The Luxury for Newspaper Men.

Harold Frederick in the New York Times.
There are 800 journalists, including Rus
slams. who will enjoy official recognition in
the work of describing the coronation OF
the car. The English correspondents at
Moscow are dumfounded at the extraordI-
nary and unexpected way in which the for
eigu press is being taken care of. Splendid
club premises have beeen eNtemporized for
their use, with servants in the imperial liv-
cry, and a staff of clerks and guides, who
ali speak English, French and German.
One gathers only vaguely from the reports
that refreshments are free at this admir-
able place, but explicit mention is made OF
the fact that gratis tickets for the opera
and theaters are provided. Each journalist
and finds a bewidcrirg number of princes,
to entertain him. No newspaper man has
ever seen anything like It before.

MIR. Linney (N.C.).in supporting the cause

said were practced in the south by the
democratic organizations. He argued that
the only place where the wrongs committed
could be corrected was in the House To

Word From Weyler.


Capt, Gen. Weyler disappeared in
the canebrakes of Cuba a couple of
weeks ago, intent upon dealing the
deathblow to the Cuban revolution,
Nothing was heard from him until
a day or so ago, and it was supposed
that he had met the enemy, with the
result that either the enemy was his
or he was the enemies. 1t is now
known that no change of ownership
has taken place. In fact, there has
been no meeting of the hostile forces
The present news comes by way Of
Havana, and of course is strictly true
aud impartial, having been edited by
the conscientious Spaniard now on
duty as press censor. Moreover, it
comes frem Weyler himself, who
pauses in the engrOssing work of
preparation to take his typewriter in
hand and inform a waiting world that
he is we'll; that he is satisfied with
the operations carried out so far, and
will soon put an end to the insurrec.
ton. He also announces his delight
at the success of the new Spanish
loan, guaranteeing, as it does, the
payment of his salary for the current
month.
Gen. Weyler is evidently deter.
mined not to frighten his adversaries
to death by rushing upon them sud.
denly. He intends to give them time
to say their prayers, for be has de.
cided not to move upon them until
after Christmas, but as soon as the
Christmas festivities are ont of the
way he will strike a mortal blow at
the insurreclion. 1t is very kind o.
hlm to give the insurgents time to en-
joy themselves at the approaching
| Christmastide.

lican Senators to the measure. There
is chance, however, that some of

Although it is a Republican meas.
ure, the chief purpose of the Dingley
bill is revenue and not protection.
Briefly stated the bill puts duty on
wool and its manufactures and on
lumber of 60 per cent. of the rate
imposed by the Mckinley act of
1890, and makes q horizontal advance
of 10 per cent. on all the other duties
in the Wilson law of 1894. The bill
stipulates, however, that the increased
duty shall not exceed the rate under
the Mckinley law, and provides that
where the duties under the Wilson
act are higher than under its prede.
cessor, they shall not be increased.
The estimates as to the increase in
revenue which the Dingley bill
would bring vary between $4,000.
600 and 50,000,0O0.
1t is easy to see that this is not
such a measure as the Republicans
would have framed had they been in
entire control of the Government,
The Treasury needed much revenue,
and the President and Secretary Car.
Isle appealed to Congress for it, The
Dingley bill, which was promptly
framed in the House aud passed by
that body, was the Republicans re.
sponse to that appeal Treasury
needs are as pressing as they were
when the bill passed the House, and
the Republicans have right to as.
sumo that the President will sign il
if it reaches him. BY signing this
bill the President will not make any
greater surrender of position than the
Republicans do in passing it. In the
past four months revenues have fallen
behind expenditures to the extent OF
S32 2,SS5, 900, which is at the rate Of
over o,UUO,OOO month. Or course
the business revival which McKin.
ley's election has brought will reduce
this shortage a few months hence, but

Secretary Of states Salary.

In June, 1852, Mr.. Livingston tour
first Secretary Of State, known then as
Secretary Of Foreign Affairs,) resigned
to accept the Office OF Chancellor of the
State OF New York. We do not wonder
that with u salary Of only $4,000 he
should have said he was compelled to
draw upon his private fortune to sup.
port the office. That has been the fato
OF all, or practically all, Of his success.
sOrs; for, while the salary of the ofiico
has been for many years just twice that
received by Mr.. Livingston, $4,000. the
expenditures necessary to maintain tho
social position which custom has as.
signed to the Office are greatly more
than the salary. a Secretary Of State.

the end of four years term he has not
