Moral SnobberY.

One Of the commoneSt forms of Snob-
bishness is not social at all, but moral.
Many people are moral snobs W .
When Napoleon said, Il am above o.
rality," he not only gave expression to
what some great people have secretly
thought about themselves, but TO what
thousands of their small admirers have
openly said of them. They do not
reflect perhaps, as they Justify their
heroes, that to declare any one in the
world above morality Is to say that
morality has ceased to exist, has been
found out and exploded, nothing re
naming but some utilitarian rules suit
able for the guidance of mediocre
minds. The moral law must be su-
preme or nowhere Yet this, as it
seems to us, self evident proposition is
by no means easy to apply. Most of
us feel that for any one to lay too
much stress upon the moral shortcom-
ings of a great man is sign OF
small mind or at least of defective
education. We do not habitually speak
Of Nelson in respect of Lady Hamilton,
of Burns in respect of his marriage,
of Bacon in the matter Of his proved
corruption of Coleridge In connection
with his opium habit or Of Charles
Lamb in his cups as we should speak
of Smith. Brown and Robinson in like
circumstances. Must we, then, admit
ourselves to be moral snobs? The
prima facie evidence is very much
against us.-London Spectator
