A DECAYING POWER.

England faces the new century di-
vested of much of the power and
prestige which it accumulated in the
OLD.
/. has been by common consent
ratel as the mistress Of the seas, and
its lower among the nations of the
wor i from both a commercial! and
military standpoint has been univer-
sallv recog nized.
following the instincts Of greed
and injustice it has sought to make
a conquest of weak and insign,fi-
cam republic, and its struggle with
this puny toe has exposed to the
world the utter hollowness of any
pre,entions which Great Britain may
claim as fighting nation.
England has discovered that she is
unable to mass the same quality OF
fighting material in South Africa as
she threw into the breach at Water
loo under Wellington or pitted against
her !oes on the Baltic under the in
dom nitable Nelson. AS nation
there has been deterioration in the
adm Illustration of the government

the metal OF her troops.
In all her departments the admins.
trative power is vested in persons
who have some sort of political pull
and capacity, and merit cuts no fig
ure.
The supply department, like ou1
own during the Spanish war, j:
honeycombed with scandal and rot
tenness and her commissary in the
field is not as good as the Beers.

for the plaintiff was rendered.
The defendant was executor. OF the

brother, T. d. Woodruff, and
others, but later bought it back.
During the past ten years he has
disposed Of much of the property,
including the Media addition. for
which he received about $4,000
The suit was brought in 1894 and

murrer Of defendant, which has
been sustained by the lower courts.

Ir is being told for purposes oI

Ir is being told for purposes of
laughter, perhaps, that the ques
tion of the relative merits Of
lawyers and editors as to veIacity
arose recently at social affair
where both professions were about
equally represented. Each OF
course claimed the honors, but the
final settlement Of the question
was left to representative of each
side. These representatives were
to prepare essays and submit them
to a committee. The best essay
would decide the question. And
this was the prize essay: "There
is one editor in heaven, though
how he got there the Lord only
knows, but it is supposed he rode
in on the blind baggage or got a
pass. When they found him there
they tried to turn him out, but he
refused to go. Then they hunted
all over heaven for a lawyer to
serve him with ejectment papers,
but they could not find one. Sc
the editor held the fort and he is
there to this day"
