were twelve
yards Of lace on it, a dozen sand
hill cranes, two jet buckles, a bush
el OF roses and three pins. His wife
demurred to this.
"Oh, no, Henry" she said; "you
are prejudiced. | don't think the
birds are quite so large as sand,
hill cranes, and | very much doubt
IL there are more than ten yards Of
lace on it,"
well, Thomas concert isn't a
millinery show room anyhow
snarled her lord.
"LOok at her now. She makes
Mr.. Thomas look like the headless
horseman afoot."
ooh, don't; she might hear you.'
81 don't care il she does;" but
he lowered his voice. 81 hope her
husband made a jolly row when
the bill came in. Pm sure he did
if the price correspondent with it.''

wife, YEARLY.
"Hump! it ought. | believe III
speak to her; the music is too good
to"
ooh, Henry, don't; she looks SO
cross"
Pm not afraid" He leaned for
ward and made a motion to address
the lady, but when he met her eye
he fell back in his chair and be-
came absorbed in the orchestra,
The lady was evidently nervous,
She kept moving about in her
chair; sometimes she merely dis.
membered Mr.. Thomas to his
gaze; sometimes the whole orches-
ira was blotted out.
The man behind her enjoyed the
music internationally. Finally,
when the last musician went into
eclipse, he leaned forward.
Madam" he said in tones OF
courteous ferocity, zone ought not
to interfere with the enjoyment of
others. will you kindly remove
your hat" 1t Obscures my view en-
tirely."
The lady's face cleared. "With
pleasure, sir" she said. quite
agree with your remark. 81 did not
like to speak sooner, but one good
turn deserves another. Will you
kindly desist from beating time on
the back Of my chair?"
And the music went on as if
nothing had happened.

The requirement that compels
the registration Of a voters age "a
a condition precedent to the exer
else of the ballot, will not wash in
a court OF law. The state has a
right to inquire if the party pro,
posing to vote is Of the legal age
and can compel a declaration under
oath as to that fact, but beyond
that it has no right to inquire
How many more years than the
legal age does not count.

The revolution in Peru ends il

The revolution in Peru ends in
q compromise brought about by
the Intervention of the foreign dip
lomats and the clergy. How long
such a government can last is one
of the uncertainties, but it is not
in the nature Of things that COM
promises of that character will
abide, for they represent nothing
but the desire for peace at any
price. The situation in the city for
the three days precedent to the
compromise were days Of darkness
and danger and rapine and blood.

A man needs business methods
in his politics as in religion, if he
would make success OF it, but the
religion that is only business and
not conviction, and the politics
that is only business and not
patriotism, are not worth the
time spent in cussing them. Off
cial pap seeking and sucking is the
last resort on earth of the man
with an independent mind and a
just conception Of the duties of the
man who holds the office. The
country is weary Of the man on the
hunt for office.

An investigation into the man.
ncr in which girls are treated in
the Illinois Home for juvenile Of.
tenders reveals a most inhuman
state OF affairs. The investigating
committee met with Instructions
at every stage Of their investiga-
tions, but the leader OF that en-
quiry knew his duty and did not
shrink from it. Young girls were
chained on the floor, face down
ward, in such position that they
could not stir and other punish
ments inflicted that would be out
OF character in the prisons of old
maleiactOrs. Every attempt to
prevent witnesses from speaking
was made by the officers Of the in
stitution until they were turned
out of the rooms where the invest
cations were in progress. Illinois
makes more fuss over her prison
congress business and her prison
reform and charities that any other
state in the west, and this is the
result Of her work.

THE STATUS IN CUBA.

Reports OF uninterested witness
es in Cuba seem to be as conflict
ing as those from interested par
ties and the truth is difficult to
secure. The real truth appears to
be that this late American Con-
gress laid the foundation for the
trouble in restoring the duty on
Cuban sugar. This so weighed
upon the planters that they inter
posed with the Governor General
to present their case to Spain and
see what relief could be given.
Spain treated them as James Of
England treated remOnstrants and
they were informed that their
meetings were looked upon with
suspicion. This has Cstrangcd the
planters from active sympathy
with the government and given
opportunity to the restless hordes
who are always ripe for any
revolutionary preteXt. AS result
there are armed predatory bands
rowing all over the islands,
largely composed Of Negroes and
having for their object free
booty, but there is no organized
opposition to the government as
yet. What it may grow to, no one
can tell, for the planters are sullen
and refuse TO aid either side, al
though it is said that their
ympathies are with the revolu-
tionists. This is not at all
probable, az the planters have ev-
erything to lose and nothing to
gain by insecurity, and this con-
dition is rapidly growing. 1t is
plausibly said that the planters
are hoping for the patience Of the
Spaniards to be worn out in hunt
after an enemy that never remains
to fight, and that in time the Unit
ed States will ,interpose for their
aid This savors Of the wish that
is parent to the thought, and may
be putt down to the fervid imagi-
nation; of the reporter, who has
evolved this idea from the depth OF
his own Effectiveness. There is
class in this country who itch for
theIpossession of Cuba, but they
forget that it could only be held
by military force, for nothing but
a standing army could preserve
peace:and render life and property
secure in thatTcountry, inhabited
as it is'by mixed races and largely
composed of the servile classes.
Uncle Sam is not bidding for such
a possession on such terms. That
reports. from that country are col
ored to suit the filibuster idea in
theseEUnite States, seems almost
demonstrated by the logic of
events. All that this Government
has to do at present is to mind its
own business and let Cuba take
care Of itself.
