COL. GREEN'S e.a42 PROPOSALS.

The 6.242 proposals OF marriage re-
ceived by Col. r. II. r. Green, son OF
Hetty Green, the worlds richest
woman. constitute n worlds record.
They also raise the startling question
whether the tradition that man must
do the proposing is losing its force.
1t seems hardly likely that the femi-
nine acknowledgements that has dis
possessed the male sex OF whole pro-
fessions and callings once exclusively
his. should be willing always to take
4 passive attitude in the matter OF a
marriage contract.
The growing aggressiveness OF fem
ininity is very noticeable. II was
once held that young unmarried
women must take a very passive att
tude in the matter OF giving invita-
tons 10 social pleasures. They could
give parties in their homes. but their
general conduct toward the male sex
was marked by a d!gnifed aloofness 5.
Their attitude toward friends and
sultors alike was very like that OF the
old time statesman. that the Office
must seek the man" They believed that
familiarity breeds contempt" and
that the girl who made herself too
common must seem less desirable.
But this is an age OF general aggres-
sion. The politician no longer sticks
10 his plough waiting until the mes
senger from the polls shall announce
his unsought election. lie gets out
close 10 the people through long pre-
liminary weeks OF canvassing. The
business man no longer sits in his
store and waits for trade 10 come 10
him. lie advertises. and he sends
statesmen on the road
Likewise the gospel OF modern ad-
vertising has penetrated even the
heart OF maidenhood. She hunts
young masculinity down 10 his bust
ness lair. where the telephone IL be-
sieged with invitations to picnics. ex-
curslons and athletics
All OF which may Jar some OF our
preconcc.ved opinions yet the heroic
6.2i2 who have submitted their charms
70 the inspection OF Col. Green are
simply following the way o. the mod.

PLAIN AND FANCY LYING.

The above is taken from the Ran

Enterprise. less than a year ago. was
virulent partisan OF John T. Nc
Graw and a vicious opponent Of c. w.
Watson. After the election OF Mr..
Watson 10 the senate the editor OF

cepted the place OF secretary to Mr..
watson at a very handsome salary
Since that time he has assisted in I'LL
ing the Democratic papers OF the state
with laudations OF Mr.. Watson and
misrepresentation OF prominent Re
publicans
So much for the author, now as to
the facts. In his interview at Wheel
ing ex-senator Scott did not say that
the Republican State committee would
not be reorganized: on the contrary.
he said that IL would be reoreanized
He stated as emphatically. as clearly
and as decisively as words could
