POPPING THE QUESTION.

The Chicago Times-Herald is justly
DevereuX Blake, one Of the advanced
women" who combines originality OF
thought with independence of action. Our
contemporary thinks Mrs. Blake is justi-
fed in holding the members OF her sex
to be the equals Of men, but is intimidated
by her latest proposition-to wit, that
when a woman finds a man for whom
she thinks She would make a good wife
she should have the privilege of proposing
marriage to him.
The Tmes-Ilerald critcises the sug-
gestion In an able and analytical way,
which Will at least appeal to "old settled
men" ana others who cannot avail them
selves of the proposed innovation. First
II hints that Mrs Blake does not qualify
her suggestion by any limitations as to
existing wives-a trivial dotaf which she
has evidently overlooked. And then. too
the feelings of tho man proposed to do
not appear 10 have been considered. The
scheme offers no escape for him, save in
flight, for. to use the words OF our con-
temporary, mo gentleman would fatty
decline TO marry a woman who had can
didly informed him that they were
kindred souls"
Worst of all. love does not appear 10
in any way enter this scheme, and fitness
is the only desideratum. The woman
is to be the sole judge even of that. All
that is left for the man lis to put on his
dress suit and buy the railroad tickets"
Our western contemporary. IN horror
at the proposition concludes its appeal
for mercy by declaring that the scheme
is as yet too crude; that in its present
state mans only recourse Is TO climb over
the fence and run when he sees a woman
coming down the pike.

INNOCENT PORTO RICANs,

what an innocent lot are our Porto
Rican wards or subjects or what nots.
With the impotence of children they are
demanding that something be done 10
define their status, and in their impa-
thence are exhibiting an ignorance which
is altogether refreshing.
Their commissioners recently arrived
in the United States insist that the island
be given liberty, either as an Independent
State or as an integral part of the Dhlted
StateS-or. that at the very least the
people be consulted as 90 the disposition
of the island and back this insistenre
by an appeal to the Declaration or lhue-
pendence. the Constitution, and various
and sundry utterances of departed Amer
lean statesmen. But these innocents seem
TO be utterly Obvious TO the fact that
the new school of statesmen have reen
engaged in abrogating the Declaration OF
Independenco. knocking the Constitution
into cooked hat. and picturing tho IA
theirs of the republic as an unsophisu-
Gated assortment of fossils.
In appealing to the Declaration the
commissioners Dcmind US that it asserts
that governments derive their just
powers from the consent of the govern
ed But Whitelaw Reid, leading rep
resentative of the new school, las de-
cided that this doctrine is a bit OF
"musty sentimentality" Senator Platt'
of Connecticut, another exponent of the
same school, has proclaimed that govern
ments now derive their powers from
part Of the governed, and third expo
nent has enunciated the doctrine that
there never was greater falsehooo
palmed off by the devil upon a credulous
world"
In the matter Of the appeal OF the
Porto Ricans to the Constitution, all that
is necessary to show their ignorance ana
innocence is reference 10 Mr.. McKinley's
philippine proclamation, and his general
course in dealing with the Philippine
question. In the former he used language
which indicated that he and his impe-
rialistfc advisers held that they were
constitution unto themselves. and lie has
emphasized practically that position in
carrying out us Philippine policy. What
the Porto Ricans need, therefore, Is edu-
cation as TO the new school Of states
mauship and the new doctrines that ere
now dominating, to the end that they
curb their Impotence, keep quiet, and not
render it advisable that they be DE
nevolently assimlated" What with the
dilemma Mr.. Mckinley is in with respect
to increasing our military establishment
little trouble in Porto Rico would come
in quite handy.

usual crime" the Courant says there
seems no ground for claiming that the
punishment was not deserved. Nor Is II
likely. adds our Hartford contemporary,
that this case differs from all the others.
IN that tho right man was punished. The
Courant then says that perhaps justice
has not often miscarried In these cases;
argues that "the objection to lynehing is
not to be found In false pity for men
who commit deeds that place them with
out the pale Of pity or sympathy, but
rather in the effect such things have
upon the moral character Of those WHO
take part In them" and In conclusion,
confcsses that even al that distance
from the scene. one may understand
how a strong sense of duty or frenzy al
a violent wrong committed may impel n
community to take the life of a fellow
citizen"
We have said that the Courants ar
ticle is a curious one for paper OF its
section But since we come TO think OF

a case Of the usual crime" few days
ago? And didn't the Infatuated crowd OF
reputable citizens pursuing the "hend

OF the usual crime" has marvellous
effect in the way Of changing sentiment

pated don't believe the newspapers
are getting all the news received at the
War Department but | know nothing of
it personally. If more men and money
are wanted, Congress will provide tho
means. The war is not popular, though"
And upon this the New York Times
comments as follows:
"rhe Senator, on some occasions. has
been accepted as speaking for the admin
istra,ion. He can hardly be supposed
TO do so in the above statement. ind
yet il is only too probable that II re-
fleets the state of the Presidents mind.
An anxious sense that the Job is harder"
than was expected a vague reliance on
Congress to provide the means TO handle
II some six months hence; a weary .ealI-
cation that the war Is not popular-thIs ~
are very likely 10 be the feelings with
which the unfortunate Chief Executive
is struggling among the Berkshire nils"
No doubt! No doubt! But this is not
all that Mr.. Mckinley has to struggle
with. Alger has had the base insratitude
to array himself against the trusts. Me-
Kinley's best friends and Hanna, who
