London's High Rents.
m the Chicago Journal.

From the Chicago Journal
He is indeed a lucky man who owns build
ing property within the four-mile radius
of London, for he can command a small
fortune in the way of rental for his houses,
shops or offices, the case may be. Sin
gularly enough, it is not in the west end of
London. as many people imagine. where
the highest rents are paid. but near the old
lady of Threadneedle street. Some time
ago one room near the Royal Exchange let
for between $4,000 and $4,000 year. while
a house agent who advertised certain prop
critics in Throgmorton street asked 81 200
yearly rental for each of seven telephone
boxes. For a suite of three rooms on the
mezzanine floor 5000 a year was also
asked, and $4,000 required for six rooms
on the first floor
For shops and business premises in the
Strand gigantic rents are paid, although, of
course, Bond street is the dearest thorough
fare in the world with regard to shops.
Many shopkeepers between Charing Cross
and the old Lyceum Theater pay between
$4,000 and $15, 600 rental. exclusive Of rates
and taxes. Perhaps one might be able to
obtain very small shop for So. 900 or s., 500
per annum; but such price would secure
very Indifferent ommodhtion-probably
only the one room which faced the street.

GERMANY VS.. SUFFRAGE.
Discussion as to Whether or Not 10
Antagonizes the Democratic Idea.

Translation In the Literary Digest.
Universal suffrage is now too persistently
and too Systematically attacked In Ger
many to leave any doubt in the mind OF the
Journal des Debats (Paris) that the Prus-
sian conservatives mean to effect funda-
mental change in the electoral basis of the
reichstag. German newspapers appear TO
have reached a similar conclusion. The
Preussische Jahrbucher tBerlin), having ac-
cess 10 the best sources of information. be-
lieves that some Prussian conservatives
contemplate dissolution of the empire itself
and its immediate reconstruction with uni
versal suffrage eliminated. The Berlin
periodical names some influential members
of the Prussfan parliament, one Of whom
holds office in the emperor's household, as
leaders of the attack upon the existing suf-
frage basis of the reichstag. The Bis
MARKHAM Hamburger Nachrichten, the con-
sentative Kreuz Zeitung (Berlin), and the
protestant Reichsbote (Berln) have made
themselves conspicuous by their support OF
the developing campaign. Says the Reichs-
bote:
"All intelligent men are saying to them
selves that the prevailing Reichstag suf-
frage will lead to the destruction OF the en-
pire, because it hands the reich5tag over
more and more to the socialists and the
ultramontanes. But dread inspired by the
still current superstition of liberal theory
prevents many from saying openly what
they reveal in confidence as their convic-
ton. Everything, even the most sacred. is
criticised but the reichstag suffrage is not
to be criticised. In fact more democratic
form of 1t than ever is demanded, as was
seen in the passage of the voting booth law.
How could serious, politically capable men
thus range themselves on the side of the
radical party, which even now stands cloEe
to the social-democrats?
This and many passages from other Ger
man organs of various political affili atoms
are cited by the socialist Vorwarts tBerlin).
to prove that there is conspiracy to
make an end of the democratic feature In
the national government. National liberal
organs profess no sympathy with the anti
democratic suffrage movement. The liberal
Nation (Berlin), a weekly organ in close
touch with certain element of the reich
stag, accuses Chancellor Won Bulow of Co
quoting with the idea of restricting the
suffrage" Thus 1t interprets a recent seate-
ment of his in the Prussian parliament to
the effect that a suffrage, IF not rightly
used should be suppressed. What is the
value of a right or freedom" asks this
periodical, IF its duration is to depend
upon the Interpretation of its right use by
a political opponent" The Leipsic Neueste
Nachrichten, the other hand declares
that universal suffrage was originally ac-
cepted for the reichstag by Bismarck as "a
weapon against Austria I'd the foreigner
generally in the struggle for German
unity" when this hastily seized weapon
turns against the duration of the empire,
the logical conclusion follows.

Russian Corruption.
n the London Chronicle

From the LONDON ChTOnlcIc.
A few years ago a certain Russian war
ship was on special duty In the Bcnring sea
guarding the seal fsheries-that ls to say,
preventing the slaughter of the lady seals
during the close season. The admiral OF
the station in the course of an inspection
of the vessel invited any of the sailors who
had any complaint to make to step for
ward. One of the men. as spokesman for
the whole crew, complained that the seal
money" promised them had not been paid.
On the astonished admiral inqu,ring what
he meant 1t came out that the ships COM
mander had been doing lucrative trad&
by killing the seals placed under his pro-
and had taken the crew into partnership.
