Signs of spring are not wanting.
Peach blows are in evidence, and the
Richmond Times-Dispatch and the
New York Sun have turned from poll
tics and the coal situation to a pleas
ant tossing of bouquets to the red
headed girl Says the Richmond pa
per: The red-haired girl is all right.
She reminds one of the sunshine. She
may be a little fiery, but she is gen.
erous. She stands up for her rights,
but she respects the rights of Others"
The New York paper in which the
sap of human nature rises in the gen.
tie springtime, Notwithstanding its
proximity to Wall street, agrees that
the red-headed girl is all right, all
right; but it objects to the assertion,
on no better ground than that her hair
is red, that the red-headed girl Is fiery.
1t is willing to admit that she is spir-
tied; that there is no dull albinism
about her nature and temperament.
But there is no better reason for CALI
ing her fiery than for holding that
a blue-eyed girl must be depressed in
the blues" Now as correlative prop
osition, isn't a white horse one of the
gentlest and most dependable creatures
in the world?

The bill designed for the protection
of the President apd other high Off
cials failed during. the closing days
of Congress. 1t had passed both
houses, but failed after conference on
the technical ground of new matter be-
ing added to it in the Conference Com
mittee. 1t seems to us that, as was
pointed out by Senator Bacon, the bill
was altogether too broad in its terms.
1t created privileged official class
around which was thrown protective
laws more stringent than those guard
ing not only the mass of citizens at
large, but other officials. Under the
proposed law, an assault upon The
minister of the most insignificant state
represented at Washington would have
been more serious crime than an as
sault upon the person of United
States senator or a representative in
Congress. 1t is desirable, of course, to
protect the President of the United
States against bodily harm by every
means possible. The interests repre-
scented by him are so vast that no
chance of his life than can be avoided
should be taken. Yet it is difficult to
see how he is to be protected by legis-
lation. The enactment of stringent
laws has not served to prevent as
sassinations of heads of governments
in Europe. s

Not only are college men slow to
marry. but the same Is true of col
lege women. AS a matter of fact, it
appears from certain statistics just
made public, that the proportion of
college women who never marry is
larger than that of college men. Data
from the catalogue of the University
of Michigan show that of the 1885
women that have been graduated from
that Institution, only $50 have mar
ried since graduating. This is less
than one in three. It is noted, further
more, that larger percentage of wom-
en- graduates marry from the profess
sional departments than from the lit
erary. This it is claimed verifies the
sociological tenet that marriage is re-
stricted largely IN proportion as the
standard of education among women
increases.

Seventeen thousand five hundred and
sixty bills We're introduced into the
Fffty-seventh Congress, just ended
Something less than 1000 of these bills
were reported by the committees to
which they had been referred, and
about 1900 of them were passed. This
makes the record for number of bills
introduced. 1t is stated that the num-
Der of bills of a private character in
.troduced and passed was unusually
large. 1t is probable that there were
more private bills introduced than any
other kind The number of acts of a
general character passed by the Fifty
seventh Congress was probably in the
hundreds, including the money bills.
In Congress, as in the state Legisla-
lures, the trend seems to be towards
private legislation.

Recently several women were APP
pointed customs inspectors at the port
of New York, against the protests of
the men in the service. Inspectors
have to climb over the sides of incom-

climbing up the side of a ship fell and

The other day in a New York de-
partment store a venerable woman of
refined appearance asked to see some
lace, for the purpose of matching q
sample she carried in her hand. Sew
eral pieces were laid before her. Find
ing what she wanted, she picked it up
and started for the door. The house
detective followed and arrested her as
a shoplifter. She protested her inno-
cence but the detective carried her to
the police station. 1t transpired that
she is member of fine old family,
with plenty of money and a son
prominent in business. She is IS years
old, and the taking of the lace was
merely the result of Observation-Disclosures
due to her advanced years. The ac-
ton of the detective was no doubt a
severe shock to her. The incident
should be warning to those whom it
concerns that all who carry. or start
to carry. out of stores goods for which
they have not paid are not thieves.

The seventeen-year patent which had
placed an absolute prohibition on
many forms of electric storage bat
teries during that period expired a few
days ago. Manufacturers are now at
liberty to bring into the market in
ventions along the same line. The
Electrical Review is not sure that a
result will be the cheapening of the
batteries in any very marked degree,
but it looks to see great improve
ment in batteries and electric auto
mobile apparatus.

On the last day of the Fifty-seventh
Congress a few moments were devoted
by some of the senators to expressing
their views in respect to the Philip
pines. The Massachusetts senators
are wide apart as to the policy that
should. be adopted in respect to the
islands. In the course of his remarks
on Philippine matters on Wednesday,
Senator Hoar said that the Senate was
an object lesson as to the unfitness of
the United States to deal with the des-
TIMES of a people 5000 miles away, a
people who have no share in the gov
eminent. 1t must be admitted that
the point he made was a telling one.
The Senate hasn't shown much capac-
ity for governing the Filipinos.
Senator Lodge, of the same state. de-
clared his belief in the ability of the
United States to deal with the difficult
matters presented by the Philippines
because they had dealt with matters
much more difficult, and. that, too. sue
cessfully. and Senator Mason of
Illinois, who, by the way. is
now ueau poHIlcal ducK,
pointed out that the war was still go
ing on in the islands, but that people
who were now resisting the authority
of the United States were called la
| drones instead of insurgents. The point
| he made was such a good one that no
one replied to, 1t. There is no doubt
that it is an open question as to wheth-
err or not the United States are going
to succeed in their attempt at govern
| Ing colonies. They have not made
much of success yet in governing the
| Philippines.

A RICHARDsoN BOOM.

Special dispatches in several. news
papers announce that vice-president-
ial boom for the Hon. James D. Rich
the other day by the Tennessee dele
cation in Congress. AS to Mr.. Rich
ardson's fitness there can be no doubt,
but has the time yet come for the
South to claim a place on the national
ticket? That the sectional feeling is
rapidly dying out and giving place to
broad, national spirit is undoubted-
ly a fact; but that the old feeling is
not entirely dead. and that it may be
unpleasantly revived even at this late
day, has been shown recently in at
least two circumstances. When Vir-
ginia proposed to place a statue of
Robert E. Lee In the Hall of Statuary
in the national capitol, and when Col.
Mcclure proposed a magnificent statue
to the same Southern general on the
Gettysburg battle field, there was a
furry of indignation" in certain Sec
tons of the North, and In Pennsy1-
vania numerous G. A. r. organizations
held meetings and passed denunciatory
resolutions. Again. the discussion of
the race question, precipitated by the
Presidents attitude towards the blacks,
has shown that there is still in the
North a smouldering spirit of un.
friendliness towards the South which
might be famed into flames in the
course of a campaign in which a South
ern man was candidate on the ma
tional ticket. The South can afford to
pursue it's policy of self abnegation for
awhile longer for the sake of harmony.

It appears that there are so many peo- pie who want to live in Pittsburg that there aren't houses enough for them. Awhile ago the real estate men of Pitts burg discovered that the demand for homes on the 1st of April would be un- precedented, and they decided to in- crease rents. The increases range from 10 to 9 per cent. Wise tenants accept ed the inevitable, but many of them re- fused to sign leases for the coming year, thinking that there would be plenty Of houses when the time came. In this they were mistaken, however, for now it is impossible to secure a house. The hotels are crowded to their full capacity and guests are being turned away daily unable to secure accommodations Many families are taking roomers and are charging fancy prices to them. Pittsburg has been a very lively place for the last few years, and it has be- come very rich place. As long as the iron and steel trade continues to be as flourishing as it now is Pittsburg's boom will continue.

anything outside of their own trade. They concentrated all their mental and physical energies in their business, and they established firms famed all over the world for excellence of work. The industries which they founded are now under the control of their sons or grandsons. They are charming men" observes MT. Foster, but they are touched with the inertia consequent on riches. They were born into success
 They have spent several years following academic courses at university. They have developed cultured tastes; their range of interests has been widened; the calls of public life have induced them to give a portion of their time to educational, philanthropic. municipal or political affairs. They have had no oc- casion to slave like the American. They belong to the second or third genera tion.'
 This, according to MT. Foster, is the reason why America bounds while
 England crawls." It is certainly one Of the reasons. There is no manufacturer in any country smarter than the United States manufacturer.

A song 0t Lost Love.

Trinita, Crucita. Anita!
 Through the gathering mist of the years With the infinite graces of dimpled Dfe"u
 faces,
 How roguishly each of you peers! Have not said, ''Get thee bcnind ne!'
 And long since forgotten the roll Trinita, Crucita, Anita
 Of the liquids which captured my soul! Trinita, Crucita, Anita!
 Why, the day of our passion is dead. My thoughts must not wayer from themes
 that are graYef
 Than busted my idle young head; Yet there, like trio of dryads,,
 Half hid in q trellis, you smile Trinita, Crucita. Anita
 With Iins that were made to beguile. Now, know you not, truant Trinita-
 Soft sylph whose delight is to lave Where the warm Caribbean sings ever a
 Of praise as you mount on the wave That time has brought Marys and Sarahs
 And many more homelike in sound Than Trinita, Crucita, Anita,
 However the liquids abound! And know you not, cruel Crucita, Who Quickened my heart to a hame Like some sulphur0us crater beneath tie
 In far Ecuador, whence you came, That the years on the wings have brought
 healing
 Spelled Helen, perchance, who is fair, Trinita, Crucita, Anita.
 With not q dark strand ill her halr! And you so much earlier and sweeter That your name I eumask In my rhymes You know that love varies, though toward the CaparieS once worshiped, vespers and primes; No more of that wreathing with roses Those glossy black ringlets, for thine With those of Trinita, Crucita)
 Have sprinked the silver in mine. Trinita, Crucita. Anita! Even now 1 grow weak In my will: Were all of you Circes whose kisses were curses, , I know 1 should welcome you still, For under your languOrous lashes,, And in every dimple's soft mold Trinita, Crucita, Anita The dreams of my youth I behold.

are by no means confining themselves to these subjects-as demonstrated, for example. by Napravnik in his success fuI opera, Francesca da RiTnini. The chief fact to be borne ip mind is that native composers have an opportunity to obtain a hearing for their works, and, with the establishment Of per manent. well organized Operatlc com pany in New York, American musicians also may become more hopeful. It may we'll be then that Wagner's prophecy ! to the effect that his successor would come from America will be fulfilled, and that We shall some day have Q pro- i duct, not merely cosmopolitan, but uni- versal and fundamentally human in the Wagnerian sense.
 Those who are either forever looking 1 backward" or merely contemplating art in the light of present political and social conditions, confidently edeclar 1 that the Anglo-Saxon race is incapable of producing a musical genius of the 1 first ordcr-a statement frequently ac- cepted as sclf-evident, although it is l but a mischievous half-truth. The | fact is that the signification of the term musical has undergone consid- erGble modification. The relation be- i tween music and poetry has during the last three generations become closer and closer. Even in the so-called ''ro-
 manticists,'' Schumann, Chopin and
 Mendelssohn, the poetic element is far
 more pronounced than is generally sup
 posed. In the Drama of the Future" finally. We have a complete union of the
 arts. True, in Wagner, the emotional
 or musical element was the primal im-
 pulse; hut it by no means follows that
 those capable of infusing new life into the fabric created by him shall be sim ilarly constituted. On the other hand, it should not be forgotten that the term American" is very broad in it's appli-
 cation. It does not include the An glo- Saxon alone, but several millions of
 the descendants of those nations who
 contributed to the development of mu-
 sic when that art existed purely and
 simply for it's own sake. There is con-
 sequently no reason whatever why we
 should not be rich in artistic material
 capable of development. The trouble is that this development has been
 wrong, and no influence more potent to
 effect revolution in this regard can
 be suggested than an operatic stage
 upon which masterpieces may be ade-
 quately performed so that their essen-
 tial dramatic content may be fully
 grasped, not only by the public at large,
 but by the ambitious student desirous
 of obtaining light. Why should we not
 make a beginning in this city?-Joseph
 Sohn in the Forum.

fl LARGE WANT.

A Wichita (Kansas) man advertises in a St. Louis paper for wife. This is what he says: "She must be young, healthy and good looking. Nothing with shams about her will be accepta- ble. Her weight shall not exceed 175 pounds. No dowry required. On death of her husband, myself, she will come into goodly fortune, which shall be hers in her own name"
 This man wants much if he wants a wife who is absolutely free from shams, and it is no wonder that he has been unable to get such a wife without ad- vertising for her. Advertising will bring her if anything will, but even if he gets her he may not like her as much as he thinks he will. If she hasn't enough sham about her to pre- tend to think he is all creation when she knows that he isn't much, and if she is sincere enough to keep trying to improve him by telling him how much he needs improvement, he may wish, if he knows enough to, that he had been willing to put up with a little agreeable sham. And has he any right to demand a woman without shams when he is undoubtedly somewhat shammish himself? Mo- and though we believe in the value of advertising, we shall not be surprised to read that his advertisement wasn't successful. IL is quite likely that the women who are without shams, if there are any, may not want him.
