TOURISTS IN SWITZERLAND.
Falling on In the Number From
America.


America.
United States Consul Ridgely, at Geneva,
in a recent report to the State Department
says that there has been a very marked
decrease in the number of American tour
lists in Switzerland during the last several
months. and that those who visit Geneva
are spending very little money. This change
is accounted for, far as the purchases
are concerned. by the provision in the new
tariff act which exempts from duty only
personal effects purchased abroad to the
amount Of 500.
During the spring. summer and autumn
of 1885,. says MIR. Ridgely, ''it was esti-
mated that $4,000 Americans visited that
city. and, 1t being a town of many attractive
shops, American visitors have been in the
habit Of spending great deal of money
They have spent 1t principally for seal
skin jackets and other fur garments for
enameled jcwelry and precious stones fine
watches. etc, which they probably were in
the habit of getting into the United States
as personal effects. free Of duty. This wear
the Americans are buying almost nothing.
The great fur shops are almost deserted
SO far as American customers are con-
cerned. and several large orders received
prior to the passage of the Dineley bin
have been countermanded.'

ccndnnt.
The decision Of the Iowa state cleo
ton board that the middle of the road"
populist faction have the right to put
ticket in the field under their regular
party name deals n hard blow 70 the
Bryanite cause In the llawkeye state.
This win give the populist straight
outs q status which the fusionist end Of
their party, actively aided by the
democracy, attempted 10 deprive them
of, allow them to make the canvass
under the party name Of populists, and
viii undoubtedly enable them 10 poll
many votes which otherwise would go
TO the fusionist ticket. This action Of
the election board, TO be sure, win be
received by the state supreme court in
October, but the propriety Of the deci-
sion is so obvious that IL is likely to be
affirmed by that tribunal.
OF course the election boards ruling
must be based on the principle that an
element OF a party, even though in the
majority, which fuses with another or
ganization In any campaign forfeits the
right, while the fusion lasts, 20 claim
the party name, and the name rcyerts
TO the faction Of the party which rejects
the coalition and, sticking 70 the
party's old creed, puts ticket In the
field and determines 20 support il in
the election. The men heretofore call
ing themselves populists in Iowa have
split into two bodies, one body OF which
has entered into an alliance with the
democrats under the democratic name,
and the other ofwhich hnsput straight
ticket in nomination. Manifcstly. how.
ever, the former has ceased TO be popu-
list so long as the fusion lasts, and the
element which sticks TO its principles
and its affiliations Is the only one which
is entitled 10 the party designation.
Thus the Bryanitc coalition OF 1896 in
Town as in Ohio Is divided, and its vote
ms a consequence will be cut down many
thousands In both states the populists
will this year be fighting against the
democrats instead Of, as last year. fight
