LIQUOR DRINKING IN ENGLAND.

A lady writing to the Lonlon newspapers
from fashionable West En- urged society
DANES to abstain from drinking champagne
during Lent and give the money thus saved
to the poor. The appeal is a curious one, AMI
ihs assumption upon which it is conhien-
italy based is scarcely nAttering to the rich
women OF England. How much wine does
a British womln of fashion drink in the
course OF six wesksi Obviously the estimate
would be difficult to MAKE. The writer OF
this appeal declares that ''if only a few
ladies would put themselves bravely into this
little champagne movement during Lent
hundreds OF starving souls would be re-
lieved.n
Concurrently with this peculiar appeal
comes the announcement that the British
Government proposes this ses iion to deal
with the very serious and growing evil of
home drinking by women OF thu middle anl
lower middle classes. The existence Of this
vice is due in large measure to the granting
to retail grocers of licenses for the sale of
wine, beer aud spirits. Since this system was
established about twenty years ago the drink
demon has entered thousands Of decent
households and has stayel there with conse-
quences that are told almost daily in the
police and divorce COURTS. It's victims would
lose caste II seen drinking in taverns or ho-
tells, but il is deplorably easy for them to ar.
range with the family grocer to supply an
occasional hottie OF wine or spirits aud enter
it in the biii as tea or coff &c. The thing is
done every day in thousands of homes aud
almost the on,y way to kill it is 10 abolish
the grocsrs' licenses, which the Government
is expected TO do. Chicago Herald,

Therefore the course of Saturdays race
was the same as that sailed Thursday,
that is, Is miles to windward or lee
ward, and return. This will, with a
wind holding from the same direction,
make the distance to be covered about
~ miles, the extra ~ miles being added
through the yachts being compelled to
beat to windward.
Fully as large feet of excursion and
other boats as was out Thursday fol-
lowed the racers Saturday. and the
early morning indications were that
those aboard them would see race
worth looking at. Though the wind
was not very strong there were indica-
lions that it would breeze up before the
hour of the start.
The start Made.
The start was made at 1925 with the
wind about II miles an hour, the Val
kyrie having about leneth the lead.
This position remained unchanged un-
til about noon when the Vigilant made
up her lost ground aud passed the
English yacht. She continued to gain
rapidly on the Valkyrie and at 1880
had lead of nearly and eighth of mile.
At l2:45 she had increased her lead to
a mile and was SO far ahead of the Val
kyrie that it was impossible to see
them both at the same time in the focus
of the glass.
At 1850 the Vigilant set her spinna-
ker, con tinuing to increase her lead all
the time. At 1:10 the lifesaving station
at Long Branch estimated the Vigi-
lant's lead at between Two and two and
a half miles.
The Valkyrie soon after got into a
stronger wind than her opponent and
at 80 the Vigilant's lead was about a
mile. The Vigilant passed the turning
boat at 1850 and was followed nine
minutes late by the Valky1ie.
At 1920 both yachts were making fast
time with wind and tide in their favor.
The Vigilant was then two and half
miles from the lightship and nearly
two miles before the Britisher. The
Vigilant held her lead to the end,
crossing the line at 1881 1-2. The Val
kyrie finished at $3.50, 10 minutes be-
hind her American opponent.

HIGHLANDS CT NAvEsINK, N. j., Oct.
THE fact that the race Thursday
between the Vigilant and the Valkyrie
ended in fuke was matter of con-
graduation to the many observers who
watched the race from this point. II
was the general opinion that the start
should not have been made under the
weather conditions prevailing on
Thursday, and it must be acknowledged
that the seafaring men in this vicinity
accurately predicted that there would
not be wind enough during the day to
make a race.
Saturday was the date fixed for> the
second of the series of five races, but
the cup committee, after conference
with Lord Dunraven; decided that
Thursdays race should be resailed.

What an awful drug on the COM
mercial marts Of the United States is
the present degraded Senate of the
United States, or Senate of million
aires, as it might better be termed. Its
actions on the silver repeal are revolt
ing. When wheat was ascending the
scale towards the vicinity where it be-
longs, assisted by the lower house
quickly passing the bill repeating the
silver purchasing clause, this Ameri-
can house of lords, composed mostly
of a set of nincompoops,wind blowers
boodlers and braggarts, and aristo-
cratic capitalists, check the small wave
of prosperity and cheerfulness in
American homes by continually put
ting off a vote on the repeal measure
or passing the same. Since the com
mencement of this Senatorial buster
ing and filibustering, the price of wheat
has declined, and is now far below
what it should be. Money that eased
up by the quick action of the House
has frightened up by the tardy action
of the Senate, grain buyers have found
it impossible to secure money with
which to buy grain, and consequently
a glut in the market has been created
1t is to be regretted that this Amer.
lean house of lords is not voted upon
directly by the people. There would
be a lesson at the polls, for every
abettor to filibustering.

THURSDAY, OCT. IL, 1898.
APPOINTED AN EN6LlShMAN.

President Cleveland made another
mistake when he appointed that rep
resentative of English and Newport
aristocracy, James j. VanAlen ambas-
sador to Italy. VanAlen is as un-
American as the Prince of Wales, lives
IN this country a few weeks during the
year, has his house furnished with
English articles and in English style
only, speaks bastard cockney Eng
lish, and says that America is unfit for
ladies and gentlemen to live in. Speak
ing of this appointment the New York
World, the greatest of all Democratic
sheets, and Grover Cleveland's strong
est supporter during the last cam
paign, says:
Mr.. ]. j. VanAlen, of England and
Newport, is chosen by Mr.. Cleveland
to be first American ambassador to
Italy. Mr.. VanAlen believes, to use
his own words, that america is no tit
place for ladies and gentlemen to live
in" VanAlen, the gentleman who
paid his fifty thousand dollars to rep
resent the American nation, has got
his post. That he paid cash there is
no doubt. He comes to Newport for a
short time in the summer. The rest
of the time he lives in England. He
wears single eye-glass with a heavy
string attached. He speaks with what
he is pleased to consider an English
accent. 1t is weird, bastard cockney,
which fills Englishmen with wonder.
His sole intellectual conviction is the
one already quoted, that America is
not fit place for ladies and gentle
men to live in. This conviction he ex-
presses frequently. This appointment
insults every citizen who does not share
the conviction that this country is un-
fit for ladies and gentlemen. If Hbra-
ham Lincoln could meet VanAlen in
the flesh, his inclination would be to
lift VanAlen up by the coat collar and
duck him in muddy pond as grace
full compliment to the stars and
stripes.

1t is announced on pretty good

State in his Cabinet and that the
Judge has accepted, still we don't
believe it, nor won't until the
President announces it himself.

been having great time making up
the Cabinet and losing sleep over
it, and we don't believe that any
of them know anything definite
about it. Mr.. Cleveland will make
up his own Cabinet, and make 1t to
suit himself without fear or favor
Of anyone, and we think he will

a lfe-sized statue of the late Sena-

from $4,000 to $4,000. Statuary
Hall is semicircular hall south of
the Capitol. In early days it was
the House of Representatives, until
successive increases in the humber
of representatives made it too small
for this use and the House wing
was built and the old hall set apart
for statuary hall to be fitted by
the different States with statues of
their leading public men. Each
State rs entitled to furnish at it's
own expense two statues of men
who have helped to shape their
destiny. The last statue contribu-
ted was that of Louis Cass, which
was contributed by the State of
