THE COMMITTEE AND ITS

MED that to gravely and ponderous-
ly affirm it appears to us entirely
superfuous. Senator Pinchback
took this position even when moving
the adoption Of the resolution on
this subject in the recent Press Con-
vention. Bat Senator Pinchback
did more than recognize the State
Central Committee as Legitimate po-
litcal managers-he reserved the
right to criticize tleir actions
whenever they overstepped the
bounds of their proper sphere Of
duties. This is what ,ce now pro-

Committee for each Congressional
District; second-a judicial commit

Were we on the eve of an election
for Congressman, Judges and Sen
ators, and the Central Committee
posse sed a longer lease of life than
has so far been granted it, perhaps
this action would be open to little
unfavorable comment. But under
existing circumstances, with no COM
mon enemy to confront with moth
Ing before us but party contest

man scrupuleusly neutral, their ac-

The Russian Minister'S Wife and Alexis

An enthusiastic Reporter Of the Wash
ington Republican gives this description
of the Grand Dukes reception at Minister
Catacazy's house:
The doors flew open, and, amid the
soft light of numbers of wax tapers, those
without caught q glimpse of vision of
loveliness, but it was only glimpse. In
q second the gentleman had crossed the
threshold, the doors were closed, and
Madame Catacazy, the hostess and wife Of
his Maiesty's representative, was welcom-
ing the favorite son Of the Emperor of
Russia. The lady in all her brilliant life
in Washington, never showed to better
advantage 1t seemed as though Midas
had touched her with his tabled wand and
transformed her into a golden statute.
No, not all golden or statue either, for
amid the glittering attire the fair and
expressive face showed in marked con-
trast to the surroundings, and the arms,
barred to the shoulders were rarcr speci-
mems than even artists can initiate.
The dress was of gold color made with
q handsome train, and trimmed with gold
colored satin. On her right arm she wore
band being on the wrist and the other
above the elbow, the two joined by pair
of most artislically and deliberately
wrought chains. The other ornaments
were of plain gold, and above them all,
and completing the picture, was the
wealth Of golden hair, SO long the marvel
and envy of our bellies. This was the
picture which met the gaze of the Prince
as he entered the mansion. 1t stood be-
meath the heavy curtains that guarded
the entrance to the main saloon. The
face was wreathed in smiles, the hands
uplifted, bearing silver salver, on which
was placed round loaf OF bread, in the
top OF which was an indenture holding
golden salt cellar containing salt. Be
it understood that this loaf was not the
wheaton bread to which we are accus-
toned, but the plain, hard, (to us) indi-
gestible black bread, which, in Russia, is
served on the table of the Emperor as
well as the peasant.
This offering of salt and bread is an
old and essentially Russian custom.
Whenever the Emperor or any of the I'm
perial family honor a subject with visit,
the hostess, as a token of welcome, per-
forms the ceremony, and no matter how
often the prince has been the recipient OF
the honor, it is safe to say it was never
more graciously offered or received. He
simply took the uninviting loaf, broke
and tasted of it, and returned it to the
salver. The formal welcome was over, q
a few minutes spent in social converse,
and, at 8 ?. NJ, supper was announced,
and the dining room made the objective
point' ana a supper partaken Of
