MARAGUA's SUCCESSOR.

Washington, March 26.-There is no
doubt that the state department will
Immediately inform the Spanish govern
ment that there is no objection to Senor
Dupuy de LONE as the successor of Senor
Maragua. 1t is not always necessary for
a foreign country to inquire as to the
acceptability of a person appointed as
minister TO this country, although there
is generally an informal inquiry as to
whether there is any objection as to his
selection. Probably in the case of the
new Spanish minister the proceedings will
be more formal and the acceptability OF
the new minister assured, owing to the
recent peculiar turn in diplomatic rela,
tions between Spain and the United
States.

SOMETHING UNIQUE.

Kansas City is enjoying the novelty of a
millionaire evangelist. This evangelist seems
to be very practical man. He had success i'll
saving dollars; HOW he is using his dollars to
save souls, and he is saving bodies, too One
of his specialties is rescuing fallen women.
FALLEN women? Why don't he tackle fallen
men? He will find ten fallen men to every one
fallen woman. No, this distinction won't do.
The man is more fallen than the woman. The
man falls before the woman does Jesus said:
"Whosocver looketll OH 4 woman to lust after
her hath committed adultery" He is the fallen
one Women do not sin through lust. 1t is
love or poverty, and under the Christ interpret
alton ii is not sin. With women the evil is
not i'll the iealt, for lust is not there. 1t is
either love or necessity that brings her under
social ostracism. Away with doube-standard
morality double-staudatd social rule.
This iishiug one OFT at a time is good as far
as ii goes, but is not the proper thing. II will
be much better to take away the need for their
falling for one thing and the name of their fall
ing for another. Poverty is the first, and
wrong construction of morality is the second.
Jesus said: "I,ct him that is without sin cast
the first stone" No one stoned They were
all in the same boat
But millionaire evangelist is something
very unique, indeed a special car is quite
different from going afoot, and downy couch
from ono where to lay His head" But it is
not having riches, you know, that is the sin, or
the getting them that is the crime. 1t is lav-
ing the heart set on them that is bad, and the
getting them by robbing labor that is evil
When man makes million dollars by his
own industry, by the work of his own hands
there is nothing wrong i'll his being million
aire, You know. 1t is easy to earn a million
dollars. Working at, say five dollars day, it
would only take COS years, 800 days to the year,
to do it. Mathuseah could have easily done
it. But we don't read that he did But if
man gets million dollars and gets most of it
from men who make only dollar and fifty
cents day, and from women who earn so cents
to dollar day, it amt quite the square thing,
do you tlink?-Hunanity, Kansas City.

CALLS LAUGHLIN DOWN.

CHICAGO, Nov. o.-The following open let
ter to Prof. Laughlin, of the University Of Chi
cago, from Henry d. Lloyd, will appear in to-
morrow's Chicago papers, and is sent by re-
quest;
Chicago, Nov. 9. 1905.
TO Prof. Laughin, University of Chicago ::
You are reported in the press to have said at
public meeting November S, in Kent hall,
University of Chicago, to the students and 9TH
ers present, that whatever might be charged
against one of the founders of the oil monopoly,
no one had said that he accumulated his mil.
lions in any way that interfered accumulation
of others. In 1895, the supreme court Of Ohio
found, as reported in volume 43 Of the Ohio
state report that the monopoly had freight
contract with the Lake Shore railroad ito keep
the price down for the favored customers and
up for all others,' and the court said, "The in
evitabe tendency and effect OF this contract
was to enable this company to ruin all other op-
orators and drive them out of business, and the
court annuled the contract as unlawful With
the help of such unlawful contracts the capital
of the oil monopoly has increased in thirty
years from nothing to hundreds of millions of
dollars.
If this were not public matter, you would
not have discussed it at public meeting. Al
low me, therefore, to ask question to you, as
the head of one of the most important depart
ments of political economy in the country, if
this manner of accumulating millions by the
help of unlawful contracts to ruin all other op-
orators is not an interference with the accumu-
lation of others, what is the scientific name for
it and for the kind of political economy which
commends itself for imitation to the young
men and women Of the country --r,.o.,-.

Now THAT the election is over, look out for

they issued them before election, it would have
a tendency to Increase the Populist vote
