The young Borgia realized that the

all that. but It did not tempt him.

 The public at large does not really know the precision of some of our as- tronomicaI observations. Thus we know the length of the day in Mars by diurnal rotation to the tooth part Of a second, and from observations, which have now extended over 100 years, we find the length of the day on the planet is twenty-four hours seven minutes twenty-two seconds. The climate of the Martians is very mild, there are no gales, while the atmosphere is very light, with scarcely any clouds. The inhabitants enjoy fine weather, the cli- mate being something like that of Da- vos Platz, dry and clear. We know the globe of Mars perfectly; in fact, far better than the earth.

It endorses the action of the administra- ton and the Canal Commission, and de- clares that such action is not a viola tion of the protective tariff system flor the reason that protection Is in- tended to preserve the home market for the home producer. and the Panama Canal is not a home market" Then It adds:
 The Canal zone is not a part of the United States, and the Canal wnicn we are constructing there is not to pc 2 say, the Erie Canal or one of the Pacis fic Railroads. The canal will De owne9 by this country, and will De operanSo and controlled by this country we trust that in time it will also De used But, nevertheless, II will be " a for eign land, and it will be, by me most sacred guarantees, open impartfally for international and universal use. we cannot see. then, that It is properly to be regarded as under the rule or the protective system.
 That, we confess, is new one. on us. The Canal strip Is to be governed. controlled and operated by us, but 1t Is in foreign country. and if we buy ev- erything used in the Canal construction from foreigners, it will not violate the Republican tariff theory. There's logic for you, and we hope The Tribune's brethren will enjoy 1t. Any way. the row Is a very pretty one.

WOMEN AND POCKETS.

The Chicago Journal puts up a plea for one more advance for women to- wards equal rights and privileges in the battle of life. Why" 1t asks, mot have pockets, plenty of pockets to put things in?" We repeat the question with emphasis. One of the mysteries of life that no man has ever yet felt himself competent to solve is to know how a woman can manage without pockets. A p1au in his ordinary every- day suit, especially if he is wearing an overcoat. will have from dozen to a score of pockets in his clothing, and as a general proposition he will find use for all of them. How can woman get through life with none?
 It is doubtless true that business or working man has more need for a num- Der of pockets than a woman has. but that is only partial solution of thu mystery. We can understand how she could get along with half-a-dozen of them, but to do without any is not a matter for the male comprehension to fathom. She will carry a little purse. bag or reticule hanging to her arm and in this she win carry as many and as great a variety of articles as a school boy has in his pair of pockets. and among the number will be tickets and street-car fare which will always be at the bottom, by the way. This hangs to her wrist, ready for the first purse snatcher to get, and is usually in her way, besides. It is a standing joke pocket in a womans dress. when she happens to have a pocket, but that is no reason why the woman herself should not be able to locate 1t after she has learned how. As The Chicago Journal says:
 It Is the custom of the sisterhood to leave either pocketbook or handbag in be found and appropriated by the un- scrupuIOuR The daily loss by reason of this curious and wasteful practice runs into the hundreds of dollars. The great stores of the city maintain bu- reaus which find constant occupation in bringing womankind and their severed belongings together after temporary separation.
 All this trouble and worry and loss could be avoided by having two or three pockets in proper places about them. We say "in proper places" as d precautionary utterances. because we don't want to be asked where the pockets should be located. That is for the woman herself to decide, and we've no doubt that after a few experiments Bne would be able to put them where <ney would do the most good. But certainly. they ought to have them somewhere handy.

A SENSIBLE NEGRO.

On hearing of the death of General Fitzhugh Lee, negro of Virginia wrote a letter in which the following passage occurs:
 I was born a slave. I know all the hardshps that slavery snta1ed fne s,averw vpon Thank God that that bondage that wronged and enfeebled both master and slave is gone, never to return; put deep man for my contact with him, for the Christian civilization that slavery brought to my race: The hand ot jod can be seen in 1t all.
 In one respect the writer is not ex- actly correct. We have no evidence that the negro was enfeebled by slav- cry, morally, mentally or physically. Wrongs there were. beyond doubt, and many cruelties connected with the in- stitution of slavery, but no enfeeble- ment on either side. The world has never seen a stronger race of men. taken as a whole. than were the slave holders of the South. As for the slaves themselves, 1t may be doubted whether they were wronged by a slavery. When brought from their African homes they were simply savages. with little con- ception of right and wrong, with minds undeveloped and bodies united for the labor that requires strength and en- durance. Physically, mentally and morally, they were benefited by slavery.
 Not many of those white men who are forever denouncing slavery and shareholders will agree with this negro that "the hand of God was in it," but can we gainsay his opinion? From the lowest depths of savagery. brutality and heathenism, the colored race through long years of slavery. has been brought up to degree of civili- zation and to a knowledge of the duties and blessings of Christianity which were absolutely unattainable in his na- tive country. Thus far, at least. slav- cry has proven a blessing to the race, and this negro writer Is sensible enough to see 1t. In that. he is ahead of many white men.
