B1snAncK's Lost speech in the Rcichsteg on

Reproachcd by IN Alsatian Deputy with hAv-
ing founded the University Of Strnsburg in
the interest of Germany, not of Alsace-Lor~
raine, he retorted that this was precisely what
lie did, and what ho meant to do hereafter.
He advised the Deputies of the conquered
Provinces to remember that they were part of
g body that represented 81 the Imperial inter-
ests of all Germany, not tho church.
steep1e interests of Alsacc-Lorraine. lie
went on to accuse the annexed subjects with
undue uedcpendenccupon Paris md Rome. Their
schools were 'sgood for French schools, but
bad Judged by the German standard" They
were especially bad because treason WIS
taught i'll them. The Imperial Government
meant to change Ill this. It would interfere
whenever and wherever it thought best, and
the Alsatians must bear it us well as they
could He would always be glad, the Chan
ce11or went on to say, to be honestly criticised
by the rebelious Deputies but, "wheneger
the interests of the Empire and the Provinces
clash, those OF the Empire n,ust prevail"
The French are planning another war, quoth
BISMARCK, and VIC s'do not mean to be IN

was hailed by uproarious applause by the ma

i,onsr has found his definite position with re-
lation to the Princess. He may hand my
lady to her carriage, but he may not ride in
it, if it happen to be state carnage. ne
mav take her to the door and 1eave her with
the usher aud 60 where he pleases, except
inside tint door. At the state dinner, nc
may sit at tho foot of the table. Such is the
penalty of marrying into tho royal family,
above your rank,-tail of the family, butt OF
euuerrics and chamberlains, second fiddle to
feminine 1ummery and royal rank There
is but one resource left. Let him
take the lovely Princess and come to
tho United States, and settle down in
Chicago. Hero arc no class privileges,
no distinctions Of rank, no nonsense. Here
every man has tho right to go where his wife
goes, and every woman tho right to 60 where
her husband goes, except to the Lodge. Man
and wife are one in privilege and pocket-book,
sit at tho same table, put their dimes in the
same contribution-box, stand upon the same
footing, and have nightkeys alike. What is
good enough for the wife is good enough for
the husband, md ricc re1sa. Instead of be-
ing whipper-snapper for Princes, door
opener for Princesscs, ard q lunkey for roy
nlty, be would be every whit as top-lofty as
the Princess, would be lord of the household,
and play second fiddle to nobody. This, we
take it, is better than having q British Queen
for mother-in-law, aud eating her leag'ngs,
or Prince for brother-in-1aw, and sitting
in the pit while he lolls in the boxes.

a sudden outburst Of religious ferror has
conyulsed the town Of Cedar Rapids to its
very town-pump. It seems that the good
people Of the town were in the habit of keep
ing their stores open Sunday. The Mayor
looked over the statutes and found that the
State had sunday-law. He therefore order
ed the closing Of all stores, and the rigid en-
forcement of the city Sunday ordinance.
Trouble ensued, Of course; half the
citizens Of Cedar Rapids refused to
obey the ordinance, and upon violating
it were arrested and probably fined,
though Of this We have learned nothing
However, those who wished to legislato their
arring brethren out of reach of blazes in the
next world viii probably find they have
forced themselves into flames in this one.

sci for the TIcEBoRsE clnimant, is @ sugges-
tive instance Of the eEse with which man Of
brilliant talent, learning, and e1oquence may

ness Of Judgment and action. In the conduct
Of the T1cHnoRSE case, lie had IN opportunity
to make his name famous the world over, but
in place of that he conducted himself in
such IN unprofessionl, abusive, and even
scur1lous manner that the Lord Chancellor
struck his name from the list Of Queens
Counsel He then started newspaper
called the EngHsdman, which lie made O
vehicle Of abuse, blackguardism, and insults
to the Courts aud the members Of his pro-
fession. The benchers Of Gray's Inn, of
which he is one, endured it until it reached
q point where endurance was no longer posi-
ble, and then Kicked him out. Thus dis
barred from the Courts and his profession,
and removed from tho position as Queens
Counsel, which he has held for si1 years, he
has the wretchedness Of remembering that
his swift downfall from his high forensic po-
sition is due only to his own folly and un-
gorernable temper, and TINT his brilliant
abilities rs lawyer and 1tterateur make little
compensation for his lack Of the elements

Not long ago, this headline would have
meant seamstresses and washerwomen, and
nobody else. This is no longer so. One Of
the most marvellous events in recent history
has been the change in the position Of
women. With very many Of them, labor has
bacome something to be sought, not shun-
ned They have outgrown the theory
that women's only sphere was found
in the kitchen ind the nursery. The
half Of the worlds brains hitherto
shut up in feminine heads is beginning to
count for something at last There are even
signs Of the good time coming, when it will
be thought as disgraceful for woman as for
4 man not to work. The positive advance
made by women has been greater abroad than
ct home, perhaps on account OF greater pow
erty and @ consequent stronger spur to e1er-
ton; perhaps because tho iden Of
women's working was less repugnant to
other men than to Americans, who trent
women with a courtesy which does not exist
outside Of drawing rooms nbroad md Ger
tainly because the bubbling-over energy Of
English and German women has not been
wasted in talk, In the American fashion, but

State Board as the basis Of taxation for State
purposes IS by law also the valuation accord
ing to which county, town, and ell otherlocal
taxes are levied.
OF course, the authors Of our Revenue law
did not overlook the taxation Of u,ortgases
this they insisted, was the great protection
to fnr1uers who had occasion to borrow money
on their lands. Consequently, i'll Illinois, we
tax every mortgage, seemingly obliyious Of
the fact that the owner Of the land not only
pays tho tax thereon, but also tax on the
mortgage on the premises. AS general
thing, the mortgage escapes taxation, but he
never fails i'll including the tax he is
liable TO pay in the ratio Of interest he col
lccts from the mortgagor. Our lawmakers,
in their frantic efforts to catch the bloated
capitalists, require that the holders Of prom
issory notes shall pay tax thereon. Thus,
if A buy horse for $50, and giyo his note
therefor, our law taxes both horse and note,
and the State Board may increase the valua-
ton Of both to $500 each. This item Of the
law WAS defended by learned lawyer in the
Legislature on the ground that, in case
where man was convicted Of larceny for
stealing pron1issory note, the Supreme
Court held that the note wes property" and
that the Constitution required that ell "prop-
erty" should be taxed. This argument sug-
gestcd, perhaps, MATT CAnPESrEn's that he
was obliged to take tho shack pay" because
the Constitution provides that Senators and
members Of Congress "sh1l receive" the
compensation fixed by law
Our revenue laws are O pitiab1e example Of
the results of ignorance and demagosism
and the execution Of these laws is attended
with the grossest inequalities and opprcs-
sions Had they been devised to exclude
capital, and drive out manufactures, and pre-
vent production, they could not have been
moro successful. They are inquisitorial, and
bristle with searching oaths aud protesta-
nons, and yet in fact are most inefficient.
They fail to reach the larger part Of the per-
soua1 property, and thus throw upon the
land, and upon the live stock and other ac-
compartments Of the land, more than four
ifths OF the whole tax, State and county.
1t is to be hoped that the coming Legislature
will do something to simplify this law and
to abolish the injustice now inseparable
from it.
