Greece and Rome.
In view Of the complaint often heard a.
| TO what 81 costs 70 bring first-rate actors
and singers befo re the public. II may not
be unfntefesting 10 examine whether the
histrionic brethren and sisters Of older
times were really content with merely
earning their bread and tEeir laurels. To
70 back to the classic days OF Rome, IN
Ovid,s time, the beautiful Dyonisia, the
FIRST woman who ever appeared on q
Roman stage, received 10000 sesterces
per season, l. e.. ten thousand dollars.
Ph1be Vocontia came out in the follow
ing year; she received one-third more
than her predecessor, leaving out OF the
question the magnificent gifts which
those ladies used 70 get from their i'd
mirers In appreciation Of their art. ESQ

about town, and the biggest TOOL Of his
time, left his son the remains Of his for

good authority on such matters--tells US
that Roscius had 10000 sest. per annum
from tie government, which IN Rome sup

Rhapsodians, who. In the times OF Homer.

costly garments.
About the same time the songstresses
who were engaged to enliven the banquet,
In tho costumes Of Mother Eve, were

4 DEAD PRINCE.

Prince Albert Victor Christian Ed
ward, Duke of Clarence and Avondale,
whose death is announced, was the ell
dest son of the Prince of Wales and
heir presumptive of the throne of
England He was born at Frogmore
Lodge, Windsor, Jan. 8, 1864. His ia
Their, the Prince of Wales, had married
on the 10th of March, 1863, the Prin-
cess Alexandra, daughter of Chris
tian TX, King of Denmark, lady
three years his junior, the Prince be-
ing % when his first child was born.
After an education at Trinity College,
Cambridge, and at the Heidelberg
University, Victor served two years as
a naval cadet on the Brittania, and
started in 1879 for a three year voyage
around the world in company with his
brother, Prince George. The expert
ences of that tour we're embodied in a
book by the royal Prince.
Prince Victor was created Duke Of
Clarence and Avondale and Earl of
Athlone in 1890, and at once took his
seat in the House of Lords. He was

The inevitable is going on in Eng
land. The great landed estates of the
nobility are being sacrificed one after
another. The extravaganza or i'm
providence of their owners compels a
sale and ancestral acres are thrown
upon the market for purchasers. Two
ancient estates are about being brok-
en- up. The Marquis of Ailesbury has
obtained legal permission to dispose
of all his ancestral estates = of the
glades where the oak is a century old,
and the house which has been in his
family ever since it was built. The
Duke of Marlborough, too, has obtain
ed leave to sell one portion of his es-
tate to gain the means of developing
the rest. The sale of the great estate
does not mean in every case that they
fall Immediately into the hands of the

RECIPROCITY WITH THE LATIN
NATIONS.

1t is to be claimed of the republican
party that it's craftsmanship is pro-
gressive. Glorious as it's past has
been, it appeals to the people, not
with Renaissance SO much as with
new policies for the advancement and
prosperity of the nation. Of these
none is more conspicuous, more i'm
pressive, more practical or more pop
ular than the new policy of reciproci-
ty with the nations of Latin America.
Our situation with respect to the vast
trade of these southern countries is
unique, and it is from this exception
al quality that the possibility of reci-
procity proceeds. Such proposals as
Mr.. Blaine has been making to Brazil,
Cuba, Venzuela, Peru and the Central
American states, coming from any
other nation than the United States
would be ridiculous. But coming from
us they are irresistible, and the reason
Of that is because we consume, as
compared with all other nations, SO
large a proportion of their exports.
The chief products of Latin America
are sugar, molasses, coffee and hides.
An examination of the trade of Brazil,
Cuba and Mexico will illustrate the
attitude in which we stand toward So.
American trade generally in compari-
son with the attitude Of European
countries. Brazil's great crop is cof-
fee It IS an astonishing fact that of
the total coffee crop Of the world, the
United States buys three fourths.
Two thirds of the entire Brazilian
product of coffee is sold in America.
In addition to the $35, 100000 sent to
Brazil in 1889 for coffee, we imported
also -fourths Of her rubber and
nearly her entire surplus Of sugar.
We spent with Brazil nearly $6O,O00,
900 and received from her only ST.,
100000 We spent with the West In
dies nearly $s3, 900, 600 and received
from them only $35, OO0,0 900. We spent
with Venezuela nearly 81, 100000 and
received only $4,O00,O00. We spent
with Mexico nearly $23, 900, 900 and re-
ceived only $4,000, 900. Our imports
from the principal southern countries
of Latin America in 1890 were within
fraction of $500, 100000, while our
exports to them amounted to less than
$91, OOO, 900. These conditions of ex-
change are obviously inequitable.
They have never been anything else.
For many years American statesman
ship has been directed to the problem
Of how our export trade with these
countries could be improved. But it
was reserved to the craftsmanship
Of this administration to suggest the
true, effectual and quick remedy.

Cleveland and His Administra-
ton.

We have received an elegant booklet,
entitled 'Cleveland and His Aministra-
ton" The first pages of this work are
taken from The National Cyclopaedia of
american Biography, just as they appear in
the great work, illustrations and all. The
full page portraits of Cleveland and Ste
venson are admirable, and those of Bay
ard, Whitney, Lamar, Manning, Villas,
Dickinson, Fairchild, and EndicOtt are
approved portraits that give an impress
sive introduction to the brilliant men
who made up Mr.. Cleveland's Cabinet.
The text of this part of the work i s
entirely biographical, and was prepared
without reference to campaign purposes.
This insures for it extensive and careful
reading, as it is in mo sense partisan and
will be willingly read by political Apo
nents. This feature alone will do good
missionary work in Republican ranks.
The supplementary pages are made up
of carefully prepared and effective cam
paign matter. Altogether, there has
never been issued by any political organ
ization a campaign document thatprom-
ises so extensive distribution and graf
flying results as "CleveIand and His
Administration. We urge every Demo-
cratic Club and County and Town Or
ganizatiOn to secure copies for distribu-
ton. Clubs may order in quantities
through the news companies, and single
copies are on sale at every newsstand.
