SALT LAKE HERALD, MONDAY, MARCH Is. 1897.

lean women was not to have been ex-
pected from one haiiing from the land
of Don Quixote, in fact it is not what
any really chivalrous man from any
country would say. Here it is:
We all know what she is. an adj
ventures, forward, travelling about
alone with full liberty, protected more
by the fear Of the law than the re-
spect which she inspires. She is
Spendthrift, is SNOWY, daring, and
wears every kind of clothes because
she knows they all become her. She
has slender figure, small feet and
beautiful hair. Is she woman of the
home? I don't know. and, what is
more, I don't believe it. I have seen
her in California, in Paris-all over
Europe-always extravagaDt, spending
money that the husband. whom one
knows, earns, no one knows how or
where. While unmarried they are
protected mora by the law than by any
respect that men have for them. When
married. how do they conduct them
selves? Who can tell. Some believe
they are model wives. I do not believe
that they are of the worst But one is
not prepossessed in their favor
Much of the sting is taken out of
what is said by Senior de LONE when
it is stated that this book in which all
this is said was written 81 years ago,
when the author was but 81 years of
age. They are the iIl>considered words
of an immature and vain youth who
found he had some facility with the
pen. This resurrection of book that
in all likelihood was still-born is quite
apt to prove embarrassing to the
Spanish minister; that he will not
bring out a copyrighted edition de luxe
of it in this country is very certain,
though undoubtedly it would pay
financially to do so. 1t is hardly proba-
bic that this book will make him
persona non grata to the state de-
partment as suggested by one New
York paper it should.
Senior de LONE says of the book:
in my book there are many allu-
sions to other countries besides Amer
lea, which I have no doubt are very
distasteful from every standpoint, but
one must take into consideration that
L was but a boy, and on my first trip
through the world. Should 1 write
now my experiences would not make
me so ridiculous.
Another thing I will explain: At
the time of my first visit, the country
was rife with rumors of the whisky
ring, the California miners, the Indian
wars. This talk impressed me very I'M
favorably, and not having the judg-
ment which comes from wider expert
ence, 1 formed my opinion of the Amer
lean people from these desultory
glimpses I obtained from the passing
crowd
The state department will scarcely
take the matter up contenting itself
with letting his punishment be the
chagrin he will feel from this exposure
of his youthful folly.

SOME EDITORIAL COMMENTS

Philadelphia Record: President Nc
Inley starts well in his earnest EFFORTS
TO secure the speedy ratification OF the
Anglo American arbitration treaty.
There is no small party spirit about him,
and he takes up this treaty as heartily
as if it had originally been his own
administration. The treaty now belongs
to McKinley's policy; and in this fact
is an assurance of it's early ratification
in its integrity as 1t came from the hands
Boston Herald: The New York legis-
lator who signs the minority report on
the trust investigation, styling the sugar
from the district wherein the great
Brooklyn refineries are located. He looks
at the question from strictly local
standpoint. What he wants is the votes
of the sugar refinerS. That's all.
Denver Post: Lyman Gage was once
a Waterman in lumber yard. Then he
married a Colorado girl. Then he be-
came Chicago banker and then secre-
tary of the treasury. That is a good
record down to date. Now, Mr.. Gage,
study the money question.
Kansas City Star: 1t is true that
Benjamin Harrison is not pestered by
offtce-seekers but, on the other hand.
Mr.. Mckinley is not called up at all
hours of the night to make catnip tea.
New York Journal: Announcement is
made of q 10 per cent reduction in the
wages of the employees of the National
Tube works, at McKeesport. Pa This
is the second reduction these employees
have suffered since last year, when they
turned out and paraded for prosperity.
Philadelphia Times: The year before
the war it cost 81. 81 per capita to run the
United States government. In 1870. while
the interest charge on the war debt was
still heavy, the cost was s4.25 per capita.
This year it will be $716. And still we
wonder at hard times.
