NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Count and
absence abroad, are on their way to this
country having sailed from Havre last
SATURDAY. They win be the guests OF Mr..
and Mrs George Gould during their short
visit here, and in all probability the
greater part of their stay will be at
Georgian Court, the beautiful country
place Of Mr.. Gould, at Lakewood.
Very little can at this time be definitely
stated about their plans while in this
country, as the exact date and details Of
the entertainments that will be given in
their honor while here will only be set
tied upon after their arrival One Of the
most important however. will be the din
ner and musicale that Mr. and Mrs Gould
are arran ying for Saturday, February 10,
at their house, No. S57 Fifth Avenue.
The dinner will be for twenty-four
guests and will be followed by a musicale
at which Nine. Emma Games and other
artists from the opera will sing, and the
KaltenbOr Orchestra will be heard in an
elaborate programme.

Count and Countess de Castellane since
their marriage, nearly FIVE years ago. AS
VIII be remembered, this was celebrated

in Fifth Avenue, in March, 1885. Arch
bishop COrrigan officiating. After the re-
ligious ceremony a civil ceremony was
performed by Judge George p. Andrews
of the supreme court. The Count and
countess left the Gould residence imme-
diately after the civil ceremony and
went to Irvington, where a coach was in
waiting. which took them to the Gould
country house. Lyndhurst.
The wedding was one Of great magnif-
cence, and while the ceremony was being
performed the street outside OF the Gould
residence was crowded and the windows OF
every house in the neighborhoOd we're
FLIED with spectators. In honor Of her
sisters marriage Miss Helen Gould gave
a feast 10 1000 children Of two OF the

We are edited by q most wise and pom
derous argument INDUCED in by the New
York Tribune" in connection with the ap-
peal OF Porto Rico for relief from the des-
olatiOn Of Dingleyism- commission is
coming on here from the Porto Rican
Chamber OF Commerce. and some OF its
members are alleged TO have said. refer
ring to their mission. that they wanted to
have Porto Rico put on the same basis IN
regard TO trade as are the present States
and Territories Of the United States.
The Tribune takes these gentlemen to
task for making such a remark, on the
ground that Porto Rico is not part OF the
United States and as such entitled to do
nestle free trade, but is merely a bit Of
outlying national property. Hence. that It
is not entitled to consideration in matters
Of tariff. except as laws may be passed by
Congress for its benefit or oppression
Il would be highly interesting to know
upon what constitutional or other reason
ing the Tribune" bases its opin-
ion that Porto Rico is not an integral part
Of the United States. at least 10 as elt
an extent as Oklahoma OF Alaska. The
island was coded to us in the Treaty OF
Paris. which. being duly ratified by the
Senate, vested sovereignty IN the United
States. If that process did not result IN
making the country an integral part Of the
common national domain. why did it not?
The modus operandi by which We acquired
Porto Rico did not differ from that by
which we took New Mexico Does the
Tribune" hold that, after ratifca-
ton Of the Treaty Of Guadalupe Hidalgo.
the territory in question was not a part OF
the United States, but only outlying prop
erty" belonging TO il? II there is any es-
sential difference between the cases Of
New Mexico and Porto Rico, we fail to de-
tect it,
The truth is that certain Republicans,
editors and others, are cudgelling their
brains TO construct some excuse for de-
nying ordinary American rights to the
peoples Of such OF our new possessions
as Wickedly and obnoXi0usly produce su-
gar, tobacco or rum. In the interests Of
the Presidential campaign fund and votes.
it is the policy Of the party leaders to keep
the Dingley tariff in lorce against such
places as Porto Rico, while hardly denying
the infamy as well as the uneonstitutionaH-
~ Of such a course. But the beet culturists
must be satisfied, the cabbage planters Of
the Connecticut Valley placated, and the
noble Puritan rum distillers of Medford
made easy in their minds. Perhaps after
the Presidential election, should things
turn out well, the Republican conscience
might awaken. and justice be done 20
Porto Rico. But for the present the in
FAINT Industries which demand the starva-
tion Of an inoffensive loyal and helpless
people, will exchange winks with Mr.
Hanna, and exclaim: What's the Consti-
tuition betune frinds?"

Pettiness in Churchmen.

One Of the most popular books OF the
year. in England. is a novel which owes
some Of its vogue to its vivid description
Of two types Of English clergy. One is
Gusley, a curate OF narrow nature and
petty ideals. the other is the Bishop Of
Southminister a great-hea tied and broad
~ sympathetic man. These two men. at
the crisis OF the story, have an argument
over book written by the sister of Gus
ley, and destroyed by the latter on the
ground that It was ''prOfane and
immoral" The profanity and immortality
consist in the mildly satirical delineation
OF clerical types. The Bishop tells Guslcy
thst his sister has pictured certain types
Of clergymen exactly as they are. and
adds:
There is in these days an increasing adverse
criticism Of us in many mems minds. TO which
your sisters mild rebukes are as nothing.

prestige and her hold on the heart Of the ma

a stronger realization, not Of our responsible
tes-we have that-but Of the education the
personal search for Truth, the knowledge Of
human nature, which are necessary 10 enable
us to meet them"
There is unquestionably a certain pref
udice against clergymen IN the minds of
many men who are not by any means r.
religious or unmindful of moral standards.
The fact that this popular novel defines
and pictures this prejudice and hints at a
reason for it is hopeful; for it will set
people 10 thinking, and this may lead TO a
better state Of things. The curate whom
the author has thus held up to public view
is not by any means an extreme type of
clerical narrowness IN most things, al

CHICAGO. Jan. 17.-At the Democratic
National Headquarters there is some Gu
riosity 10 learn the source Of a circular
that is being sent to editors of Democratic
papers In the South, In which Judge Van
Wyck, Of New York, is extravagantly

some to be an effort to revive the Presi-
Dental boom for Judge Van Wyck started
by ]. ]. Willetts. Of Alabama at Saratoga

A significant feature in connection with
the Van Wycl. document is that it is being

League. This seems to be a new anti
trust organization and but little is known

Bryan In Kentucky. - Democratic
leaders in Washington are awaiting with
feverish anxiety a report Of Colonel Bry-
ans dcings at Frankfort yesterday. The
frightful tragedy among the Republican
factionists in the Kentucky capital on the
day Of the Nebraskan's arrival there has
Sc oyershadowed the news value Of Colo
mel Bryan's visit that the press reports
have devoted very little space to him. It
is believed that he has the power to stop
the GOebel contest though there are con-
Trajectory reports OF his inclination in the
matter. A week ago a Louisville editor
claimed to have seen a letter from Colonel
Bryan advising GOebel TO drop the contest
in the general interest Of the party. No
denial OF the authorship OF such a letter
has been made by Colonel Bryan. But Just
before Senator Blackburn left Washing
ton last Sunday to meet the NebTaskan at
Frankfort he told a friend that he felt
certain that the legislature would seat
GOebel. and that he was confident Colonel
Bryan had not and would not advise
against this course. Unless an entirely
unexpected change is made in his timer
