YvETTE'S PHONOGRAPH.
Graphic Accounts of American Adven-
lures Sent to Her Mother in Paris.

New York, Feb. 1O.-When Yvette Gull
bert sailed for home she knew more about
the United States than most foreign ar
lists find out in ten times as many trips
as she has made. Yvette has a devourins
desire to see and know things. In Chi
cago recently, although she was there
only a few days, she visited the stock
yards and packing houses. and what she
didn't see at those interesting institutions
were the things that were not going on
that day. That's all. In order to see
more of the United States Mile Guilbert
submitted to be hustled over several
thousand miles of territory, making one
cities. When she goes back to Paris she
will have made a sweeping circle through
this country, touching New York, Mon
treal, ST. Louis and New Orleans as the
extreme points.
There is one person who will regret this
ambition of Yvette's to observe large
mother. Mile. Guilbert'S devotion to her
mother is one of the most striking traits
of a character which is full of extremes.
She has for her mother devoted love

somewhat surprise Mr.. Moody, who critf-

home to her mother in Paris. The first
thing she did on her arrival this time was
to secure the use of one during her stay
in New York. Every morning, after her

PROHIBITION AND WOMAN SUI
FRAGE.

We have received the following from
Albany, N. Y, signed by Mrs. W. Win
slow Crannell:
The professional workers for woman
suffrage are trying to induce women to
join their ranks by the statement that
women would work for orofnibitory
liquor laws if they had the ballot. Let
us look at Colorado statistics: In 1892
out of presidential vote of 9SS4S, the
men cast 1858 votes for the Prohibition
candidate. The next year suffrage was
given to the women of that state. In
1896, out of 1S9, 141 votes cast for presi-
dent, only 1,7l7 were cast for the Pro-
hroition candidate So that, although
the presidential vote was more than
doubled. only 70 more votes were cast
for prohibition, when both men and
women voted. than We're cast by the
men only in 1892. 1t will be well for
women TO remember this.
Evidently it is intended that this cir
cular shall be circulated as an anti
suffrage argument. Instead of being
that. all persons who have given any
attention to the subject of prohibition
Will consider the vote of the women of
Colorado a wise one Whatever the
merits of the theory of prohibition, the
practice is quite different. AS a solu-
ton of the liquor problem it has not
been a success, nor has it approached
so near TO success as to commend it.
The vote of the women of Colorado is
evidence of their appreciation of this
fact. Mrs. Crannell apparently enter
tains the idea that the test of fitness of
women for the exercise of the right of
suffrage is acceptance of the theory of
prohibition. She has very erroneous
idea of what constitutes fitness for ex-
ercising the right of suffrage. Had a
majority of the women Of Colorado
voted for the prohibition candidate,
perhaps she never would have ceased
to sound their praises.

THE ART OF MAKING LOVE.

OF all the arts that of making love is
the one most practiced. Ovid wrote Of
it, and he is still an authority on the
subject. Not writer of any preten-
sion but has written of it. For prac-
tice widows are usually considered the
best subjects. Was there ever such
truly gallant and gentlemanly love-
making as that of Sir Roger to the
widow? For pure elegance Uncle
Toby's attentions TO Widow Wadman
is not to be compared with that of Sir
Rogers. though there was never
purer love than Uncle Toby's. Then
there was Mr.. Pickwicks adventures
with Mrs. Bardell. How he was en-
meshed through the goodness of his
heart,
But the latest famous case of love-
making is that of Ensign Stone. He and
his ally, Ensign Osborne, were charged
by a naval court of enquiry with hav-
ing obtained 'entrance into a home
stead under false pretenses, attempting
TO coax one Marie Condo, daughter of
Swits Condo, to leave her home for the
purpose of becoming the wife of one
George Loring Porter Stone"
The court found that Ensign Stone
had mot in any way behaved himself
in his love-making in a manner unbe-
coming an officer and a gentleman"
Certainly he did not. but it would still
be interesting to know in what love-
making, in a manner becoming an Of
ficer and a gentleman. consists. What
on earth is Filtration Walk for. if not
to perfect army officers in the gentle
art of love-making? Only this
year the authorities at West
Point academy gave orders that
the sentry should be taken from
the Walk. This was right and proper.
The court that sat on Ensign Stones
case is to be congratulated for the very
sensible and gallant decision it made.
His love-making, like all love-making,
was doubtless "a sight to dream of, not
to tell"

Judge Ross. sustaining the Caminetti
act in he North Bloomfield hydraulic
mining case. accents some of the more
important considerations which were
urged during the recent session of the
legislature against the passage of the
debris and dredging bills 1t was then
argued that these measures would come
into conflict with the undivided author
ity of the United States over the nav1-
gable waters OF the state. According
to Judge Ross, this authority is so alb
solute that the federal power may le-
gally intervene to prevent the passage
into the Sacramento and San Joaquin
rivers and their tributaries of even the
light flocculent matter which invari-
ably escapes even the best impounding
dams and makes its way down stream
presumably to the sea. 1T is he says,
within the power of a court of equity
to preventsby writ of Injunction the un-
lawful act Furthermore, the power
to absolutely prevent the use Of such
waters for the objectionable purposes
necessarily includes the power to pre-
scribe the terms and conditions upon
which they may be so used"
Here is a peculiar situation for the
state to face. There can be no dis
tinction in the eye of the Federal law
between the states impounding dams
and those erected by private enterprise.
Hence, If the government should see hit
to hold the state responsible for in
jury TO navigation due to the use of its
dams by hydraulic miners what could
the state do about it? And again, what
if the government should demand that
all such structures be removed on the
ground that they contribute to the in
jury of foreign and local commerce?
There might be no recourse. 1t is not
violent assumption that the state would
have to submit and all its expenditure
under last winters debris acts would
go for nothing. At best, the terms and
conditions" under which the state could
operate the properties it had paid for
must be prescribed by congress and
this. of itself, would provoke constant
embarrassment.
The fact of the matter is. when Cali
fornia passed the debris bill it DELHI
erately trespassed upon the jurisdic-
ton of the United States. 1t also did
that when it appropriated money for
dredging navigable streams. Both queS-
tons are national and not local, and it
would have been wiser from every point
of view for the friends of hydraulic
mining and better interior navigation
to concentrate upon congress and seek
relief through appropriations in the
river and harbor bill and in amend
ments to the debris law. Quite likely
that will have to be done yet as the
only means of escaping the dilemma
upon which Judge Ross decision has
now fixed the eye of the California tax
payer.
What will California do? is the next
question.

WHY NOT APPEAL TO RUSSIAN

instead OF sending commissions TO
France and England to beg for BIZ
metallisnl, or to China and Japan-why
not appeal TO Caesar the White
Czar2 does he not virtually dominate
China2 He has great influence with
Japan He looks upon Great Britain in
India, Egypt, etc. as an interloper.
The Russian bear has been licking
his chops over Constantinople many
years Deferred hope maketh the car,
as well as Others sick. Emperor Will
lam has studied bimetallism thorough
ly; TO what purpose? A continental
system" as against the arrogant SUI
premacy of John Bull? Would Francis
Joseph oppose or join a continental al
lance in bimetallism?
Is 1t not worth while to send a COM
mission over to see? It might be dis
quieting to John Bull to see American
bimetallists at the cars court, John
Bull knows that if Russia, Germany

to l, the gold basis" would suffer an
atrophy. 1t would give John the night
mare. Perhaps, then, he might be
ready TO form a triple alliance with
France and the United States, Why
not try this?
CLARK W. HARRINGTON,
Knob View, Crawford County, Mo.
Bimetallism VS.. bankruptcy, is the
alternative for all parties here.
1t is almost impossible to answer Mr.
Harringtons question without asking
another What is the use of sending
commissioners to any European coun-
try to ascertain whether it will join
this country in an attempt to establish
bimetallism? The relations between
the United States and Russia. have al
ways been very friendly, but Russia is
indoctrinated with the same financial
theories that England and Germany
are. For a long time she has been
boarding gold and it is generally sup
posed that much of the gold that was
withdrawn from the treasury during
1895 and 1896 for shipment to Europe
was destined for Russia. Even now
she has some $500 200, 900 in gold locked
uD.
The reasons urged why Russia might
listen to overtures by this government
in favor of silver are of a political
rather than a financial nature, and if
that country gave them favorable con-
sideration she might ask in return a
political alliance. The traditions of this
government make that absolutely i'm
possible.
1t is possible that the commissioners
sent abroad by President Mckinley
may go to st. Petersburg as well as to
Paris and London. With the oppor-
tunities for travel afforded them by
the government it would be folly for
the commissioners not to take adj
vantage of their mission to visit Rus
STA. These gentlemen may bring back
words of good cheer; all friends of sill
yer hope they will. but all friends of
silver do not believe they will.
If the American people really want
bimetallism, that is, the free coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 to l. the way
for them to get it is to adopt 1t through
congressional legislation. They must
be leaders and not followers if they
would have free silver.

1.-The mayor OF Paducah, who voted
for Palmer and Buckner, went into a.
silverite primary last week for a re-
nomination, and of course had his boots
beaten off him. Gold-standard votes
are wanted in elections, but not gold
standard candidates. 1t is curious how
slow office-seekers are TO recognize the
situation, but they always manage to
arrive at an understanding in time"
says the Louisville Courier-Journal. He
got exactly the treatment ne deserved.
He might just as well have gone into a.
Republican primary and asked for a
nomination. So far as the mayor of
Paducah was concerned he was per-
fectly willing to take a straight Demo-
cratic nomination and then go and vote
against a straight Democratic ticket.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE OF

President McKinley's war record is

office-seekers, and how to escape them

he proposes to treat them in detail. \
close friend of the president tells the
Washington correspondent of the Chi

should send in the full list of appoint
ments all at once, he would have the
whole army of ofice-seekers down upon
him.
There would be from u to 20 disap-
pointed candidates for every one who
is successful says this friend, land if
they all broke out at once they would
make a big demonstration" Therefore.
he thinks it is better to take a few at a
time. He will send in three or four
nominations this week, and those who
expect to be nominated next week will
assist in soothing the dissatisfied. Next
week he will send in a few more, and
those who are still hopeful will help
him quiet the grumblers. An office
seeker always clings to the last straw
This is wise decision. and if the
president only adheres to it he will fin
ally be victorious.
After all, what a pest the office-seeker
is. Not an administration comes in
but is almost Destered to death with
them. Civil service reform is not a per

selecting public servants, but it is a
great improvement over the spoils sys-
