Inlluencn of smart society on tho pnbllo service, I wish to reply to my critics. They allego that In exposing tho bad smart set I attack tho nrlBtocracy. There is no con nection between tho two. Tho bad smart society being destitute of culturo nnd not re markabln for breeding, assumes too much in Identifying Itself with the aristocracy. Smait eocloty has no more prldo of raco than the army mule, and Is as likely to begot pos terity of valuo to the nation. If a word may bo coined to describe them, 'kakneracy' Is tho term more fitly to bo applied In speaking of thn bad smart set. To be spoken of as 'kakocrals' may yet bo their destiny. What I hnvo endeavored to show Is that Inefllc. lency In certain departments Is duo to In equality of opportunity; lhat public serv ants havo been chosen by favor rather than for their titnefcs; that If tho empire Is to bo saved a now departuro Ib necessary and that tho Influence of smart society must bo ex tirpated at all costs." tato of John McClelland, for contempt of court becauso ho refused to transfer tho es tate to William Van Eps, whom Judgo Wilkes on February 8 nppolnted adminis trator of the estate, Tabor has since per sistently refused to pay the flno or transfer the cstato and Is yet In tho custody of tho sheriff.
