REPUBLICAN CIRCUS.
Under the Direction of Dubois.
Mcdonnell and Sweet.
An Exhibition at BiacSfoot Last Night
Choice Yx'ract' fcm one OF
Sweets Letters

BLAoKFooT, Ida, Oct. Especial tele-
gram 10 THE HERALD. The great" Re-
publican rally has come and gone. Ever
since the spontaneous outpouring of the
people last " eek TO the rally of the Demo
Gratis, the Republicans have been lending
their efforts to get big crowd out tonight
to hear Sweet and Mcdonnell. The ''drsft"
extended to Idaho Falls aud Pocatello. the
officials. both state, county and federal,
have devoted all their time and energy to
the scheme, and not stone was left uu-
turned. The people responded, and the
Democrats ard Republicans were out en-
masse. The court room was filed.
From Pocatelo came the band and q
number of enthusiastic followers. includ-
inc several Of those who bolted the recent
county convention, ell having been whipped
into line and who are now as submissive
as little lambs. About forty from Idaho
Falls, including the band, took advantage
of the excursion rates, and aided in making
the meeting success.
Senator Dubois, Mcconnell and Sweet
were the attractions. 1t was a strange
sight to see Sweet and Mcdonnell on the
same platform. In view of the fact that
the renowned letter OF Sweet TO the pres
ent postmaster Barton OF Moscow. has be-
come pubic property. few of Sweets
statements regarding Mcdonnell are quoled
below. This letter was written when Nc
Cornell was a candidate Ter senator In
1890:

Does he " ant to 20 to the Senate and the
senators not know him when he enters the
capitol. God forbid. BY his picture shall
they know him. He is without an unset
fish friend in the state. Not a soul gives
breath to his name politically without hope
of reward or plumber in some form. No
man loves him for what be is, because
selfshness, egoiism ana vulgarity do not
make friendship although the invitation to
stake drink" may be accepted with alac-
rity. The state smiles at bis pretensions,
smiles at his collossl egotism and laughs
outright at his candidacy. He does not
possess one single attribute of the senator
and never will be one.''
The above is only a portion Of the now
celebrated letter Of Sweet in 1890 But it
serves TO show his opinion Of the man the
Republicans are asking The people to make
governor OF Idaho. Nothing new was said
in the meeting, simply the old harangue,
the peoples party protection, etc.

ENGLISH SOCIETY.
A Sharp but Sanitary Shock to
High Social Circles.
STARTLING EXPOSURES MADE
Regarding the Prevalence of Drunkenness
Amos AristocratIc Ladies, Many on
tho Verge of the Tremens.

copyright New York Associated Press.
LONDON, Oct. IA sharp and probably
salutary shock has been given high social
circles by the startling exposure in regard
to the prevalence Of drunkenness among
the aristocratic ladies made by Lady Fred
erick Cavendish and the Duchess OF Bed
ford. AT a church congress Lady Fred
erick Cavendish said she had been recently
staying at a country mansion where
roomy dining chairs are still used. the
seats OF which are deep.J curved to save
gentlemen from falling out after dinner
and that although heavy drinking has been
abandoned by the men the women were
becoming iuveterate tipplers. Many
ladies have recourse TO "Pick me ups"
and eleven q. IN. brandy and soda and
during the day wine at dinner and some
thing hot at bedtime. She know
a young lady VINO could not
get through the London season
without taking ''cordial'' kept
handy at tea, and after a Gel tain morning
concert lady Frederick beside her had
called for "white cup" depraved name
for champaign cup.
Lady Cavandish protested especially
against the new fashion of young ladies,
and old ones too, accompanying gentlemen
to the smoking room after DINER and shar-
ing not only cigars but also spirits. She
said distinguished physician had assured
ter that many ladies living idle lives con-
suited him for nervous symptoms which
revealed condition OF e.cohOlism border:
ing On deleriuEi tremens. But alcohol was
not the only fashionable failing as choral,
chlorodine and morphine is taken in Sc
crecy in boudours, and were adding to the
maladies of modern life.
The Duchess Of Bedford, taking up the
theme, put blame for these evils on the
straining of nerve power through supposed
exigent demands Of society until the
nerves required flip. The argument Of
the necessity of stimulation she said af
forded but the very slightest protection
against The temptation. The real remedies
was the avoidance of mischievors forms of
excitement, together with total abs thence.
The duchess maintained that '.modera

not meet tina evils like abstinence.
IL was serious thing she SAID
for the Christian workers pledged
TO fight the drinking practices Of society
to reject the practice OF abstenenc6. and
abe besought every body interested to
avoid the banter and iester too commonly
USED Ia reference to the greatest evil OF
modern life.

FREDERICK, Md, Oct. 7.-When Hon.
Charles Foster secretary of the treasury
and party srriyed tonight, they were given
a most vociferous reception. They were
escorted to the big hall by big procession.
The secretary in the course OF his speeah
! took up the Democratic charge that the
treasury was bankrupt, especially crlti-
cising vice-prssidential candidate Steven

If Stevenson is not Ignorant said the sec

says we could not pay. The holders OF
more than seventy five millions of these

| the favorable position OF saving placed
government loan at lower rate of INFER
est and on 8 more advantageous position
than any government on earth. The re-
manning seveIty-tive millions OF debt has
! been paid.
| The Democratic leaders announced that
on the fifty second Congress they would
reduce appropria tions hundred millions
from those OF the billion dollar Congress,
but they discovered this was q billion dol

nunciation OF the billion dollar Congress

the appropriations 800 900, 900 but actually
increased them 100000 Notwithstand-

Congress crippled the public service IN
many branches by lack Of adequate pro-
visions
For more than eighteen months the Dem-
ocratic cry OF bankrupt has been kept 60
ing, but at all times the treasury has
promptly met every obligation of the gov
ernment. The revenues are increasing at

year. or course there's increase of ex-
penditures owing principally to payments

the year show net gain in cash Of IS, 203,

There is a strong probability that the

empowered by resolution to visit Utah,
Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico, dur

THE HERALD correspondent addressed a
letter to Senator Platt the chairman Of

Tho Government 0yerthrown ard the Com
mander in-Cbief Captured.
WAsH1Seros, Oct. THE navy depart
ment today recsived three dispatches from
Resr-Admiral Walker, commanding United
States vessels in Venezuelan waters. These
dispatches officially confirm the reported
victory of the revolutionists under Crespo
and the complete overthrow of the govern
ment forces.
The first dispatch received was sent by
Admiral Walker Wednesday, but detained
somewhere. 1t reads: ut is reported
that engagements have taken place result
ing In the total defeat OF the government
and the capture OF the Venezuelan com
mander-in chief near Caracas. The revolu-
tionists will occupy Caracas Thursday
Soon afterwards tins following dispatch
dated Yesterday, vas received: 1.-The
president and Venezuelan minister have
Abandoned Venezuela. The revolutionists
are successful"
Officlsls of the navy department decline
to state whether or not any instructions
have been forwarded Admiral Walker. but
it is said message was sent him to re-
main at La Guayra, and to order the Con-
cord. now at Colon, back TO Venezuela,
should he think the occasion warranted
her presence.
No dispatches have been received lately
by the state department from Venezuele.
1t is probable the next step will be the
formation Of a new government with
Crespo at tie head. The statement that
Consul Hanna, while out in boat, was
fred at from war-ship, is thought
to have been an accident, as had the con-
sui been fred on out of hostility to the
United States, either Minister Scruggs or
Admiral Walker would certainly have
promptly notified the authorities in Wash
ington.
