The Art of ReignIng.

From the London Spectator.
When we come to deal with the art OF
reignng at close quarters, Il is obvious
that an outsider can say little as to the
details. They are naturally kept as a kind
Of trade secret--a secret not expressed IN
words or written IN books but to be learn
ed rather by example and imitation than
by direct precept Stil, a study Of the
methods Of kingshlp discloses certain main
principles Of action. Consciously or un-
consciously, the kings who are successful
IN the art Of reignlng act on the text Of
Scripture that tells us the kings heart
Is inscrutable." The clever king Is most
careful 10 keep his opinions more or less
yelled and unexpressed. He Is solicitous
that the man Ia the street shall not pe
able 20 say the king takes this or that
side. or wants this or that, or believes
IN this or that solution. IL Is far better
that ul the absolute need FOR a decision
comes the kings View should be unknown
that one man should say, Il wonder
what the kings view is2" and that the
other should be able 10 reply Nobody
knows exactly nut depend upon IL he
won't jump 10 any conclusion. but Will
keep free hand as long as he can"
the king. IN fact, remains uncommltted
until the time for action arrives. In this
way there 10 no leakage OF popularity.
Each side however vehement. is able to
feel. ZEN be all right IN the end The
king D. uncommltted. ana when he secs
how things are going. or when he gets
properly informed. we shall have him with
as" Thus the parry or sectional battle rs
fought out without the king getting
splashed with any Of the mud OF the
arena. OF course ln many cases the time
ultimately arrives when the king has TO
take q SIDE o. rather 10 act We are
speaking not 81 strict constitutional mon
nrchieB like England, but Of NOM
archics IN which the sovereign Yields d.
rect power when be- does 30, however,
the fact that be has been up 10 that mo-
mcnt uneommltted enables him 20 break
the fan 81 The losing side. The king acts.
Ia fact, like a judge, aud, ike a Judge,

adopted tariff measure The only person
who appealed TO the ways aud means COM
mittee for an increased duty on eggs was
Mr.. Scilacci, who urged the necessity of
encouraging home productions. Accord
ing 10 his request the committee increased
the duty by two-thirds. and left the free
list provision as It stood. What occurred
in the Senate committee Is not known ex-

the Senate a provision was added making

proposition Of fish eggs except in their
natural or in an inedible condition. Nor
was this all. In passing through the SEN
ate the eggs of birds not used for food"
were added to the list OF articles the i'm
port OF which was prohibited. This sug-
ges'ion came from Senator Hoar, and he
explained Il:
1T Is a well known fact that the de-
structOn of the song birds OF this CONT
nent by the sale of their eggs for mere
fanciful purposes Is going on at who.e-
sale rate, and IL Is so In Europe. 1t is
said that even the nghtngales are being
totally destroyed In Italy. OF course, these
birds fly across the Canada line and across
the Mexican line"
so that since 1890. out OF single word
eggs" in the tariff has grown out a num-
Der Of differences and distinctions that dis
play great refinement OF ingenuity, with
out celebrating the purely selfish interest
OF the trainers. If Senator Hoar was real
ly sincere in his wish TO preserve the song
birds Of Europe, he would, have urged that
the import Of the birds themselves be pro-
hibted. as well as that Of the eggs. In
1896. the value Of eggs OF birls, fish and
insects imported into the United States
was $l0.S9s. OF which the eggs OF fish were
the leading item: but OF birds, living $751;
1856; birds skins. $i2,4Gi; and nearly 5000 =
900 IN feathers.
