WE' BE NOT SO BAD AFTER ALL
The severe shock recently suffered
Tjythe estimable Queen of Great
Britain and Ireland regarding the
scandalous state of affairs in the
management oi her drawing-rooms
has created considerable discussion
in the English newspapers over the
prevalence of corruption among the
so called upper classes.
The shock which shook the Queen
was the immediate result of an in
vestigation which revealed the fact
that certain titled men and women,
close to the throne, were engaged in
selling the right of presentation at
sums ranging from 81,000 to $10,000.
The father, mother, or husband of a
woman who was anxious to be
honored by a drawing-room presen
tation, il appears, found it necessary
to make application in certain quar
ters. Certain quarters would make
the necessary inquiries. If certain
quarters were satisfied as to the
eligibility of the applicant for dis
tinction, one hint would lead to
another until an agreement as to the
amount of money necessary to make
everything smooth was reached,
when the presentation would take
place according to the card.
What bothers the English news
papers is, peihaps, that, following so
closely upon the revelations in the
Ilooley case, this evidence ot cor
ruption among the nobility renders
useless temporarily a large amount of
"copy" regarding the moral decrepti
tude of a Republican form of govern
ment as exhibited by the exposures
made by newspapers in the United
States. The editorial writers whose
specialty it is to draw invidious com
parisons between morality under a
monarchy and immorality under a
democracy are practically thrown out
of business. Their occupation is
gone. If they mention a case of of
ficial corruption or a case of private
defalcation in the United States it
only serves to remind their readers
of the Hooley and drawing-room
scandals. The less the British com
moner is reminded of these things the
better it is for the British common
wealth, and hence the subject of dis
honesty under a democracy is at
present deemed unworthy of notice.
The worst phase of the situation
from a monarchical view point is the
fact that the more intelligent people
of the United States have never been
associated as a class with the corrup
tion alleged to be prevalent on this
side of the Atlantic. Whatever may
be said of us as a people, our respect
able classes have the reputation of a
remarkably honest and upright people.
The Spaniards have abandoned
all hope of retaining a grip on Porto
Rico and Cuba, and are now going
to struggle to hold a coaling station,
at least, n the Philippines. But even
this will be denied them. The Span
iards must henceforth confine their
operations to Spain.

I am very pleased to state that since
I took tbe. agency of Chamberlain's
medicines the sale has been very large,
more especially of the Cough Remedy.
In two years I have sold more ot this
particuliar remedy than of all other
makes for the previous five years. As
to its efficacy, I have been informed by
scores of persons of the good results they
have received from it, and know its
value from the nae of it in my own house
hold. It ia ao pleasant to take that we
have to place the bottle beyond the
reach of the children.

THE FRENCH CRISIS.
Will trance be able to avert the
impending peril of a military dicta
torship? That will depend upon the
quality of contemporary French
statesmanship.
In the play of "Richelieu"' Bulwer
causes the great cardinal to declare
that "Beneath the rule of men en
tirely great the pen is mightier than
the sword," an epigram often misap
plied and perverted. Richelieu was
referring to the pen as directed by
the statesman, not by the literateur.
He understood the weakness of mili
tary men their vanity, their igno
rance of the great currents of popular
thought and sentiment, their im
practical conceptions of affairs apart
from the army, and above all else
their intense spirit of envy. He
knew with what consummate power
the genius of statesmanship can play
on these foibles, and thus array one
general against another general, or
even one wing of an army in opposi-
tion to another wing.
