New York Hospitality.

The hospitality Of smaller places Is
rare II not unknown In New York.
Hospitality there IL different and tends
to be swamped by numbers and even
chilled into an apparent Indifference
that is really compelled by circum-
stances. Often 1t makes brave fight
and never wholly gives up, but 1t Is q
struggle against great odds. Not sell

gravation Of social and intellectual OPP

pie who come to live in New York SO
discourages them that they end In liv-
ing narrower lives In the great city
and seeing fewer people than In the
smaller town from which they came.
And IL It does not discourage them Il

On the Menu In Chile,

For several days l noticed the word
''panQueque" upon the bill OF fare at
the hotel and did not know what 1t
was. There Is q brand Of wine from
one Of the Gillian vineyards with that
name, and supposed 1t was perhaps
the same thing referred to, although
It was difficult to understand why 1t
should appear among the desserts on
the menu at the dinner table and on
the bills of fare for breakfast. The
best way to find out about such things
Is to try them. and the next morning,
being In an experimental mood, or.
dered a ''panqueque." which, to our
amazement, was an ordinary griddle.

perceptions that ''panqueque" spelled
pancake. called the attention Of the
head waiter to the discovery, and he
seemed quite astonished. He could
speak English well and claimed to be
familiar with the cuisine Of America.
Therefore he did not see anything un-
usual In my discovery, and rather
think he wrote the bill Of fare himself.
for he remarked In surprised tone:

Mr.. Roberts of Utah has been ex-
cluded from the House by an over
whelming vote. The able speech
of Mr.. Littlcfiield, who was in favor
of admitting Mr.. Roberts and then
unseating him, was expected to
make votes, but there was apparently
no retreat from the action into which
the House had been hurried by the
clamor of the opposition bounding
the Utah congressman-elect. Mr..
Littlefield's argument was that the
House had no right to add to the
qualifications for membership as
stated in the constitution. If it added
new requirements in the present case,
he said, next year it might exclude
because member was attorney for
trust, or for any reason.

1t is not necessary that one should
believe in free silver and "I6 to /"
to have considerable admiration for
Mr.. Bryan and the honest persisten-
cy with which he sticks to his text.
He refuses to listen to newspaper
appeals to drop the silver question
and is evidently quite sincere and
determined to make his next fight
for the presidency with silver as one
of the leading issues. For this he
deserves as much credit as any man
who stands by his honest convic-
tons. The silver question, how
ever, has been superseded by other
more vital issues, but, as the Boston
Post says, "the confidence which
many Republican newspapers ex-
press in the impossibiity of MIR.
Bryan's election because he stands
fast by his opinions of four years
ago is not far-sighted. The history
of American politics is full of in
stances to the contrary"

There is bright outlook for some
railroad Legislation next year not
inimical to the railroad interests.
The Rutland News hears that Per-
cival w. Clement will make a con
test for seat in the next state sem
ate, and it is also understood that
Dr.. Seward Webb would like to go
to the state senate from Chittenden
county. Both gentlemen are more
or less interested in railroads and
possibly have some project on hand
for which they would like the aid OF
some of their agricultural friends.
The only way to head off any such
schemes would be to keep both am
bilious candidates at home. The
farmers can do it if they wish to.
In the meantime Dr.,Webb will give
another neighborhood blowout and
the Rutland candidate may find
similar way to work his farmer
friends.

St. Adams Messenger: There is
no more call for the Prohibition
party than there is for a party milli-
ners or milkmen. The whole idea
was born of the enthusiasm of men
who have become single-ideaed and
morbid by much brooding. They
became possessed of but one idea of
the governmental function, the sup
preston of the liquor traffic, and
they were willing to subvert all the
rest of the affairs of mankind to this
one thing. The reform of individ-
ual habits never can be accomplished
by the ballot. Even the trainers of
our prohibitory liquor law recog-
nized that fact and specifically legal
,zed the Use of liquors in mans
home. The Prohibition party stands
before the nation today in no more
comfortable attitude than that of be-
ing composed Of political eccentrics
who do not seem TO realize that their
well.intentioned endeavors for HUI
mainly are literally misspent energy.
From 1890 to 1896 the Prohibition
vote in the United States fell off
one-half, and there is no reason to
believe it will retrieve its fallen for
tunes in 1900. 1t is dead.
