A combination of wealth, notoriety

Their reckless dissipation Is curiously
accompanied with a craven dread of
exposure. A plutocracy has not yet
dared to assume the prerogatives of
an aristocracy of birth. The result Is
that, with a standard of living no
higher than that of England and the
continent and a much greater fear of
criticism, our plutocracy Is singularly
helpless before the assaults of black
mailers of all degrees. Blackmailing

A year or so ago the, world heard

Still the world laughed. Now comes

The testimony in the Annapolis hal

whose unwritten laws seem to be de
rived entirely from false sentiment and
false standards of conduct In this
world some of the diminutive aud
youthful eltixens are encouraged to cul
tivate a self-lmiHirtance that would
strain the ribs of an elephant to the
breaking point. Others receive fully
as much encouragemeut to cultivate a
curious pride In their own self-abasement
One short Illustration will show
how honor works in bringing about
these rnagnlflceut results. There Is a
law that a first class man may order a
fourth class man under the table, and
this high privilege Is practically ex
clusive. The only relaxation of the
rule Is that the tlrst class man may
delegate his power to au Inferior of an
Intermediate class. In common prac
tice, then, the rite Is performed with
the tlrst class man as chief priest and
with a mixture of horseplay and a
sensitiveness to the dictated of honor
that absolutely delles stage burlesque.
Fun is separated from the grand,
gloomy and peculiar by a hair's
brondtlk When the proceedings are
questioned, when the regular laws that
are supitosed to govern the academy
are Involved, honor calls for every sac
rifice to prevent their operation, for
evasions and lies, for submission to
Indignity and Injustice, for revenge and
Intolerable cruelty. Evidently this lit
tle world needs reforming. But It Is
not so ridiculous or contemptible as to
lie without instruction for tho larger
world outside, where false values have
been accepted from time Immemorial
and silly and positively bad conven
tional Ideas have wrought Incalculable
Injury.
In oue of his spirited essays on the
social problem Huxley made a remark
which has become historic. If, he said
In effect he thought that our Industrial
system, with lta features of unemploy
ment, poverty, Inequality and Injustice,
could net be Improved he would lieg
that some friendly planet might collide
with our glolie and put an end to Its
existence. Hut Huxley believed In the
possibility, the certainty, of great social
Improvements and was willing to dis
pense with the services of friendly
planets. Not so, apparently, Miss
C'nw.ler, a Philadelphia "sociologist"
who, having worked herself thin and
shouted herself hoarse trying to aliol-
Ish misery and squalor, now demand?
In sheer despair "proper nuthorltv" to
. -
administer chloroform to poor, starving
neglected children that she cannot
save, hlle waiting for the friendly
planet to solve the problem of adult
poverty and destitution. Miss Crozler
would mercifully administer relief on
her own account to Juvenile sufferers
and victims. It Is not likely that so
ciety will make use of Miss Crozler's
heroism and self sacrifice. It will prob
ably refuse to see In the slaying of
children a grand or welcome remedy
for poverty. It will proceed on the
old-fashioned doctrine that the object
of nil humanitarian endeavor Is to pro
mote life, liberty and happiness, not
tt diminish unhapplnoss by destroying
We. Whatever the "higher hysteria"
may say, the sociology of healthy com
mon sense will stlek to life and to the
processes and remedies that slowly
tend to Increase and enrich life. As
to the revived discussion of that old
subject, the propriety of gently ending
the lives of the Incurably diseased
at least "after a certain period of
excruciating pain anil ngony" and tho
hopelessly Insane, no amount of plaus
ible theoretical argument In favor of
the proposition wjll dispose of the sim

ed out that no right-thinking person
will assume the responsibility of de
ciding when disease Is Incurable or In
sanity hoix'less, and of putting a hn-
man being to death at the command of
a very Imperfect "science." The revolt
of Instinct and conscience against the
proposal, a revolt which would be man-.

Practical Building.
Ti e new Custom House takes its
placx beside the rest of the modern
architecture of New York as an emi
nently practical building. The old
structure on Wsll street, with its dom
ical interior, Ht tremendously deep
and gloomy porch, its row of twelve
monolithic columns, is full of conces
sions to the fashions of the day in
which It was erected. For that period
it was a much more notable undertak
ing than is the present structure (or
this. Like many buildings in New
York, it was not adapted to the narrow
ttreet on which it raises its gloomy,
prison-like walls. The now building
shows s belter adaptation. Though
skyscrapers surround it, yet they can
not shut out the light nor interfere
with the view. Mr Uilbert has taken
Advantage of the site and has met the
problems well. Everything points to
the tiklihnod that the officials and the
public will rind the transfer from Wall
strept to Batlery Park particularly con
ducive to comfoit and prompt dispatch
of business. From Charles De Kay's
