When all the preliminaries are over

still the fees. however, to be paid for

dignity conferred. About the only nonors
which carry no such costly patents are
the knighthoods. which are conferred by

by touching the shoulder with a

While the liberals are moving heaven
and earth for money for the approach
ing campaign the tories are having no
trouble at all in getting all that they ask
for. A week or two ago sideshow or
ganization known as the "Anti-Budget

1t Is a fact. of course. that most Of
the wealthy supporters of the tory party
have already got titles which are mel

adding new ones to the collection. They
are really alarmed at the trend OF the

the list Of ,hOnOrs handed out on the
kings birthday last month, but when the
party managers came to look over the
ground they found that they dared not
risk an election for the house Of COM

the check which he had signed ready to

After all. however the government did
not do bad stroke of business on the
kings birthday. 1t made thirteen baron
cts and thirty-five knights, and it is
now living on proceeds which, l am
informed on first-rate authority, amount
ed to nearly $5COOOO, but even that large
sum does not go far in running a great
political party. and there is no more
money in sight.
OF course it must be understood that
not all the honors conferred on British
subjects are paid for. The knighthoods
received by eminent representatives of art
and literature. like Sir Herbert Tree.
Sir Arthur Pnero and Sin Henry Lucy
and eminent scientific men. did not cost
their recipients cent. But the titles
handed out to. comparatively unknown
politicians were all paid for in good hard
cash. The price of the knighthoods may
be averaged at 5000 each, and that Of
the baronetcies. which. while only carry
ing the prefix "sir." like the knighthoods
are transmissible to the sons of the hold
erS. would be about $25, 600 In some
cases political services were considered
and a lower price was accepted. but there
are a number Of cases in which the en-
tire absence of any claim to distinction
indicates that the price must have been
a good deal above the average.
X
1t must not be supposed that the liberal
party has any monopoly Of the sale of
honors. The tories. too. have an I'M
enviable record in this respect, although
1t is perhaps not quite so bad as that Of
the party which processes to stand for
the progress of democracy and to despise
all hereditary titles, which talks of
abOiishing the house of lords and does
its best to recruit its numbers even fast
er than they are reduced by death and the
lapse of old titles. Peerages have no
regular value in the market. They have
