A hundred years ago IL was not an un-
usual thing for a distinguished man to
kiss the pretty girls of any town or coun-
try which received him with honor La
fayette kissed some girls on his tour
through this country, and there are a
great many old ladies who say that he
kissed them who possibly never got within
fifty feet of him. But times have changed.
Transportation facilities have been in
creased. Where Washington, or Lafay-
cite, or Andrew Jackson was welcomed
by hundred people thousands gather to
cheer for Lee Wheeler, Dewey, or Schley.
If young man of Hobson's proclivities ap-
pears in the next generation he may be
called upon to spend all his time for two or
three years kissing girls, or face the aw-
ful alternative of letting some of them
go unkissed. 1t is plain that at the pres
ent rate of progress a line must be drawn,
and that line was drawn some timesago,
according to the idea of sensible people.
No distinguished man is required to kiss
his admirers nowadays, even if they are
very desrous that he should do so. Even
candidate for Congress no longer feels
ii necessary to kiss a long line of babies
Ia secure his election. If Mr. Hobson
thinks that he is obliged TO kiss all these
girls who meet him al the railway station
he has made a mistake. that Is all. He
is not distinguished enough to make that
necessary, and if he Were a little more
distinguished he would know better than
to try it.
No; public opinion on this question, If
it ever defended wholesale kissing, has
materially changed. 1t makes the aver
age American man very weary to see a
youth, famous youth, with fair share
of good looks standing up and induIging
in business of promiscuous osculation
on railway platforms all across the con-
tinent. If he had kept still about the
whole affair and let people think what
they liked. it might have been forgiven
But ii appears that he had to rush into
print and defend himself. and incidentally
to chatter about the affairs of the Navy
Department. This Is a thing which he
has no business TO do When il was re-
ported that he had, from motives of
honor, refused to lecture about his Merri-
mae experience, the country liked him
better than it had ever done before. But
after doing this he turns squarely around
and crawls out of a loophole by retract-
ing his refusal and giving lecture. On
top of all this comes the kissing business,
and he presents the spectacle of an officer
of the United States Navy travelling
across the continent leaving d trail of
kisses in his wake, and defending the
spectacle by comparing himself TO General
Robert f. Lee. Lieutenant Hobson will
have to do something more brilliant than
he has ever done up TO this point IN his
career to make his personality acceptable
to the American people after this. The
general opinion will be that so far from
appreciating what monkey he is making
of himself by posing as patriotic put-a-

American has no use for that kind of a
hero.

Suffrage Restrictions.
(FFom the Minneapolis Tribune }


Sentiment in favor of placing some restriction
mon the suffrage everywhere by some test of At
ness is undoubtedly growing. The educational
and property tests introduced into the proposed
plan for the government of Hawaii meet with
no objection The Mississippi and South Caro-
lima tests are undoubtedly, in their manner OF
enforcement unfair to the negro; but 1t is dirti-
cult to see how the Federal Government can in
in tbe administration of the law by the election
officers There is punishment that can be
inflicted upon State DISTINGUISHING potion OF
its citizens This punishment is loss OF due
proportion of the States representation in Con-
eress and in the electoral college. This punish
ment ought TO be enforced in iagrant cases
but aside from that, we believe that public senti-
rection Of the policy of hands off the Federal Gov
ernnent in reference to the domestic ard local
affairs OF the Southern States.

\ representative of the Carlists now in
New York asserts that he has received
from the leaders of the movement infor-
nation that a decisive blow will soon be
struck. For revolutionist this repre-
sentative talks very freely, especially
when it is known that the Spanish gov
ernment has its agents everywhere and
that any information that is given to the
American newspapers might as well be
sent directly to Madrid. There seems TO
be no doubt that there is great dissatis-
faction among the masses of Spain over
the course Of the present government,
and once the banner of the Carlists is
raised many will gather round it. Then
the cruel scenes of the former rebellion
viii be enacted, such as no army except
that OF Spain or Turkey would create
the ruthless slaughter of noncombatants,
Including women and children.

Affected with the Same Disease.


The Mrs Marie Lupton. who lost her memory
in Manhattan, and who could tell neither her own
name nor her own residence, is a victim OF what
a doctor, who incidentally secures the publca-
tioR of his office address in the newspapers, de-
scribes as famnesa," or s'amnesic aphasia -
''Smple aphasia,'' it is said, seems to depend,
in most cases. on lesion of the inferior frontal
convolution, almost always the left side OF the
Draln. On the surface OF tne pain tne con-
system is contracted from sharp or other cause,
the loss of memory occurs, taking various
phases Alnnesic aphasia is aphasia with va
riations.
There is reason to believe that this is what is
the matter with the anti-expansionists. They
have so far forgotten the Constitution of these
country as not to realize that it carries in it
the attributes of sovereignty and the ability to
deal with territory other property according
to the will Of Congress-

A Warning Note.

(From the Evening Wisconsin.)
Some people will censure President Mckinley
for his acceptance and temporary display Of the
Confederate badge, because the nation waged four
years OF war TO destroy the influence of that en-
blem. The President is naturally anxious to
please the Southern people in this Of good
will, but there is a limit at which he must stop,
for the reason that there is right and a wrong
in this question, and as the North is thoroughly
permeated with the conviction that it was right
it is a false presumption TO suppose that the
South was not wrong.

1t Is not necessary to discuss whether this is a
modern disease or only an old disease newly
recognized and accounted for Epidemic in

the microscope may have added to our knowledge
of it's pathology, it has not added very much as
yet to our facilities for combating it. These are

much better than they were generation ago,

THE. PEACE rERMs.

Our government has done well to
press its warlike movements while
discussing peace terms with Spain.
This is no time for weak wavering.
Spain must not harbor the delusion
that the United States is anxious for
peace, or be led into the false belief
that to gain peace this country stands
ready 10 forego the just fruits of
victory, says the Spokesman-Re-
view.
If Spain will accept the terms now
offered, she may reclaim the Philip.
pines, which constitute the greater
part of her menaced colonies. In
population they outnumber Cuba
and Puerto Rico many times over,
and in many ways they are of greater
value to the Spanish nation. By
yielding Cuba and Puerto Rico, and
Withdrawing her armies from those
islands, Spain may be able to put
down the Aguinaldo insurrection
and re-establish her shattered SOW
ereignty.
Indeed, there is reason to believe
that in accepting the terms offered
by this country, Spain will lose
nothing which she would not soon
have lost even if she had not gone
to war with the United States. In
attempting to hold all her rebellious
colonies, Spain would have
put all in jeopardy. Apart from the
war with America, she had come to
that point where wise craftsmanship
would have dictated that a part be
yielded to make more secure the
grasp on the remainder.
Perhaps all this is understood as
well in Madrid as in Washington,
but as a salYe to wounded Spanish
honor, the ministry considers it es
sential that the Spanish government
should have the appearance Of being
a potential party 10 the peace nego-
tiations. Its obvious purpose is to
make it seem that the United States
is accepting its proposals rather than
have the masses of the Spanish peo-
pie understand that the United |
States is debating the settlement.
Herhaps when all the facts come out
it will be found that the difference
between our terms and the Spanish
counter-proposal is of minor import
ance.

average American that we have not

They have "hollored" too soon, and

woul cease and the war be resumed

would be enough for any Don on
