give an exhibition of his ability 10 cook.
No candidate will be enlisted unless the

How Spain Regards Women.

Here are three Spanish proverbs that bespeak
the need OF the Spanards moral reconstruction.
They all reflect on women, and the nation that
doesn't respect lovely woman is in pretty bad
fix: 'Three daughters and mother, four devils
for the father; "a house full of daughters is
like house with cellar full of sour beer; ''If
were as little as she is good pea pod
would make her gown and heod.' Aren't
these cheerful hits at the fair sex, from the
dons point of view?

twentieth Century Evolution

The nineteenth century has witnessed
many notable things in the evolution
+ of civilization and mankind. 1t has
/ seen absolutism crushed by the first
! Napoleon in its infancy. the rise of
! popular institutions under constitu-
/ tional government in its middle dec
/ AIDES, and a reaction toward absolut
/ ism and oppression of the masses in
! its old age. One of the strangest of its
phenomena, and one which may sug
gest a singular evolution for the sue
ceeding century, is presented in recent
political manifestations in Italy.
Not to make a long story OF it, while
countries like Germany and Austria,
for some time nominaliy at least under
liberal parliamentary government.
eyince a disposition to return to au-
tocratic dynastic power. the most con-
servative political force heretofore in
Europe is showing a tendency TO adopt
democracy as the standard of political
civilization.
Intelligent people generally are aware
of the strained relations which have
subsisted between the Pope of Rome
and the Italian monarchy, ever since
the day when Victor Emanuel took
possession of the Quirinal palace, and
made the Eternal City the capital of
United Italy. Than the states of the
Church, which had been protected by
French bayonets, on the outbreak Of
the France-PruSsian. war, were lost to
the Papacy. and the temporal power
was taken from it. During all the
years which have elapsed since that
event the. PQpes have lived a life of
persistent protest. always considering
themselves as prisoners in the Vati-
can: and all attempts at acconlmoda-
ton between the Church and the 1tal-
ian state have been futile.
|. Both sides have assumed the position
of mon possamus. Neither could con-
sistently recede from its stand The
Pope could not concede anything but
restoration of his territorial sovereign
ty. always held by the Roman Catholic
church to be necessary to the independ-
cnoa of its supreme head. The King
could not admit of an independent and
possibly hostile State, within Italy.
So the battle has waged between ma
tional and clerical influences to the
present day
Ii may be remarked, in passing, that
the political and economic conditions in
Italy are not now what they We're when

failed to work in the place OF his resi-
denCe, and his old neighbors ana ad-
herents who weie compelled to vote for
Mckinley or lose their employment are
disappointed.
The mill operatives in Lewiston, III
common with those in New Bedford,
Fall River and throughout the East
have had their wages cut down from
10 to % per cent. Naturally, they do
not like it. Under the old scale they
were plutocrats to a certain extent.
The average OF their princely incomes
is stated at So week. This was pret-
ty fair. as the basis of Mckinley pros
perity and peace reigned. We Will not
say plenty, or that any of the workers
grew rick: but still they thought of
better times as Mr.. Dingiey grew older.
and that half loaf was better than
no bread
Taking the situation in New Bed
ford. where 1900 operatives went out
on Monday, as central and illustrative,
it may be said that for the past three
years the mills have paid dividends OF
from to Is per cent per annum on
their capital stock. Two only fell be-
low the minimum stated. In a general
way it may be said that the mills at
other New England points have been
doing about as we'll.
But the Dingley shoe pinches, and
the advancing prosperity to the McKin-
ley workingman has not come to the
front Instead of that, he has been
compelled to realize that the conditions
imposed by the gold and trust devil his
vote has helped TO raise mean slavery
and starvation; and all over the region
so neatly and trustfully represented by
Mr.. Dingley, he is revolving.
We are intensely sorry for the work
ingmen of New England. We are par
ticulariy sorry that they did not make
their fight in 1896 when their votes and
the votes of other coerced laborers
might have changed the result. and
given them and the whole country
prosperity. But they sowed the wind
when they accepted Hannaism, as an
alternative to loss of employment. and
they are reaping the whirlwind.
VIII they have any better sense next
