deprive him of it. He has undertaken to
suppress the clergy when they refused to
obey his behests, and has committed priests
and bishops to prison in the most arbitrary
manner, or consigned them to banishment.
He has suppressed the freedom of the press
and of public discussion; has denied the
right of petition and trial by jury; has driven
from the empire all who refused to fall
down and worship. at the shrine of impe-
rialism; has Knocked the very name of lib
erty. And yet he affects to be surprised at
the manifestations of discomfort that are ap-
parent on every hand. Such result is the
Legitimate offspring of his course.
When either Bismarck or the emperor
shall shuttle off the mortal coil, it will be the
signal of revolution. Another emperor will
not ascend the throne of Germany, but upon
the ruins of the empire will spring up re-
public that will be the grandest in Europe.
It may not meet expectations at first. To
presume as much would be to presume that
all men are patriotic, unselfish and infallible.
1t will encounter difficulties, principally from
the extremists of the nation, but eventually,
when the sober second sense becomes pre-
dominant we are confident that it will be-
come both strong and united. The German
empire is already in the last stages of disso-
luton; the German republic is thing of the
near future.

Col. Percy Wyndhaps.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The recent sad
fate of Col. Wyndham, better known as Sir
Percy Wyndham, recalls an episode in his
strange career that to many perhaps has re-
mained mystery. It will be remembered
that he served for while in the Union army
as colonel of q New Jersey cavalry regiment,
and acting brigadier of cavalry brigade, to
which position he had been advanced for his
consummate knowledge of cavalry man
oeuvres at the earnest solicitation of officers
in high rank. In 1868 Wyndham was
with the army in Virginia, in command of
about $500 men. He was held in high es-
teem, both for his bravery and his military
skill; was general favorite with his SUPERB
ors, and expected soon to be advanced to the
rank of brigadier- general. Suddenly, to the
surprise of everybody, he was ordered to
Washington, and there granted an indefinite
leave Of absence by Secretary Stanton. No
reasons were given for this. He remained
in Washington for some days. suffering from
the most terrible chagrin, which he endeav-
ored to alleviate by plunging into dissipa-
tion. At last he determined to visit his COM
mand, and was received cordially by his
brother officers; but after he had been in
camp two days, an order came from the Sec
etary of war to the commanding general,
that Wyndham should at once leave the
Union lines. IF he did not do so. he was to
be put under close arrest and sent to Wash
ington Immediately. Wyndham resigned on
his return to Washington.
Some time before his death by drowning
on the lakes few years ago, Mr.. stanton's
private secretary informed an employe of
the war department., under promise of sol
emn secrecy during his life time, of the
cause of Wyndham's removal. Mr.. Stanton
had private information, given ip such

THE TRAMP NUISANCE.

For the past two nights the police station
has been crowded with tramps. They have
been gathered in from the highways and the
byways of the city, having come here from
adjoining States to find refuge from the
rigorous laws that have recently been enact
ed there. They have been packed into the
corridor of the station-house like sheep in a
pen, for st. Paul has not yet been able to
afford lodgment for so large number of
persons. 1t was sight repulsive to behold,
end at the same time suggestive of terrible
possibilities. hundred or more desperate
raen, gathered up in the course of two nights
in small city, show that the tramp evil is
not even now half realized. These men are
capable of infinite harm if let loose upon
the community. They are looked upon by
citizens generally as outlaws, and so regard
themselves, and are ready to undertake any
conceivable mischief for purposes of revenge
or plunder. AS the legislature of the State
refused to take any steps towards REFRESHING
them, it behooves the common coun-
Gil of this city to take action
in the matter. They have the power under
the charter to enforce such police regula-
tions as may be necessary for the protection
of the citizen, and must exercise that power
as regards the tramps. But one of the first
duties will be to provide accommodations
for the knights of the road. The police sta
tion needs enlargement, and if the present
influx of tramps continues the county iail
will need enlargement. AS fast as caught
these characters should be set to work, so
that they may earn enough to pay for their
subsistence and not become burden on the
public. By compelling them to earn what
they consume they may be brought to real
izipg sense of the duty of all men to work.

The board of regents of the State Univer-
sity were in session yesterday at the capitol
all told about six hours, the entire session
being with closed doors so far as the press
of the city and State was concerned. The
board Of regents is State body, created for
the purpose of looking after the material
and educational interests of one of the most
important institutions of learning within the
State. Every citizen having the educational
interests of the State at heart has direct
end personal interest in all that pertains to
the institution, the welfare of which the
board vas appointed to conserve and foster,
and whenever the board draws the veil of
secrecy about session of six hours, OF six
minutes for that matter, it violates the trust

The Dixon (Solano county, Cal.) Tribune

statements concerning Hood Alston, whose

reported in the Times, alleging them to be

an utterly unprincipled adventurer, and to

his nefarious object was to obtain possession
Of her property. After marriage Mr.. and
Mrs. Alston went to San Jose, where they

instituted against them by others claiming to
be legal heirs of the deceased Werner. Alston

he could not yet 80 skillfully play on the
green cloth as to leave enough in the general
fund to pay the household expenses. Last
December he contracted to sell the farm and
received $500 in gold to bind the contract,
under the statute of frauds. That very
same day he fastened down to the Riverside,
and that night he dropped the whole amount,
every cent, at draw poker, having unwisely
called upon four queens with only full

of tho purchase money he speeded to Sacra-
mento and deposited $1,000 in capital

the remainder of the money. When he and
his wife came down their furniture had been
packed and sent down also. This furniture
has been recovered. The day he abandoned
his wife he offered her 800 gold piece, but
she declined it because she had four bits,
which was all she had, and which, she said,
would be all she needed till he returned the

Hitchcock's father, DR.. Edward De Forrest
Hitchcock, was wealthy planter in Louisi
ana. His plantation was known as ssMonos
kim" Adjoining this was the plantation o1
man of large property, who had an only
daughter, pretty, black-eyed child, the
companion and playmate Of young Hitch
cock. The two planters, who were bosom
friends, conceived the idea of uniting thei1
families in marriage. Young Hitchcock and
his little playmate were accordingly betroth.

age. The children were given all the ad.
vantages of education that the wealth OF
their parents could procure. In vacation
months they played and attended merry
cock was 18 and the girl 16 years of age,
they confirmed their betrothal by formal
engagement of marriage. In time there
were lovers quarrels between them, and
finally their engagement was broken off.

hand, was accepted, and married her.
Young Hitchcock, who was then 10, came
North, entered the medical department. of
Yale college, and at the beginning of the re-
bellion enlisted as assistant surgeon in the
regular United States army. He served three
years and then began the practice of medi-
cine in New Haven, Conn. He was told that
the husband of the girl he loved was in the
confederate army.
In 1868 DR.. Hitchcock removed to Newark
and opened drug store in Belleville avenue.
He became at once favorite with the
veteran soldiers in Newark. He was fair
musician, and sang in church choirs and at
public concerts in Newark, and was a well
come guest in the drawing rooms of the best
society. He was handsome and affable, but
he was observed to prefer the society of men
to that of women. He had not forgotten
his love, but he confed it as secret to only
a few of his most intimate friends. About
six months ago he received letter from
Louisiana. It was from the women who
was always in his thoughts. She wrote that
her husband had been dead for some time,
and that her married life had been unhappy.
She suggested that she would be glad to
hear from her old playmate. DR.. Hitch
cock answered the letter, and the correspond
ence terminated in a re-engsgement of mar
riage.

entered into negotiation with the confed-
crate government to surrender his command
for the sum of $500, 900. Mr.. Stanton could
not, getting his information as he did, place
Col. Wyndham under arrest, and try him
for this highest crime of which soldier can
be guilty, so the only road open was to re-
move him from command. The private sec-

not Judge Advocate General Holt was aware

As an indication of the enorm GUS losses
caused by the suspension of the savings
banks about two years since, it may be stat
cd that the broken banks of New York still
retain about fourteen millions of deposits
while those of Chicago retain at least seven
millions. Most of this money was deposited
in small sums by poor people, and in almost
every instance the failures were due to culpa-
bic mismanagement or downright dishonesty
Savings banks can hardly expect to have
the public confidence with such a record.

The New York Tribune suggests that
Peton ought to be travelling fund agent of
the new Tilden organ, as he can raise more

Though politicians may, newspapers can't

even for a Tilden organ.
