CHEAP TRAVELLING.

Statements are published in Eastern
papers of the small expense that trips
to Europe can be made with. The par
ties of teachers that are gone eight or
tell weeks are able to take in London,
Scotland, Switzerland and many promi-
nent points of interest on $3.50 or $500.
and Jerusalem and the Holy Land can
be added for about $500. One young
man was able to take cabin passage,
and do most of Europe, part of the way
on foot, for $50. There should be more
encouragement in low rates and sys-
tematic provision for parties and indi
v1duals to tour in the West. The nat
ural attractions are not inferior to those
found in Europe.

Dakota, there must be singular lack of
confidence in the professions of the Re
publicans, as these two SANS are Demo-
Gratis in antecedents, and are presumed
to be such still when not on profita-
bic missions. The Republicans claim
about two-thirds of the votes, and have
put prohibition in their platform, and
the alliance has indorsed prohibition
also. The Democrats haven't said any
thing. There has been some striking
exhibitions of the devotion of the Re-
publican party to the cause of late in
Eastern states, and distrust is natural.

has often shut its eyes to more fagrant
disregard of Canadian laws, but the
trouble is that the minister has publicly
paraded the facts and insisted upon re-
cognition. Society saysit can't wink in
such light. If there had been the usual
obscurity attendant upon Chicago div
orces, the case might have passed, but
it is too notorious, and the pulpit is
hunting up Scripture to fit the case. 1t

MINISTER w. w. PHELPS.
His Bang, His Red Necktie and
Other Important Factors in His
ROnuIapitY

HIS Bang, his heu NeckC1e anu
Other Important Factors in His
Popularity.
Philadelphia Record.
Who started that absurd story about
William Walter Phelps concealing q
scar under his bang-a scar won in the
war? Whoever it was must have been
strangely ignorant both of Phelps and
of his career. 1t seems almost as need
less to say that he has no scar on his
forehead or anywhere else on his face as
to say that he was student at Columbia
Law school during the war. He wears
a bang just as he wears red necktie,
because he likes to, and not to hide
anything or to disturb anybody. His hair
looks better that way for one thing,
and then he began that way
and cannot now take the risk of
change. Once prominently before the
public eye you might almost as well
change your politics as your face. The
bang and the red necktie keep Phelps
looking young in spite of the eyeglasses
he sometimes has to wear. Yet Phelps
will be fifty years old on the Oath Of
August. A very much underestimated
man IS Phelps-because of the bang and
the red necktie, perhaps. He has Que
of the strongest as we'll as one of the
ableSt minds in public life, and one Of
the most eloquent tongues. He was one
of the very few men out of the con-
gresSional four hundred in the last year
or two who have been able to hold the
attention of either house for more than
a minute. He is, in fact, one of the still
smaller number who can attract an
audience to the capitol when the news
papers announce that they are going to
speak.
Phelps is singularly unconventional
man in small things and a singularly
conventional man in others. He dresses
Just as he pleaseS, entertainS very little,
and cultivateS a democratic manner.
He walks, although he has carriage.
He lives in very quiet way, although
he has fortune. But then, again, he
keeps his social life under glass. He is
careful of the feelings of society and
strict in his obedience to party rule. He
is an ariStocratic Democrat rather than
a democratic aristOcrat. He has few
friends for wnom he can not do enough
to satisfy him and who would do any,
thing for him. Blaine is one; Repre-
sentative Hit is another. Hits home
is the rendezvous for Phelps, Tom
Reed, Lodge, Roosevelt and the other
bright men in politics. Mrs. Hit is as
clever talker as her husband, and that
is saying a great deal. and she enter
tains charmingJy. All these friends be-
long to the smartest and gayeSt set in
society-the set which gives and takes
Sunday afternoon teas and dinners and
gathers at the Country club these warm
Sunday evenings. Blame is seen at
most of their entertainments.

THE internal revenue taxes on whisky
and tobacco the past year amounted to
nearly S131, 100000, which was an in
crease of some s7,OOO,OOO. If this was
abolished the consumers of these arti-
cles would find little saving. No taxes
are paid with less grumbling. Those who
do not want to contribute to them can
let the articles alone without serious in
jury to their welfare. Still, by the Re-
publican doctrine, they must go if there
is danger of cheapening the necessaries
of life.

An ExiIed Russian Grand .Duk

A good many society people who at
tended the grand ball at the Gait house,
given in honor of the Russian Grand
Duke Alexis, will be interested in the
news from st. Petersburg that that
handsome prince has been disgraced and
exiled to Siberia. Alexis has been con-
ducting ''fiirtation" so open and
shameless with the Countess Zenaide de
Beauharnais, wife of the Duke de
Leuchtenberg. that he mas been de-
prived of his office of high admiral Of
the fleet and shorn of his other honOrs
and eXiled beSideS-at least the dispatch
says so, though it looks incredible.
The lovely countess has been given per-
mission to leave the empire for an in
definite period. When Alexis visited this
country he was the recipient of con-
stant rOnnd of social attentions. He was
in Louisville in 1872, l think, and the
ball given in his honor was one of the
most brilliant in the history of the city.
The bellies of Kentucky We'd with each
other i'll their efforts to secure the favor
of this scion of royalty. Alexis made
good impression while in this country,
and seemed to be very much of gentle-
man, even if he was descendant of an
effete monarchy. A poor lady living in
Henry county went Insane on the sub
ject of the princes visit to Louisville,
and imagined herself engaged to HIN.
Her friends could never up to the day
of her death relieve her of the hallucina-
tiOn that she was the promised bride of
Alexis. She would frequently come to
Louisville to look for him and prepare
for the wedding. She went by the name
OF the Princess Lucinda" and was off
good family.

THERE is no great amount of satisfac-

that show that in the last thirty-eight
years the average citizen has reduced

he has taken to beer and drinks now
