AN EASTERN ESTIMATE OF SENATOR
KITTREDGE.

The Washington correspondent OF
the strongly democratic New York Sun
thus speaks of our Senator Kittredge
in recent letter:
''Kittredge, of South Dakota, has set
out to make career for himself In the
Senate He is one OF the youngest
men there, just turned 80, and has
only held his seat for two years, but
he is already edging into the influen-
tiaI group that determines what shall
and what shall not be done. Kittredge
is bachelor, weighs considerable over
200 pounds and has face that would

be q fortune at poker table. He
graduated from Yale in 1882 and is a
great chum OF John Kean, OF New Jer-
sey, another Yale man. He has made
up his mind that he will stay In the
Senate AS long as South Dakota re.
mains republican, and he sees no pros
pect OF q change in the politics of the
state. he spends more time on the
floor of the Senate than any other man
there. Ii is rare thing for him TO be
found outside the chamber unless he ID
called out by the card OF q visitor. He
watches every piece OF legislation and
knows what is going on all the time .

March 30 and second convention to
nominate state officers at Aberdeen,

strong in favor of Hearst for presi-

Fanits OF American Men.

While the American maiden proves
80 Irresistible to our men, her brother
finds little favor in the sight of the
English girl, and there IL very little
chance, 1t would seem, OF the old and
the new countries being united other
than through the womenkind of Amer
lea. 1t is remarkable that although.
our peerage has now been recruited
for many years back from America,
the sisters and daughters Of English
peers have shown little disposition to-
enter the families from which their
sisters-in-law and mothers and step
mothers have come.
Yet we are always being told that
Americans make ideal husbands. But,
IL the truth must be told, the reason
why they. do not appeal to English
women 10 that they lack manner, while
their courtesy and admiration degener-
ate into the familiarity that breeds
contempt. Furthermore. they are busi-
ness machines. and finally, they sci.
dom understand how to dress. Lon.
