USH HOMEWARD. An Hogira of Summer Travelors From the Continent. WANDERERS FROM ALL LANDS, Amerizane and English People Largely in the Majority—Filth toBe Seen kv rywhere In Bunny Italy's Cities, Tack Erom n Continental Jaunt, LCopyrtaht 1899 by Jamss Gor i enant.l Lovpoy, Oct. 5.—|New York Horald Cghle—Special to Tik Ber |—Wanderers fre 4 all lands are now making their way homewards, and, among them, citizens of the United States must be counted by thousands. 1n the courso of along ramble on the conti- nent 1 huve mey them everywhore, But for them and the Euglish it seems to wme that half the hotels and shows in Burope would bave to shut up. The native population or travelors from other nations could never keep thom going. This year they have turnad a stream of gold through all the great cities of the continent from Paris to St. Petersburg. Frenchmen go about more than they used to do and the Germaos wers alwi inclined to travel, but the two thorougly enterprising and exploring nations are the Americans and Engiish. Thoey aione understand the art of travel, und in their own lands, they have brought it to a degree of perfection which leaves all other countrios in & state of com- parative barbarism, 1f the hotels are wore comfortable and cleanly than they used to be. it is chiefly owing to their influence. As for claantiness, the English or Americans un- derstand where it is to be looked for ou the coutinent, He we are towards the close of 1850, and the Ttalians huve not got so fur as to pay re- gard to common decency. They think nothing of sullying and defiling their streets or buildugs. Even the chur not spared. ‘The other day, Mark's, at Venice, I dotected that it was only too easy to doit. There is an odiotis nuisance not far from the high aitar anu'tae interior of the campanile is rendered absolately revolting by some sort of abomi- pavions, Is it not about time that tno Ttalians, with all their cultivation, art, poetry and all the restof 1t, abandoned the manners and customs of the Fiji1slanders. They are 0 polite, all these foreigners, but their po- Utencss does not prevent them from acting in the presence of women in a way that a savago of decent insticts would feel ashamed of. The other day, in going from Bologna to Venice, the train broke down at a waysido station. In a minute or two each side of theline was covered with passen- gers, who scomed® to think the were in a campanile at Locarno. 1 saw a crowd of women golug up a hill to an old church. Tho men almost blocked the way mn some places, un- copscious apparently that there was any in thew habits, There is found in Italy which 1oes not reck i Nor i that all. The poison which is sproad on all the newspaper aud book stands i aistibly suggostad that there must be som Shingradically wrong in the moral sense of Jhe people. Publications of the vilest kind, mith outrageous pictures, are thrust before you atevery corner. The Milan cathedral 1a surronnded by little shops or kiasquas for “he “ale of these wares, Continental writers used to have the cooluess to tell us that it wes only English or Americans who seribbled their names on statues or pub- lic buildings. That legand is provty well ex- ploaded, but the authors try to keep it golug. We, none of us scom to bo able to look at lome when we aro pointing a taoral at a neighbor’s expense. Tho benuti ful warble of the Milan Cathedral is covered whereyer iv ean bo reached with Italian niffnes, Italian Harry secms to greatly pre- fer o hammer and chisel to a pencil. The Jrucifixes are not spared. The pictures of the Virgin and the Saviour ave disfignred in like manner. “here is oue thiag certain, and that is that continental peoplo gencrally heve cause to Ainpropriety scarcely a str questior bless the Saints in the calendar fonfhie love of travel which seizss tho English and Awmericans in wo summer. It is very Lkely that the Paris exhibition would huve dome well without thes, reasonably well, for the French have flocked to it from all parts, but the Bnglish- speaking nations have not only supplied an imnieuse contingent in point of numbers, but they have spent money at a’rato which haa at least astounded even those whoso cx- +pctutions of us were most extrayagant.

Of course we have yet to see what the United States can wuecowplish, but thoy can scarcely hope to fad any more striking center and crowning gloey for their exhibition than that wond- dons tower, which alone would make the French exhibition memorable.

Thestatement that a set of papers which were given out by Campbeil were current papers given out in advance of the exammnation is unwue. They were papers, he said, that had boen proviously used and had become obsolete, such as the eommission now publishes to the world in ita aunual reports. As soon as the investi- gation made at the time by the cowmission developod the fact of Campbell’s conn ection with the transaction he saw the impropriety of his taking part in it, and said so to Commissioner Oberly who concurred with him, and he thoreupon loft it to be com- pleted by Oberly, requesting that he get at the bottom facts.

Every aemocratic member who comes to Washington now talks about the “rights of the minority,” and threatens the majority in the Fifty-first congress with direful things in oveut the winority is nob given a repre- sentation. These domoerats have wonderful neeve. Colonel Oatos, of Alabama, 15 the only man who has the frankness to say that the republicans snould conduet their affaurs with partizan intent, but he has in tho same breath announced that the democrats would fillibuator against any final legislation in- tended to help the repuntican party. The dewmocrats ¢o o far as to even suggest that the iutercsts of tha democratic party should be considered in the mage up the comunttees, and that in some instances dem- ocrats snould be placed at the head of unim- portant comwittees. There are a number of democrats who ought to know better, and who have had experience to lead them to more profitable thinking, who even go so far as 1o suggost that it is time a regular unnority representation should be establishod in both branches of cougress. There is going to be a lively time when the house meets in December and orgunization is begun. 1t is now evident that thp democrats are fully determined to agree upon & do-nothing policy with the full intention of defoating all general lomslation of a psftisan character, ana especially to thwart the purposes of the republicans. Every republiean who arrives anuounces that the time has'come for tho publicans to take the bult by the horns, in augurate a system of rules which will enable the majority to complete legislation, while giving due cousideravion to the winority, yield no point which will interfere with the worlk before the republican party.
