A LOGAN Ono One is 18 glad slad to hear that English peeresses havo have formed a a league to stop tho the aggressiveness of or American women women women wo wo- wo- wo men who have ha c ono one way or another worked their way say to tho the foremost places In royal royn Wo We trust these noble ladles ladies will wm bo be successful in tho ho exclusion of ot who have havo havo purchased recognition through English lords ladles ladle chamberlains Intimates of ot royal royalty and ad their agents If I th the tho Impecunious condition of ot titled personages per per- in England France Face Germany Italy Ialy and othor other European countries forced them to sell sel rent or cato cute their estates and and use their titles for base baso purposes purpose there thero is 15 no reason why tho the luckier nobles should raise ralso an outers outcry against Americans who happened hap hap- to havo have the tho mone money to savo tho the spendthrift from bank bank- It I can cn not bo ho denied that these much despised much wealthy wealty Americans Amen Ameri Amer- Amer cans who have been willing to Invest est In In bankrupt estates and profligate scions of or nobility havo saved more moro than ono one noble house and its is pretentious preten preten- tous but dissolute representative from financial ruin and royal rOal displeasure As s a a matter mater of ot fact tact this movement on tho the part of or tho the members of ot tho tim oldest families Is more moro amusing musIng than otherwise and smacks strongly of or tryIng trying try try- Ing InS to stop such cataracts as Niagara because it has hns been bean demonstrated that American money can cnn take Americans wherever they thoy wl wish h to go go the tho most exclusive court In tho world has hM failed to its Is doors against Americans who have havo o ha reasonably fair fall reputation Boorishness will wi surely never bo be a barrier in their way as the they find plenty plen plen- ty of or male and female boors bor in processions processions pro pro- cessions which only halt halt to mako make obeisance to roal royalty There Thero is Just as much ul vulgar ar pushIng pushIng push- push Ing lug and shoving among amonS lords and md nd ladles ladies on occasions of or presentations and royal receptions as could possibly be bo Indulged In by plebeians who were making their first bow to crowned heads I shall be bo glad to hear that 1 kings Icings and emperors have havo havo made rulIngs rulings rulings rul rul- ings that will 1 prevent money from rom being beInS being be be- ing InS the standard upon which ro royal al favor or Is based and that our scholars scholar distinguished soldiers sailors statesmen statesmen statesmen states states- men and antI citizens may may b bo bi admitted without money and without price prien to tho the presence o of royalty on account of ot something they havo have done dono for the tho ad advancement al- al of ot civilization and tho the bet bet- torment of ot mankind These TheBo peeresses should find out tho the price demanded by those who havo hao the power to bring about about introductions at court for their services In procuring presentations and ad who these brokers arc are Thoy They will wi doubtless bo be shocked at at tho the number of or their own class and oven even nearer nearer tho the throne who havo have and andare are arc still engaged in this nefarious business For our own part we have havo as much contempt for tor Americans who have havo ambitions ambitions am am- to bo Introduced to rol royalty as a these thesa ladles ladies can possibly havo have for them thorn Wo We havo yet to learn of a single advantage antaJo ad derived from being presented at court court It I makes n no one wiser bettor or more to bo courted than they were before and there thero have been bean instances where persons who havo have had tho coveted honor of being presented havo have fallen faten to the lowest lowet depths of ot social depravity Others have havo been weak enough h to bo be so completely completely com com- spoiled as a to bo be Insufferable and have have consequently lo lost t the tho positions tons they held before their presentation presenta presenta- tion ton at court Ono One Is pained to see Americans Americana playing tho the part of ot toadies under any circumstances as they to themselves themselves them them- selves at all aU times proper self respect and should blush to bow their heads or crook their I knees nees to royal royalty to accomplish accomplish ac ac- ac- ac any any purpose whatsoever It I strikes us forcibly that tho ho dear duche duchesses cs have havo o ha neglected too long IonS this exclusion act act Yankee cunning and Yankee co gold Sold have havo placed too many Americans within the to charmed circle of ot royalty for them to be bo dislodged or discouraged It I has long IonS since become a fact that London especially Is Ig completely com corn Americanized American women women women wo wo- wo- wo men wear ear ducal crowns American men wield n a a golden sceptre over o er the business affairs of or moro more than than ono one country and are arc tal taken on Into tho the confidence conf- conf dence of or more moro than ono one titled Indi Indi- vidual The Tho ho presence of ot hundreds of or Americans in tho ho foremost ran rank Ie of or royal society who arc are to bo ho in London London London Lon Lon- don this season may vex tho the souls of ot the tho duchesses but even royalty will wi welcome them cordially cordial b as a they will wi lea leave behind them many golden ducats to gladden the hearts of ot the tho subjects of ot King JS Edward dward VII VI |
