FRIDAY EVENING, FEB. "a. 1898.

THE NEW YORK World says: The
democratic party is about to come into
control of both houses of Congress,
upon pledge to the people that it will
reduce taxation. The people
demand tax reduction. Grov-
err Cleveland is not going back to the
White House any too soon." While
all of this is true, it is nevertheless
strange, for both the Ijiorid and Mr.,
Cleveland, no matter how much they
may, or may not, be in favor OF an early
extra session of Congress for the pur-
pose of repeating the silver bill, are ut
terly opposed to such a session for re-
pealing che Mckinley bill, though 1t is
the latter that imposes the taxes against
which the people protest, and that MI
Cleveland and the national democratic
convention promised to repeal at the
earliest possible moment.

preparations for Royal Visitors.

Mr.. Ward McAllister gave some
interesting information last night with
regard to what New York society
would do in the way of welcoming dis
tinguishcd visitors who might come
here for the Worlds Fair. Mr.. Meal
lister said he was asked to arrange Il
ball at the Waldorf Hotel. in Fifth
avenue, for the spring. but lad not seen
his way clear to do so. Mr.. f. Boldt,
who had the lease Of the hotel, vas
very anxious that the stamp of fashion
should be put on the house by an en-
tertainment given under the auspices OF
Mr.. McAllister.
'But | can't do it now" remarked
Mr.. McAllistcr "You see the difficult
tv is that ladies who are in society have
no ball dresses in the spring. They
have worn them all during the winter
and they never want to get new ones
until the autumn.
"Ofcourse." continued Mr.. McAllis-
ter, ''this year will be exceptional, and
| may give ball at the Waldorf after
all. So far as l know no special ar
engagements have been made for the re-
ception Of European aristocrats who
may visit us this year. For some time
| have been in correspondence with a
number of English noblcmen who in
tend to come here 10 the fair. There
will be a great many of them-more
than the public has any idea of. l am
not at liberty to mention names, but
they will be notable people.
Il have advised MY English friends
to come in June or not later than July.
Some may arrive even earlier. New
York society will visit Chicago in June
so as to be able to get TO Newport in
July, and it will be a good thing for
English and foreign aristocrats to see
Newport in July and August, when it
is ut its best. Struggling British noble
men will probably come here later, after
the Goodwood races and the Cowes re-
gatta. Hoi poloi will crowd Chicago
in September, but not the fashionables,
who will probably see the fair in half
finished condition, as all the exhibitions
are for months after they open.
Royal visitors, such as the Princess
Eulalie and her husband, will certainly
have special attention, although no re-
ception arrangements have as yet been
made. Representing, as the Princess
will, the government of Spain, grand
dinners will be given in her honor, pos
sibly ball and fete champetre either
at Jerome Park or Morris Park
Mr.. Diodati Thompson, who was pres
ent during the interview, remarked that
the Princess Eulalie was related to the
Count de Paris, whom ne had met
abroad, and was aunt to the boy King
of Spain. He said further that he I'M
dersteod that the Princess would go to
Cuba and sail thence in a Spanish man.

to make the Princess stay in the United
States a pleasant one. you may be quite
sure of that. ~. Y. Herald.

A GREAT jubilation has been made
over the fact that Mr. Harrison went all
the way to New York i'll blizzard and
hoisted the American flag over an
English-built ship, so that of all the
many steamship lines between this
country and foreign ports, there is now
one that at least calls itself American.
If the existing tariff and antiquated
navigation laws were repealed, so that
American ship owners would be on an
equality with their foreign competitors,
there would be great and immediate
revival of the American marine, there
would be southern as well as northern
ship-owners, and American produce
would be shipped on American yes

NAVAL OFFICERS EXPENsEs.-The
fear expressed among naval officers
that they may be out Of pocket if for
eign navies take part in the proposed
Columbian naval review is based upon
some experience abroad, where U. S.
officers with no government appropria-
ton for social entertainment found it
necessary to return the courtesies Of
foreign navies. To cruise in the Medi-
terranean with a rich admiral COM
handing the flagship is regarded as a
privilege by most naval officers, for the
sdmiral bears the expense of any elabo-
rate entertainment, and the ships ex-
change civilities with the payies of all
nations. The Russians, by the way,
are still esteemed the most dangerous
hosts or guests upon conyivial occa-
sions.-N. !, Sun.
