The Cost of q European Trip.
Newark Advertiser.


Two persons can enjoy summer in
Europe without denying themselves any
reasonable pleasure that comes in their
way for $500 each. Return passage will
cost 1920 each. A ticket from London to
Glasgow, with privilege of stopping at
Peterborough, Doncaster, York, Dur
ham, Newcastle-on-Tyne, Melrose, Edin-
burgh, Loeb Lomond, will cost 500. The
journey back can be made by more
direct route, with privilege of stopping
at other places for SIP. Suppose that the
Journey from New York to London and
return consume twenty days, and cost,
with all incidental expenses, $3.50. The
DAYS in London need not cost more than
$40-a busy ten days with deal ofslght-
seeing. That will leave a month to
spend on the way to Glasgow, at elias
gov and back to London, and allow the
travellers time to arrive at New York
lust two months after their departure
This month, spent chiefly in Scotland ,
need not cost more than 500, and TOR
500 one can live at the best inns, and
take the most expensive excursions.
The whole journey, then, oftwo months
through England and Scotland, with ten
days in each of the cities of London,
Edinburgh and Glasgow, can be made
bv two persons for $500. If both travel
ers are gentlemen, who can dispense
with hacks and trucks and other expen-
slve inconvenience, they can easily
make the same journey for $500 each.
This calculation, which allows the widest
margin for incidental expenses, will
serve as basis to calculate the expense
of more extensive journeys. Indeed,
the tourist parties," which, however,
most sensible persons avoid, are con-
Quoted, for instance, over England,
France, Italy, Switzerland, GERMANY,
Belgium and Holland, in three months,
for $3.50 each. Two persons who know
how to travel, that is, how to avoid un-
necessary expenses, can spend a sum-
mer in any one of these countries mot
in all, of co'arse.) within $500 each.

Judge Treat of the United States Dis
trict Court in Missouri has refused the

A Bad Record for an Army Office,

A Bad Record for an Army Officer
Philadelphia. Special.-The common
pleas court yesterday came down like a
sledge hammer upon Col. A. HI. Nickerson
Judge Thayer, in the course of his decision,
denounced the divorce granted Nickerson
and continued rs follows: The whole pro-
ceeding, so far the libelant was concern,
ed, was, from beginning to end, false and
fraudulent. The charge against his wife,
was wholly false. The pretended domicile
that his vile had left him without consent
was false. 1t was fraud upon his wife, upon
the court, and | doubt not
upon the respectable counsel who
represented him. The libelant has not at
tempted to deny or explain the overwhelm-
ing evidence of fraud or falsehood by which
the whole proceeding was begun or carried
on. There never was any just cause for the
divorce. So far as the injured wife was con-
cerned, she was innocent of the pretended
charge brought against her and in absolute
ignorance ofthe whole proceeding. A great
wrong had thus been perpetrated under the
forms of the law which the court must max e
haste to redress without delay. 1t is a re-
proach to justice and to the state of Penn
sylvania that her laws upon such a subject
should be in condition which renders the
commission of such fragrant and nefarious
fraud possible. Maj. Nickerson was in this
city until Judge Thayer blu sted all his hopes
OF retaining his absolute refusal to permit
the law to be diverted from its usual cours {

There is movement in several states
to make personal property subject to its
due share of taxation for the support oil
state and municipal governments. But
the tendency all the time has been for
personal property to elude the tax gath.
erer. 1t is form of property that can
easily be hid away when no very active
hunt is made for it. The result every.
where has been the throwing on real es-
tate, including the improvements, near.
ly the whole burden of government
The case has been growing worse and
worse all the time. In some places the
taxation of real property is beginning to
assume the aspect OF literal confiscation.
This tact alone has made personal prop
erty to appear to many men more de-
slsable than the other, for the reason
that 1t was not subject to such serious at
tacks from the official class. They have
locked up their bonds and stocks, and the
tax-gatherer ordinarily makes no very
serious effort to get at them. This il
one OF the causes of the immense for.
tunes that are now being created and
the growing disparity between the
accumulatlons from real and personal
property. 1t is hard contest that has
been inaugurated but in the end person
III property will be compelled to paw it's
due share of the public burdens.
