Wherever They Go They Display Their
National Characteristics.
1t is astonishing to note with what
Obstinacy English travellers on the con.
tinent maintain English habits, how
ever unsuited they may be to their sur
roundings. Under the broiling sun of
Italy or Spain we find English travellers
asking for grilled steak or roast beef.
Of course, the steak is tough, tasteless
and indigestible, the ''rosbif" raw in the
center, though burnt outside, nasty in
flavor and leathery in substance, thus
constituting the most unsuitable ar
ticle of diet that could be taken under
the circumstances. Then the English
man will pay is Sd for a id bottle OF
English ale, which is far too heavy and
alcoholic for the climate, instead oil
drinking the pure wine of the country
that is supplied without stint md
gratuitously at all meals. These Brit
ish peculiarities have done much to de-
stroy the advantages of foreign travel
and to render the better known hotels.
which are frequented by English fam
lilies, as expensive as the hotels in Eng
land. The experienced continental
traveller who has learned to do at Rome
as the Romans do, very carefully avoids
the hotels frequented by the English.
He is consequently treated with much
greater civility, is fed on dishes which
the natives know how to cook, and
which the experience of centuries has
proved to be better suited to the climate
and economies something like so per
cent. on the cost of living. On the
other hand, he may have to content him
self with a very small washing basin
(the introduction of English habits in
the matter OF personal ablution Is much
needed), and the drainage OF the hotels
may leave much to be desired; never
theless, even in this last particular inn
provements are being effected every day.

JUST A LITTLE OFF.

The Bucyrus Daily Forum wants the
federal constitution changed because the
Senators are elected too long before
being called to take their seats. II says:
Senators are usually chosen about
two years before their terms begin and
representatives about thirteen months.
For instance; j. b. Foraker was elected
senator in January, 1896, but he will not
be able to take part in the proceedings
Of the chief national legislative body
until December, lS07-belng twenty
three months after his election"
The Forum is in error on two points,
First, Senator Foraker becomes senator
on March I, 1897, and draws his salary
from that time. Second, outside of Ohio,
Maryland, Kentucky, Iowa, Mississippi,
and Oregon, every state in the Union
elects their Senators in January, and

The marvellously large vote polled on

election, indicates Democratic victory on
April 6. There was no contest on the

there were 200 Democratic voters who
