their DEGREES. This is a state Of Affairs
brought about by the demagogues. For In
democracies which are subject to the law
the best citizens hold the first place. and
there are no demagogues: but where the
laws are not supreme. there demagogues
spring up. For the people becomes
monarch, and is many In one; and the
many have the power In their hands, not
as individuals, but collectively. Homer
says that it IL not good to have q rule OF
many. but whether he means this cor
porate rule. or the rule Of many tndi-
v,duals, ts uncertain. And the people,
CHI is now a monarch. and no longer
under the control Of law. seeks to exer-
else monarchical sway. and grows into
q despot; the fiatterer IL held In honor !;
this sort Of democracy being relatively to
other democracies what tyranny is to
other forms of monarchy. The spirit of
both Is the same. and they alike exercise
q despotic rule over the better citizens.
The DEGREES Of the demos correspond to
the edicts Of the tyrant; and the dema-
Kogue Is to one what the fiatterer Is to the
other. Both have great power: the nat
terer with the tyrant. the demagogue with
democracies of the kind which We are de-
scribng. The demag0gues make the de-
crees Of the people override tho laws. and
refer all things to the popular assembly.
And therefore they grow great, because
the people have all things IN their hands
and they hold in their hands the votes OF
the people. who are too ready to listen to

CONTINUED NORTH WINDS.
Trips of Vessels Bound From
Southern Ports Protracted.

The continued northerly winds are
causing a continuous run of low tides
and Is greatly interfering with the
voyages of vessels bound from the
south to northern points. Early in the
week there was day or two of south
erly winds and the tides began to
make up quite well, but the wind again
shifted to the northwest and yester-
day the water in the harbor was two
or three feet below its ordinary tide
level, and vessels lying in shoal docks
were on the bottom at low water
;ivermen who have been making
study Of the weather for tho past
quarter of a century or longer and
who are able to guess the weather
with considerable degree of accuracy
refuse to make predictions, and say
that the weather has had them guess
ing for the past six months. Vessels
laden with lumber and coming here
from North Carolina points are having
long voyages, 1T often taking from two
to three weeks to make trips that
ordinarily would have been made in
half the time. Those going from this
city to North Carolina points. however
are able to make quick trips. and this
in a measure, evens up the time taken
on the up trip.

The Black Handkerchief.

rom the LONDON Stan0ard.
The $1,000 black silk handkerchief
which the admiralty have just ordered
from Macclesfield firms are not for pock-
ct use. as benighted longshoremen may
imagine. They are part Of the outfit OF
every seaman who is under the rank OF
chief petty officer, and they are as neces-
sary to the service as duck trousers. 1t
was one Of the conditions of the tender
that the handkerchiefs should be of
British make throughout. Macclesfield
silk manufacturers have previously had
the execut on Of this order. the value OF
which is nearly Ell, 1000. The black hand
kerchief is one of the two items in the
British bluejacket's kit which were add
ed as a memorial Of Nelson. The hand
kerchief is worn round the neck under
the collar and is tied in front with a
black ribbon. 1t was after the death of
the great admiral that it was adopted.
Seamen generally have three Of the ar
ticles. one for dress occasions. such as
reviews and Sunday wear, one for ordi-
nary use and the last for dirty work
The handkerchief Is worn by stokers and
seamen alike, but 1t Is confined to the
bluejackets. All above the rank of chief
petty officer wear the fore and aft rig,
that is frock coat dress. The other item
in the dress of the bluejacketS which was
put on In memory of Nelson is the three
white stripes on the collar. These are In
memory Of Nelson's three famous VIC
tories, Trafalgar, Nile and Copenhagen.

The Timelessness Of Rome.

Few of us ever ask ourselves wherein

not consist in q physical eternity. FOR
Rome was not without beginning and she
shall surely not be without end. 1t Is

eternity as Kant has taught 1t to us,
the eternity OF timelessness. 1t Is the
timelessness Of Rome. rather than the
actual extent of time which makes the
eternal, and this timelessness shows it
self In nothing more clearly than in
Rome's eternal youth. She who today
might well be an old lady. with her three
thousand winters. is only the incorpora-
woman. with her head full Of socialistic
theories and her garments ornamented

From the Westminster Gazette.

Much is heard in these days of the cost
of living having gone up. but it is rather
curious to find that in spite OF 1t all the
amount OF money deposited in the savings
banks of the country continues to In
crease by leaps and bounds. A year ago
the Edinburgh Savings Bank showed an
increase in it's funds Of E1O6 600; this
year it shows an increase of over E16O.OOO
Not only has the amount deposited in
creased but the number of depositors
has increased also So some Scots at
