When Woman Proposes
By Beatrice Faf,7ax

II resp responded @I with @S's young MAD man f3 for
one year and then he asked me
to keep company, and I said yes. Later
we broke off because Of a difference in
religion. Now we have been writing
again for over a year. and 1 love him
dearly, aud I know we will get along.
DO you think ought to write and
tell him I love him? Otherwise, if
don't stop thinking I will die heart
broken"
want Hazel Belle to cut out this
letter she has written me and put it
where she will see it at least once a
year till she has reached mature years
Ii will be interesting to her to read and
look back at herself. More than inter-
esting-it will be educational
Il took my little troubles too serious
~ in those days" she will say; per
haps / am taking troubles OF today Just
as seriously which will seem as trivial
in time to come"
For youth rarely dies broken-hearted.
Youth has d recuperative power that is
half its charm.
Youth makes mountains of all its
molehills. There are some women who
never outgrow the habit
A Foolish Step
Hazel Belle will not ask this man to
marry her. am sure she will do moth
| ing so foolish. But since she asks if
she may and other girls every day ask
the same question, and young men
every day write that girls really pro-
pose, let us make believe that Hazel
Belle did the proposing and that the

! buy him an occasional box of cigars,

Pav.as. You-Go State Departments.

Armed with a practical knowledge Of the state :
business obtained during his service as Controller,
Governor Gynn has announced a specific plan to
effect ecOnOmies-a pay-asyOu-go system for the
state departments which aims to do away with the
supply bill and deficiency appropriations. 1t goes
without saying that he and his department heads
will have hard job getting this system in opera
ton Nevertheless, it is one well worth trying and
one well worth perfecting if trial shows it as ap-
pcable TO department business as 1t seems at irst
glance.
At present the budget system, comparatively
new thing for the state, is far from perfect. Lump
sum appropriations are obtained, and money is spent
sometimes before it is appropriated Governor
Glynn wants to substitute for this a budget system
so definite and detailed that each department head
can show Just what he ought to have and be held
TO his appropriation without emergency additions
by way Of the supply bill. Along with this is to go
report to the State Controller by each depart
ment head, showing proposed expenditures in eX-
cess of $1,000 before the money is spent OF course,
all this would cut out the pork" which hides in the
lump sum appropratons-jObs for the insiders and
emergency contracts at fat figures. Governor Glynn
proposes to apply TO the states business the prin-
ciple which the fusion Board of Estimate has ap-
piled with signal success to this city's affairs Ii
ought to work as well in Albany here.

candidate is John j. Hopper, an inde-
pendent Democrat We need such men
as he is i'm public office now more than
ever He has been identified for the last
twenty-five years with all movements for
clean politics and honest government, CIV
ing much time and contributing liberally
to the financial support Of all reform
movements in diffident manner, free
from self-interest. Space In your valuable
paper would not permit of me dwelling
upon his many noble qualities; suffice IT
to say that he has endeared himself 90
all who know him I'm the Harlem section,

conferred upon him for his personal
worth, as well as to his correctness OF
principles. CHARLES HEYMANN.

Crisis and Precedent in Mexico.

Mexican affairs are again said to be heail'S Z"
crisis Whatever turn they may take, the situa'ioH
is by no means unprecedented. Between hfty anu
sixty years ago in the days of Comonfort' ZuIoae"'
Miramon and Juarez. there were frequent reVolu-
tions recognition of dc fdcto Presidents was reiSeu
bv the United States, and confidential agents were
sent to Mexico by our government. Also there was
mich talk of armed observation-disclosures speclh
cally recommended it in 1S59-in circumstances Oh
at least as great provocaton the present. but II
never amounted to more than talk.
In all the troubled history of our Mexican reIa
tions there is perhaps nothing more fitting for
remembrance at this time by all whom 1t may con-
Germ than the dictum of Mr.. Seward at what was
for both Mexico and the United States the supreme
crisis of the century, when he reminded the MeAl-
can government that peace, order and constitutional
authority in each and all of the American repubhcS
were mot exclusively an interest of any one OF
them but common and Indispensable interest OF
them all" That is a particularly good thing 10
be remembered just now at both Mexico City ana
Washington.

For a Drydock at Last.

1t is gratifying to know, on the authority of Mr..
r. A. c. Smith himself, that the Dock Department
is at last making plans to construct in this city a
drydock capable of containing any ship that visits
this port-that is to say the biggest in the world.
So far as disclosed these plans indicate dock that
will be particularly efficient and at the same time
economical in use, in convenient situation
The need of such an establishment at this port
has frequently been urged in these columns.
1t has always seemed to us dscreditable and
anomalous that the chief port of this continent
should be without some of the most fundamental
and essential needs of commerce. New York has,
Mr.. Smith observes, the most wonderful natural
port in the world. 1t ought to have the most com
pete artificial equipment in the world, and the
completion of the dock now planned will be an
important step toward that end.

Now, couple the above with Mr.. Nc
