SOCIAL CENSOR.
Credentials OF Applicants for Pres-
enfation at Court closely
ENamiued.

The necessity foE censorship over The
social credentials of applicants for
presentation at Queen Yicioria's court
is apparent when the air is heavy with
moralizing over Hooleyism. says an
eastern exchange. Lord Charles Beres-
ford startled D Lo2don audience year
ago by declaring that money could
buy its way into the highest places in
England He merely anticipated the
records of the bankruptcy courts Mr.
Hooley did not succeed i'm establishing
company promoting on a permanent
social basis. The bottom fell out of his
enterprises before he had perfected
his system of batting small investors
with the names Of earls and the leaders
Of smart society. He was imposed up
on by swarm of spectators. solicitors
and middlemen, and he was a bankrupt
before he could regulate the perquisiies
of directors in accordance with fixed
principles Of social precedence and in.
troduce a tariff with maximum and
minimum fees for introductions 10 peo-
pie Of quality. The bubble was pricked
before the full purchasing power Of
the stock promoters money was
brought TO bear upon smart society.
Yet this traffic carried Mr. Hooley a
long way into the social world. 1t
produced for him the acquaintance OF
many people of distinction; it enabled
him to enter the Carlton club and to
stake ont a claim for a seat in parlia-
ment and it put him in direct negotia-
tions with the political managers for
the purchase of q baronetcy for about
$3.50 600 i'm hard cash.

AIlGER AND THE BEAlN-EATEH1s.
The siaid and conservative Balti-
more Sun pays it's compliments 10 Sec
retarv Aiger in the following words,
IL Mr.. Russell A. Alger. secretary Of
war, Will move around the country a
little, he win find out what people
think OF him. He might have found il
out already IL he had read the news
papers. Mr.. Alger Is now in Boston
with the president and rode in a pro-
cession through the streets. He was
greeted by the crowd With jeers and
cries Of Beef Beef" All one point a
group Of militiamen had gathered and
cheered for General Miles as Mger
rode by. 1t was said to be the deliber-
ate intention OF the men to rebuke the
secretary. According to the press dis
patch, Il took General Alger some lit
tie time to understand the attitude OF
the people, but when t dawned upon
him what they meant, "his gracious
smile we are told. "stiffened into
look OF cold impassiveness." Perhaps
he comforted himself with the refec-
ton that the people OF Boston know
more about pork and beans than they
do about beef He may have thought
that the people Of the Hub were ex-
pressing their indignation that the sol
diers had been fed upon beef OF any
kind rather than upon the classic food
OF Boston.
The significance OF the incident. how
ever should not be underestimated.
Mr.. Alger was the guest Of the city of
Boston, he was at the head OF the War
Department during the war in which
the army OF the United States won a
quick and decisive victory, and yet he
Is greeted with misses. And it is not in
Boston alone that Kisses would greet
the secretary Of war. He has made
himself obnoxious TO an outraged peo-
pie and an ill-treated army and Kisses
and executions would fol-
low him everywhere. Alger does not
mind Kisses, though. He receives them
with cold impasslyeness" and they
far upon a pachyderm. the impenetra-
Nltty OF which has been manifested by
his remaining in the cabinet when the
whole land is demanding his retire
ment. But how does the president
feel under these assaults upon his sec
retary? He at least is responsible for
Aiger and Angerism. He put him In
his Cabinet well knowing the charac-
ter and his record and he keeps him
there In defiance Of public sentiment
and the public welfare.
