me E,npiISh Thirst.

One of the primal impressions of
stranger in England is that, as a people,
the English have full grown and ro-
bust thirst. Compared with the Anglo
Saxon and his kindred in Germany, Den
mark. Sweden and Norway, the Latin
family of nations appears abstemiOus and
even the Western American temperate. 1t
would seem, indeed, as if the English race
particularly must have been many ages
III acquiring its prodigiOuS thirst; but the
alcoholic and maltinc statiSticians of the
recent temperance revival in England, to
the amaZement of everybody save them
selves, announced the singular discovery
that only in the last three centuries have
the English been such steady-and I'M
steady-imbberS. Not only 10 the amaze
ment of all, but to the intense Indignation
off, vast number of Britons fond of the
cup that cheers. but inebriates: for they
have begun to talk back in the papers to
the tcctotallcrS and To show resentment
ut the imputation of sObriety east upon
their ancestors. The defenders of the an
cient inebriety Of the race point with
pride to the fact that centuries ago
drunk as an Englshman' was "a cur
rent a comparison on the continent rs
drunk as lord is. today. in Merrie
England. Not the least interesting fca-
turc is the entire seriousness Of these de-
tenders. They seem 10 deem the hstori
cal suggestion of the temperance reform
ers as Il national insult. Drink in their
vision has been the foundation Of Eng
lands greatness. Not a very solid fOun-
datiOn, one cannot help suggesting: bur.

AN EXPENSIVE HONOR.
1t Costs to BE Lord Mayor of Lon

1t Costs to BE Lord Mayor of Lon
don.
The expenditures for subscriptions
and entertainment are largely in eX-
cess of the salary and the official al
lowances. 1t costs every lord mayor
anywhere from 10000 600, 0OO to
10000 t$1OO,OOO) to occupy the office.
The outgoing lord mayor, Sir George
Faudel-Philips, probably spent from
t25,OOO t$125,OOO to 100000 $3.50, OOO)
In excess Of his salary and allowances.
He has taken charge of the Indian
famine relief fund and many of the
jubilee funds, and has been the patron
of all the charities during an 'annus
mirabilis' of subscription lists and
systematic codging. He has subscribe
ed literally to every fund. His gra-
clous hospitality has been enjoyed by
thousands of jubilee guests at the
Mansion House. The last year has
been an exceptional one, but the office
is always Il costly one. Whoever ac-
cepts it expects to pay heavily for the
honor. No lord mayor ever energies
from the office without being at least
100000 (S50,O0O) poorer for the expert
ence, but the honor of knighthood is
invariably bestowed upon him, and
his wife enjoys the distinction of be
ing addressed as Lady So-and-So. No
alderman who has passed the chair
ever returns to it. Reelection to the
office never occurs. No alderman is
willing TO pay the tolls twice. He
might be, if he could get a peerage for
a second term.
The election of the lord mayor is a
burleSque performance. with touches
of medieval mummery, like the No
yember procession, with its tinsel
splendors and grotesque pageantry.
Half a dozen eX-Sheriffs have an in
formal conference, and one of them
agrees to take the office and to pav
the costs for 4 year. The common
crier, the recorder, the common ser
geant, the mace bearers. the sword
bearers and the chaplains appear for
dress parade, and a small knot of liy-
erymen gives assent. The lord MAYOR
IS elected by representatives of the
liveried guilds and he exercises juris-
diction over square mile of territory
with n resident population of $4,000.
The Greater London, with its zoe
square miles and 7,000,0 residents
a world within itself-haS no exec,t-
tive head and no centralized system of
government. 1t is the center of a
worldwide empire, yet it IS an anomal-
Gus tumble Of ''disjected provinces"
without unity of action or enllghten-
ed and progressive municipal poll
cies. The modern art of municipal
government can offer no more startling
contrast than that between the choice
of the lord mayor of London BY half
dozen rich gentlemen. who have been
sheriff, and the popular election of a
municipal dictator for Greater New
York.-Londou Letter to New York
