Royal Hiehness ingratiated herself in the afec-

surprise when the many excellent qualities. both

Princess, are borne in mind. This interest IN

Is not matter of idle curiosity, but is an ex-
preston of the devotion of the people, in encour-
aging which there can be nothing but good. The
secrecy observed in reference to their slight all

of severe illness, should in the future be aban-

SOCIETY woman, recently returned from
abroad, says of Princess Beatrice, whom she
saw in London: "She is charming woman in
appearance, with brown hair large. soft brown
eyes and beautiful figure. Her pictures are
very unlike her and do her great injustice. Her
face in repose is rather sad, but when she is
talking her features wear the most animated ex-
preston and are lighted up with a very winsome.
sunny smile. She has less of the heavy German
makeup about her than some of the other mem
bers of her family and her manner is far more
pleasing than that Of any of the titled ladies

THAT Mr. Cleveland had no great admira

THAT Mr.. Cleveland had no great admira-
ton for Mr.. Hendricks is not secret That
is a recognized fact the country over. The
special and particular admirers and advocates
of Mr.. Cleveland could find no language strong
enough in which to express their detestation
of the candidate for the Vice-presidency. But
it is hardly the thing for Mr.. Cleveland to
carry his dislike of Mr. Hendricks to the extent
he has, especially after his death. The COM
monest courtesy and regard for the proprieties
would have suggested certain things to the
President. But it is well understood that to
have been close friend of Mr.. Hendricks is
a bar sinister in the estimation of the admin
istration. The friends of Mr.. Hendricks are
left to cool their heels on the outside, while all
the Offices that have been given to Indiana
have been to those Democrats not identified
with the late Vice president Mr. Cleveland
is very obstinate man.

by Congress of half million dollars toward
the construction of a monument in New York

an appropriation is made, it should be for the

ENHANCEMENT and reform have been
among the watchwords employed by the
Democrats during the past twenty years, yet
it is said that Senator Voorhees, is very angry
over the report of Deputy Commissioner of
Internal Revenue Rodgers who recommends
that the salaries of certain revenue officers in
Indiana be reduced. What was regarded as
corrupt and extravagant in Republican admin
istrations becomes shining virtue when
Democrats are involved.

gress can hope to retain his seat in face of a
majority opposed to him politically unless his
majority counts well up in the hundreds. The
Republican, for instance, who has been re-
turned by a majority of 100, 200, or even 300
in some instances, cannot feel certain that he
will be allowed to hold his seat. The commit

most inevitable contest is brought, will dis
cover sufficient reasons for BUSTING the man
elected and admitting the candidate who was
defeated at the polls. 1t was so in the con-

late day in the session and his place given to

to do to make his way to Congress is to set up

penses of contest to the one bringing suit, so
that the expense of both parties to it are paid
out of the public funds. This money should
be called fund for the encouragement of
election contests by mon not elected. This
feature of this growing evil should at once be
