[London News
81 have quiet word for you on the much
talked-of question of the earnings of soprani.
know you think the late we are paid at ex-
trayagant. have had severe losses at times,
but these have nothing to do with the ques-
ton, which is, are we oyerpaid? Now, in the
first place, mon ami, we are rare, we are song
birds. You can count all the soprani of the
first line on the fingers of one hand. Now
take our kindred artist, the painter. He is
not such rare bird as a soprano. If he is
really good and paints portraits in London
or Paris, he makes from 100000 to 100000 a
year He is not only notrare-he is numerous.
What say you of your Millais, Holl, Leigh

sonier, Carolus Duran and Cabanel, not to
mentio ion poor Bastien-Lepage in Paris, as
well as Sargent and several more

raj law of value, fetch high price, as would

is worth $500 or 9400 now, if there were only
four or five in the world would fetch e2O,-

''But the diamoud and the picture remain,
while the opera is only fleeting JOY"
'And SO is the singer, who cannot go on
singing in her dotage as painter can paint.
Sans deraisonner, the working life of the ar
tist on canvas is fully twice as long as that
of the singer, whose voice or general health
may break down at any moment, and who is
exposed to risks in hurrying from one en-
gagement to another, from which the painter
is entirely free As for me, lead a triangu-
lar life between London, Paris and the Unit

sirJosenh Porter V = q

A fact which has so far escaped press COM
ment with regard to the new Salisbury minis
try is the temperance of Admiral Porter,
neapolis Tribune. Mr.. W. Fl. Smith, the
new secretary for war, is the original of Mr..
Gilbert'S Ruler of the Queens Navee," and
was the secretary for the navy at the time
that ''Pinafore" was written, in Lord Bea-
consfeld's cabinet. Mr.. Smith started life
as newsboy, without shoes or prospects,
and peddled the daily papers in the streets
of the borough for which he is now mem
Der. Then he worked into the large, metro
politan railroad stations and thence to the
greater railroad centres throughout the coun-
try, where he bought up one by one the priv
ileges of selling books and newspapers on
the platform. The system was slowly devel-
oped until now w. H. Smith is the head of
the most enormous news-vending system in
the world. With the exception of portion
OF the London stations and the stations on a
few of the less important provincial lines in
England-which are in the hands of the rival
company of Willing 81 Co.-there is not a
railroad platform in the country which has
not one of Smith bookstall,' in connection
with each of which is established circulate
ing library. He has in fact the peanut
monopoly of the whole railroad system of
England, which he worked up SO beautifully
that he soon became the ruler of the Queens
navee. Whether the experience which he OBJ
tanned in fighting rival newsboys will make
him as efficient in the war Office as he was
formerly in the admiralty remains to be
seen; but as a self-made man he holds a
unique position in British politics, and has
more influence with the rank and file of his
constituents of Westminster than any half
dozen lords.

MULTIPLYING THE LAW.

The case of Keller who was regularly ap-
pointed under the civil service law, to
government clerkship and then refused an
assignment because it was discovered that he
was a Republican, deserves more than a
passing notice, inasmuch as it is believed to
disclose an intention to get rid of Republi-
cans even when they come through the reg
ular channels of the civil service law. The
scheme miscarried in this case owing to the
Ignorance of the men concerned in the plot
in regard to the provisions of the law. The
intention of the originators of the plot doubt
less was that Keller should be assigned and
after short time discharged on some pre-
tence. That process would have been legal
and would probably have excited no special
attention But Chenowith not having thor
Oughly learned his part discharged Keller
before he had assigned him and thus involved
himself and his conspirators in the meshes
of the civil service act
The administration is said to be very much
concerned over the case, and is seeking to
hush it up by assigning Keller. But the civ
IL service commission has duty to perform
in this matter and it should not be deferred
from doing it. The administration is not en-
titled to any indulgence. 1t appointed Hig-
gins, one of the prominent actors in this con-
spiracy, after his character had been thor
Oughly exposed and in the face of the earn
est protests of the civil service reform asso-
Citations of Baltimore and other places. When
Higgins was made appointment clerk it was
known that he was member of one of the
most corrupt political rings in the country,
and that his appointment was urged solely
as reward for the dirty political work he
had done for Boss German of Baltimore.
His whole record which was submitted to
the President and Secretary Manning, clear
ly demonstrated that he was totally unfit
man to hold any position under an admins
tration protesting to be Jealous in the cause
of reform. Nevertheless he was appointed,
and that too to an Office which afforded him
an opportunity to defeat in whole or in part
the operation of the civil service law. The
very thing has happened which might have
been anticipated, and which the Baltimore
Civil Service Association did anticipate and
warn the President against. Higgins has
turned out to be precisely the kind of man
he was represented He has been caught in
an attempt to nullify law of Congress, and
unless the administration is willing to be re-
garded as a partaker in his evildoing it
should discharge him forthwith 1t cannot
certainly afford to screen him from prosecu-
tion. But if it should attempt to do so the
Civil Service Commission should resist to
the full extent Of its ability.
