WE'RE NOT so BAD AFTER ALL

The severe shock recently suffered
by the estimable Queen of Great
Britain and Ireland regarding the
scandalous state of affairs In the
management OF her drawing-rooms
has created considerable discussion
in the English newspapers over the
prevalence of corruption among the
SO called upper classes.
The shock which shook the Queen
was the immediate result of an IN
vestigation which revealed the fact
that certain titled men and women,
close to the throne, were engaged in
selling the right of presentation at
sums ranging from $1,000 to $4,000.
The father, mother, or husband of
woman who was anxious to be
honored by drawing-room presen-
tation, it appears, found 1t necessary
to make application IN certain quar-
ters. Certain quarters would make
the necessary inquiries. If certain
quarters were satisfied as to the
eligibility of the applicant for dis
tinction, one hint would lead to
another until an agreement as to the
amount of money necessary to make
everything smooth was reached,
when the presentation would take
place according to the card
What bothers the English news
papers is, perhaps, that. following so
closely upon the revelations in the
Hooley case, this evidence of cor
ruption among the nobility renders
useless temporarily large amount of
copy regarding the moral decrepti-
tude of a Republican form of govern
ment as exhibited by the exposures
made by newspapers in the United
States. The editorial writer's whose
specially it is to draw invidious COM
parsons between morality under a
monarchy and immortality under a
democracy are practically thrown out
of business. Their occupation is
gone. If they mention a case of Of
fetal corruption or case of private
defalcation in the United States it
only serves to remind their readers
of the Hooley and drawing-room
scandals. The less the British COM
moner is reminded of these things the
better it is for the British common
wealth, and hence the subject of dis
honesty under a democracy is at
present deemed unworthy Of notice.
The worst phase of the situation
from monarchlcal view point is the
fact that the more intelligent people
of the United States have never been
associated as a class with the CORFU J.
tion alleged to be prevalent on this
side of the Atlantic. Whatever may
be said of US as people, our respect.

1t is not always understood by those who
are not sportsmen that the men who find
their recreation III hunting and fishing often
use the rod and gun as mere excuses for
jaunts into the wilderness; that they care
less for SPOTS from forest and stream than
for the mere pleasures of out-of-door life
Such men find delight in roaming through
wood and field and in rambling by quiet
streams simply because they are thus
brought close to primitive nature and it's
varied phenomena. The hunter is apt to
love the skies and trees, the flowers, the
bird songs, the very contact with mother
earth better than he loves to fill his bag
with game, the fisherman TO find deeper en-
loyment IN lying upon a river bank listen
ing dream1ly to the hum of life in the
trees above than in landing the largest
Of fish. In short, SUCH men feel the poetry
of nature and their souls expand under its
influence. Mr.. Otto Stechhan is one of these
nature lovers, and in his little collection of
verses entitled Rudder, Rod and Gum en-
beavers to give expression to the sentiments
aroused by experiences under the open sky
and in the forest Solitudes. He sees the
plcturesqueness of his surroundings and is
not absorbed in the mere pursuit of his
game, though this has charm but is awake
to all the sights and sounds that belong
to woodland life. AS he roams over wood

pictures it in verses entitled MY Dog and

which include for him more than the sports

Richard Harding Daviss Kings Jackal, {"
with Illustrations by Gibson, is brought out
in handsome style by the Scribners The
story. which has been mentioned before in
these columns when it was running as a
magazine serial, is not up 10 Mr.. Davis S
highest mark. 1t is less original than his
earlier tales. since it would probably never
have been written but for Hopes Prisoner
of Zenda," and it carries an air of improb-
ability while one of his characteristics has
been that of making unlikely things seem
probable. The events of the story take
place in Tangier, the scene OF THE Exile
one of his strongest snort stories. The
characters consist of the King of Messina
and his party, most of whom, as we'll as the
King, diSreputable, and a wealthy
American girl who is about to enact the
role of angel to the bankrupt monarch
because she is in love with that one of his
companions who is classed as the 'jackal."
The guardian angel of the girl whose money
is being enticed from her through her
credulity appears in the person of an Ameri-
can newspaper correspondent, who walks
rough shod over royalty and its trappings
and circumyents his Majesty's wicked
schemes. In writing this tale Mr.. Davis
seems to have traded somewhat on his repu-
tation: nevertheless, with all its faults, it
is sprightly, rapid in movement. metes out
poetic justice to all and will serve we'll as
entertainment for a summer hour.

and dignity of his address, he left Annap-

THE DANGER OF HASTE.


The New York Journal says that Sin
dent who considers it neither unstatesman-
like nor beneath his official dignity to wait
for the guidance of public opinion" 1t goes
on to say that the President desires to hear
from the people upon the question Of the
disposition of the Philippines, and that this
fact imposes a serious duty upon the news
papers, not SO much in creating sentiment
as in ascertaining it.
The people are discussing the subject, but
thus far most intelligent men are in doubt
as to what shall be done because of a lack
of adequate information. The only persons
who are ready to give an off-hand judg-
ment are those who never weigh a subject.
There were many people who, when Ad-
miral Dewey achieved his victory, jumped
to the conclusion that the United States
should make the Philippine islands Amcri-
can territory. Since that event they have
come to know more about the responsible
ity the occupation or protectorate of the
islands will involve. The ardor of many
men has been cooled by the probability that
it will take a large army to maintain any
sort of government in the Philippines-from
%, GOO to $1,000 men for Manila and the Island
of Luzon alone.
There are other important elements in
volved in the question of the occupation of
the Philippines which should be discussed
and understood before the verdict shall be
rendered. 1t certainly is too early for an
excellent paper to declare that the will of
the people has been voiced through the rep
resentative papers of the country, since the
sentiment of the press is thus far divided.
and several papers which favored annexa-
ton some tim9 ago are now in doubt. Nor
is it fair to assert that the President has
come to any definite conclusion upon this
question What Senator Fairbanks said in
his speech on wednesday in the Republican
state convention, and the declaration of the
pla form expressed the position which Presi-
dent Mckinley occupied a week ago. OF
this there can be no possible doubt.
In view of this fact the declaration of a
prominent Republican paper that the ad-
ministrations doubt at the outset as TO the
true American policy on this question has
ended" is a pure assumption. 1t is equally
a false assumption for the same paper TO
assert that the American WILL is that the
American commissioners shall demand the
whole of the Philippines" There has been
no such expression of the American will
and the assumption that there has been is
an attempt to force the country into an
unthinking demand for the Phiiippines-to
stampede the people by declaring senti-
