ONE SPANI4RD AWAKE.

There is at least one man in Spain
who is getting his eyes open. He is the
Spanish correspondent of La Temps, a
Paris journal Writing from Madrid
he says: Peace is necessity. The
great fault Of the government has been
lack of courage. Knowing that Spain
was not ready for war it ought to have
accepted everything rather than enter
into a fight of which the issue was not
doubtful. War is ruin to US under the
present conditions. Our colonial en-
pire is lost. 1t would be puerile to have
any illusions. There are also in prepa-
ration dangers that are always possible
in our country. The government ought
to disband the colonial army The SOL
diers should receive their leave in Gu
ba. They could be embarked in
patches, disarmed and sent back to the
Peninsula, and the officers would re-
turn after the men had been sent to
their homes. People may not under
stand why we should abandon. our coll
onies without fighting, but statesmen
ought to look into the future. They
will commit crime against their
country If they allow the war to go
on. We must have peace, cost what
1t may. 1t will save us from ruin and
also save the monarchy 1t Is the only
means of driving off the dangers of
civil war or frightful demagogy.
If this man is allowed to live by his
fellow Spaniards who believe that
Buffalo Bill is attacking New York he
will be able to say II told you so" with
much impressiveness.

NEGRO M.AsONs.

The negro is making rapid progress
in these days, He Is recognized as a
good soldier, and two southern COVER
nors have appointed negro officers for
negro troops. And from the State of
Washington comes news of another
step-up for the negro. 1t is said that
the first grand Masonic lodge in this
country to recognize the authority of
negro lodges to confer Masonic degrees
is that of the State of Washington.
This action was taken at recent ses-
sion, on the report Of a committee ap-
pointed a year ago. Recognition is lin
tied to negro lodges which have obtain
ed their charters from the Grand Lodge
of England or from the Prince Hall
Lodge of Massachusetts, the latter hav-
ing obtained it's authority from English
Masons over century ago. AS ex-
planned by member of the committee
in Washington, the action taken enti-
ties freeborn negro Mason to visit a
white lodge in Washington, provided
no member of the lodge objects. In the
latter event "he is excluded, just as you
might exclude some one from your
home" adds the member of the COM
mittee. ''In fact if member of a
white lodge, desiring to visit a neigh
boring lodge, asks for permission, and
some one objects on the same ground,
he would be refused just the same as
the colored member. What we have
done is simply to carry out, in a broad
err and better sense, the wide principle
of Freemasonry We recognize the
Turk and the Chinese, and why leave
out the negro? Their lodges have the
same laws and the same ritual as ours,
and as one of the main principles upon
which Masonry is founded is the broth
erhood of man, and we recognize no
color line and no conditions of freeborn

There is a disposition to charge Ad-

Thursdays sad and inglorious perform
ance. This IL entirely natural When
navy Is conquered it's head man
usually suffers in reputation. There
may be little or no justice in this but
1t is the way Of the world There will
probably be a change In the Yale pro-
gramme next year, and it is to be
hoped that there will be change in
the luck. With some new men and
some new ideas there may be. One
thing should be made sure, and that is
that no "pull' should be recognized in
making up the crew except the pull
that makes a boat go. There are whis-
pers that Yale is becoming too much
like Harvard. If that is so there should
be an immediate and repentant change.

wHEAT'S "FARTHEsT NORTH

1t May Be Cultivated With Good Re-
suits in the Hudson Bay Regions.
The belief that habitable Canada
consists of narrow strip of territory
stretching along the border of the Unit
ed States, with no depth to the north,
is one that is little heard of nowadays
on this side of the line. 1t is still, how
ever, held by great many people
abroad, and we ourselves have but the
haziest ideas of our north country and
it's tremendous possibilities. Year by
year, however, with the return of ex-
plorers, we learn not merely of the Ell
Doradoes of the frozen north, but of
the far greater wealth of the fertile
soil on the northern slope of the con-
tinent The furthest north at which
wheat will ripen has not yet been
definitely ascertained but it has been
successfully established that the most
useful of all cereals will ripen a thou

would not seem overdone.
Ascots are worn by the tailor girl.
| The collar or stock portion is almost
always of white pique. The real tailor
girl Is more likely to wear the ascot

| mongrel tailor girl has gone in for
such fearful variety of ascot stocks.
| The strict tailor dresser does not be-

| loose. She wants the ends snugly tuck
ed into her waistcoat, and does not
permit herself to appear in shirt
waist without a jacket, though she
will upon very informal occasions fol-
| low her brother and omit the waist
coat This means that she regards
| the ascot as formal enough to demand
a waistcoat. One exquisite in these
matters declares that she would as

pin to hold UP the neck locks at the

effect is not bad. Strung pearls are
worn about the high stock collar of
