more conspicuous because its organi- zation Is better and because it has sys- tematized the art of carrying elections. Democracy asks for its successful working three things-public spirit. in- telligence and leisure. These condi- tions were pre-eminently fulfilled in Athens, and they are fulfilled today in Scotland and the English provinces. They are not fulfilled in New York, be- cause New York has the metropolitan indifference to civic affairs, because the leisured class is too small to count, and because the electoral machinery throughout America has been so be- wilderingly overorganized that er1ly ex- perts, giving their whole time to the business, can hope to manipulate 1t. That is why politics in New York and elsewhere have become not merely A trade but a monopoly, in the coils of which the man in the cars' who prefers god government, but Is too busy to see that he gets it, Is almost as helpless as a small trader against the steel combine. Tammany never really wastes. ''Disgruntled" Tammanyites may form rival bodies, the good citi- zens" may get together for time and overthrow 1t, the revelations of 2 Tweed ring may stir the New Workers from his merry and imperturbabls cynicism and set him earnestly can- wasting a reform ticket, but when the storm has blown by.

LOngman's Magazine

AOnBnan s magazine.
 After the advent of the House of Hanover, the favorite games at Court were 'quadrille," an improvement of 'ombre." and commerce" The gains and loses of the Kings and Queens were as rule restricted to 100 guineas, but on Twelfth Night it was customary for thousands to change hands. On one occasion Lady Cowper. a lady in waiting, refused, for the sake of her children, to take part in the game, as none sat down to the table with less than &200. About the year T740 afrage for "whisk," or whist, set in, but at first it was considered too wise game for ladies to join in. Hume, the his- torian, never went to bed without his whist, and even the great Johnson re- gretted that he had not learned to play cards. In 1742 "Horry" Walpole finds it absolutely necessary to learn "whisk having waited in vain for its being left off," We find him in another lAt- ter threatening to build an altar to Pam" to commemorate the escape of his charming Duchess es Grafton, who 1t appears, had been playing cards in Rome, when she ought to have been at a Cardinals reception, where the floor fell in and all the Monsignors were precipitated into the cellar! Cards were so very much en evidence in his time that even invitations were frequently issued and notes written upon the backs of playing cards, which on that account were usually plain without any design. The Chevalier's famous order to retreat at Culloden was written on the back of the nine of hearts.
 A fresh attempt was made in 1739 to remedy the state of gambling in Eng land by passing an act which provided that any person keeping a house or other place to game in forfeits R200. half to the prosecutor and half to the poor of the parish" Whereupon two ladies of title. Mordington and Cas- sells, who kept open houses for gamb- ling claimed their privilege of peerage in order to intimidate the peace officers from doing their duty and suppressing the public gaming houses kept by them.

 of $2, 1000.

Mobile, May 31.-(Special. )-The jury in the case of Captain Cyril w. King. on trial in the United States District Court, returned a sealed verdict last night, which was opened in court this morning. The verdict found the de- fendan1 guilty of accepting g bribe. the maximum for which is three years in the penitentiary, and a fine three times the amount of the bribe accept ed, which in this case was $2.000.

 Sentence was suspended for ten days and King was released on bts $10,000 bond.
 The city schools closed this morning and there were thirty-eight graduates, twenty-seven girls and eleven boys.

ATTITUDE OF VATICAN
RoME's POSITION AS TO PHILIP.
 PINE FRIARS.
Head of Church Does Not Desire That Religious Orders Submit to the Conhscation of
 Their Property.

Philadelphia. May 31.--Monsignor Nosealada de Villa, Archbishop of Manila, in an interview accorded the Rome correspondent of The Catholic Standard and Times. which will be published tomorrow, foreshadows very clearly what will be the attitude of the Vatican toward the friars in the Philippines. The archbishop of Manila, says the correspondent, has been in Rome since November last, but his presence has passed unnoticed. He has been undoubtedly tarrying in Rome at the desire of the Pope. It may be said authoritively that he is awaiting the arrival of Monsignor Chapelle. the papal delegate to the Philippines, who. probably not by a mere chance, will be in Rome at the time of the visit of Cardinal Gibbons. ~4ss
 This morning." eMay 1s) the corres- pondent continues, "the Archbishop opened the interview by returning 10 me some newspaper clippings I had submitted to him. One of the latest of these stated that a controversy has arisen between the Holy See and the religious orders in the Philippines. ow- ing to the desire of the Vatican that the latter should sacrifice their pSs- sessions. The reason alleged as hav- ing been given on the part of the Vatican was that these possessions had been created on behalf of the mis- sions. and that. the right of religious orders ceasing by their withdrawal, they should revert to tho missions. The Archbishop said:
 That is false entirely
 "'And the project of secularizing the religious orders?' asked.
 "'That.' his grace replied, is not so much as worth speaking of. It cannot so much as be entertained. It Is en- tirely out of the question:
 T asked the Archbishop about the report of the Taft Commission, insofar as his grace's words were concerned.
 That he answered, is fairly Cor- rect, if not quite complete. I would lay stress upon what I say there about the Filipino's extreme susceptibility of outside influences. This great factor in his character. Consistency he has little of in his character, but in enc thing l am convinced he will be con- stant.'
 That is his desire for independence? "'Just that. The natives will never be removed from that idea. They will easily give in but their easy submission will not be of enduring effect"
