Believes Love Unnecessary.

The problem OF human emotions Is a
complex one. and every time we read the
utterances Of an actress or a singer on
this topic OF wide interest we are con-
strained TO believe that there is some
thing new under the sun. At least. there
are certain conditions existent which are
not understood by the rank and file OF the
earth's inhabitants.
Lima Cavalier the prima donna. f.

Winthrop Chanler. the millionaire club

There Is nothing exciting about my

This view OF life and love may satisfy
a prima donna, but should It ever become
popular Cupid would find no more use
for his culver and bow. It Is well for the
rest Of humankind that the frank state
ment Of Mile. Cavalier is at variance
with the views held by Others IIcr be-
lief that sentiment is unnecessary does
not obtain generally. and the world IS
better as a result.
Life IS prosaic enough at itg best. and
there should be at least one period IN the
life OF every one when the rosoato hue
cannot be excessive. Few brides-to-b
are thoughtful enough to plan their we'd
ding for a State where divorces can be
obtained The average bride-to-be does
not look that far ahead. and her unso-
phisucated condition is eminently n moro
satisfactory one than is that Of the worldly
wise woman who plans her divorce as she
Is speaking her marriage vows.

TRUTH AND FICTION.

all critics who claim that the newspapers
do not tell the truth Every editor Of
experience realizes the importance OF
the above quotation. and tries with all
his might 20 hold the reporters under

as soon as q reporter has had few
years experience. he also comes 10 under
stand that truth IS stranger than fc-
ton and scorns TO draw upon his i'm
agination FOR details in reporting an

As matter OF fact however. there IS
probably no such thing as fiction. Il

that they do not show the reader the

BARONETS TO BE ENROLLED.

The hereditary degree Of baronet has

not a barOnet, for serious action might
result from so doing. and the onus Of

An overwhelming defeat has come to
the Republicans Of the Thirty-second New
York district They deserved H. II IS
not the unexpected that has happened,
ANY other result would have been little
less than miraculous.
Disregarding the signs Of the times
ignoring the condition OF political unrest
existing generally, and failing to profit by
object lessons produced by other special
elections. the Republicans nominated for
Congress, or permitted him to nominate
himself the boss OF the distrlct-a ma
chine politician OF unsavory repute gain
ed at Albany. and utterly unworthy from
any point OF view to fiji the vacancy
created by the death Of James Breck
Perkins.
Dissatisfaction with the new tariff in
itself doubtless was sufficient 70 lose the
election; a championship Of it by such a
candidate made defeat inevitable.
II there is any surprise at all in the
outcome. It is that the outraged con-
Etituency did not make the result unan-
imous
Traditonally, the Republican party has
been credited with displaying the greatest
wisdom IN its emergencies and fighting
best when hardest pressed. but IN this
contest It made an arrant fool OF itself
IN allowing Boss Aldridge TO control It.
Similar triling with public opinion will
assuredly receive similar rebuke wherever
attempted. Tor the independent voter now
inhabits the land. More power TO him!
OF course, the Democratic party IS a
proper subject or felicitation again. This
VIII be given ungrudgingly by right
minded men, regardless OF partisan at
hliation. The overthrow Of such a boss
as Aldridge. made sure by the choice OF
a clean and capable opponent, is a worthy
achievement, that reflects genuine credit
upon the Democracy.

Of the impending upheaval IN November.
