to Paris, and when he left this post testi-
mony was borne from all sides, from
friend and foe alike, that he had carried
out with the greatest tact conciliatory
but firm policy The same excellent
qualities were displayed by him in the
not less difficult post of statthalter of
the Emperor in Alsace-Lorralne. Here
he did much good in repairing certain
faults of Gen. Manteuffel, his predeces-
sor, and administered the province most
successfully and contributed much to
reconcile the inhabitants with their new
rulers. In 1880, after the death of
Bernard Bulow and before the appoint
ment of Count Hatfield, he discharged,
temporarily, under the direction of
Prince Bismarck. the duties of secretary
of state for foreign affairs.
Mentally Young and Vigorous.
Prince Chlodwig Hohenlohe, born on
March 81, 1919, is only four years young
er than Prince Bismarck. In spite of
his relatively advanced age, he has,
ness and elasticity of mind of a younger
man. The statements of the press, how
ever, that he has also the physical
strength of youth. that he is still pas
sionately fond of hunting and mountain
climbing, are not quite correct. Prince
Chlodwig Hohenlohe. like his brothers.
is of slight and elegant figure, hardly of
medium height.
AS statthalter Prince Hohenlohe occu-
pied one of the very highest positions.
His later sphere of activity may have
been more extended and more important,
but higher he could not have come. He
has quite as many social duties to dis
charge, and that with a very much di
minished income. AS statthalter he had
an income of 10000 marks; as imperial
chancellor he had but $4,000 marks.

ORATORS TO RIDE ON BICYCLES.
Wheels Likely to Cut a Big Figure in the
Present Campaign.


Present Campaign.
Washington. d. c.. Aug. S.-The bicy-
c,e may play an important part in the
campaign. At the Republican head
quarters in this city the suggestion has
been made and favorably received that
a corps of men be employed to so through
the states of Michigan. Indiana, Illinois,
Iowa. Nebraska and Kansas on wheels,
ostensibly on tours of pleasure, but really
for the purpose of getting close to the
people on the silver question. The suS-
gestion is made that 500 or 1000 men
could in this way get at an average of
ten voters each day. ascertain just
what the people are thinking about and
what arguments are necessary to con-
vince them of the ruinous effect of free
silver. These iicyclists would. of course,
be men whc car talk sound money with
all they meet and they could be supplied
with literature 10 distribute as they went
along They would step over night at
farnhnuses. and thus have an opportuni-
ty to talk on familiar terms with their
heads. The suggestion has been for
warlsn} to Chairman Hanna.
