POPULAR RULE.
IL has Always Proved to he q Fla
Failure Among Back
ward Races.

Anent the proposition TO make our
newly acquired dependencies self-gov-
erning, it is interesting TO note that par
liamentary government has invariably
proved a fat failure in semicivilized
countries.
The negro republics of Liberia and
Hayti form the most glazing example;
but it would hardly be correct, after
all, to describe their government as
parliamentary. With the exception of
Chill, which, thanks TO very large adj
mixture of English and Scotch blood in
it's best families, stands far ahead of the
rest, nearly all the Central and South
American republics are pitiable paro-
dies on popular government. The
grossest corruption and incapacity are
thinly yelled by paper constitutions
and clouds of high-sounding verbiage.
In nearly every case they are ruled by
political adventures, who govern really
by force, and will rather plunge the
country into the horrors of a revolution
than forego the spoils of Office. The re-
suit of this deplorable state of things
is to be found, first, in almost con-
slant turmoils, which are merely fac
ton fights on huge scale; and, second
", in the backward condition of the
countries, in spite of their very great
natural advantages; and in the further
fact that, where these advantages are
developed, 1t usually by foreign brains
and foreign capital.

often Victims az the Unf0r-
tanate Mania.

Kleptomania is a much more preva-
lent social crime than people are gener-
ally aware. says a New York exchange.
Thieving, il is called with the lower
classes, kleptomania is the yelled title
for the same offense with those of high
er rank, but, all the same, ii is one and
the same thing. and it is not always the
servants who cause stickpins and other
attractive trifies TO mysteriously disap-
pear from milady's dressing table or
bric-a-brac from the dressing-room.
Every woman who entertains much
knows the inexplicable way in which
certain articles are lost, and, although
her guests are, of course, beyond sus-
picion, she feels sure that ii is not the
servants who are always in fault
II simply cannot keep stickpins in
my cushion" said a social woman re-
Gently. MANY women who are simply
without conscience in regard to them
| have lost six this winter. and several
were really quite valuable"
That's not so bad as having piece
of silver taken before your very eyes,
and not daring to demonstrate, said
another. Zone of my Dutch toys on my
silver table was actually taken by per-
son we both know, and saw her do it,
and did not dare TO say world"
Another woman who has recently
returned from Europe, and whose
hobby is collecting odd and valuable
rings, brought out her collection to
show some friends recently at small
tea she was giving, and found, after
the company had departed, that two
were missing, and yet there had not
been a servant in the room. The infer
ence was unavoidable.
And yet women claim the same sense
of honor that characterizes the men.
