SHALL IT BE MISTRESS, OR MISS

An organization has been formed in
France the object of which is to do
away with the practice of discrimlnat-
ing between married and single women
in the matter of designation. The pro-
tsgonists of this movement point to the
fact that man is referred to as ''mon-
sIeur, regardless of whether he be
married man or bachelor, and they
see no reason why the same rule should
not hold good with regard to the other
sex. The advocates of this change have
much the best of the situation from the
standpoint of logic and reason, because
there can be no logical argument urged
why it is more important that wo-
mans status, from a matrimonial
standpoint, should be designated In her
address than a mans. Indeed, 1T would
seem that if any discrimination IN this
respect were proper it should be the
woman whose condition with regard to
matrimony should not be disclosed by
her address. upon the principle that her
affairs are her own, and that becom-
ing modesty forb1ds the idle curiosity
that would make her the subject of
speculation or observation upon the
part of strangers or others as to her
status. It has not been so long ago
that ''mistress" was very proper and
universal designation for young women,
as a glance at any of the English
writers up to a half century ago Will
disclose; but gradually the custom grew
of bestowing the title of ''miss" upon
unmarried women, anG mistress" upon
those who were married, until now the
practice has become universal. A wo-
man may be Of mature age and have
full charge of vast business interests,
but she is nevertheless miss, ac-
cording to modern usage until she haa
become a married woman. When young
women are in the bud of life, with rosy
hopes before them, the appeliation of
''Miss" may be convenient to them in
the way of avoiding explanations that
may be more or less embarrassing; but
when one has reached ''the sere and
yellow leaf" and has, whether through
choice or circumstances, remained IN
married it does seem that the term
mistress" would be more applicable
to the situation.-Neg Orleans States.

The New Orleans Picayune thinks
ths talk about German and Hill is
inspiring. ''It shows" says the New
Orleans paper, "that there is some
probability of getting the democratic
party oEce more under a strong and
united organization. It shows that
the party is getting back to the first
principles of democracy by advocating
men for Office who were not led off sf-
ter the new tangled ideas that for a
season caused the party to run riot.
It shows an inclination on the part of
the rank and file to return to old lines,
which is both refreshing and inspiring.

TO FIGHT G0RMAN.

The Maryland Republicans are very
sore over the loss of the State legisla'
ture in the recent election, and from all
accounts they are going to make
tight against Arthur p German, who
appears to be the only Democratic can
didate for the United States senator
ship. It is said they will go to Wash
ington and contest his right to seat
IN the Senate on the ground that the
legislature was elected by fraud. The
disappointed and angry Republicans,
however, have overlooked the fact that
the Senate has on numerous occasions
refused to inquire into the character of
legislatures, very wisely holding that
it was something TO be left to the State
to settle and any interference on the
part of the general government would
only create confusion Aside from thif
Mr.. German would be hard man to
displace in the Senate, because he is
very popular with the Republican Sen
ators, and in many respects man af-
ter their own heart, and one that their
party would not have occasion to fear
very much.

several days ago. 1t was Mr. .BoerIng' s
fourth visit in four days, and the presi-
dent has been overrun with other Re-

more than a week.
