TRAVELS OF THE HEIR-APPOINTED A Chicago dispatch, speaking of the present pilgrimage of Crown Prince William, says: Judge Taft is traveling in high state. He has a special train, two Pullmans, a buffet car and a baggage car. He enjoys the constant services of a valet, a physician, a masseur, and a special press agent. Of course no man in the world has spent so much money in the past in traveling a 8 has the former secretary of war, but ft was then the money of the people and no one will accuse him today of being as lavish with public funds as he was when he had control of them. Yet as a mere matter of curiosity we would like to question exactly how special trains and a complete retinue of courtiers are being paid for by a man who rather boasts that in all bis adult years he has had nothing but the salaries that friendly politicians have secured for him.

Just how expensively Judge Taft traveled when he was secretary of war With the people paying the bills may be seen by his last Journey to Cuba. He was gone three weeks and the cost is said to have been $70,000 for the expenses of himself, his servants, retainers, sword-bearers, almoners, etc. Surely a strenuous “Three Weeks.” Finding himself unable to meet Mr, Bryan’s arguments, Mr. Taft took refuge in silence. He announced suddenly that he would not answer Mr. Bryan further until he started out on his speaking tour. All who care to read his speeches will see that be is not answering yet
