The last palace we shall visit during

the most interesting in the city; and on
our way there from our hotel we meet

feel under great obligations to him, He
Is very tall and pale, but his figure Is
grand and imposing, and he stands up
high, where every body can see him. It
is Christopher Columbus, and where
should we Americans have been with
out him! It gives US q strange sensa-
ton, in this Italian city, with its queer
streets and tall palaces and its unfamil-
lar sights Of every kind, to come upon
this statue of good old Columbus,
whom we have all known 50 well from
our earliest childhood, and whom we
have been accustomed to look upon
somewhat in the light Of the grand
father of our country. The Genoese
think q great deal Of Columbus, who
was born in this neighborho you
may remember, although they did not
do much for him when he was alive:
But there are always people who are
willing to honor successful man after

to show what he can do. At the foot

In voting against the bill providing
for commission to investigate the IL
quor traffic, Senator Vest, of Missouri,
takes occasion to say that he is oppos-
ed to such a project because he believes
that the matter in question is one that
belongs exclusively to the States. And
yet-as the St. Louis Globe-Democrat
points QUIT was for taking precisely
this ground last October that Mr..
Blaine was theoretically denounced
and ridiculed by Senator Vest, and
called a coward who did not dare to
express his sentiments on the temper
ance issue for fear of losing votes. 1t
takes a Democratic statesman of the
Vest pattern to turn himself outside
