TAur.day Afternoon. june 18th. 1891

THE conduct of the Prince Of Wales
is doing much to weaken the hold Of a
monarchical form of government upon
the English people. In the character
of this man should be found most OF
the attributes Of greatness instead,
we find much that is to be deplored !;
passions which lead to gambling and
kindred evils, and lack of that high
sense Of duty to his country and respect
for his people which should attend
every act of his life. The Prince OF
Wales in the natural course of events
will soon be called upon to assume the
duties of the kingdom, but in all the
years Of his manhood he has never
been allowed to interfere or take part
in any way in government affairs. He
has had no work of any kind to do and
consequently has fallen into bad habits
and has made friends among people
whose moral senses have been pretty
thoroughly blunted. In his endeavors
to kill time, which hangs heavily, the
Prince has degraded himself and has
caused to arise among the English
people the idea that government OF
the people, by the people and for the
people may not, with all its faults, be
SO bad or so dangerous as their present
system. The respectability Of the gov
ernment of Queen Victoria and the
fact that the power Of the royal family
is limited mas lead most persons to
believe that there is no immediate
danger of a revolution which would
change the form Of government, but
since the latest developments in the
Baccarat trial and in one or two dis
graceful divorce cases there has arisen
strong feeling of dissatisfaction
which may lead to serious conse-
Quences.

A s2o. 600 Crop of Peaches

One dollar basket for peaches is a
good price for them; yet we heard one
grower say this week that he had re-
fused this price for his crop, which he
estimates at 10000 baskets. Peaches
are growing fast and look healthy. The
June drop has not amounted to much
this season, nor have the rosebugs
troubled the fruit seriously. Their
ravages are now thought to be over

So much ballast has been thrown out
by tramp" freight steamers
coming into New York harbor that
there is some ground for fearing the
formation of shoal there. The num-
Der of tramps is unusually large this
year, owing to the immense crops of
the United States. The rates for bring
ing a cargo to America are so low, and
for taking one away so high. that
great fleets of the "tramps" find 1t
profitable to come with whatever cargo
they get, and return laden with grain
for Europe. As 1t is next to Impossible
t. geta cargo sufficient to fill up for
the western trip, they com, in ballast.
