We have beo :u(raid it would o:ne, but the advt~ocany of it. has- ap eared a hittle -sooner tbari we ex -When iome was ina transit tate between republic .d t empire howvs and spectacular a(~' ree paraides, ritenaded with more or less pomp andl ranity, began to be the orde0r :>f the lay. It was a sure sign that liberty and about departed, and these thina's were introduaced to withdrawv the peo ple's minds until the last great blow ihould be struck shattering the vest gee of ancient republican .inetitu ions. And after the empire was irmly established, these spectacles and pomps got to be more numer >us and costly. They pleased tho >eop!e, who were thus made to forgi t le loss of their hbarties. Triu-nphs, with all tbe pomp and circumstance af war; gladiatorial contests, in which ome of the later emperors took part; mnd, finally, largesses of corn and vine flung to the Roman canaille, o hush their growlings and keep bem in good temper, were the order if the de'y. All these marked tot only the passing a'; y of the re >Ublic, but they were also signs of he decay of thbe empire. And hisitory may yet repeat itself n thi-i land, if the advocacy of the lew York Worid for more pomp and' >ageantry should he injected into ur public cerom->nials, such, for in tance, as the inauguration of a pres dent of the United States.

The World is right when it thinks American prestige suffers when its chief pagetnt consists.of "orpulent governors on livery stable steeds, precedirng a string of carriages in which unknown municipal dignita ries loll smoking 6 cent cigars. . As the Post has often hinted, what we want in Washington is pomp. The he blare of the bugle, the flash of gorgeous uniforms, the neighing of steeds, and the glitter of enormous *mythical and -allegorical pageantry-these are what'we want. In - London -the :<telighted. 'people last week were treated to a living picture of a line of kings, all Ed ward., from first to last, all sur ronfded with their entourages in appropriate attire, each striving to outdazzle the other. This is wh&t shoula be done in Wasbingten. Let the next iauguration spectacle pro cession unfold to enraptured eyes a stately procession of -American pres idents, in choicest make-up,surround ed by the mighty men who made their ad'miuistrations glorious. Let the show be gotten up well, -re gardless of the cost of paint aud gilding. Let the horses be steeds of mettle, and let the floats be of enor mous size. Let the calliope at tiie tail end te a terebner of the first rank, so that the in -p ring strains of Yankee Doodle way be heard to the remotest corners of the republic." - [Columbia Rtecord.
