Contemporary Comment
Carrying out St. PauIs Ideas.

1t is reported that bishop OF the
Episcopal church in New Jersey mas
issued a mandate to churches In ms
diocese that womens be not allowed 10
appear in church bareheaded. Whether
this is designed as rebuke to the
new woman" 2who; is supposed to be
growing "mannish," or hint to cru
saders against Big hats in public places
to mind their own business, or rally
to the defense Of the Pauline idea that
it is shame for women to appear in
church with their heads uncovered,
can only be surmised. If the latter, 1t
is pertinently asked whether the New
Jersey churchman will be consistent
and enforce the other rule that requires
women to keep silence in churches and
run the sewing society himself; or
whether he is prepared to enforce the
Pauline views on the wisdom of re-
raining from marriage, which would
abolish wedding fees.-Portland Ore

Plenty of Money for Irrigation.

The money available for national ir-
rigation will be far in excess of the
most sanguine expectation. A pre-
liminary statement from the general
land office is to the effect that the sales
of public lands last year were nearly
70 per cent greater than for the pre-
ceding year. The total receipts were
$10,560,000, of which about three
fourths go into the arid land reclama-
ton fund. which now amounts to about
$15,000,000." The addition to the fund
from last years sales, therefore, is
within small fraction Of IS, 00o,OOO.-

Land Pirates in the West.

The land pirates are not only bring
ing scandal upon the country. but they
are the worst enemies of the proper de-
Velopment Of the new West that the
government has to contend with. The
spectators who are borrowing under
the new irrigation, laws and gathering
great areas intended for the future
homes of American citizens may be
less reprehensible than those who are
charged with cheating the Indians, if
those charges are confirmed as they
probably to no great extent mix up
government service with their own
schemes, but that is due more to cir
cumstances than to any moral superb

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED.


When trust eats trust, then is the
tug of war. The beef trust is to have
opposition in the shape Of an indie
pendent packing concern which has
been formed at Kansas City by some
cattlemen of the Southwest We have
no great sympathy for these gentlemen.
The trust has put up the price of meat
to Ubiquitous figures. but not the price
of cattle. The cattleman gets none
of 1t. So he is thinking of going into
the trust business himself; not that
the people may get cheaper meat, but
that the tribute which they pay may
go into his pockets instead of those
of the trust that is doing business at
the old stand.
idle. There is a cane sugar trust,
known as the American Sugar Rein
ing company, and q beet sugar trust.
at the head of which is one Oxnard,
much in evidence when reciprocity
with Cuba is to be considered. The
big concern, which is the Havemeyer
made by it's rival 1t has found that
bounties conferred by paternal gov
eminent in the shape Of tariff duties
are no sweeter than bounties paid by
state governments, reinforced by the
same protective gratuities. Hence it
is proceeding to absorb it's rival, and
controlling interest in most Of the
beet sugar refineries of Michigan has
passed into the hands of the Have
meyer concern.
Neither is there here any promise of
relief to the consumer. On the con-
trary, he is being walled in. The
agreement Of the governments of Eu-
rope to abolish the sugar bounties by
means of which they have kindly fur
nished at their own expense cheap
sugar to the rest of the world that
was not insane enough to shut it out
by high tariffs, will cut off that COM
petition. Presently the big sugar trust,
one of the biggest and worst of the lot,
will be secure in its monopoly.
These are changes in the Industrial
world which the man who works for
his living and has to spend his wages
for meat and sugar and other such
necessaries is watching with both in
terest and concern. The net is draw
ing closer about him. He has no OBJ
lection to any consolidation which
produces economies, if he shares the
benefit. He is unreasonable enough to
be FESTIVE when combinations are I'M
der way in various directions that
mean to him only a further increase
in the already monstrous cost of liy-
ing. He wants to know what is going
to be done about it.
Apparently nothing. We do not find
that the administration or anybody
connected with the party in power is
concerning himself about these de-
| velopments that touch the life of the
| people directly and seriously. We dc

THE DUKE WINS.

Miss May Goelet has said Eyes, to
the Duke of Roxburghe. The wedding,
which will take place presently, is
hardly to be considered a matter of
international Importance in itself, but
it is of passing interest to us Of the
United States because it settles the
question of Mays immediate future.
She is to marry an Englishmanl and
thereby promote the entente. She
might have wed a Russian, a French
man. Turk or Prussian, according to
the voracious chronicler of the doings
Of those who are set over as by rea-
son Of the super-excellence of their
lineage and the extent Of their pos
sessions.
Miss Goelet, whose mamma knows
the social game as well as she does
bridge and who has many millions in the
form Of New York city property, has
been campaigned for but a few seasons.
She is lovely enough to be loved for
herself and it is not therefore fair to
inquire into the motives of those young
men of Europe, Of high and dirty line
age who have sought her hand. But
it must be admitted that Cupid was
doing some cratic and miscellaneous
shooting when he tried to place Miss
Goelet.
First there was stricken a party
yclept Hohenlohe, the Prussian royal
house, first name Hugo, who was so
hard hit that he offered to meet the
American girl on the basis of dollars
and wanted to pay ten thousand dol
lars for the mere consideration of his
proposal. That is as far as he got and
his wound stir rankles. Prince Henry
Haren, of Bohemia, fell in love with
the lovely American and was forth
with directed by this family to betake
him to the nursery, Henry being of
tender years. The Duke of Manchester
laid his heart and his battered castle at
the feet of Miss Goelet and the castle
almost crumbled when she spurned it
and him., The Duke Boris, of Russia,
got into the game for minute and a
French marquis with debts as great as
Castellane got just an even run for
what he had-he did not even start.
Any one of these gallants might
have been favored of Miss Goelet and
the result must have been a disturb
ance of the financial conditions and an
international amity-for it is not to be
doubted that our marriage connections
in England would have protested had
the wedding been arranged in any
other case than that of the Duke of
Roxburghe.
He. it appears, is all that is re-
quired in the way Of a ducal husband.
His strawberry leaves are compare
lively fresh. His ancestral halls are
in state of fair repair and in a fair
way to be in better state. Besides
he offers the advantage of union
without entangling alliances. The
brides dot will be sufficient for the
rehabilitation of the Rexburghe for
tunes. Joe Choate will have the entree
to another ducal house where he can
order breakfast in his room if he is SO
disposed.
Altogether we have much to gain
from this union of the dollar and the
duke and nothing to lose but one hand
some young woman-and we have
them to burn, and no disposition to
burn them except for the honor and
glory of republican institutions.
