For the aecond tlm within a few months San Francisco baa given the world a church scandal. For thesecond tlm th fact ha been established that ; the ener.ile of the church are from with-! In. not from without. There Is no scoff j so effective as a statement of facts, T:ie satire of an Insersoll pales it lire bef jrs the cold glare of truth. The Rev. Charles ! O. Brown la an Insignificant factor in thei problem recent disclosure have present- j ed. That man should fall Is an Incidvn! growing out of the frailty of human . nature.

It I not easy to trace ! ,fc , , , the responsibility for the lowering of the standard among Christian clergymen j which has become distinctly observable In recent years. The exceptional conduct , , I required at one time of spiritual guides no longer seems to be an essential to! success in the pulpit. Whatever may I be the cause o, deterioration, one condl- j tion seems indispensable. The Christian clergyman must retain the respect of i both church-goers and non-church-goers ' , , i Church members must show by their live that there Is virtue in their doc- trine. No man would have fallen into j the way of bfe evidence shows that Mr. j Brown has followed with the knowledge 1 In his mind that he would be judged by j impartial Judges. Such a man must i haveassumed that h clerical garb would j not only ward off suspicion, but serve as - an armor of steel when the attack should come. Good sometimes comes through k. , . . ,,.!.,.

This Is the first Leap Year for the New Woman. Four years ago there were a few Inklings and premonitions of her, but she wras scarcely a fact. Now she Is i very firmly established fact, and no mat ter from whose brain she has sprung elie undoubtedly has all her weapons with her. How will she use them? This Is not a fanch'ul queJtlon. The nillent characteristic of Hie New Woman j la that she Is the first New Woman ' (there have been n any editions of her) to ' go seriously to work to make hers .-If lidiculous from a 3.nse of her duty to- ward the experimental philosophy Pre- Mou, New Women have cnlin-.d selves either to discussion or to txperl- ment along lines of last resistance or most temptation. But the present vaii- ' tty of the species is a tritie pedantic, if she proposes to a man because she wanted to, that would be one thin?. But she Is capable of proposing to a man for the sake of enforcing a principle. Anil what Is a man, poor thing, to do thn? Well, a race udjusts Itself to Its cn- vlronment, and why not a sex?

It 1 now al.l that President I Cleveland feels It expedient to Invite In ' the c.-tmplishmeni of the work the al.l j of England, and Mr. Colquhoun much i deslr.1 to insure the neutralisation of i the canal. Circumstances require that j the canal shall be neutral, for If the canal Is not to be a failure from the first and an lnimer.se burd-'n upon the l'nlte.1 j State. Great Britain must be admitted to the use of It upon the most favored nation term. But whatever may be the neutralisation scheme. It will amount to nothing virtually In time of war, seeing that such a ditch can be effectually blocked by sinking a dredger, or by the strongest naval power pUcing a squadron at either end. Yet there should 1. an arrangement li'-h d. es not in time of peace prevent u from using the great waterwnv between the i'ast and W.-st.

As to the probable effeeis of the canal, Mr. '-'olouhoun writes: "It w'll render gre-iter service to the New WorV than the Suez Canal does to the Old I It will bring Japan, Northern China, Aus j tralasia and part of Malaysia nearer tc I the Atlantic cities of the I'nited States I than they are now to England.

I'acillc littoral of the two Americas, the South Sea Islands and possibly New Zealand. It will divert little or no Euro pean trallic from the Suez Canal.
