In the palmy days of the Greek re publics, many centuries ago, as hiette riaans tett us, when a man rose t"t .111th a height of power or affluence that he because a possible menali'e to the state, tb)4 citizens took a vote on his case as an "undesirable," This wall sent to 'the senate, and, if the rote was sutht'iently large 'and repre- sentative, that body passed a resole tam in which the too distinguished tit Izen was invited, inpolite diplomatic trans, to take a few years of retire- ment abroad -In other words, he was :)ttiei)llly exiled for the good of the etas te. Tints was "ostracism," so called from the fart, it is explained, that the vot- ` ing citizens wrote their names on ort - ter shells, and it was instituted as a measure of security to the common. wealth. Arty citizen of great wealth or influence or who had a .large• per- sonal following which might, in an emergency, be used to the detriment of the state was liable to receive this distinguished mark of public consid- eration- It was a kind of primitive "recall," which had theadvantage of being equally applicable to "ins" and "outs." Those early Greeks Were wonderful fellows, who knew how. t -o deal with knotty problems of their day, which doubtless included grafting and other human peculiarities not unknown in our own time. If an election did not suit them or if any man swelled too far' above his fellows there was al- ways the Ieveling oyster as •a whole- some corrective in reserve. -Christian Herald.
