COMMENTS OF EDITORS.
London Newspapers Touching Up
the Prince.

the fflnce.
LONDON, June 1O.-The Pail Mall
Gazette in commenting on the baccarat
case strongly defends the Wilson's, who
pursued it says perfectly honorable
and respectable course. They could
not stop the play. Nobody read
Ing the evidence presented could
come to any other conclusion than that
Sir William Gordon-Cumming was
guilty. The Gazette ridicules the idea
that the Prince of Wales came badly
out of the case. Continuing, the paper
says: However, everybody knows
that the tastes of the Prince and the
Princes set are little vulgar, If not
exactly low. He prefers chic to culture.
1t is absurd to stickle about the Prince
playing baccarat, when we give our
public men carte blanch to play the
blackguard."
The st, James Gazette is not sure of
the positive guilt of Sir William.
Nothing bad about the Prince of
Wales had been disclosed during the
trial. This scandal was an ugly one,
but it cannot be said that any dark
stains had been left on his reputation.
Yet IL would be idle to deny that his is
valuable reputation; one not to be
trif1ed with or splashed in the
elaborate washing of dirty enemies.
The plain truth is there is rowdiness,
coarseness and vulgarity of cone about
society, which has been steadily going
of late years. 'The refinement and dis
tinctlon of the salons of a decade ago is
vanishing. AmusementS are becoming
noisier, rougher and more cOarsly os-
tentatious." The paper then comments
on the princes conduct and the
queens pure life, and continues: LET
princes enjoy themselves when young,
but with advancing years it might be
pected the Prince of Wales would rule
his private life with rather more than
less of sobriety and self-restraint than
would any other English gentleman
who was forty-tiye years of age and
grandfather.
The Globe says the Prince of Wales
has displayed disappointing lndiffer-
ence to his responsibilities. The pro-
vincial press strongly condemns the
prince.
