OUR "SOGIETy" LENDERS.

Henry Watterson of Kentucky, who
has been saying some exceedingly plain
things OF late about that New York
and Newport social set commonly
called the Four Hundred has received
a powerful ally. The New York Sun
of a week or so ago contained an edi-
torial article of extraordinary force
and candor which, while it deprecated
some one or two of Watterson's most
violent denunciations, supported all his
really important criticisms with a
vigor which will, no doubt, make him
envious.
There is no doubt that the New York
Sun knows all about New York society,
and it should be accepted as an author
ity, even though Kentuckian be re-
viled and ridiculed as a gaping hay
seed. The Sun says:
The prevailing tone is low. the life
is dull, and vicious indulgences appeal
to over-stimulated tastes. That al
ways happens in a society surfeited
with luxury. 1t has been so since the
world began and that this corruption
will increase faster in a society with
out ideals that rise above mere animal
enjoyment. without public spirit, with
out 3 sense of public obligation, with
out dignity. is inevitable, Of course.
The seeds of corruption are present in
the low moral tone of such a "set," its
intellectual vacuity and it's appetite
for uncleanness but positively scan
dalous conduct is unusual enough in
it to be an exhibition which piques
curiosity. 1t is not yet taken as a mat
ter of course. Mr.. Watterson is justi-
fed in attributing moral degeneration
to the women of this society. Un-
doubtedly 1ooseness of speech has gone
to an extreme with some of these
women which is not much exceeded in
feminine ranks frankly disreputable.
Then. after a somewhat nauseous
illustration of the style of converse
1ior one may hear at a really fashion
able Newport dinner, the Sun con-
Guides:
This Is all very vulgar; but Mr.
WatLerson need not deplore it as q
dangerous social symptom. 1t is only
a superficial and an ephemeral disease
Those people are too trifiing to be lead
ers. and too coarse and crude in their
social tastes, too feverish in their
novel enjoyment of wealth, to be ex-
emplars at period of enlightenment
Fortunately, they segregate themselves
to build up a permanent society, and
in their own "set," by themselves, lei
them remain, to illustrate anew the
powerlessness of money alone to give
grace and dignity to society.
Upon the whole, we fancy the Sur
is more scathing than Mr. Wattersor
has been, and the more so because nc
one can say that 1t speaks from hear.
say and without authority. The Suns
contempt, as contrasted with Mr. Wat
terson's indignation, strikes us as be-
ing infinitely the more severe.

One religious denomination up in
Indiana has deposed it's bishop because
he brought a suit in a civil court,
which is contrary to the law of their
church. Then they turn about and
threaten that if the bishop attempts to
continue to perform the functions of
the office they will go into court and
enjoin him. 1t would seem that con-
sistency doesn't constitute vast sec
ton of their creed.

ting on the British turf, while Mr..
Wishard, now Mr.. brakes trainer, was
generally looked upon as one of the
shrewdest, keenest and most cunning
Yankees ever seen on an English race
track 1t is likely that Mr. Drake and
Mr.. Wishard will conf1ne their turf
operations hereafter to the winning of
American Derbies in Chicago with
horses of the Wyeth type and of Futu-
rites in New York with colts of the
Savable stamp, and will not undertake
campaigns at Epson and Newmarket,
at Ascot and Goodwood, at Sandown
and Kempton and Doncaster. If they
spent too much time abroad they
might be asked questions now and then
as to the occasional in-and-out run
ming of some of their horses. But
Americans are too amiable to find
fault.
To read this nasty snarl one would
suppose that Savable is an old and
experienced sharper that he had been
haunting race courses for years, and
had acquired a shady reputation as a
trickster and a fraud The sugges-
ton conveyed is that Savable is a dis
reputable old ringer, and that his own
ers, trainers, hackers, etc.. are "con. u
men of the most rancid character. And
there you have the typical New Yorker
in one of his most characteristic poses
If you don't beat him. you are the very
dust beneath his feet; if you do beat
him, you are villain, slave, crook
traitor to the State. How do you
like the New Yorker, anyhow?

INHERITED WEALTH.

Under the will of millionaire STRAIT
ton his son, Harry Stratton, is to re-
ceive $4,000 on condition that he does
not contest the instrument under which
the twelve or fifteen millions of the
estate go to benevolent enterprises.
Young Stratton refuses to accept the
$4,000 and will contest the will.
In the first place the act of the young
man in disregarding his fathers wishes
is very unbecoming. His father start
ed life a poor man, and the youngster
should have the manhood to try to
initiate his sire's example, especially
when given such handsome start as
$4,000.
Aside from this view of the case, the
thought occurs to ask just how long
the people of the world will permit
great fortunes to be- handed down in
bulk from sire to son.
What man acquires is undoubtedly
his own, to do with as he pleases; but
does the right of ownership extend to
all time? Fortune is acquired by
thrift, by genius or by circumstances,
or by combination of all, and when
honestly acquired there can be no OBJ
lection to it's full and free enjoyment
by the owner. But the accumulation
of wealth in the hands of one man,
however acquired, takes so much from
the wealth of the mass, and when it is
handed over in bulk to the rich mans
descendants it passes into hands that
have deserved nothing according to any
rule of merit.
To be sure, man should provide for
those of his own household, but in a
case like this, where young man in
the enjoyment of health receives $780,
900, it does seem that the parental
obligation is entirely discharged, and
it seems also that the organized soci-
ETY. which protected the elder Stratton
in the accumulation and enjoyment of
this wealth is entitled to something at
his hands. as we'll as the young man
who happens to be his son.
Various plans have been proposed
some entirely too radical for the world
to accept, and some entirely mad
eguate for any practical purpose
for the amelioration of this manifest
injustice to the commonweal. OF the
latter class is the inheritance tax
| which has been lately enacted in New
York and other States. Of the former
class, downright confscation or parti-
tion at death have been proposed. 1t
will be- many, many years, of course
before this greedy old world will rise
to the plane of real altruism; but it Is
occasionally worth thinking of these
things, in order to remind ourselves
that social progress Is incomplete and
that the relations of man to man are
still far from the ideal.

NJ Came For Woe.

Stokes-Speaking of mourning, if
your rich uncle were to die, should you
put on black?
Bickers-Certainly not. If he left
me something handsome, why should
be such a hypocrite as to don the
garb of woe? On the other hand, if
he left me out of his will, how could
consistently put on mourning for such
a curmudgeon ?-Boston Transcript.
