LIVING BY POLITICS.
a Trade Pursued by Two Hundred Thou
sand American Citizens.


The countless minor offices of the
United States are filled by distinct
class known as professional politi-
clans" These men live by politics, re-
ceiving place as reward orpolitical work.
Their control of public office is monop-
olistic. Mr.. Bryce estimates their num-
ber at two hundred thousand, but this is
probably an underestimate. They con-
stitute guild, although they are not
organized under formal articles of as
sociation. With them oilice-getting Tor
keeping in ofiice) is an industry, and
the fees and emoluments are accepted
as payment for partisan services rather
than for the exercise of official func-
tions. The influence which the Office
holders yield is altogether out of pro-
portion to their numbers or to their in
tellectual attainments. But they pos
sess this advantage over all other
classes-they are unified and organized.
They make the management of pri-
maries and conventions the serious
business of their lives, and acquire a
skill and experience in ''wire-pulling"
which ordinary citizens cannot hope to
cope with. The politics of the country
is in the hands of these men. The peo-
pie elect, but can not nominate, being
reduced to choice OF candidates Sc
lected by the politicians of opposing
parties. These politicians dictate nomi-
nations, high and low, and afterwards
foreclose lien upon public place which
they claim to have earned. All others,
those who can not show certificate of
this character, are excluded. Oliver
Il. Morton, in Atlantic.

CONCERNING CROWNS.
The Emblems of Royalty Worn by Kings
and Queens.

Many years ago it was the correct
thing for monarch to wear the
identical crown worn by his predeces-
sors. A king never was formally
crowned on the day when he succeeded
to the throne, but the ceremony was
always postponed for week or two in
order to have the crown thoroughly
renovated. In the days when the French
had kings the monarch was so liable to
be upset by revolution that he was
unwilling to delay the ceremony OF cor
onation, and it often happened that u
new French king would send out tho
prime minister with the crown within
twenty minutes after the previous kinga
decease with orders to have it blocked
for two and one-half francs while he
waited. But there is no doubt that tho
custom Of handing down the same crown
from generation to generation had its
disadvantages
In the first place, it rarely happens
that two kings have heads of precisely
tine same size, and as rule the crown
which fitted the original king for whom
it was made never fitted any of his sue
cessors, but was always either too large
or too small. Nothing looks more alb
surd tnan very small crown cooked On
tho head of very large king, except,
perhaps, a crown which is much tao
large for the wearer and continually
falls over his ears. There was, it is true,
certain reverence for antiquity and in
herited rights shown 10y this custom OF
wearing an ancient ancestral crown, but
" need nov be supposed that any noa
.rch really liked it,
No matter how carefully 4 king might
have his fathers crown secured and re-
paired he always felt that he was wear
ing another mans clothes, 50 to speak.
As for Queen Victoria, it is we'll known
that she ordered IN catire set OF new
crowns when she camo TO the throne, re-
marking as she gavo the order, that sho
had as much affection for some of her
relatives as any body need have, but as
for wearing any thing that had been on
the 'ead of that 'orrid King William she
would go to her grave barcheaded first.
