Public opinion has not had time yet to express itself on the action of the county commissioners of two counties in making a large reduction in the cost of liquor licenses. It IS safe enough to say. how- ever, that the peoplewho are startled and astonished now, will be indignant the more they think of it. We do not mean the temperance people. so called. but all people who do not profit by liquor selling. What serious reasons the commissioners will give for a course of action on which they may or may not have come to an agreement to act together. we do not know. but the reason credited to one or two of them. that the saloon keepers com- plained of hard time. is an insult to pub- lic intelligence. The rest of the com. Iiunlty can complain of haul times. too. but instead of having its bllflenfl light- cocdtheyareiocreased to make up for the amount of relief given to the poor saloonke‘ porn. No wonder the Hartford C iurant calls for a bill from the neat Legislature to abolish the office of county commissioner. The liquor ele- ment is a powerful force in politics and politicians b m the knee to it with timid readiness. but we think this act of the commissioners will rouse public Opinion to a movement which in the end will work radical changes hi our treatment of the saloon question.

To be a king at five years of mm and hold a court of superlative magnificence is the lot that fell to only one monarch that ever lived. He was called the Duupin until at his majority, attained when he was 14 years of age, Louis XIV. became King of France. The little Louis never knew what fun was from a boy standpoint; his babyhood was made up of formality. elegance and rich clothes. No gay rides or swims, or iiu-eting the common people, as his English cousin Prince Charlie did. Prime Ministers. Cardinals. Dukes and Princes talked to him and surrounded him jealously. But he probably would have had elaborate. showy manners anyway, his disposition being formal and exacting of thecourteay due him. When he had been christened on his fifth year, with great state. in the chapel of the palace. his mother carried him in- to the room where his father, Louis Xlll., was dying. “Well, what is your name?" lils father. the King, linked. "Louis XIV," the little fellow prompt- ly replied. "0h. not. yet. not yet, my son." But he was King in a few days. for his father’s crown descended on him, and the stately little tot was the ruler of a great nation. His first act of state was to receive the oaths of allegiance from his people. This he did, sitting in regal state on the throne. with a royal violet I'Ulli' on and superb crown jewels. Sitting in front of him on the stops was another little boy. the Count. lie liuiclie. lintli the little chaps behaved like grown up tiles.

Daniel Webster said that some time aft- er he commenced the practh of his pro- fession In Boston a circumstance occurred which forcibly Impressed upon his mind the sometimes conclusive eloquence of al- lance, and he Wondered no longer that the ancients had erected a statue to her as a divinity. A man In New Bedford. Mass.. said Mr. Webster. had insured a ship, lying at the time at the wharf there, for an amount much larger than its real value In one of the Boston insurance onions. One day news arrived In Boston that his ship had suddenly taken fine and burned to the water's edge. it had been insured in the insurance company of which General Ar- nold Wells was president and Mr. Webster the attorney. General Wells told Mr. Webster of the misfortune that had happened to the com- pany in the loss of a vwsol so largely in- sured, communicating to him at the same time the somewhat extraordinary manner in which it had been destroyed. “Do you intend,” asked Mr. Webster. “to pay the insurance!" "I shall be obliged to do so." the gen eral answend. . “I think not, for I have no doubt from the circumstances attending the loss that theehlp was set on fire with the intent to defraud the company of the Insurance. " ”But how shall we prove that? And what shall we say to Mr. B. when he calls for the money?" "Say nothing," replied Mr. Webster. “but bear quietly what he has to any.” Some few days after this conversation Mr. B. came up to Boston and presented himself to General Arnold Wells lit the in. suranco ofllcc.
