EDITORIAL COMMENT.

The republican senators who voted
for Quay on account OF his charming
disposition" should give specifications
as to the charm. 1t was not known
that the ex-senator could charm the
birds off their nests, although there
were suspicious that he could charm
the fruit of the plum trees.-The Pitts
burg Dispatch.
The other day a young man sudden
" flooded with wealth tried to make
deposits at some OF the New York saw
ngs banks His undertakings were
unsuccessful, most Of the banks report
ing that they had all the money they
could use. General Prosperity seems
to be holding the forts all along the
Iline.-Boston Journal.
1t seems very hard to secure substan-
tial reforms by legislation, not only in
inducing legislatures to undertake a
genuine reform, but also in getting
laws in shape that will stand the test
of judicial examination.-Nas
Banner.
The one really important question
raised anew by this misSive from
ITarlac is whether George Dewey rec
ognized the insurgents as allies Of the
United States and repeatedly promised
Aguinaldo on his honor that they
should have political independence.
Aguinaldo reaffirms that he did.
George Dewey has told the president
and the country that neither on May
10, 1898, nor on any other day, did he
give Aguinaldo any such promise. It
is the word OF Malay adventurer-a
Malay patriot" il you please-against
the word of an American admiral and
gentleman. Erving Winslow and the
Springfield paper are at perfect liberty
to make their choice. We made ours
some nme ago. We believe George
Dewey. -liartford Courant.

seating himself In the bay window
the people seem to be fond OF me.
Eh?"
They do, sir" answered his private
secretary. They do indeed"
And yet sometimes, John" pursued
the hero, sometimes I distrust the
permanency Of even such popularity.

thought Of that.-New York Press.

It is now apparently settled that
both factions OF the republican party
will meet in respective conventions at
Dover on February %. That ought 10
bring about a coalescence. In such
large representative conventions there
should and doubtless will be influential
elements that value party principles
nboYe faction; and these elements
should be able to divest themselves of
all influences that prevent party sue
cess. They should be able to effect o
union.

does not, perhaps, relish baked apples
Therefore she should see to It that no
lady. who reushes baked apples is per-
mitted to enjoy any benefits or incur
any injuries that may result from eat
ing baked apples. Miss Bissell yester-
day assured a congressional committee
that she and her companions consider
themselves united for the elective
franchise. Nobody is likely to differ
from any woman who asserts herself
as naturally or educationally unfit "a

trusted with it. On the other hand, Il
does not follow that because some
women are incapable or unworthy OF
the ballot every man must
admit that his mother, his
wife and his sister is. The Even
ing Journal personally knows greater
number of men who are unfit to use
the ballot than it knows women who
are so. Woman suffrage has been wei
tested and the results are most salts

-MILITIAMEN aBr THEIR MONEY

For more than three years the Ma
tional Guard of Delaware has been
kept out of a sum of money which is
due it, and it is said to be owing to the
alleged fact that Colonel !. Pussy
Wickersham did not make a report to
the acknowledgement. The money due
the boys is for service during the dedi-
cation Of the Washington monument in
philadelphia on May Is, 1897.
The men left 300 strong on that
morning and returned that night. They
were to receive twenty-five cents each
for dinner, which was appreciated by
the city Of Philadelphia, but it was not
received. for some time afterwards.
Therefore, they were compelled to pur-
chase thir own meals. The money was
secured through the influence Of A. ID.
