AS to the New Woman.

When 1t comes to q question Of down
right chivalry we stand ever ready to
pln our faith to Major Moses p. Handy.
"Who Is the New Woman?' he asks
In the Chicago Times-Herald, and then
proceeds sapiently and saccharinely TO
answer his own interrogation. 1.-THE
New Woman" he declares, "is a fig
ment OF the imagination made Of fads,
foibles crotchets, aspiration and ten
dencies, real or unreal all thrown to-
gether in a Kaleidoscope and present
ing o. new combination of form and
color at every turn of the instrument.
"The real new woman as revealed in
the maiden and matron Of the day will
be SO much like the woman that we
have known and honored all our lives
the woman glorified in tradition, in his
tory, in poetry and in the fine arts, and
idolized in every home worthy Of the
name--that the average man will never
know that she Is not the same. The
sweetheart will be as much In fashion
a century hence as she is today, and
with the witchery of her femininity
she will then, as now, first bring man
to his knees and then rejoice to go hand
in, hand with him through life. The
wife will continue to be the wife, loving
and beloved, cherished and cherishing,

Joseph Benson Foraker.

In the Washington Post, of which he
is editor, Hon. Beriah Wilkins, for
merly a Democratic congressman
from Ohio, pays an uncommonly fine
tribute TO Joseph Benson Foraker,
whom 1t Is the fashion in some quarters
to abuse. The tribute is all the more
notable by reason of the fact that Mr.
wilkins and Mr.. Foraker are not per-
sonally ON the best of terms. Says the
Post editor:
1t Is not difficult to understand For
aker's triumph in the Republican state
convention of Ohio. Joseph j. Foraker is
a man who presents many and powerful
attractions to the popular imagination
lie Is the type of wholesome, hearty, head
long, and sincere Amercanism. He is pos
itive, enthusiastic, impulsive, fearless. He
Is neither prudent nor particularly pol
ished. He is not a diplomat or philos-
opher or n scholar. He would not make q
perfect magistrate. He would hardly
wear with grace the fallen mantle of Met
ternich, or Machiavelll. He knows not
how to pose as an image of owlish wis
dom. He talks, and there he sometimes Is
at fault; for he speaks from a hot heart
and measures not his words. People have
sometimes. though not often, laughed at
him. There are those who say he is un-
dignified a demagogue and q charlatan.
But nobody who knows the man doubts
that he is honest, loyal and genuine, and
the merest looker-on can see that he is
steadfast, brave and true. He is not q
carping Mugwump, not faint-hearted
trimmer, not a hypocrlte. or sneak. He is
what the American people love-a stall
wart partisan, faithful to his friends and
to his enemies alike. rude in conflict and
magnanimous in victory, dashing, lmpul-

Governor rlcKinley's Speech.


The complete text which we else
where publish Of Governor McKinley's
recent Hartford speech deserves to be
read carefully from the first word to
the last. The governor, in this in
stance, does not deem it necessary to go
into an elaborate presentation of sta
tistics proving the correctness OF the
Republican doctrine of protection
neither does he make the mistake of
defending particular schedules rather
than broad and vital principles. The
speech, on the contrary, is a frank,
straightforward and convincing re-
assertion of the cardinal doctrine of
Republcanism in fearless, clean-cut
words. "Glve u.s." says the Ohioan,
"a tariff for revenue which while pro-
ducing revenue will not destroy Ameri-
can industries nor beat down the level
of American wages; but do not, under
the false guise of tariff reform, give us
a tariff whose only visible results are
deficits and disaster"
Major Mckinley has such faith in
the wholesomeness of a protective
tariff that he believes its re-enactment
will render easy the proper solution Of
the currency problem. "Glve us more
business" he declares, land we will
soon have more money" There can be
no denial Of the fact that Democracy's
reversal of the balance of trade, with
its opportunities for international trad
ing in gold, has been one of the prime
causes of the recent depression. Nor
is 1t likely that the disgraceful spectacle
of Mr.. Cleveland's recent bond deal
would ever have been witnessed under
a protective tariff by whose operation
gold was made to flow into instead of
out of the country. The policy Of
Major Mckinley Is to do both our man
ufacturing and our borrowing in this
country, and to do In other countries
only such things as shall rebound to
our own profit and credit, and a mighty
good policy it is, too.
We have never taken any stock in
the idea that the United States with
proper legislation would not be rich
enough to do its own money-lendlng
as we'll as its own borrowing. A natural
corollary to this proposition is that the
United States, as the greatest producer
OF silver in the world, should utilize in
Its currency not only all the gold that
1t can get hold of legitimately, but
also all Its own silver, so protected by
legislation as to keep the two metals
at parity when coined. In this way
will our wealth be expanded and our
industries built up to the highest limit
OF possible efficiency, without the need
of borrowing gold from foreign gold
lenders, and paying golden interest for
the unnatural privilege.
The twin tenets of vlrile Republican
ism are protection and blmetallism.
They mean victory at the polls, and
prosperity among the people.

The Superior Court Assured.

The passage by the legislature of the
Superior Court bill, with the number of
judges increased to seven, one of whom
must be Democrat, insures needed re-
lief to the Supreme court and a more
equitable hearing of all cases on ap-
peal. By this latter phrase it is not
meant to reflect upon the Supreme
courts present work, which has been
conscientious to noteworthy degree;
but it has been work performed under
growing pressure, with the removal
of which will naturally come more
satisfactory results.
Much of the efficiency of the new
court will depend upon the kind of men
selected to occupy its bench. The
choosing of these servants will be
among the most delicate and difficult
tasks which Governor Hastings will be
called upon to perform. 1t will be
proper not only to distribute the ap-
pointees with geographical fairness, to
the end that the commemorative
varied interests may each be repre-
sented; but also to select men who will
combine knowledge of the law with
knowledge ofhuman nature and Of pub
lie affairs. 1t is probable that the ma
jor portion of the new courts docket
will comprise cases involving rather
knowledge Of affairs than profound
erudition as to abstract law.
1t is upon this practical and eminent
ly sensible basis that the candidacy of
z. N. Willard of this city rests. His
name has been considered with favor
by large majority of the members of
the bar in Northeastern Pennsylvania
because it is believed that his business
sagacity and thorough command of the
technicalities of mining litigation
would add material strength to
court likely to have an abundance of
theoretical lawyers upon its bench.
The appointment of Mr.. Willard would
not only confer a deserved honor in the
right place. but 1t would fulfill one of
the important requirements of the new
court by elevating to the judgeship
pre-emlnently practical and expert
enced student both of books and of
men,,

sive, enthusiastic, imprudent even reck-
less. But men know where to find him.
They believe what he says; they feel that
he Is faithful friend and that he Is dire
full foe; they recognize in him tho candor
of his virtues and his faults. The people
are weary of prophets, preachers, oracles
and superhuman persons generally. They
want n man-some one they can under
stand and count upon-some one not TOO
much above them-some one with blood in
flls veins and fire In his thoughts and with
whom they can sympathize and whom
they can love or hate upon comparatively
equal terms. And that is Foraker from
top to toe-a typical American.
Mr.. wilkins regards it as easily prob
able that the name of Major Mckinley
may be withdrawn at the next Repub-
lican national convention as Ohio's
presidential candidate and the name of
Mr.. Foraker substituted. This, how
ever, is an extreme suppositlon, as yet
unwarranted. There need be no clash
between Mckinley and Foraker. The
reputation of the one is already made
and recognized the world over; that Of
the other will have to be established in
halls of legislation before he will be re-
garded by the country as measuring
up to the stature of an acceptable
president, He can do better service in
the ranks militant, where his qualities
as fighter have full play, than as a
competitor against Mckinley for an
office requiring dignity, widespread ex-
perience in public affairs, and certain
aptitude for diplomacy.

Whatever may be our future tariff
legislation, it will be founded and built
upon the protective principle. No man
can tell what the schedules or rates
may be, for these will depend upon con-
ditions existing at the time. But this is
certain, that whatever the great prlnci-
pie of protection of American interests
and American labor indicates as essen
tial to good wages, increased produc-
tion, and general prosperity. these will
be the rates that are bound to prevail
Schedules may be altered and rates
changed to meet new conditions, but
the principle of protection cannot be
changed. 1t Is unalterable. ."-McKin-

 HARTFORD, July 3-The state capitol was aslively place this morning. and several conferences were held between the leaders of the factions that have been holding forth at this institution for the past six months. It was finally decided that ad- journment to day would be an impossibili- ty, and for next ssweek. The members of the house made rig kick against this ruling. and vowed they would adjourn to-day at all hazards. At caucus of New Haven county members a tax of one-tenth of one mill was laid on towns in New Haven county for the ensuing year; $l00, 900 was appropriated for an addition to the jail, for repairing the county home and for an eievator in the county building.
