A PRINCES EDUCATION.

Prince Albert Victor profting by the ex
ample Of his father, is to make in the autumn
journey to India, where he will remain for
six months. He has already been to Australia
on protracted cruise with his brother, Prince
George, in a British man-ofwar; and after he
has been received in high state by the Viceroy
and the native princes and has personally in
spected the new scientific frontier on the Dor
ders of Afghanisan he will have enjoyed re-
markable facilities for studying the resources
of the world wide Empire which he seems des-
tined to govern in the fulness of time. His
father has prepared himself in a similar way
for the responsibilities of constitutional mon
archy, having made extended journeys to India
and Canada, and obtained broad views Of the
magnitude of the realm in which he is TO In
herit the titles of King and Emperor. The
education Of the young Prince is to be COM
pleted on similar lines, so that when he is
master of Marlborough House he can have
ample leisure for conducting those stately func-
tons in which his father now eXcels, and for
cultivating friendly relations with statesmen
and leaders Of all parties His marriage will
probably take place next year. Princess Vic
toria of Germany, the Emperor's sister, being
the expected bride.
The English method OF educating a Prince
differs widely from continental usage. In
Russia, Germany, Austria and Italy the heir
to the throne is bred a soldier and trained in
the science of modern warfare The military
functions of royalty are those which are con-
sidered pre-eminent, since the sovereign when
war is declared is expected to take the field in
person as commander-in-chief. In Spain,
where a child is now in the royal nurseries who
was born a King-almost unique figure in his
tory-a military education is regarded as Of
MINOR importance, and the pnestly tutors who
are TO take charge of his education will be
satisfied if they succeed in bringing to the
throne an answering and unqueStioning de-
fender Of the Catholic faith. This is the ex-
cepton which proves the rule. Germany, with
the rigorous restraints Of mitaism, has pro-
duced in this generation an ideal sovereign in
the person of Frederick the Noble. His ed
ucation was supplemented by contact with the
English Court, but his character was one of
original force, markedly independent and hos
pitable to the liberalizing influences of modern
institutions. The present German Emperor is
more normal product of the continental meth
cd of training Princes in the school Of arms
and accustoming them to military ideas Of the
art of government The English system ed
ucates Prince for the stately functions of
ttular sovereignty over an Empire that is gov
erned and administered by generation of er-

perienced statesmen. The Alterations and
mannerisms of the camp are not encouraged
but Princes are brought up to be well-informed
and not too positive minded gcntlemen-digni-
fed functionaries who have travelled and are
conyersant with the extent and resources oil
the Empire, and who have learned the lesson

in warehouse makes it possible to say only this
as yet, that the liquor consumption appears TO
have increased on the whole about as much as
that of cigarettes and cigars, but less than that
of tobacco.
The two conclusions which the figures appear 10
Justify are ~ that the actual consumption Of
liquors does not diminish as consequence Of pro
hibitory action, but increases on the contrary
nearly in proportion TO the increase in other arti
cles regarded as luxuries and ~ that the condi-
ton of the population as indicated by its con-
sum pton Of these articles generally has been such
as TO admit more liberal expenditure than in
any previous year. Comparing the past year with
Ten years ago. the increase appears TO have been
from the equivalent of 1.6 gallons of spirits per
inhabitant to the equivalent of 20 gallons from
the equivalent OF 42.4 cigars to the equivalent of
G. 3 for each inhabitant; and from 25 pounds Of
manufactured tobacco, to 1892 pounds for each
inbabitant. 1t is evident that these figures do
not indicate increasing inability on the part of
the millions to satisfy their desires, but on the
contrary: ability and disposition to spend largely

purchase of articles Of voluntary USE

of the views of the people on a subject Of vital
interest to the city. On the Mayors suggestion
il has been decided 10 hold a public meeting
on September for the purpose of ascertaining
public opinion as to the ACCESSIBILITY of erecting
a huge building on the east side of the City
Hall Park, and at the same time the date for
submitting plans has been extended to October
l. This change of front on the question Of
surrendcring q large part of the pitiful remnant
of this park is to be commended. 1t is IN line
with the proposition made to the Legislature
to postpone the erection of the building till a
year from last spring. 1t will give the citizens
of New York a chance to say whether they want
such building as is proposed on the site pro
posed or not. THE TRIBUNE is confident that
the decision will be adverse to the plan of tho
Sinking Fund Commissioners. The meeting
of September ought to be largely attend
ed, and the utterance of the public so emphatic
that the matter in hand will be settled for
generation at least

LIQUOR CONSUMPTION.

The Internal Revenue report for the fiscal year
of 1889 dscloses a continued increase in the con-
sumption of liquors and tobacco for each inhab-
liant In the light Of widely extended prohib
itory cnactments, which have been made operative
by local action in many counties and towns dur
ing the past year in the West and South, and in
some of the States are supposed TO have been more
stringently enforced than ever it is a remarkable
fact that the consumption Of liquors does not
diminish. Exact accounts cannot yet be pre-.
pared, until the final report Of the Internal Revenue
bureau has been completed and published. But
statements which certainly approach the truth
closely are now available. and they leave room
to doubt that there has been some increase in the
consumption OF liquors. For more instructive
comparison, the figures relating TO tobacco may
be first considered, as these cast some light upon
the general increase in consumption to be ex-
pected from the growth of population in number
and prosperity In the following statement re-
suits for 1886 are compared with those for 1888,
for / SS4 and for 1879:

TESTING NEW SHIPS.

The Ordnance Bureau of the Navy Depart
ment is to be congratulated upon the salts
factory tests Of the Yorktown's battery. The
gunboats main battery has been fired at sea
with excellent results. With moderate sea
running each of the six-inch guns was fired
three times with full charges on Monday, and
not a rivet was disturbed, nor was the slightest
damage sustained by the ship The guns had
been properly designed and mounted and the
vessel itself, albeit fears have often been ex-
pressed by naval officers that it would be over
weighted by its battery, had been so strongly
built as to form stable floating platform for
highpowered naval artillery. When the At
lantas guns were fired the tracks were torn
up, and incompetent designing and ignorant
workmanship were disclosed. The Ordnance
Bureau has profted by the melancholy exhibi-
ton then made.
The Yorktown, after receiving several add
tional guns required for. the completion of her
secondary battery, will sail for Newport, where

The allotment of lands in severalty is con-
,idered by students of the Indian question as
pne of the essential things in connection with
the work of civilizng the Indians and making
Them self respecting and selfsustaining. But
what is to be done when the red men refuse to
accept allotments of land offered by the Gov
eminent? That is the case at the Devils Lake
Reservation. The principal objection made by
the Indians to taking lands in severalty is the
payment of taxes.
