Peoples tastes differ as to what is
decent and modest. An eastern w0-
man as she walks may draw her robe
up to her knees without immodesty,
but shame on her If she allows her
face to be seen. The Western wo-
man of fashion must keep her ankles
covered, but sees no harm in remov-
ing the veil from her face and Shout
ders. If our habits of civilization
have so far sublimated the imagina-
lions of men and women that the en-
brace of the waltz is no more sugges-
tive ofimpropriety than handshake,
and if the "full dress" of a ball room
is as Jelly null as the undress of an
African belle, there can be no more
objection to the one than to the other,

In making extensive purchases in
this country of trusts and lands and
other properties, the English capital
lists should remember that they are
aliens. Any attempt to gobble inor-
dinately will not pass. No foreign
corporation can own more than
twenty per centof the stock of any
concern in the territories, and this is
also true of some of the states. Any
attempt to push foreign possession
and alien control of American indus
tries beyond safe limit willEawaken
the hostility of legislation and the
alien cal italists may find themselves
frozen out. England has large re-
serves of capital seeking invest
ment in America and within bounds
this is not objected to, but there is a
point beyond which alien possession
and control can not safely pass. sand
that point is being very rapidly zap
preached.

Educational Questions.

The discussion in Public Opinion re-
garding the question of religion in the
public schools has not materially
helped the solution of the problem.
The several contributors insist on the
necessity of religious and moral train
ing as accessory to secular education,
but do not agree as to how this train
ing is to be obtained. The fact is, the
education of child is threefOld. 1t
is physical, men tai, and moral. For
each of these modes of educational de-
velopment nature, in a measure, pro-
vides. When man supplements her
work her work, he does it, first, by
the gymnasium; second, by the secu-
lar public school; third, by the church.
Sunday school and home training. To
combine the three would lead to con-
fusion without corresponding benefit

The civil Service"

Cleveland Leader ana Herald Rep.)
The independent Boston Transcript
is not in such depressed state of
mind over civil service reform as are
the regular Mugwumps. 1t says:
Civil-service reform has not relapsed
into such a moribund condition as
some of its faint-hearted advocates
conceive. We may say there are many
symptoms apparent of "A vigorous life
which only needs opportunity to as
sert itself.
All of which is true and sensible
1t further bears this reliable testi-
mony to the position of the Republic
can party on the question:
The Republican party, as an organ
izatiOn, stands where the last Nation
al convention of the party placed it,
in favor of extending the operations
of the civil-service law. This admin
istratiOn has selected a commission
which is more energetic i'll enforcing
the reform provisions we have than
any preceding commission has been.
This is the exact truth. The reform
can not be completed in a day. The
evil is too deep seated Tor that. But
progress is being made, and the Re-
publican commission is leading Sthat
progress. The faint-heartedness thai
refuses to give the strongest POSSIBLE
support to the commission is false 10
its professions Of reform. Yet that is
the position Of the average Mugwump.

Royal Grants Unpopular.

New York Tribune.
The royal grants compromise is q
clumsy continuance which will in
volve renewal OF Radical agitation
and increase the governments en-
barrassments. The committee, while
recommending the addition of $4,000
to the Prince of Wales quarterly
grants, failed to act upon Mr.. Glad
stones proposal to deprive the queen
of the privilege of making further ap-
plication to Parliament on behalf Of
her grandchildren. A royal tribe sup
ported by treasury grants can never
be a popular Institution in England.
Any government that attempts to ex-
tend the system of grants to the third
generation will promote the growth
of republicanism.

UNCLE SAM has the same or equal
rights in Behring sea to those pos
sessed by the Russians when they
owned Alaska, and nothing less than
a full recognition and enjoyment of
those rights goes down. 1t is true
that John Bull always claimed open
sea rights in Behring water and it is
equally true that Russia always de-
MED the right and maintained the
position she assumed. In his pur-
chase from Russia of that country
Uncle Sam becomes heir to all the
rights held by Russia, and it does
seem to the controversy over those
rights as well. The rule Of occupancy
enforced by Russia is good Tor the
United States until otherwise estah-
lished by international treaty or arbi-
tratiOn.

GLADSTONE has shown himself an
Englishman of a very generous and
broad type in his treatment of the
royal grant question before the par
lament. Nothing narrow, sectional,
contracted or pessonal in his.attitude.
He acts as a man independent of all
party trammels, regarding the honor
of the nation of more account than a
few paltry pounds, and choosing rath-
er to incur the hostile and unfriendly
criticisms of his colleagues than to
take any position to him inconsist-
ent with the dignity of the crown.
AS premier he was above sycOphancy
and was not royal favorite; as COM
moner on the opposition benches he
would not stoop to curry favor with
the people by joining the popular
cry against royal grants. In office
and in opposition alike he is true to
his convictions of what is statesman
like and wise. G. o. NJ.
