THE ALIEN IN LONDON.
Sir John Forrest .notes a change that has taken place in the social atmofiphere of London einco he was last here (says the-London corrrspandent of the "Ago"). lTio rich alien is more obtrusive. ••'Foreigners, ,, ho save, "seem to be taking possession of the place. For instance, in this hotel (fho Cecil) I don't recognise a single Britisher among the guests. , ' It is true that foreigners of the wealthy and trading classes are beComii:g every year a more conspicuous element in the life of tho city. And us tor the poorer aliens, we know—it has often been painted out wiUirin the last two or threo retire—they now monopolism almost tjie whole of certain areas in. the East End. The law wliich came into force at the beginning of the present year keeps out only the actual paupers and criminals, and will coon not exclude even the majority of these if silly sentimentaliets have their way.
