AMERICAN ARIsToCRACY.

We find in Golfers Weekly a reference to an Englishmanhs som
parlson of English arlstocracy with that whick passes for the SAM
thing in the estimation Of Americans. The author, +. S. Oliver
writing of Alexander Hamilton and his work in the constitutions
convention OF 1877, concludes a chapter with these words of wis
dom:
The principle of aristocracy in a popular government
isl very practical device 70 making use of the upper classes
we use ours while the Americans waste theirs Titles and
prlmogeniture may be absurd, but the fact remains that the
Weather classes IN Britain recognize a public duty attach
nag to their position, while in the United States they do
not. The tradition of the great families in the republic is
as yet, IN the nature OF things, less defined; but, SO far as
1T May be judged by a foreigner, it seems for the most part
unconcerned with the. duties of government, and is tending
more and more toward the acquisition of commercial inhu-
ence upon a scale such as the world has never before seen.
The public spirit of its wealthy citizens is measured by
huge donatives rather than by loyal service. They appear
to entertain a cockney confidence that every obligation can
be discharged by the signing of a check. The conspicuous
virtue In the one case is honor; in the other, enterprise and
=, industry; but if in a purely practical spirit we endeavor to
~ compute the advantage to the state, everything is on the side
Of Britain, from the government of a prsh to the councils
Oh a nation
" There's a world OF truth in these observations, albeit the autho
may have entertained some prejudice in favor of the Briton. MI

trying to buy Their passports through the pearly gates with gifts cal
cnlated to immortaize their own names, might well mediate upo

of puce colored toilets was adopted by

NOT WATERFOWL SENTIMENT.

The Summit independent, in a more or less jocular spirit, be
meath which, however, there is a strain Of seriousness, editorialT
says:
tOur neighbor, South Shore, has a just grievance
against Watert0wn and we do not blame them for kicking
up some dust Every citizen OF South Shore believes with
all his heart that there is oil in unlimited quantities under
that section Of the country. There have been test wells
and now an eastern concern is to put down Il deep We'll.
As a consequence Of South Shores faith IN oil, the town
has got considerable advertising as the FIXTURE oil city
town and claims to be the real oil city of the universe
when as a matter Of fact, it isn't any nearer the prospective
field than Summit or several other towns. South Shore
has vigorously protested against this highway robbery Of
its fame and it has the sympathy Of its ~neighbors. It's a
mean trick Of Watertown's and the best way for South
Shore to get even is to sell a good bunch Of its oil stock
to the citizens OF Watertown.
For the benefit of our Summit contemporary and others, and
FOR the especial enlightenment OF the good people OF South Shore,
The Saturday News assumes authority for saying that the people
Of Watertown have no disposition whatever to claim honorS to
which South Shore or any other community is entitled.
If it develops that oil is found IN abundance in the immediate
region of South Shore, Watertown will extend as sincere congratula-
contributes TO the u~pbulding Of South Shore must include Water
town within the sphere of its influence.
1t is a hindrance rather than a help to WATERFOWL to claim for
it honors or distinctions or industries which do not, in fact, belong
to IT or with 1T.
The general wish in Watertown is that one of the greatest oil
fields in America may be developed from the experiments now under
way near South Shore.
If any newspaper comment that may have emanated from Wa
tertown newspapers has sought to create the impression that Wa
tertown instead of South Shore is the center of these activities
South Shore may rest assured that it does not reflect the sentiment
Ct the people of Watertown.
The distance between the two towns, as the crow flies, is only
about seventeen miles, and WATERFOWL well knows that any bene-
fits accruing to South Shore will naturally spread out to include
Watertown.
Hurrah for South Shore
