We are informed by Congressman Ding

this proposition rather vaguely, though it

A REAL PEOPLES PAPER.

Readers of The Times who watch the in
10 day in the column known as THE PeU-
pies Forum" Will have marked the hearty
public appreciation it indicates Of a live,
active, independent and fearless journal,
dev oted TO the interests and good of the
people, and all of them The rapid growth
OF that sentiment during the past few
weeks is 9th flatterng TO The Times, and
ought to be conclusive to the editorial
profession generally, that the mass of
Washington citizenship is not only read
ing but a thinking constituency, very alert
to discern the difference between a news
paper policy dictated by principles of Justice
and equity, and recognizing the real ulti-
mate brotherhood of all the diverse ele-
ments of our complex population; and
contrary policy, based upon political sub
toadyism.
A real peoples paper always has field
and a mission in large and composite com
munities, loaded with the conflicting in
terests, ideas, convictions and ambitions
Of many classes, creeds and vocations.
I The average American common sense of
such community will not expect paper
of this description TO take up the cudgels
10 further the peculiar ideas or wishes OF
any particular segment of society at large,
and would resent it if such a course were
possible. A peoples paper like The Times
| is a sort of public governor; not Of the
| political kind, but more like that which
whirls around on the top of an engine,
setting the pace and keeping the peace of
the whole mechanism. The Times gov
ernor whirls twice a day, and we hope the
| city is the better for it.
While a peoples paper cannot be used
10 advance the special interests or pur-
poses of any given element, it can and Gees
serve to reduce the friction between all
! elements 1t can and does show the ex-
ample OF liberation and Of the speaking

Cleveland and the Cocktail.

1t is not generally known that President
Cleveland tried to persuade Gen. Howard
Carroll to accept office under his first
administration, but such is the fact. The
general was on hand with eX-President
Arthur to see that the Man of Destiny"
was comfortably settledin the White House.
Hewas plain Howard ollthen, and when
Arthur introduced him To Cleveland it was
in this way:
"Mr President, l have here a young
friend who can make the best cockt all in
the world. viii you try one?'
Cleveland was never known to decline
anything, and Carroll, slipping into the
buffers pantry, manufactured regular

DIR. DEPEw,s1DEA OF MARRIAGE

The everTollickng and fresh DR.. Chaun-
cey Depew communicates TO one of the
New York papers his idea OF marriage.
'.Io woman is thoroughly happy, he says,
''uutil she is married and experiences the
JOYS Of motherhood. The fact that she is
rich and cultured. that she Possesses su-
perior talent for art or literature. only in
tensifies her one-sidcdneSs. she may not
know and viii not admit that marriage
would complete her happiness and give her
broader views OF life, keeHer appreciation
OF truth and surround her with healthier
atmosphere But she cannot escape the
beautiful and beneficent purposes for which
God created her by remaining single, and
she can be as intellectual and cultured and
infinitely more charming TO those blessed
10y her influence and more useful to the
world by what she does for heI husband
and children"
We consider this especially good, since

Of intense interset in the character Of a

TO another: and she has married happily

idea Of marriage is all the more valuable
for this reason. And who shall deny that
be is right? There is little encouragement
for the New Woman in the opinion of this
philosopher and manof the world and why
should there be? God did create woman to
be married. she was to bc beautiful and
sweet and good she was to know the hap

was to complement man, as he was to

cussed, nothing woulc be clearer. What
ever the companies OF working women that
may be brought along TO give their views
the Capitol, it is only their employers, or
the combinations OF their employers, that
have their way. 1t is admitted that the
Mckinley tariff act added $3.50, 900 to
the income of Andrew Carnegie. Must he
not have been obliged to subscribe some
thing to the funds which elected q willing
Congress, and especially q subservient

And il is because the trusts and the

that the actual process is a downright pur
chase OF tariff legislation, that the people
who are not rich enough to have a repre-
sentative in the Ways and Means Commit
tee room, and who, possibly, could not
smuggle one in if they could afford such
luxury, are so thoroughly disguised with
tariff legislation in general Not only does
money talk, but it is the only thing that
talks. This is not entirely clear to ev-

every Member of Congress-; but it is a
fact none the less known to all the Re
publican campaign managers.
1t is impossible for a Republican Ways
