It is the bachelor maid in place of the old maid. The bachelor maid, says the Chicago Chronicle, has her independence, her cozy quarters, her visible means of support. She is self-possessed, artistic and attractive. Decidedly feminine, she makes her own way without fear or favor. If good shall come in the form of a husband, v ell and good; if not. she is by no means dissatisfied with her present condition. This is a strange contrast to the lot of the old maid of a generation or two ago, or rather from time immemorial. The old maid was rejected of men and de spised of women. She was the target of all sorts oi jokes and had no rights of her own. .Without ways of earning a living, she was obliged to skimp and do without the ornaments oi life and the frills that made other women beauti ful in the eyes of men. She was obliged to be thankful for a humble seat at the table, and was allowed only a modest part in the conversation. The burden of things was thrust upon her without remuneration and she was given to un derstand that mere existence was all she deserved. How different is the situation to-day. A woman Is not obliged to marry for the sake of a support or to save herself from the odium once at tached to the unmarried woman. The bachelor maid controls her own home — snug quarters it may be, but an inde pendent home and very inviting. She has her circle of friends, men and wom en, married and single. She Is not set apart, excluded from good company or merely federated. She is warmly wel comed and given the best of good cheer. Surely the transformation of the old maid into the bachelor maid is more than a transformation. It is a transla tion, or even a transfiguration. An idea once obtaining in the ncr»h about the southern woman was that she „ ~ was languid, ineom llie Sunt licrn petent—lazy, in plain Woman. . terms. There never was a greater mistake. The mistress of a big southern plantation had to be pos sessed of large administrative and exec utive ability, and she had to exercise it very industriously. She held in her hands, so to speak, the government of a small nation, and she had to see that its needs were met, its sickness, death, marriages, births, joys, and sorrows had to be pro vided for in her scheme of management, and often through her personal adminis tration was comfort and help adminis tered. On the other hand, writes Myrta Lockett Avary, in Gunton's Magazine, She was relieved of many domestic bur dens which the modern woman carries by trained servants who took pride in the artistic discharge of their functions. I know of no position in modern society in any way analagous to hers, save that oi he English mistress of a large estate, whose responsibilities are not so grave because she has a more intelligent com munity under her control. "At last, after 40 years of hard work, my highest ambition is about to be re alized," said a worthy fellow citizen who began on a capital of brains and pwteh and Is now counting his wealth in seven figures. "I have bought a house before whose doors nearly every parade of consequence will pass. I can Bit in the window night or day and see the crowds go by, hear the cheering and listen to the music of the bands without having myself squeezed flat, my toes trodden upon, my clothes disarranged, my hat knocked off and all that sort of thing. Ever since I was old enough to run away from home to witness a pro cession I have envied the possessors of doors or windows along the line of march, and at last I'm happy." A clergyman long engaged in mission ary work in Turkey gives an excellent idea of the repressive censorship exer cised by the sultan's government. The latest action of the board of censors has been to cut out of the Book of Proverbs such verses as the following: "Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways." "Enter not into the path of the wicked and go not in the way of evil men." "Hob not the poor, because he is poor; neither oppress the afflicted in the gate; for the Lord will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them." DOWNFALL OF FREE TRADE. Ectflnnd'* Forniioul MiiteNiiieii Re lieve That I'rutH'timi Muat Br Kenni-teil To. Prime Minister Balfour's pamphlet en titled, "Economic Notes on Insular Free Trade," is substantially a confession that a modified protective policy may be a necessity to the British empire as now situated. Mr. Italfour says he approaches the subject from the free trade point of view, but not precisely after the manner of Cobden. His conviction is that con ditions require a fiscal policy varying with circumstances, and that the British people "have no right whatever to re gard any plan as perfect, merely because it is simple, unartificlal, and, above all, familiar." in Mr. Balfour's opinion, re sults have driven his countrymen to ask "whether a fiscal system suited to a free trade nation in a world of free traders remains suited in every detail to a free trade nation in a world of protection ists." Here is an admission, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, that, in adopting free trade, England expected other na tions to follow the example, and the world well knows that English freetrade propagandists and agents have labored hard to persuade foreign countries to adopt the doctrine. This crusade having failed. Mr. Balfour recognizes the need of shifting the point of view. Themoun tain will rot goto Mahomet, so Mahomet must take the alternative under consid eration. Mr. Halfour's argument is plainly that of a nominal free trader who will yield 1 more ground the moment British public '■ sentiment seems ready for it. He owns | that "free trade may not save a nation i from suffering more by the adoption of a : protective policy by its neighbors than do those neighbors themselves, nor even 1 from being worse off than it would have j been had it never pursued a free trade ' policy at all." An intimate knowledge of British fiscal affairs and tendencies has led the prime minister to doubt the j expediency of a continued fight for free j trade, almost single-handed, against the most of the. earth. He declares that the j British position would be still more un desirable were it not that foreign coun tries owe England a great deal of money, and that areas remain that are not pro tected. or protected only in part. Only these three causes. Balfour asserts, could save a free trade Island from a helpless ness in which all that is produced could be sold only at a loss. In that case "capital either flies to happier regions or is lost: labor either emigrates or sinks to savagery, and unless other help arrives our (hypothetical) island returns to the state of nature from which it had surely been better that it had never emerged." Not a bright picture, surely, from one who says he is still a free trader under reservations. As for the future, Balfour sees no satisfactory symptoms for Brit ish interests, and he goes onto say: "The highly developed industrial countries, like Germany. America and France, give no sign of any wish to relax their pro tectionist system. The less developed protectionist communities, like Russia and some of our own self-governing col onies. are busily occupied in building up protected interests within their borders —a process which is doubtless costly to them, but is not on that account the less i injurious to us." Therefore, Balfour's conclusion is .hat England should resort i to protection far enough to induce an : equitable tariff disposition in other na- I tions. He would do to foreign countries j "what they always do to each other, and j instead of appealing to economic theories ; in which they wholly disbelieve, use fisoal inducements which they thoroughly un derstand." So the prime minister's free trade, as he himself unfveils it, is re taliatory protection, not free trade nor anything resembling it in the theory or practice. There is. in truth, little differ ence between Balfour and Chamberlain, j Both are convinced from existing British t fiscal conditions and prospects that prcv j tection in some form must soon be re- | sorted to, and that the necessity will j present itself to all cabinets alike.

In several counties the Kansas 1 City platform has been reaffirmed in ! spite of the fact that their state conven tion refused to reaffirm this platform,! and.in fact, repudiated it. Among the j counties in which the democrats have in- l dorsed the Kansas City platform are Ringgold and Monroe. They made a strenuous effort to do so in Washington county, but were defeated. The repub lican state committee has reason to be lieve that the democrats will have a large campaign fund in lowa this fall, although they have no means of raising any considerable amount of money within the state. It is believed that large sums are coming from those who desire to see the republican majority cut down in lowa this fall on account of the ef fect it will have next year. —Chicago In ter Ocean. tE?"'Bo men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?"

A POOR OUTLOOK. I)rnii>(-riipy'a Main Prop Knocked ilaua Ity llrltiwli Mntemiieii of the i'olnlen School. In the light of Mr. Balfour's Sheffield speech and the coming adoption of pro tection and reciprocity as the economic policy of Great Britain it is pertinent to ask what will become of the democratic party in this country? says the Indian apolis Journal. From time immemorial free trade has been the party's battle cry i and England the arsenal from whence to ! draw its weapons of warfare. It has em- 1 braced and abandoned in turn scores of opportunist whims and makeshift poli- j eies and has run off after numberless ; political vagaries, but it has stuck to free trade with a tenacity that looked almost \ like conviction, and has accepted the con- j elusions of British statesmen of the Cob- j den school much more implicitly than it hasany teaching of the Bible. Freetrade has been theone plank in all its platftirms for more than 50 years which, when all the rest were wrecked and shattered, It could climb onto and drift till it landed somewhere. Although the free-trade garment was old-fashioned, ill fitting, badly worn and withal borrowed, the democratic party clung to it as if it was the latest and best thing out and the only thing fit to wear. It was English, you know. But with free trade discarded in England, as it will be in time, put off and thrown aside as an antiquated mis fit entirely unsuited to modern times and conditions, what will become of the dem ocratic party? For more than 50 years it has been marching under the banner of Richard Cobden, yet hear Premier Balfour in his Sheffield speech: "Mr. Cobden." he said, 'did not forsee the de velopments of the last half century which have made free trade an empty name and a vain farce." Again, he referred to ex isting conditions as "a state of things ab solutely inconsistent with free trade as ! Cobden understood it." He meant the modern protective system which has made Cobden ism a barren ideality. Again he said: "There has been a development | of which Cobden and his contemporaries never dreamed," meaning the develop ment of modern commerce, of which the ! democratic party takes no account, Again Mr. Balfour said: "Our grand fathers fought the battle of 1840 in view of the actual situation. I ask the nation to-day to follow their example and not to be misled by musty debates." On the question of free trade the democratic party lives in the past and does not want any better guidance than musty debates reflecting the views of Cobden. Yet here is a British premier throwing them all aside and acutally using the sacred name of Cobden disrespectfully. With Cob de-nism repudiated in Great Britain and free trade disowned in the house of its friends, what will become of the dem ocratic party in this country? SHAW'S GOOD SHOWING. Th«» u (MMIS Hunker** In U«*mon- Mtrut iuu IIIN Ability to Man nn«- tin- Money. For a man who was sneered at by some of the eastern financiers as a "backwoods banker," the secretary of the treasury is making a remarkable record, says the democratic Detroit Free Press. It is in dispute whether all hig official acts are legal and, to a lesser degree, whether they are in ac cord with the soundest business prin ciples; but the facts tend to reconcile the country. Even his severest critics admit that he averted a financial crash last fall and that by the creation of con fidence at the time when so much money is required for the handling of the crops he relieves the timidity of capital from which the first stampede invariably springs. When such results are pro duced there is less eagerness in the in vestigatiein of methods only as the po litical critics take advantage of them J for campaign purposes. A very strong argument can be ad vanced in behalf of the proposition that Secretary Shaw is the currency law. It is indefinite and uncertain at the best. Positively and negatively it is so weak as to have a wide discretionary power in the hands of the treasurer, and Secre tary Shaw has chosen to construe so as to fully meet the emergencies encoun tered during his administration of the office. His move to redeem the five per cent, bonds is legitimate, in accordance with precedent, and an evidence of good business management, and the same is to be said of the proposed refunding operations. But he will look in vain for a predecessor who accepted state ami municipal bonds as security for public deposits. Of his own motion and without any specific warrant in law he adopts an impeirtant feature of the asset cur- ! rency theory and practically applies It. ; If his law be good law there is not the \ slightest use of a new currency system, | for the adaptability of his methods is ! elasticity itself. He holds the financial ! pulse, reads its suggestions and com- j plies with them before acute danger is j encountered. It may be difficult to give j him a legal justification but, measured ! by the results to date, he is a better cur- j rency law than that on the statute books.

DUN'S WEEKLY BULLETIN. Vntn- Contraction In Trade and III (111*1 ry I* Nolireahh', New York, Oct. 17. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: While some contraction in trade o'iel industry hits undoubtedly taken place, it, is not in proportion to the reduction of ao per cent, in pig iron output, or the reaction ill prices of securities, although in normal years these* have usually proved fairly re liable- barometers. Many branches of Mnnufac! tire, however, are working full fore* with large orders still uu tille-d, while the latest returns of the ciops are most encouraging. Finance iiiiel labor are* the disturbing elements this year neutralized very largely liy favorable commercial and agricultural conditions. The net result is n fairly v.cll maintained volume of trade, oil'- set by conservatism in carrying out new undertakings and proposed re organization of facilities. Railway earnings thus far available for Octo ber are G.a per cent, larger than last yea r. Widely conflicting reports are re*- eeived as to the condition of the iron and steel industry. Tiitie is evidence that the decline iu flotations has been checked, although it is occa sionally stated that special terms are made on important ceinti acts. \ bet ter inquiry is noted in the west, pig iron being freely taken by open 1 earth steel furnaces ami makers of railway supplies, and in some favor ed lines the new orders cover eleliv eries through all e>f next year. A significant event was the an nouncement that control of the ( lair ton Steel Co. had not passed to the leading producer una these mills with their modern equipment will continue to operate independently.

Although the Attorney Itnn Some what of u It I HL In ItrtnllatluK on the Judiir, John R. Eldridge, a well known western New York attorney, recently had occasion | to argue a case before a justice of the peace in one of the small towns near Rochester. It happened thai Mr. Eldridge and the justice belonged to different political parties, had been opposed to each other in seveial contests una were far from being on the best personal terms. Each, to use a slang expres sion, "had it in for the other." The justice scored the first point, says the New York j Herald. J In a field near the court room a donkey ; was feeding. .Just as Mr. Eldridge was- in J the midst of his plea something disturbed | the animal and it broke forth with a resonant ; bray. [ "Just a minute. Mr. Eldridge, just a min ute," said the justice blandly. "1 cannot ; hear two at once." ! The attorney was hard hit. but he said I nothing and waited his turn. It caine when | the justice was explaining a point of law to the jury. Again tlie bray of the donkey re- I ! nounded through the court room. Mr. El dridge placed his hand at his ear. "Would you mind repeating that, your honor?" he said in his mildest tones. "There j was such an echo that 1 could not under- ! ■tand." Perhaps the attorney was guilty of con- ! tempt of court, but the general opinion in the court room seemed to be that honor# were abu ut even. Still Another Cane.
