THE frienda of Governor Morton, of New York, think he is the logical oaudidate of the Rnpublicin party f^r Presl dent next year. The logic of April, 1S95. however, .y not prove t$tj tbe logic Of April, 1896, although If Mr. Morton were a younger man he would probably be a formidable candidate in next year's national convention.

THE first Protestant Episcopal clergyman in this country to be elected mayor of city was chosen last week at Superior, Wisconsin, in tbe person I Rev. Chas. S. Starkweather. In his farewe'l sermon he created something of a sensation by declaring that he will ran no "Sunday school government." Be has no belief in prohibition, and saloons be considers ihe poor man's clubs. Astb* rich man's clubs, are open on Sund».v he does not see why the poor man's clubs should be closed, it is p*a*o

There are several thousand of suoh refugees in tb coutftry, all of whom are lending the.r morat and financial support to the revolution. They succeed in creating a sentiment in favor of the cause in what ever communUv they may reside, and atameefng in Florida recently many oitHens of business and political prom inenoe participated In the pro eedtnjrs, and ringing resolutions were adopted-in favor of the ievolution. Even the legis lature of Florida adopted resolutions ao prov'ng the revolution. The trouble will come whon the revolutionary leaders are captured and imprisoned They will appeal to their adopted coun try for protection and bring claims for images against Spain. There will be uo end of diplomatic correspondence, and it may end in serious trouble if our government insists on protecting the men who have declared their intentions of becoming citizens of the United States.

TIMES are hard, and many men out of work find opportunities of concocting schemes, that otherwise might be profit ably employed. The latest one pre sented to a gullible public is that by which it is proposed to create a new state by taking a part of tbe three states of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, which will be known as the state of

Superior" or "the mineral state.-' The advocates of the plan would cut out a territory bounded on the north by Canada, on the west by the Mississippi river, on tbe south by a line drawn from the Mississippi river along thb southern boundary oT the northern tier of Wis OOOS'B counties and terminating at tbe =»x'reroe tip of the upper peninsula. Tbreastiern t^undary lino wonld lie iu tne lakes, but that is immaterial to the n!an. Dulntb, made famous by Proctor Knott n1?!the"zenith city of the unsalted seas," would be the capital of the new state, which would be the richest in wealth in the union It would have more than o00 miles of waterfront and contain

head of the lakes" harbor,

which is tbe gateway for the trade and commerce of the entire northwestarn country. The advocates of the plan think It would meet with a favorable reception by the present congress from the reason that it wonld be solidly Republican. The three states out of wblch it is proposed to carve a new state, have a total area of 198,820 square miles. Texas

if an attempt should be successfully

made to create a new state surely Re pttbHcan, it wou*d be offset no donbt by tbe Democrats by carrying out a plan chat was long ago advocated, of making two states out of the great Lone Star state, either of which would be greater in »lz9 than the average state in tfc«* anion.

THB convict labor question is receiving the attention it deserves at the hands of thinking people, and legislators have been looking into the workings oi the system In many states. Here in In dlana a senatorial commission has been appointed to inquire into the methods o? employing convict labor In other slates, nod to devise means for employing tbf of our own state. In Illinois a commission la actively engaged in inveaUg?Ung the methods employed in the penitentiary for utilizing the labor of the pris-

labor, at far less than the actual eost o? manufacture. In this case, convicts are employed equal in number' to one seventh of the free Hbor employed in the same industry, and the consols are practically made a direct tax on the free laborers with whom they compete. Convicts we will always b%ve. acd prisons, but they should he sur ported by tbe entire community that glides to pun -«sh.

What is' a "Lady?"

It would never enter into my head to think a person of great wealth and poa sessod of a fine establishment a lady, if she oould turn in her own house from a beaming recognition of some star of contemporaneous fashion to bestow a frozen greeting upon a social makoweight or a poor friend of other days who hud not kept pace with her in progress up he ladder of society, writes Mrs. Burton Harrison in an interesting discussion of the proper usage of the terms "woman and "lady" in The Ladies' Home Juur nal. ..fe

To lay-down a law for the use of the word in the present condition of Amer ican society would, I think, puzzle the most ingenious makers of sooial codes. For the time it must remain a matter of intuition when and where to apply the graceful courtesy title of "lady."

The Difference. .^l?

''Jeannette H. Walworth writes in the New York Mail and Express: "•.A firm of Connecticut lawyers not long since had a young woman stenographer of superior mental caliber in the office. They wanted eoruc -'options" secured amon^a lot of English stockholders in an Ainei^can enterprise. On a notice of ten hours she started to Europe, traveled from point to point in senrch of the stockholders, secured three more options than she was sent aftor, endured the scorn, of one titled lady, who could not xinderstand why a female young person should be sent oh such an important mission," returned home in time to ward off impending calamity from a wealthy corporation and had her salary raised $1 a week. She had been getting $10. In'tLie same o£3oe with her w»s a young man stenographer in receipt of $15 weekly. This is an authentic case.

French Idea of American Women. "The "Women of the United States" is the title of a book translated from the French. Its author is C. de Yarigny, and he makes many remarkable state ments concerning the manners and oustoms of tbe American woman. This W only one of many instances: "There are in New York a number of women who receive an allowance for their support not from one husband alone,"but from two and three, from all of whom they have been successively divorced, and this is the case when they are living with their third or even fourth husband." But this is no funnier than oertain opinions and statements of facts concerning the French expressed lately by Mark Twain.—Boston Journal.

Today's Woman. /.V,":?

Dublin has a new paper called Today's Woman. It is edited and written by a group of talented women, many of whom are university graduates. Its leading article is by Sir Charles Cameron on "Scientific Professions For Women." Progress in England has been along different grooves from what it has been ^il America. Here women hnve entered law, medicine, dentistry, the pulpft,1 chemistry, pharmacy and architecture, while in England they have seemingly avoided these fields and have gone into geology, mineralogy, botany, zoology* paleontology and "higher mathematics, Today's Woman argues the adoption of the American system and the broadening of the British system. -J. -Femlnine Gold Hunters.

Misses Anna K. Welds, Eugenie Armstrong and Maggie Farrelly of Ellensburg, Wash., left Tacoma March 31 to seek their fortunes in the goklfields of Alaska. These young women, who have been schoolteachers, have in their out fit a small sailboat, in which they will make the trip up the Yukon river to Forty Mile oreek, a distance of over 1,700 miles. Miss Farrelly's father has been in the goldfields of Forty Mile creek more than a year and sent for his daughter. The other girls were eager to seek wealth and so joined her.

New Jersey Up"to D»t«.

In New Jersey tbe governor has signed a bill admitting women to the praotioe of law. The bill was presented by Assemblyman Drake of Jersey City on behalf of Miss Mary Philbrook, who secured the names of 800 lawyers in its feyoc.
