THE PRESIDENT ABROAD.
The Idea That He Cannot Visit Fore'Ss
Soil = Mere Superstition.

~
There is 4 popular superstition that
the President Of the United States Is
Inhibited from leaving this country
during his term Of Office. bat it is su-
perstition only. The article OF tine
Constitution which relates 10 the Pres
ident contains no provision Of the sort,
aud therefore the President is quite
free TO do precisely as he chooses in
this matter.
The reason why no President has
ever visited foreign countries until al
ter his retirement MAS probably been
due to the fact that in the early years
of the republic. before the invention
Of the telegraph and before the laying
of the Atlantic cable. and also before
the development Of steamships OF
great speed, absence from the country
would have meant so protracted sew
erance of communication between the
executive and the subordinate oftlcerS
of the Government as TO constitute
what would have been practically an
inability to discharge the powers and
duties" OF his office When it required
4 month to make the voyage to Europe
and when letters and orders could be
transmitted only by sailing packets,
o.. afterward by steamship. it would.
OF course. have been impossible for
the President to visit England with
out practically abdicating his office
and installing the Vice-President in
his place. But now, when the time re-
ouireu TO pass from New York TO
Queenstown is but little more than
five days. and when Immediately upon
his landing he would be in teleSraphic
communication every moment with
his Cabinet. there exists no SatiSfac-
tory reason why lie should not feel
entirely free to perform striking act
in international courtesy.
1t is not. indeed true, that no PreSl-
dent has ever gone beyond the boun-
daricS OF his country. President Ar
thur. during his term of office. went to
Florida by sea. and although he did so
on 4 vessel Of The navy. and was there

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness /,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhsmed con-
dition Of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachisn Tube. When this tube gets
infamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and the tube restored to Its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out OF ten are caused
by cstarrh, which is nothing but an
inhamed condition Of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case Of Deafness (csused by cstarrh)

Steamer "R osue River"

The new steamer Rogue River was
yesterday inspected by Messrs. Edwards
and Fuller, and will start down the coast
Sunday in tow Of the steamer Alliance.
The Rogue River is handsome little
sternwheeler built by Joseph Supple
fer the Rogue River Trading and Trans.
portation Company, for service on the
stream whose name she bears. This
river is navigable ior a distance o. over
20 miles, and as it traverses very iich
region, the steamer will undoubtedly
find plenty OF business. The Alliance
will tow the Rogue River as far as Coos
Bay, and she will be taken the remain
der Of the distance by tug, She was
one Of the stanchest sternwheelers ever
put up in this port, and could undoubt-
edly steam all the way down from the
Columbia to Rogue River, but 1t was
thought best to send her down in tow oI
the Alliance. e.-0regonian.

An exhibition Of the industrial appli-
cation Of alcohol has excited much popu.
lar interest in Paris, says dispatch TO
the New York World. There are 60
patterns of Illuminating appliances cas-.
lily rivaling electricity, and 40 models of
stationary engines, from one with half
horse power to run sewing machine to
2j.horsepower pumps, threshers and
mills. There are parlor heaters, kitchen
apparatus, and even a small agricultural
locomotive.
NJ Sartlaux, chief engineer Of the
Northern railway, said: "Alcohol is un-
doubtedly the fuel Of the future. This
exposition forcshadows the greatest Of
industrial revolutions in the immediate
future. Ten years hence, between pet.
roleum and alcohol, coal mining won't
pay. BY new processes alcohol is now
manufactured from fruit, grain, beets
and even wood at 10 cents a gallon, the
heating power Of which is equal to two
gallons Of petroleum" "

Merry Jest of Bright Colonel.

An amusing story illustrating British
offlciaism comes from South Africa, and
will bear repeating, says the New York
Herald. The colonel of a pioneer regi-
ment, repairing the railroad after one OF
Gen. DeWet's many breakages, discovered
fine empty house. which he proceeded to
occupy as headquarters
When the news of the Colonels COM
Portable quarters reached Bloemfontein he
received a telegram which read:
&c. T. NJ. wants house,
The colonel was unable to make out
what &c. T. NJ" meant, and inquired Of
officers, who translated it General Traffic
Manager"
"All right said the Colonel. ''If he can
use hieroglyphics so can t.
So he wired back:
&c II NJ. can G.. T. H.
Two days later he received dispatch
from Bloemfontein ordering him to attend
board of inquiry On appearing in due
course he was asked what he meant by
sending such EN- insulting message to a
superior officer.

public mind respecting the scope of the
war revenue reduction bill that was pass
cd by Congress shortly before its ad-
journment. The bill provides for a re-
duction in the taxes on beer, stock trans
actions. tobacco and foreign bills of ex-
change, and repeals the taxes on COM
mercial brokers, checks. certificates of
deposits, notes, money orders, bills OF
lading, express receipts, kilograms, tele-
phone messages. life insurance. leases
mortgages, passage tickets, warehouse
receipts. mortgages, proprietary medi-
zines, perfumery. cosmetics and chewing

will SO into effect on July !, next. 1t is
estimated that the reduction In revenues
will be approximately Si0,OO0OOO per an

A Bamed Collector.

Collectors of autographs, post cards, etc.
are not always conscious of the impor-
tunacy of their demands, and the follow
ing anecdote which comes from Trieste.
gives a striking example of their failing
and of the humorous way in which the
intended victim treated his tormentor,
says the London Telegraph. An Italian
painter received letter in the following
terms: Dear Sir-I should like to ask
you a great favor and hope you will ex-
cuse the liberty l take. l am making a
collection of painted post cards, and
should feel myself highly fiattered if you
would kindly send me one with a little
picture painted on it by yourself. 1t will
certainly be the most treasured card of
my collection, as l should be able to say
that you were one of the first to honor
me in this way. Hoping to receive one, I
beg to thank you in advance" The artist
replied: Dear Sir-I should like to ask
you a great favor and hope you will ex-

one of the first to honor me in this way.
Hoping TO receive one, I beg to thank
you in advance" We are not told what
the sequel of the correspondence was, but
it is presumable that the picture post
card collector stopped writing in the
above strain to artists.

When music. TO be sweet to us, must

When uniforms with golden braid were

Oh, how those fellows marched about on

With horses prancing to the tunes, drove

Whenever that old band was out, we fell

We kept the step the bandmen did. and

And always held our corner up when IL
was time to yell.
Perhaps they made some discords-per-
haps the side horns blew
About three times as strong and loud as
they by right should do;
Perhaps the cymbals didn't clang exactly
with the base
Perhaps the "B-fats" missed some notes
and footed out of place.
But what cared we when we were boys?

THE TWO LETTERS.


The letters of Mr.. Cleveland and ex-
Senator Hill to the Crescent Democratic
Club Of Baltimore, which appeared in our
dispatches yesterday. were no doubt read
with lively interest by all who take an in
terest in politics. Mr. HilPs was by far
the more satisfying because it was more
practical. Mr. Clevelands was a good
one. but it dealt almost wholly in general
ties 1t did not make it clear just what he
would have the Democratic party do. He
said it was necessary to get back to gem
uine Democratic doctrines, but there are
questions before the country which are
somewhat different from those which oc-
cupied the panty's attention when he was
its leader.
Mr. Hill seemed to understand the sort
of talk the party needed and his letter
was that of a practical politician. He
touched upon matters which Democrats in
all parts Of the country are discussing
He was particularly careful to speak of
the great Industrial combinations which
are being formed.
What makes these two letters of special
interest at this time is the fact that both
MIR. Cleveland and MIR. Hill are being
talked of in connection with the next
presidential nomination of the Democratic
party. OF course, very few think it at all
probable that Mr.. Cleveland will have any
prominence as a candidate. lie has peen
twice President. and, besides he has too
many enemies in his own party to be a
popular candidate. 1t is doubtful if he
has thought that he is likely to be
asked TO lead his party again. He likes,
however, to give his party advice, and it
is probable that he will do a good deal
of letter writing on political subjects dur
ing the next three years, if he lives and
has his health.
. Mr.. Hill however notwithstanding his
recent statement that he is not seeking
the nomination, is regarded as being anx-
ious to be the party's candidate in 1901.
Therefore it is probable that he will be
heard from pretty regularly until the
meeting Of the Democratic National con-
vention, and what he says will have a
tendency to turn the attention of Demo-
Gratis in different parts of the country
towards himself. Just now it looks as If
his chances for getting the nomination
were better than those OF any other one
of the party's leaders.
