Senator Beveridge was inspired
by the spirit of plumber. He con-
fessed as much. The nugget of
pure gold picked up on the banks
of Philippine creek" excited in
him the spirit of cupidity, which
would make the Philippines per
manent American possessions, not
for the purpose of giving the Fill
ipinos the blessings of freedom.
but for the purpose of stealing
what they OWN to increase the
American hoard. The whole spirit
of the Senator'S speech was pratt
cal, not patriotic, and after stealing
the mines and fields and forests of
a friendly people," the Senator
would provide that "the Americans
must run everything" Not con-
tent with frank, if wordy, ac-
acknowledgement of his purposes of
plumber, the Senator tried to make
Providence silent partner in his
schemes of wrong and oppression.
We do not think that Senator Bev-
eridge's speech will will last. 1t

INC Kentucky Incident.

The Republican press is strange
ly silent over the appearance in
Frankfort, the capital of Kentucky,
of thousand armed desperadoes
bent on debating the State Legis-
lature's policy. These men have
submitted what they call q petition
to the Assembly, but in every sem
blance of it there is threat They
are being encouraged by the de
faoto Governor, whose sworn duty
it is to disarm them and order them
to keep the peace.
In the winter of 1894 body of
starving men, representing the I'M
employed of Boston, assembled on
that city's historic Common, and,
after listening to several speeches
in which no note of menace was
heard, marched to the State House
and presented petition to Govern
or Greenhalge and the Legislature.
This petition was cry for work,
but Governor Greenhalge saw in it
the essence of anarchy; SO did Re-
publican newspapers from Cape
God to Kalamazoo. Some of them
went SO far as to advise that the
leaders of the "mob" be hanged
for interfering with the chosen
representatives of sovereign peo-
ple." It makes all the difference
in the world whose political OK is
gored.-N. Y. Sunday News

LovEMAKING In MEXICO.
Young Men and Women Rarely Meet,
and Then Only In the Presence
of the Girls Relatives.

Sonora Adelaide Vazquez Schiaffino,
Mexican woman, in paper in Wom-
ans Home Companion entitled 'The
Social Sphere of Mexican Women" +"
writes as follows of courtship beyond
the Rio Grande:
"A Mexican girl realizes she is miss
of some Importance when she has at
tracted would-be cavalier. who has
seen her at mass or during promenade
on the plaza. Without the formality
of an introduction he dispatches letters
glowing with words of admiration and
devotion, and nervously awaits reply.
In the meantime he visits the locality
of her home, hoping to catch sight of
the object of his admiration at the bal
cony or as she emerges from the house
to attend church. He patiently but
persistently promenades backward
and forward in the street, for custom
forbids his entrance to the house, and is
happy if favored with glance from
her lustrous black eyes. No ridicule
is strong enough to dampen his ardor,
and no objections of irate parents suffi-
ciently powerful to subdue his passion
Mexican lovers rarely meet. for even
if the young man is related to the fam
lily of the young lady, and has been
caller at the home, the mere fact of his
paying attention to her puts a severe
restraint on his intercourse with the
family. After a time, If things have
progressed favorably, he is admitted
as an accepted suitor, and is received by
the girl always accompanied by her
mother, who usually does all the con-
versation. Bat love finds many forms
of expression, and stolen glances, never
suspected. speak volumes for the low
ers. As the suit progresses many an
evening passes with the girl at the win
dow or balcony, and her ,over in the
street below, wholly oblivious of the
passer-by or his naive or caustic re-
mark. The duration of courtship de-
pends upon the formality employed,
the means at command of the parties,
and their age. Consent of the marriage
is demanded from the parents of the
girl by the suitor's father, who is ac-
companied by priest, that the pledges
may be made the more binding"
