Gould to an empty-headed member of
the so-called French aristocracy, nick
named Powder Puff by his acquaintance
in Paris. Miss Letters intended is a
member of the British parliament, the
author of several books, and without
prospects as the heir to the title and es-
tate of Lord Scarsdale when she accepted
him. Nevertheless where immense for
tunes have been accumulated in this
country out Of the products of American
genius and labor it will generally be con-
ceded that they should be spent here.
and her noble youth that our girls
should give the lie to the word democra-
cy, and constantly struggle for the honor
of European title, however empty of
real worth. If we are not doing business
under fraudulent representations, first
set up by our forefathers who landed at
Plymouth and jamestown, and after
wards affirmed by the trainers Of the
declaration and constitution, who sol.
emnly affirmed that all men are born
equal, we should bring our daughters up
with wholesome respect for American
institutions and American men and wo.
men, and teach our sons not to pros.
trate themselves before every foreign
princeling that lands on our shores.
This last offense against good taste has
been witnessed in this county time and
time again. When the Prince of Wales
made his trip to this country and after
wards Prince Alixis, of Russia, and ther
Prince George, of England, the American
apers of royalty could hardly go tC
sufficient lengths to show their intense
admiration for the European system
which we are supposed in this country
to abominate But the world and dem
ocracy move foreward whether the silly
contingent in America realize i
or not. The rights of maj
are growing more sacred eacl
year and the European aristocrati
classes are gradually slipping their holC
on public confidence. There will be
few more kings in England, German,
and elsewhere, perhaps, but the close O
the next century will probabl
not see one on the face G
the earth. In fact it is becomin
the fashion in Europe as well as in tn
United States to ask man, not who hi
grandfather was, but what he himsel
1 calls for, and to credit person Of aristc
r cratic lineage with precisely the amour
he makes the world better for hayin
: lived in it.

arrived French artistic a beauty will be dis
appointed at first. After little they will for
get their disappointment, and by the time they
have become accustomed to the peculiar charm
of the actress they will wonder that they ever
stopped to think whether she was beautiful or
not. She possesses in high degree that rare
attractiveness that supersedes any beauty which
is not coupled with 1t; a grace OF manner,
speech and action absolutely engrossing,
which, instead of being measured by any
standard establishes standard in itself. In
person the French woman is of medium height
and seems to be scarcely that, because of her
plumpness and breadth of shoulders. She is a
brunette with dark hair and luminous brown
eyes, Her features are not regular and her
mouth is rather large and humorous in its ex-
preston, but her face is characterized by a
wonderful piquancy and mobility of express
SION Her movements are graceful and quick,
rather the unconscious graeefulness of an ami
NAL than of subject trained to studied move

ly-she shows very even, white teeth, and her
speech is made doubly expressive by gestures.
WILSON AND SPRINGER.
IN. Y. SUM-
There were two men who sat In congress on
the 4th of March who were the target of all
eyes, and whose familiar faces will be seen in
| the House no more. One was Prof William
| L. Wilson, who will become postmaster-general
cuperate under the eyes of Isidor Straus, who,
serving his one term as congressman, has been
noted as the constant guide, philosopher, and
| friend of the ways and means committee. The
other was William NJ Springer, of Illinois, and
every one who looked at him regretted that he
will not answer the roll call when Con
gress meets again. Mr.. Springer is q
man of constant good humor, polite
ness, kindness of heart, and loyalty TO his
| friends. He is too sanguine for a political ol
congress leader, and too ready to believe every
thing the politicians tell him, but he has beer
for many years deseryedly popular with mel
of all parties and all classes, and the hundreds
of people who looked at him today, sittinl
smiling in his seat, with the famous rose still
fresh in his lapel, wondered what Presiden
Cleveland would do for him. He has mad'
Wilson postmaster general" they SAID, an'
Mat Ransom minister to Mexico. Now wha
appointment will the ever.sanguine, ever
faithful, and ever-loyal Mr.. Springer get2'

The Fifty-Third Congress.

One good law of prime importance is
as much as any ordinary congress sue
ceeds in placing to its credit, is the sage
observation of the Chicago es-Herald.
The first two or three congresses, and
perhaps as many more during the epoch
of the civil war, undoubtedly accom-
plished more under the urgency and spur
of the times when they were sitting, but
most congresses have done less.
The congress which has just passed
from the stage has surpassed the aver
age. 1t has enacted at least one law Of
prime importance-the new tariff law.
While it did not make so much progress
in the direction of free trade in framing
this law as had been expected by most
people, yet it did make decided progress.
1t made distinct departure from the
protective policy which had prevailed
for thirty-three years. During all those
years there had been almost uninter-
rupted progress from protection to higher
and higher protection until the climax
was reached in the Mckinley act Of 1890.
The late congress not only called halt
upon this movement, but it began a
march backward toward commercial and
industrial liberty, and it made good
advance for a first one. 1t put the coun-
try in motion toward freedom and the
impulse which it gave will not be lost.
That impulse may not seem to be opera
tive for the time being, but visible results
will be seen as soon as the country be-
gins to perceive the beneficial effects OF
the greater measure of freedom it now
enjoys. Then the march will be resumed,
not to cease until this is at least as free q
country commercially as it was during
the democratic days from 1857 to 1861
If the late congress has dole no Other
great thing it is at least entitled to credit
for refusing to do many bad and doubt
full things. Among the bad are thu
numerous grabs which at one tim,
threatened to swell the appropriation
for the next fiscal year to a total un
equaled in the history of the country
Every grab of any great magnitude, wit
the exception Of the sugar bounty only
was defeated during the closing hours Q
the session, and to the democratic hous
belongs the credit
Among the doubtful measures whic
have fallen, for the time being at leas
are the pooling bill, the Nicaragua cant
bill, the Hawaiian cable appropriate
and number of more or less question
able measures Of currency reform. Thes
can wait
For some things, such as voting tn
sugar bounty, refusing needed reli'
to the treasury, and neglecting
pass the free ships bill, the late congre'
is not to be praised. But on the who
it has done more good and less harl
than any other congress for many year
Even those who now find nothing goo
to say of it will give it credit for its gre'
work of setting in motion the car
practical tariff reform before many yea
have passed away.

Down With the Novel UP With the
Bicycle.


Lady Henry Somerset said in her New
York lecture that she considers the Eng
lish woman more advanced along intel
ligent lines than her cousin in the
United States. We quote one of her OBJ
servations:
| deprecate what is called the womans
novel, which really harms rather than helps
the movement. / believe that when this
movement is better understood, we shall see
the end of womans novel. An important as.
pect of the matter is the realization of the
necessity of physical culture for women as
well as men. The use Of bicycles by girls is
causing a revolution which is likely to build
up a very new style of woman to be the mother
of the sons and daughters of the future.
Everybody of observation will agree
with Lady Somerset on both PROPOSE
tions, Allnovels are not bad and many
of them do good in the world. And we
are not down even on the the constant
imbiber of cheap and trashy novels until
all the facts are examined in each case,
for the women who read them are often
denied by their husbands any compan-
ionship worthy the name or any other
more rational amusement. But such
novels undoubtedly do great deal OF
harm in the world, especially with girls,
sapping the intellectual strength ofmany
a virile mind and filling many head
with false notions of life.
As to the bicycle it has undoubtedly
come to stay and its sphere of usefulness
is broadening every year. 1t will do yet
more good to weak-chested, anamic and
under.exercised girls-when they learn
to sit upright on the seat.

IT is amazing that on swell social DC
casions, like the Gould wedding, people
present themselves at the door and seek
admission although not invited. Be-
tween twenty-five and thirty such frauds
we're shown TO the sidewalk on the above
occasion. During each of the recent card
receptions which the president each win
ter gives to the army and navy, diplo-
matte corps and other dignitaries of the
government, it is estimated that fully 800
people, not invited, wormed themselves
In and elbOwed the guests out of counte-
nance, creating great crushes, whereas
without them there would have been
room for everybody. The Chinese min
lister experienced the same difficulty. A
veritabe mob overran one Of his recep-
tions two or three years ago and turned
a swell society event into fiasco. We
are glad indeed that the specimano OF
GF this genus who ran up against Geoge
Gould we're taught the wholesome lesson
that there is such a thing, even in boom
ing America, as family and personal
privacy. One would not think there is
ANYBODY who needs the lesson that he
is not to 90 to wedding unless bidden
Nor would one think there is anybody
who needs to be told that he is not tC
pick his neighbor's pocket. But un
fortunately there are.

coNKELL,s MURDERER.

Now Leetonia people have it that Weitzeman
is entirely innocent Of ]. Ii. Conkell's death.
The prevailing opinion is that Conkell was
drugged in saloon, robbed and then hauled
off and murdered in cold blood TO hide the rob
bey. A witness has been found who testifes
that he saw wagon leave certain
saloon about II o'clock on the night that Con-
kell disappeared 1t is now asserted that new

tigation began at Leetonia the suspected man

of the year. 1t takes but sixteen votes
in joint session to elect a senator to sue

who has made creditable record, is the
regular caucus nominee and has nine
votes to his credit. But Addicks, mil
honaire gas monopolist, who recently
won an unenviable notoriety through
the suit his wife instituted for divorce,
has six votes which stick to him and
obey his order in such an unquestioning
way as to indicate that they have beer
