avoid almost all its bitters Wealth does not establish papers to prove that property is robbery. When it dabbles in journalism at all is teachings tend to show that all would be well if people would but be content with the sphere of life, in which it has pleased God to place them. Bearing this in mind, it will readily be understood that the Economist would not willingly say anything unpleasant about the occupants of thrones, But the suicide of the Austrian heir apparent has had the effect of drawing from the "London broadsheet a statement of a remarkable kind. Under the date of February 9th a leader appeared which showed pretty plainly that many European princes are mad and many more in fair way to become ao. The plan suggested for remedying this evil is to widen the marriage circle or, in other words, to bring some Fold and wealthy families up to the royal level so far as matrimony is concerned. and by such means work off the monarchical aberration by degrees. "I'is greatly to be regretted," the Economist says, "that the reigning.houses keep up with such rigidly their laws of marriage and do not give their families a fairer chance of reinvigoration in mental and physical health and strength." In a word, monarchs should not be covetous. Having contracted insanity, they should be generous and circulate it among the higher classes. It stay be objected that the higher larifies intended to be honoured by inoculation with royal idiocy have a fair share of mental and physical malformition already, and might object to the introduction of a new kind of imbecility. Even should' such' be the case however, no diffenlly reed be experienced in finding people anxious to undergo the risk. If the European royal houses would not object to colonists, we in Australia could readly furnish from the best classes vigerous and reputable men and maidens. who would gladly take in band the renovation of crazy princesses and rambling grand dukes.
It is clearly stated in the suggestive article before us that one cause of the mental misfortune among princes is their being over-educated for their binie-power. Feople undazzled by monarchy and its surroundings migh be found rude enough to insinuate that, even so, the acquirements of hereditary rulers need not be extensive. All efforts to pour the contents of a tetspot into a pint have hitherto, and from the nature of things, failed. Not to go beyond our own reigning family, it might be confidently advanced that any attempts to over-educate our rulers and their relatives, from the time when George 1. landed in England with Mesdames of Kielmansege and Schulenberg-known in London as the Maypole and the Elephant-down to the present, must necessarily have met with indifferent success. No training could make the first Guelph speak any English, or the second much. As for the third and his successors, it will not be denied that the amount of knowledge obtainable at an average charity-school would have sorely taxed their understandings. But it is in the method suggested by the Economist for lessening the effects of royal lightheadedness that the real danger lies. We are told, for instance, that "the two great families of Europe, Catholic and non-Catholic, marry their cousins so regularly that if any disease creeps in it cannot get out"; and, again, we have seen a list of twenty princes and princesses under medical care for brain-affections, and the number displays a perilous tendency to increase." Instead of denying the highest post in the State to persons physically or mentally weak, it is proposed to lessen this taint by spreading it over a larger surface-that is, by joining, the sound and the unsound in wedlock. But so insidious is the action of in sanity, and so lasting its manifestations, that the project, if adopted, would merely increase the number of families where lunacy could be sought with the certainty of success. As the least germ of insanity will leaven a whole mass, there is little doubt that in time not alone the old nobility but the entire body of the middle classes as well, would be fairly on the road to frenzy. In short, instead of having one fool at the bead of affairs, it is intended to strengthen his administration by a supply of madmen.
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 1889.
farmes, 1e Economist aateis - Except under amray the Commander-in-Chieför Mənizler of War becomes too important a personnge in be State. This danger, as well as the danger of military anarchy, discredits Republican institutions." But the real dangers to such institutions are two-popular ignorance and a long course of political servitude. "Let but an educated Demccracy once get sufficient time, as in the United States, to teach generations of its citizens their duties and their rights, and no fear need be entertained of a Cesar, Two episodes in American history bring out this fact clearly. When the success of Washington was assurd, his army, si ring under the neglect of Congress, was not at all averse to the seizure of supreme power by its Chief. There was no force in the land to stop him. His patriotism, however, was superior to his ambition, and so passed the great danger to the liberty of the infant commonwealth of being strangled in its cradle. But no such proposal would have been entertained by the soldiers only that they had been reared in the belief that monarchy was essential, and that, the Guelph humpty-dumpty having toppled from the wall, it was necessary to put another in its place, Mark the difference when Grant stood at the head of his devoted and victorious legions. Not a few European authorities expected and hoped that he would do as Louis Napoleon did 14 years before. They forgot that the monarchical poison had been completely expelled from the American system by Bo years of popular rule,
That the reigning families of Europe will bitterly oppose the proposed method of toning down their eccentricities is certain, It was but the other day that a commation war caused from St. Petersburg to Madrid through Prince Battenberg's marrying into the ballet. Even our own Queen was so incensed at the mesalliance as to withdraw an order given for his portrait. As wives, it is generally conceded that no class is so apt as ballet dancers to drive men to madness. It would be curious to ascertain if they possess the faculty of curing the disease as well as causing it. The whole clence of homeopathy is based on the ascertained fact that what will cause an. ailment will also cure it. That ladies who cross a large stage in three bounds, pirouetting en route, possess an aptitude for driving even elderly men to mania is certain. It would sul be worth while to try if they could also modify the misfortune when 'uamis- takably developed. It is difficult to understand how disease could have crept into Imperial and Royal houses considering the care taken of the scians' morals. In certain quarters of Paris.no doubt sorne information on this subject might be secured. At all events a fair trial: should b- given to the ballet and to some of the more active artistes in opera bouffe before recourse was bad
to the hazardous experiment advocated by the
Economist.
and that any movement of the successful soldier towards a Dictatorship would have been received with universal laughter.

It is not so in France where, even at the present moment, it is to be feared that a success- ful and unscrupulous soldier would have no great difficulty in reaching the supreme power. This is because Democracy in France has never had the same chance as in Amerien of teaching its creed to successive generations. Still, with no lack of royal and military pretenders ready to seize her by the throat at the first opportunity, the fact remains that Republicanism is the form of government that divides France least. If it is said that the Germans, a highly-educated people, are strongly attached to monarchy,

of the Company will, under Article 48 of the with Socialism, and, in the next, that if the literary culture of the Germans is high their Articles of Association, he held at the Offices of political education is backward. In the famous the General Managers, Messrs. HME, RINGER article on the "Bismarck Dynasty" in February's Co., at Nagasaki, at 30'CLOCK in the After- Contemporary will be found: "At any moment noon, on FRIDAY, the 4th day of July cext.
By Order, the authorities [German].can peruse all the private correspondence of a lifetime by the simple process of accusing you, with or without evidence, of any imaginary offence, and then enter- ing your premises and impounding your papers." To call such a country free is a mere abuse of terms. As nations advance politically so must the noxious principle of heredity disappear. How absurd that principle is can be scen in Holland the present moment. In order. to provide a ruler for tits people an old man determines to marry at an advanced age. A daughter is the result. She, poor child, has now to give up some of the time which should be devoted to dolls in order to be taught how to govern, her aged father, having been declared incapable. What has this inoffensive little one done that she should have her childish head turned so cruelly? The world might be searched in vain for any thing more grotesque-more illustrative of human folly-than the sight of grizzled statesmen and proud priests bowing to the ground before children in arms who receive their obeisances with a crow. As things are now going it would appear as if the time was approaching when Europe will be governed by infants and lunatics.--Sydney Bulletin
