Is Germany an Empire 4!

In the first placc, the German term
"Reich does not designate an empire
as II form of government distinguished
from kingdom, fer instance, or
republic. Strictly taken, it means
"realm," or even Commonwealth
while the technical term for empire is
Kaisarrei>n.' Thus the Roman Em.

old German Empire, because, for one
reason. the hereditary principle in both
WIS weak, or did not exist and III the
present confederation, OF Reich, the So
called Imperial dignity, though heredi-
tarv in the Royal House of Prussia, is
not hereditary in the House Of Hohen
zollern as such. If the Hoherzollerns
should ever cease to be Kings OF Prussia
they would cease ipsO .tac'o to be En-
perors of Germany. But the Napoleonic
Empire in France was always called in
German the " Keiselreich, because the
Imperial principle, whatever that may
be, was visibly incorporated IN the pub
lie law Of the State. The same observa-
ton held true of the head OF the State

which is incorrect There is no such
parsonage. The Federal Constitution
simply declares that the Presidency OF
the Confederation is vested in the King
of Prussia, who shall bear the title OF
German Emperor. Our usage OF Ian
guage and our habits of political thought
/ do not. indeed, make any clear differ
ence between the title German Emperor
and the title Emperor of Germany; but
to Teutonic-nay, to Contnental--dia-
lecticians the distinction is OF vast i'm
portance. The King of Prussia is then
merely President Of the German realm,
and there is nothing Imperial about him
except his title. There is no Imperial
crown no Imperial privy purset no
Imperial civil list; no Imperial suite, or

pictures of words that l have in my

and needs not the slightest qualifica-
ton or explanation to make itself clear
to any one who will think of exactly
what they would do when they would
write a word. If we misspell word.
our brain-picture of it is defective
when we think it wrong, we are COM
pairing the written form with a brain
form. Our attention to this form
brings it more distinctly into the con-
seriousness, and the mistake is seen
and corrected.
Words oftentimes come into the
brain as combinations of sounds
names Of letters, which must be
translated into forms before they can
be written. If this has not been done
previous to the act of writing, a double
and difficult process takes place, which,
together with the absorbing thought
of composition, renders such transla-
tions imperfect. Thus many persons
who spell exceedingly well orally,
make many mistakes in writing. A
teacher took three prizes at spelling
schools, and made five mistakes in
spelling in a short note to a school
committee.

gives, we believe, the true place tha
such testimony should occupy in a case
The views of an expert are held to b
ajudgment, and not properly testimony
at all. They should, therefore, be Civ
en- to the judge, who is only competent
to decide upon the legal questions in
volyed in the case, to enable him to de
eide also upon the question of insanity
The discussion goes to show that there
is a difference between a legally insane
person, where the only question at stake
is as to the responsibility of the party
for his act, and an insane person, medi-
cally considered. The testimony of the
medical expert is not based upon the
ground of responsibility. If a man is
so far insane, or insane in such sense
that punishment of his act would not
be hindrance to the recommital OF a
similar crime; if his insanity prevents
him from understanding the nature OF
bis crime, or understanding that he
fails to comprehend his responsibility,
punishment would not in any way fur
Their the course Of justice. The testi-
mony Of experts given in such trials
before jury which is to correct that
of the experts fayoring the plea OF in
sanity. or that of the ones fayoring the
sanity Of the prisoner or the indie
cisiye opinion which. must be held by
the Judge himself before such conflict
ing views, is more confusing than it is
a help to q case. The view is further
held in the article referred to that there
is authority to be found upon the sub
ject Of insanity coming from the high
est sources in printed books, and that
these should be consulted and take pre-.
cedence over the testimony of harum
scarum physicians to be picked up
everywhere. The witnesses sum-
mOned In behalf of Guiteau come very
unwillingly to the stand to testify to
his insanity. The plea will probably
not be sustained. 1t is rumored that
Guiteau will speak in his own defence.
If he does not adopt an insanity dodge,
and Try to make himself as unintel-
ligible as possible, it will be strong evil
dence that he is either fool or ma.
mac, for the verdict of insanity is the
only thing that stands between him
and the gallows.

Mr.. EDITOR:
A pleasant drive of a few miles be-
low Pratteyjlle, up and down gentle
slopes, over small streams, through
cool shadows of the tall pines, with
flecks of warm sunlight between, and
glimpses of the mountains beyond,
and we arrive at the cattle ranch of
Dotta Brothers. We pause on top OF
the hills; to the left is a large barn,
back of us down the hill on the right
hand is the slaughter house and pens,
and farther back from the road are
more barns. Before us, partly hidden
in a hollow, is the dwelling house and
other buildings clustered around some
large springs in the hillside. The road
circles to the left, down in front of
dwelling and cheese house and up hill
again. There is not sufficient space
below to turn the team. Lower down
is the milk house beside the stream
flowing from the springs, and on the
opposite side is the calf house. The
latter has roof and is all enclosed,
but front side above the calves; each
calf thrusts its head through an aper-
ture into separate feed box, and all
are fastened in. They are fed sweet
skim milk, to which a little meal may
be added if feed in pasture gets dry.
They were milking nearly eighty cows,
in an open yard. The cows and calves
were in good condition. The milk
house is kept clean, and in order.
