where she was to be married. The perfect
security in which she lived among such
crowd of men had really respectable and
touching character. She made no fuss
about sleeping in the same wagon, and, as
soon as our heads were on our respective
pillows, we used to tell stories through the
partition. She spoke French fairly dis
tinctly. Her beauty was perhaps of the
acquired taste variety. She had some
what thick, though tempting lips; still, she
spread a resistless charm about her. The
other ladies, whose society luck had de-
creed that we should enjoy for eight days,
were quite as interesting, and had none of
the simpering and coquetry which is usu-
ally affected by European ladies. They
are much more encyclopaedia than in our
countries; they discuss politics without
pedantry, and are thoroughly well in
formed on contemporary events"
Continuing along the same line the
Frenchman makes an analysis of American
womanhood which is decidedly entertain
ing. He says: "The American woman is
generally respectable; but when she ceases
TO be, her education, her intellectual su!
periority, and her natural daring make her
the most seductive, that is to say, the most
dangerous, of adventuresses. In the great
cities of America there is not a low class
coureuse who is not well up IN the litera-
ture and politics of her country. Miss Ada
Menken, who played the mute role of
ecuyere in the drama 'Fugitives,' at the
Gaiete, was also lecturer and an author
ess. In our latitudes the education of an
actress of that description would be just
about sufficient to enable her to decipher
the love letters that iutter down from the
third gallery, and ten times out of twelve
she would only be capable of replying to
them by nod of the head. The scandal
provoked by the correspondence between
the nephew of the czar and Miss Black
ford showed that, if she had no scruples,
this adventures was not lacking in educa-
tion or wit"

SENATOR VEST NOT CHEERFUL.

1t is evident that "our friends the enemy"
have not yet regained their composure since
the election of Mckinley. They are "jang
led out of tune and harsh" and are in
clined to lose their tempers. Senator Vest
is notably sour and takes little pains to
conceal tho fact that the iron has entered
his soul and rankles there. He uncorked
some of the vials of his wrath in the sem
ate the other day and tried TO be vitriolic,
but It is plain that the little giant is los
ing his uld-time grip in this respect. 1t
was the tariff that had to bear the brunt
of the senator's rage, but this is not a new
experience for the tariff. It has been there
before. He declared protection is far more
deadly than the opium habit, and If this re-

Indian depredations on our camp. Later I
discovered that il was because of the chol-
era breaking out among them. 1 remember
two soldiers coming in with the mail es-
cort one night, and of their sergeant rep
rimanding them for getting drunk. The
next morning they stole two horses and de-
serted, but about noon of the same day one
of them came into camp on foot and said
that the Indians had attacked them and
that his comrade was lying wounded on
an island about twelve miles up the river.
The sergeant took six men and, with my
self. started to rescue the poor fellow.
When We arrived opposite the island the
wounded man made signs to us that his
right arm was useless and that he could
not swim. The sergeant called for volun-
teers to swim across to him, but not

The Cabinet.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
There is still in progress a deal of guess
ing as to the cabinet. AS a matter of fact,
nothing has developed to warrant any
guess yet made. Evidently the president
elect is doing as his predecessors have gen
orally done. waiting. Why should there be
any haste in announcing cabinet? There
are still two months and half until the
list is sent in TO the senate.
To a recent caller from Chicago Major
Mckinley said: well, suppose you have
got a cabinet for me in your pocket" The
natural inference from that bit of pleas
antry is that he has received deal of ad-
vice from visitors as to putting this or that
man in his cabinet. Occasionally delega,
ton has gone to see him on that errand,
and made no secret of it. 1t is not to be
supposed from this bit of pleasantly that
Mr.. Mckinley objects to these suggestions.
On the contrary, it would be unfortunate
if his callers did not feel free to express
their opinions on the subject.
A cabinet is often called the presidents
official family, and such it is, but that
really means that it constitutes the right
hand of the executive. There are eight
cabinet positions. These eight men are not
so many chief clerks. good cabinet Off
Ger is a veritable head of his department
and a trusted counselor on all questions
of state.
1t is not unlikely that William Mckinley
will experience very considerable difficulty
in getting cabinet to his mind. His speech
at the Marquette banquet last winter war
rants the opinion that he has very high
estimate of the Importance of the cabinet,
and would like to surround himself with
the very ablest men of the country. He
thought it greatly to the credit of Lincoln
that he pursued that policy in the make
up of his cabinet. But Grover Cleveland
has treated his cabinet as aids-de-camp,
not corps commanders, and General Har-
rison leaned too much that way, although
not so far as his predecessor and success
or. The position has been somewhat cheap
ened. This is unfortunate. 1t is to be ex-
pected that under President Mckinley
there will be return to the old and le-
gitimate idea of the dignity and import
ance of the cabinet. so that a senator would
regard it promotion, and not a stepping
down, to go from the senate chamber to a.
portfolio,

BY All Means Find Out.

From the Chicago News.
Aside from such promptings as inevita-
bly, arise from motives of humanity it
would be an excellent thing for congress
to find out how Maceo died, if he is dead,
simply for the sake of the precedent it
would establish.
Up to this time, it should be remembered.
nobody has been able to find out anything
with definiteness in respect to Cuba It is
still quite doubtful whether Maceo is dead
and if he is dead the manner of his death
is entirely a matter of conjecture. The of
fetal Spanish account of his taking off can,
of course, be rejected at once as highly i'm
probable. The circumstances, as this ac-
count describes them, are not in them
selves incredible, but it IS a safe rule that
people who are engaged in suppressing
news are not at the same time engaged in
disseminating the truth. The Spanish press
censorship Constructively gives the lie TO
the Spanish official bulletins. Aside from
this account there are some four others,
none of which seems to have originated
any nearer to the scene of the alleged
death than Key West
If congress can find out how Maceo died.

Hn. PETER Been rrininr,

From the New York Sun.
Without any visible necessity and prob
ably on general principles. or with a view
to perfecting the record. the Hon. William
Alfred PETER arose in the senate yesterday
and remarked with genuine but apparent
ly superfiuous, emotion that the people OF
Kansas are brave. generous and honest"
No doubt they are, and so is Mr. PETER
himself. and as he is now on the yery-
anxious seat as n candidate for reelection
and some of the wicked are conspirin-
against him, there can be no better time
for him to celebrate the people of Kansas
and to scatter taffy with tuIl hands As
matter of statistics it is important lu
record that yesterdays speech made the
43Sth which he has delivered in the SEN
ate. In his recommendation of himself to
the Populists of the Kansas legislature he
puts his 4S7 speeches among his chief titles
to another term. Now he can boast OF 43S
and with reasonable industry he ought to
reach $50 by the end of the week No COM
plant of neglect of his opportunities for
expressions can be made against him. He
has done we'll. and the 500 mark is not far
away from him. But according to his own
census he has only proposed ninety-four
amendments and has only introduced 2O2
bills and joint resolutions. In these points
his performance cannot be regarded as sat-
isfactory.
Any Populist statesman who really val
ues himself and possesses any knack OF
destruction or construction ought to be
able to propose at least 1000 joint resoIu-
tions and 1,2S2ia amendment to the consti-
tuition of the United States in each short
session What has PETER been doing?
Have we been deceived in him all this
time? Why, his bills for an irredeemably
bad currency ought to be more than SO "A
year. And he has submitted only eighty
seven reports. Jerry Simpson would have
made it an even hundred at least. Il
seems, however, that the Populist constit-
uents are fully as much at fault as the
senator is. They have only given him 3Oi
petitions to present. Three hundred and
six petitions and no more! And yet these
thinkers want to change about everything
there is in the country and stand the con-
stitution on its head. They are not worthy
of PETER, and he will only serve them
right If he never makes another speech or
brings in another bill to save the country
and for other purposes. "a

TELLER AND THE TARIFF.

Senator Teller, in the discussion OF the
Dingley measure in the senate last
Wednesday, was not as frank and out
spoken on the subject of a protective duty
as he was in his talk at the national Re-
publican convention at st. Louis. While he
much desires to see a return of prosperity
he is of opinion that prosperity can only
be secured by decent financial system"
which, to his way of thinking, of course,
means free and unlimited coinage of silver
at 16 to l. Mr.. Teller declined to say that
he would support a Republican protective
measure. but the inference may be safely
drawn that he will not, since he has gone
over to the Bryan party, which fayors abb
soute free trade.
On the third day of the Republican con-
vention, on the 18th of last June, Mr.. Tel
Ter made a speech in the course of which
he said: Mr.. President, there is beau
tiful provision in this platform about the
tariff =. subscribe to that. ! believe
in a protective tariff. l have advocated it
for forty years. . The tariff principle is
for the raising of the price of human toll;
It is for giving to the producer ampler COM
pensation for his labor" If this is true
II SHOULD not ne ulllltuil LOT OHe with ltlt
high, patriotic motives Mr. Teller pro-
fesses to advocate such a provision. New
ertheless knowing the beneficent effects of
a protective tariff which he has advocated
for forty years, the Colorado statesman de-
clines to commit himself to the support of
a measure TO give the producer ampler
compensation for his labor"
And yet Mr.. Teller ought not only to advo-
cate and support protection to home indus
tries, in accordance with his convictions
for many years, but he should alsoyconsent
10 all sound money measures. He is, in
fact, pledged to do so. In that same
speech he solemnly declared that while he
did not believe the country would favor
the present financial standard he would
nevertheless acquiesce If it did. IF the
American people," said he ARE in favor of
that, have nothing to say. l must sub
init to the majority vote and the majority
voice in this country of ours"
The result OF the popular decision of the
financial question at the last election is not
unknown TO the senator from Colorado.
The American people are in favor of the
gold standard by an overwhelming ma
jority and Mr.. Teller should submit as
lie said he would. be a good Republican
once more and stand up for the protection
which he has advocated for forty years.
