While the world is naturally shocked at

diSgraced some of the elements in the up
per crust of London society It need not be
assumed that the British people as whole
are degenerating. The British are like
other men, largely subject to their environ
ment and therefore corruptible. Since the
earliest history of the human race it has
been constantly experienced that only
small proportion of the human race can
withstand the allurements of combined
wealth idleness and luxury.

MONEY ORDER OFFICE.
Biggest Christmas Transactions in Its
History.

The post Office officials claim that the
best evidence of the prosperity OF the coun-
try f. to be found in the workings of the
money order system of their department.
The best time of the year to obtain the
figures It Is said, is during the Christmas
holidays. or rather before the Christmas
holidays, when the people OF every section
of the country are sending presents OF
money to persons in other sections. Ac-
cording to the observation Of many OF the
post office statisticans the greatest num-
Der of postal money orders for the great
est amount of money In aggregate, are
obtained by foreign residents Of the United
States; that is. persons who have emigrated
TO this country, but who yet retain resi-
dence abroad and send money to their rela-
tives In the old countries. The greater
number of such foreign residents are Eng
nsh or from English dependencies. In
every large city of the country, and in al
most every flrst-class post office, the bust
ness done In the money order department
during the past week has been phenomenal.
This year, 1t is said, the amount of money
sent out of the country far exceeds that
of any previous year in the history of the
money order system,
During the past forty years there mas
not been such business done by the post
offices In our department at least, as was
done last week and Is being done now,
said Mr.. James 7. Metcalf. superintendent
of the money order bureau of the Post
Office Department. The work of some of
the officers Is stupendous We received
report from the Chicago post office today,
in which is contained statement to the
effect that the business of that office for
December IL was 1891 800 6S, almost a mil
lion In single day. This Is the largest
business ever done by post office In the
United States. Last year on December II
there were shipped from New York to Eng
land money orders to the value of $4,000.
Last Saturday there were shipped money
orders valued at f7200o The postmaster
general signed yesterday an order provid-
ing for the payment of $4,000 In money
orders to be sent to foreign countries This
Is the largest amount by several hundred
thousand that has ever been sent away on
a previous occasion. This Is the barometer
which tells OF the rise and fall of the for
tunes Of the people of the laboring classes
The laboring people are the only ones who
use the money order system. The weather.
classes transact their business by check.
This time OF year, however, the business
that is being done by the money order
offices shows an enormous increase on &C
count Of the Christmas presents of cash the
foreign population of the United States is
sending to the home folks abroad. l have
heard that In Philadelphia recently there
were several very large money orders pur-
chased. One man bought money order
for his folks in Russia to the amount of
$lsD0 and shortly thereafter an Irish serv-
ant bought an order for S700 to send home.
Many orders are issued for 500 and $500,
these sums being in the majority
