FINE DISTINCTIONS.

There are men who cannot tell hawk from
a handsaw, not even when the wind is south
erly. There are also those who can "distin-
"guish and divide hair 'twiXt south and south
west side" Between the two, it is obvious,
there is much scope for the exercise of the fine
talent of discrimination and for drawing dis
tinctions with differences.
The extent to which such talents are cult
waited was shown in a recent Tagging" case in
the British Army. The question before the
court martial was chiefly whether or not vio-
lence had been used upon the plaintiff. The
plaintiff declared it had The defendants de-
MED it. True, they had laid hands upon him
against his Will. They had "ducked' him
again and again in a fountain. They-at least
one of them-had kicked him. They frankly
admitted that they had roughly handled him.
But there was no violence" or that they
were absolutely certain. DuCking and Kicking
and rough handling, but no violence. In the
end the court gave judgment for the defendants,
thus erecting into a judicial decision the subtle
principle that there is a distinction between
ducking, kicking and rough handling on the one
side and violence" on the other Had they
used violence upon the plaintiff they, would
have been guilty. But as they merely ducked
and kicked and roughly handled him, they were
acquitted.
Again, an esteemed contemporary in the
course of controversy over some of the eter-
nal verities declared that another esteemed
contemporary was IAN Overgrown BOBBY, with
no more brains than a week-old squab" This
sprightly characterization was resented as pass
ing the bounds of legitimate criticism 1t was
pointed out that the offence lay chiefly in the
employment Of adjectives Thus it was not
necessarily ibellous to call a man "booby"
But to call him an "overgrown" BOBBY implied
an undue diSpropOrtion between his gray mat
ter and his adipose tissue, and was therefore
offensive and contumeous. So. too. with the
phrase "week-old squab." Had the plaintiff
been ikened to n squab pure and simple, he
would have had no ground for complaint: for
at certain stages of its career a SQUAD is re-
puted to be a sagacious fowl. But to rank a
man on the intellectual plane Of a SQUAD only
seven days out OF the she'll was a highly OBJ
noxious performance. Our latest adYices do not
indicate the determination Of this interesting
case, but there seems to be good reason to ex-
pect that these fine distinctions will be fully
confirmed.
All of which goes far toward vindicating the
usefulness Of the International Society for the
Propagation Of Esoterc Research into the
Ethical Distinction between Tweedledum and
Tweedledee.

HUNGARIAN ONENg.

Count Khuen Hedervary is in an embarrass-
ing plight. If we should add that the Dual
Realm was in danger OF disruption the state
ment might seem extreme though we are not
at all sure it would be unwarranted But
the former statement Will serve the present
purpose. Count Khuen Hedervary has long
had the reputation Of being one OF Hungary's
strong mea, one Of its very strongest men. AS
Ban OF Croatia for many years he has seemed
to be resOlute, intrepid, infexible-a natural
master OF men. Accordingly he has been looked
TO as one Of the few Hungarian statesmen
worthy, or approximately worthy, 10 succeed
to the place once filed by Tisza, and when IT
was announced that the King had called him
TO be Prime Minister men expected to see a
strenuous and masterfUl administration.
Such expectations have not been realized and
do not seem likely TO be. The Ban signalized
his accession by a complete surrender to the
opposition That is to say he yielded on every
essential point Of controversy to the Kossutb-
lists, or Independence" party. The chief points
on which he yielded were the Army BILL the
tariff and commercial treaties and the Aus
gleich. The concessions which he made to the
kossuthists as the price of their support were
unconcealedly hostile to the perpetuation of the
duai system. The Liharals and the friends OF

He explained to the Liberals that he had not
dropped the Army BILL but had merely placed it
in temporary allegiance, and that he was really
as much devoted to the Union as ever That did
not altogether reassure the Liberals. while it
did rouse the suspicion and resentment of many
of the KosSuthists, who accused their new

Minister of playing them false. So in trying to
please both sides the count succeeded in pleas
ing neither, but in lamentably compromising his
own record.

Venezuelan question and the British capl-
nets attitude in consequence thereof, says
the government is conscious of lack OF
popular support in it's association with
Germany, especially of the disapproval OF
the middle classes.
Premier Balfour and Foreign Minister
Lansdowne have the support of the other
members of the cabinet in their steadfast
determination to carry out the agreement
with Germany. but the ambassador ven
lures the opinion that Lord LansdoWne's s
position is weakened through loss of public
support. and that the cabinet is in a mood
to accept almost any way out of the Vene-
zuelan ENHANCEMENT that promises the ul-
innate payment of the claims.
Ambassador Wolf-Metternich also says a
very genuine dislike exists generally in Great t
Britain to the governments partnership
with Germany, and, in counseling that the
negotiations at Washington be hastened, he
intimates that If the situation becomes
more confused it is conceivable that Co
lonial Secretary Chamberlain on his re-
turn from South Africa may become the
interpreter of the popular view in the cabi-
net and advise the other ministers accord
ingly.

GEN. HEYwooD's SUCCESSOR.
A Lively Fight in Progress for the

A lively fight is in progress among Of
ficers of the Marine Corps for the vacancy
to be made by the retirement Of Major Cen
eral Charles Haywood, commandant of the
corps, October next.
Several candidates already have been
brought forward, the most prominent Of
whom are Colonel. Percival c. Pope, who is
said to have the support of General Hey
wood, Colonel George c. Reid, adjutant of
the corps; Colonel Robert L.. Meade and
Major Littleton w. T. Waller, who was
tried and acquitted of the charge Of having
violated the laws of war in killing captives
without trial in the Philippines.
The staff of the Marine Corps Is anxious
that the appointment be given to Colonel
Reid, who would serve only few months
before retiring for age, and then to Colonel
Frank L. Denny, quartermaster Of the
corps.
Colonel Meade has many friends working
for him. but his recent court-martial is said
to hurt his chances.
