THE wATCHMAN AND soUTHRON, DECEMBER 2, 1890.
The Englishman Abroad.

It 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 broilipg sun OF
Italy or Spain we find English travellers
asking for a grilled steak or roast beef.
Of course the steak is tough, tasteless
and indigestible, the "rosbif" raw in
the center, though burned outside, nasty
in faycr and leathcry in substance, thus
constituting the most unsuitable article
of diet that could be taken under the
circumstances. Then the Englishman
will pay is. Sd. for a Id. bottle CT Eng
lish ale, which is far TOO heavy and
alcoholic for the climate, instead OF
drinking the pure wine Of the country
that is supplied Without stint and gra-
tuitously at all meals. These British
peculiarities have done much to destroy
the advantages of foreign travel and to
render the better known hotels, Which
are frequented by English families, as
expensive as the hotels in England.
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 great
er 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 himself
with very small washing basln-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 IN
provements are being effected every
day.-London Lancet.

None to Waste.

The author of Campaigning in South
Africa and Egypt" gives pertinent
illustration of the virtue there is in
necessity. He had been asked by .
friendly Boer in Africa to go out shoot
ing. Accordingly, Re writes, took a
rife and bag of cartridges and set out
for the appointed spot. When I met my
friend, he said:
ssWhat have you got in that bag
your dinner?''
"No," answered, Cartridges. 81
Whereupon he roared with laughter.
"You Englishmen must be very rich, y
said be. ''They cost sixpence apiece
here
.sWhere are yours?'' asked.
3.In this he answered, tapping his
double barreled rifle.
sYou don't intend to shoot much?''
sTwo spring buck are all I can carry. !"
''Suppose you miss!'
Nobody misses when q cartridge
costs sixpence.
There was something instructive in
the remark. 1t perhaps proved why the
Beers had, in 1881, beaten the Eng
lish, for the Boer, unwilling to waste
his ammunition, will aim and take
down his rife dozen times, until he is
satisfied that he is going to get scmc-
thing for his cartridge.
On the occasion in question my friend
got his two bucks, while I fred five
cartridges and got one.

Phryeian Cap and the Knout.

The French republic, thanks to tha
alliance between the Phrygian cap and
the knout, has done its best to make its
soil insecure for those who fled from the
tyranny of czardom. Among Russian
exiles living at Zurich, Geneva, and
Lausanne spies have latterly been intro
duced, even in the guise of alleged lady
students of the same nationality. In
England alone prescribed Russians are
free, and in England, partly in conse-
auence of their contact with the quiet
operation of parliamentary institutions,
partly on account Of a change Of feeling
among the cultured classes of thei1
own country, men like Stepniak, the
author of Underground Russia" and
kindred works, who once had a hand IN
the fierce active fight against autocracy
by all available means Of irregular war
fare, have gradually ceased to be con-
nected with the organization of so cali
ed terroristic attempts. Their London
monthly organ, Free Russia, shows how
much they have moderated their de-
mands.

consent to the introduction of some

THE NEW LOAN.

The success Of the new government loan
exceeds all expectations both in the
amount bid for and the price obtained.
The last bonds which had year longer
to run than the ones just offered were
disposed of to the Morgan syndicate for,
a fraction less than 105. Some of the bids
for the recent issue were as high as 1l9
while the average price obtained for the
whole loan was almost Ill. Mr. Morgan
bid for the whole issue, but he bid nearly
III as against less than 105 for the former
loan. The result shows that there is
plenty of money obtainable in this
country for the asking. and that it can
he had On far more favorable terms by
appealing generally to the public than
by entering into a private trade with
syndicate. In view of the result of this
loan it is readily seen how unwise was
President Cleveland's trade with the
Morgan syndicate and how well grounded
were complaints made in Congress and
elsewhere in regard to it. The conditions
were much more propitious than those
surrounding the present one. There had
been no war scare and no recent panic in
Wall street. Undoubtedly that loan
could have been disposed Of to the general
public for much more than the present
one. But Mr.. Cleveland with that self
suffioienoy for which he is famous decid-
cd, against the protests of many able
financiers, to dispose of it privately and
the result was that the syndicate with
which he traded got the bonds at
ridiculously low figure. 1t is safe to say
that there will be no more private sales
of government bonds for a long while to
come. The facility with which the last
issue has been disposed of and the big
price obtained constitute sharp rebuke
to the administration which, thick
skinned though it be, 1T will probably

1t looks as though the Catholic Bishop
Cameron of Cape Breton bad furnished
abundant provocation for the formation
vf an A. P. A. society in Nova Scotia.
A few days before the election in Cape
Breton he issued a circular commanding
all Catholics to vote for Sir Charles
Upper because Sir Charles had agreed
to take the Catholic side of the Manitoba
school question. The circular was
couched in very offensive language, char
acterizing Catholics who differed with
him on the school question as "hell in
spired hypocritioal Cath olics" The
Halifax Chronicle says the circular twill
net only be resented by respectable and
Intelligent Roman Catholics, but it will
be duly remembered by people of other
denominations, and will undoubtedly
give an impetus to the work of recruit
ing the ranks of the Orangenlen and the
P. P. AZ Nor only that but across the
border in this country it will be used and
with good deal of effect we have no
doubt to strengthen the A. P A. and
add to its membership. When the
Catholic church enters the field of poll
tics and commands its fiocks to vote in
a certain way it cannot complain if
Protestants do the same. 1t has set the
example, and if it suffers its governing
priests have chiefly themselves to blame.

The Democratic State committee at its
Augusta meeting seems to have done
little but select Portland as the place
for holding the Democratic State conven-
ton. If there was any canvass of the
situation as regards candidates it did not
get out, but probably there was mono for
the simple reason that there was little
to canvass. Dem ocratic candidates for
governor in Maine now a-days have to be
lassooed aud dragged into the convention
and that process can not begin much be-
fore the convention meets. The COM
mittee was wise in selecting Portland as
the meeting place for here they are sure
to get good accommodations and be well
taken care of during their mournful pro-
csedings.
