" THE WILD DREAM OF WOULD-BE ARIS TOCRATSf D There is an association of persons, styling themselves. the Holy League " of the Peers of America, who at cas- h unal intervals. issue circulirs orna mented with a tremendously compki= c cated rediseal and hinting at the most n startling mysteries. The object of a the league appears to be the creation of an ordei' of American nobility s, Preposterous as thiese ciriula s are,' they undoubtedly .epress wstha is a growing feelingq in whih nii- smallm ; number of people slhare.- :. Everybotly comp~ehnds~bn i at in time we must have some change inl our manner of conducting the govern ment. It is impossible that intelli gent men should be bontenttto go on'forever under the rule of ward pol iticians and other thieves, while- thei best elements of the nation are kept out of public life. The change which' shall place the governing power in the hand-.of the honest and intelli gent will niot, however; take the form of an empire or any return to the fortns which have been so long tried and tested in the 014 World. No doubt the 'monarchical governments had theer advantages as well as-their faults, but the obvious fact is that we have not tho*naterial jn' this countiry` that is necessary to tihe creation tf an old fashioned monarchy. :To im proviso an aristocracy by making Tom, Dick and Harry dukes or mar quises or earls would be to make them supremely ridiculous, We may, howvever, gite to our real aristocracy, the capitalists, who already wield, a greater .power than the nobility of England, some more recoghition than is now extenided to them. The peers of America, will never wear titles of no ility `utside the assemblies of their league. If they wish to be part of the Ireal American aristocracy, they must first become Vanderbiltri or Scotts, .or Goulds,---[New: York %iaphic. -------"r~~C- -A KINGSTON, Jamaica, corres pondsit of the Buffalo Courieir, says; "In the 'latter end of the last century old Port.toyal disappeared beneath: he waves in an earthquake, lea~ing no other memorial behind than these few patches of .reefs.
