drink as we'll as honest men, the
Scotch even furnish that refuge for the
harassed and distracted debtor which in
| every other part Of the world has to be
provided by the alien and the foreigner
Recent proceedings in the bankruptcy
court of Glasgow have revealed that a
strange and undreamt-of facility for
eluding creditors exists in Edinburg
that the Royal Palace and Abbey OF
Holyrood are ''sanctuary," a place no
evil disposed dun is allowed to enter,
where no writ can take effect, no sum-
mons necessitate attendance. While we
are maudling about saving our horses
from the tortures of vivisection, and a
home for lost dogs and a refuge for stray
cats, Scotch philanthropy, with an eye
to the needs which may occur to all, even
the best of US, has been maintaining the
privileges of sanctuary abandoned in
every other country for the last century.
1t was here that few years ago bank
rupt biscuit baker from Glasgow took
refuge, and it was proved in court that
no power, save reversion of the law,
could force him thence. The bankrupt.
however, did not abuse the power thus
acquired. but from his Palace at Holyrood
dictated the only terms Of submission to
which he would accede. He showed
himself accommodating and generous,
thoroughly bon prince in every respect,
and announced his readiness to leave the
sanctuary Of the Palace OF Holyrood,
where he had taken up his abode. pro-
vided his creditors, on their part, should
feel inclined to display the same gener-
os:ty, and would allow him to quit with
out taking any steps against him, or if
the sheriff would grant ar order for his
protection. But the creditors, evidently
ajealous and vulgar tribe, instead of con
senting to this easy and gentlemanly ar
rangement, actually obtained power from
the sheriff to proceed to the legal arrest
of the bankrupt 1t was then that the
strange discovery of the utter inability of
the law to touch debtor so long as he
remains sheltered in sanctuary, and the
Illegally of any attempt on the part Of
any sheriff's officer to enter its precints
became known. 1t is wise to give pub
licity 10 the existence OF such valuable
refuge as this? The knowledge will
certainly bring on the decay and ruin of

THEORY AND PRACTICE.

The following review OF the theory Of
our government, the ascendency OF the
people in the management of their
affairs, and the actual practice OF the
sovorigns for whose benefit this grand
theory was devised. is we'll written and
truthful.
Tho theory is, that the voters Of each
party assemble in their primary districts
and select delegates. whose action may
properly be considered that of the ma
iority. The candidates for high offices
are, according to this theory, nominated
BY the delegates OF the majority Of the
voters Of the party. who at the polls
formally ratify their own choice. This
Is the theory. The fact is that the mass
OF the voters do not assemble in their
primary districts, do not select their
delegates, do not nominate the candid
ates for high Offices, and do not ratify
their choice at the polls. This govern
ment is carried on BY the mass Of voters
accepting an alternative made up for
them by few persons" As result OF
this usurpation OF the popular power by
= conclavc. the two parties are rum by
tho officeholders, or the ofiice-seekers.
They rule in the districts, they name the
candidates, they pack conventions, they
organize campaigns. and when they are
successful they reward their adherents
with the rich emoluments Of contracts
and places. No matter what the charac-
ter OF the antecedents Of these useful
tools may be they. must be paid for their
services. Is it = wonder that the news
