FRIDAY, AUGUST 22, 1890.
P8aaArs there never was a time in the
history of America when there was a
greater craze for bogus degrees than to.
day and in almost every profession you
will find a few who have not entered by
the presoribed door but have "climbed
up some other way.' A man or woman
is deserving of oredib where by patient
and persistent study they attain to the
goal of their ambition bet the cheap tin
honors and degrees for sale at a low
price afford sensible people ample room
for a good laugh over the vanity and pre-
sumption of the purchaser. The old
world is not by any means an exception
to the rule but the silliness there par.
takes more of the nobility order. Titles
are growing cheaper in Europe every day.
They are now dispensed by a broker in
nobility, whose address is 36 Rue Mau.
barge, Paris, at a very low rate. One can
be a Count for 80,000,000 francs, Vis-
count for 25,000 francs and a Baron for
15,000 francs, and so on down to a Com-
mander at 3,000 francs. It is the Spanish
government which furnishes these, and
the terms are half the amount on appli-
cation and the balance on delivery.
RECENT cases of insubordination among
British soldiers have served to attract
public attention to the state of the army.
Mutinies and desertions do not indicate
a happy condition of things among the
nation's defenders, and English news-
papers of every shade of opinion demand
governmental investigation into the state
of the army. Some go so far as to charge
that corruption and jobbery permeates
every branch of the army and navy ser-
vice, and that the soldiers have taken to
disobeying orders as a last desperate
means of calling public attention to their
grievances. Tyranny on the part of
superior officers is given se the prime
cause of the mutiny at Chatham. The
fact that very few veterans re-enlist is
regarded as evidence that Tommy Atkins
is beginning to dislike soldiering as an
occupation ; while the officers frequently
fail to keep in touch with the rank and
file, and are careless about the content-
ment of those under them. Frequently
men are induced to enlist ander false
pretences, both as to pay and treatment,
and naturally feel sore afterwards.
While the government is adopting a more
'liberal policy toward policemen, postmen
and telegraphers, the soldiers think they
should not be forgotten, and that the
least that can be done would be to pay
them the shilling a day promised at en-
listment, without deducting for clothing
or rations, and to les'en the severity of
the drilling at home stations, which
makes foreign service, even in time of
war, an absolute relict;. --E 0.
IT would appear that ,the rights of non-
smokers are to be respected in some
parts of the world and a restriction
placed upon the youth at least in pro-
hibiting them from smoking "Drum.
head" in the thoroughfares. The Mon.
treal Witness says on this subject :-"The
New York Legislature bas prohibited
boys under sixteen from smoking in pub-
lic places. This law, though in view of
the dire results of juvenile smoking it is
dalculated to be most salutary, is utterly
illogical. It its purpose is to protect the
boys, it will do them quite aB much
harm in private as in public places, and
if its purpose is to protect the publio,
men's smoking is as bad at boy's smok-
ing. Laws do not usually busy them-
selves with protecting individuals against
themselves, except in ease of the laws
against suicide, ander whittle head the
juvenile smoking habit might doubtless
be classified. The publio has, we think,
a good right to protection against an-
noyance from the selfish. Smokere who
taint the sir of publio planes for their
personal gratification do so out of pure
selfishness, and the time will come when
such a gross trespass upon our refined
taste will have to be repressed, unless,
indeed, it disappears of itself like snuffing,
which was onto universal but is now
looked upon as too nasty to be socially
tolerated."

W1teT to do with Ireland and the Irish
is a problem the British parliamentar-
ians have been trying to solve for some
time and, apparently, with very unfavor-
able results as far as arriving at a satis-
factory arrangement to the Hibernian.
The following, from the Toronto News,
would indicate that there is a 'silver
lining to the black aloud: -"The British
Parliament has prorogued after a weari-
some session, during which the Irish
obstructionists almost wore the members
out. Little more then this did they
effect, and almost the last words they had
with the Government were those of Mr
Tanner, when he alluded to Mr. Matthews
as a skunk. But while the gallant
Nationalists were trying to break down
the British legislators by prolonging the
sessiou as far as possible, reports come
from Ireland of the most cheering char-
acter. The crops are good, work is
plentiful, wages are high and the people
are happy, from which it is judged that
the iron heel of the oppressor is not
stamping the populace as was its wont.
The Nationalists will attribute this to
the agitation, but it looks very much as
if it was the firm course of Mr. Balfour
to which is attributable the great change
which bas come over the people. Now
they can pay their just debts without in-
timidation or fear of molestation. In-
offensive people can live in harmony with
those about them without having their
oattle maimed and their cabins burned,
the law is respected, life and property are
safe and the people are happy at being
relieved of the grinding tyranny which
erstwhile beset them and almost crushed
them. This, according to unbiased ao-
oount, has been the result of Balfourism
in Ireland, and if that be so it is some-
thing whioh the people will wish to see
perpetuated. There is nothing like a
strong hand and resolution to control
malgcontente and make them amenable to
the laws.

Ned Hanlon writse to the New York
World ag follows: "Seeing that Mr.
Gaudaur will not acknowledge my ao-

ns Serabogn Lake, Geneva Lake or the

him 15 monde elarb iu a three -mild race
for 51,000 to $2,500 a side, I reserving
the right to name the day in the week on
which the race shall be rowed. Or I re-
peat my challenge to him, for which I
have a 5250 forfeit deposited in The
Clipper office, viz; To row him for 51000
to $2000 a side over any fair course in
American waters which we eau agree
upon, the referee whom we shall mutual.

tion of'the water upon which it shall be

him, and on one occasion he kept over
10,000 people wailing until after dark,
finally refusing to oome out and row,
claiming the water was too rough. Nor
am I the only man who has had snap
experiences with trim. I simply desire
to proteob myself against being hum-
bugged by him, and against the possibil-
ity of being uharacborised as a hippod•
romer. My next proposition to Gaudaur
is this : I will row hint over his favorite
course, and all I ash is fair play ; will
concede everything to him and accept 15
