HE passion for ruling, though most completely developed in despot- ism, {s confined to no form of government. It is the chief peril of free states, the natural enemy of free institutions, It agitutes our own country and still throws an uncertainty over the good experiment we are making here on behalf of liberty. It is the dis- tinction of republican institutions that whilst they compel the passion for Power to moderate its pretension and to sty itself with more limited grati- fication, they tend to spread it more widely through the community and to make it a universal principle. The doors of office being open to crowds burn to rush in, a thou- sand hands are stretched out to grasp the reins which are denied to none, Perhaps in this boasted and boasting land of liberty not a few if called to state the chief good of a republic would place it in this—that every man Is eligible to every oMce and that the highest places of power and trust are prizes for universal competition. The superiority attributed by many to our institutions ts not that they secure the greatest freedom, but give every man a chance of ruling; not that they reduce the power of government within the narrowest limits which the safety of the state admits, but throw it into as many hands as possible. The despot's great crime is thought to be that he keeps the delight of Holmes Out-SherlockeJ. IR Arthur Conan Doyle, M. D.

One day he came home, his eyes shining. “Old man Cosgrove was in to-day, Sue, and he told me to load up on Transatlantic M., so I bought two hundred shares,” “Oh, good!" I exclaimed. “But isn't that a lot, dear, until you know how it’s going to act?” “Wha your nerve, just as you have suc- ceeded in making me find mine? We have nearly four thousand to margin) it with, and we are going to make a killing, enough for the house, and get out!” “All right,” I replied, noticing how nervous he seemed.
