Our snobbishness About Titles.
Chicag go Record,

Chicago Record.
 Senator Berry. in his severe criticism of Governor Altgeld, refers to him as His Excellency' which is wholly un- warranted by law, good usage or com mon sense. The matter of official titles in this country is exceedingly simple, be- cause there are none. The attempt has been made several times by congress to fix official titles to government offi- cers, but all such attempts have failed, because they were not only undemocrat- ic, but unnecessary. In fact, there is a law of congress forbidding the affixing of the word honorable to the name of member of congress- and yet no blunder is more common than to use the prehX with the name of a congressman, The only state in the union that has a law on the subject is Massachusetts, which provides that the governor shall be called His Excellency," but in all other states the chief executive is simply Governor" The people of the United States, while never growing weary of defending the rdemocratic simplicity and all that per 'taiIis to us as a people, seem to have gone mad with the idea of hitching a title to the name of a man. and from members of congress down the word Honorable" is made to do service, whether the man so designated be a bridge tender or sewer inspector There Is a very simple way of using the name of the office the man holds that is not only distinctive. -hat complimentary, and good-sans6, if not custom, indorSes- -sHeh use. Mr. Cleve- land, in official circles in Washington, is .addressed as "Mr. President" and all other officers of the government are ad- dressed by the names of the office they hold. It is simply boorish to address a letter to "The Hon. Grover Cleveland" when it should be addressed to Grover Cleveland, President of the United States or simply President"

 Visitor.


 Visitor. Harper's Bazaar.
 ''I have been in America but two days" said the tallSative foreigner, but al- ready I have become impressed with some of the strange customs of the coun- try"
 Indeed What particular customs do you refer top
 Well, for one thing, 1 had not been ashore more than an hour when a spruce, ofticial-looking man came up to me. He showed a silver badge of some sort and said he was collector of inter- nal revenue He asked me if 1 had paid my side-whisker license yet I told him that l didn't know that side whiskers were taxed in America. He said they Were, and that the tax was $4 per year. He added that I might consider myself lucky that he didn't add 25 per cent for costs of collection. because 1t was my duty to report at city hall and pay tax. without putting the nation to the ex- pense of sending a collector after the money"
 You paid him, did you?'
 "Oh, yes, and I was quite glad that I did not wear a full beard. He said that the assessment on full boards was BIO per chin. Why do you have such odd taxes in America? Is 1t so very expen- sive to run a republican government ?" Tt costs quite a good deal. But was that your only experience?'
 "No, it wasn't. About two hours later another man approached me, asked me if I had yet procured the government permit entitling me to wear trousers of suchra wide stripe as those had on. It

Booming tEe Marrying Business.

Topeka Capital
 A Kansas City correspondent writes that a marriage-fee war is threatened. The justices of the peace are dissatisfied over the manner in which Judge Angle is handling the matrimonial end of his court and they threaten to give a dull season rate to all men who are brave enough to take unto themselves better halves. The justices claim that the pro- bate judge is violating the code of ethics of the profession by soliciting trade i,l the matrimonial market. Recently how ever, the probate judge has been monop- olizing the business, and they have not been pronouncing the $5-ceremony with the usual regularity. They say that when they send men who are determined to marry to the court house after li censes they seldom return to have the ceremony performed. They assert that Judge Angle solicits the prospective grooms to permit him to tie the knots, and that the judge, with his fine persua sive powers. almost always succeeds in getting the job. A justice said yesterday that in order to bring the probate judge to time and break him from violating the code of ethics by soliciting the perform ance of marriage ceremonies. there was talk among the justices of reducing the price. They will first reduce the fee to $1 and if that does not have the desired effect they will perform ceremonies for nothing.

New Orleans as Rival of New York.

Florida TimeS-Union
 Some of the papers in New York have taken up the discussion of the Chicago drainage canal-a canal that is to con meet the lakes with the Mississippi river. They say that the canal will lower the level of Lake Michigan by inches, and they express a fear that it will in- jure the commercial interests of the ports on Lake Erie. The Chicago Chron- icle says that the flow through this canal will not affect the level of the lakes as much as the aggregate capacity of the Chicago and Milwaukee water works Whether this is true or not, the canal Is a commercial necessity. By connecting the St. Lawrence with the Mississippi it will open up the greatest inland water way in the world. The canal may dam age New York to some extent. It will make New Orleans the port through which the lake region will trade with South America. New Orleans Is the natural shipping point of the central DOT ton of this country to South America, and will sooner or later handle this trade. The time will come when large ships will go inland from the mouth of the Mississippi to the mouth of the St. Law renee, and the sooner this time comes the better it will be for all the cities a long this line. -

was the same pair I'm wearing now. I asked what the blamed government would do if l refused to pay for such 8 permit. He replied that the fee for the permit was so excessively small that no one thought of trying to eVade payment. It was only S2, he said. The penalty was the confiscation of the trousers, and it would be his painful duty to take me to the nearest police station and take pos session of my garments in the name of the United States government if I man. ifested any further hesitancy about pro- ducing the $2. As I did not want scene, paid him the money and he left.
 You would have done well to let him take you to police station"
 Why"
 tYou could have told your story. and he would have been locked up on a charge of swindling."
 Do you mean to say he was not an official of the government?"
 That's what I mean
 "I3ut he said he was,
 I'm afraid he didn't speak the truth"
 But how about the other?"
 He was a fraud, too"
 "But he showed me his badger
 That cuts no ice"
 q beg pardoni It doesn't do what?"
 T said it cuts no ice. l mean that was no significance. Thieves can get badges when they deem it necessary to use them in their business"
 But who are the real officers who issue permits to wear striped trousers and who receive the tax on side whiskers?"
 '"rhere are no such officers"
 And no such taxes?" sl E
 "No."
 Then they both lied?"
 'Yes."
 Well. I never would have thought it. Do you suppose that o4hers will try 10 do me up in this way?'
