common as blackberries and illustrious

common as blackberries, and illustrious
ancestors could be gathered up by the car
lead if needed, perhaps this timidity is
natural. Should the thieves persist in
their perverse speculation, however, it
seems quite possible that public attention
will be turned more seriously than ever
towards the subject of cremation, which at
least furnishes complete security against
the Resurrectionists. And indeed this is
the natural and proper recourse of sorrow
ing relatives threatened with the surrepti-
tious removal and holding to ransom of the
remains of their beloved. The crematory
laughs the body-snatcher to scorn, and it
is of course very easy to protect the cine
rary urn in which the final residuum of the
departed is deposited, against the spoilers.
Nor can there be any really safe method
other than this. For special police and
such precautions cannot be kept up con-
stantly, and when vigilance has been re-
Taxed the danger is most imminent. Gre
nation, therefore, is the most appropriate
and effective remedy and safeguard under
the circumstances, and when it is generally
adopted the occupation of the Jerry
Crunchers of the Period will be gone.

vHAr WILL TIE cgBmANs DO !?

The Emperor of Germany has formally
declared his purpose to nullify the Con-
stisution of Prussia, and by implication
that of the Empire also. He has set forth,
in an imperial rescript, a policy of purely
personal government, which, if permitted
to be carried out, would at once destroy
all popular freedom and render abortive
the existing representative institutions
The question is in one sense a Prussian ques-
ton, but in larger sense it belongs to
all Germany. The King will govern per-
sonally, he says. His ministers are merely
his agents. All office. holders under Gov.
eminent are under obligation to support
the imperial policy, even at the elections.
This last declaration of course cuts the
ground from under freedom of opinion,
divides the country into hostile camps,
and makes political serfs of every crown
official. And now it remains to be seen
what the German people, the Prussian PEG.
pie, are prepared to do about it. 1t is per-
fectly evident that if they submit to
this arbitrary act of the Emperor they
will find themselves flung back into the
political status of the beginning of the cen.
fury. For the Emperor has undertaken to
eliminate all the popular gains that have
been made since 1910, and acquiescence in
his rescript will have the effect of assuring
success to the bold experiment. Yet
what can the people do? The dark shadow
of Militarism impends over them. Should
popular protest be rejected, and resort to
revolutionary demonstration be made, will
the army stand by the dynasty, or will it
take part with the nation? In France we
should have little doubt on that point. but
the German army has been more severely
drilled and disciplined, and we do not feel
certain that it would not obey orders, re-
CARELESS of the consequences. II tits indeed
the facils instrument of the Government.
then the probability that the Emperor's
coup d'etat will be successfully resisted is
very small. And yet there can be no doubt
that this marks turning point in German
history. 1t is to the Germans as important
and as far-reaching an event as was the
demand of King Charles for the ship-money
to the English. The latter lost no time in
making it understood that they would not
submit to personal government, or surren.
der their rights as freemen. Will the Ger.
mans prove less determined than their
neighbors and cousins-the race that shares
with them common ancestry?

THE cASNoN-cAmpBgLL CASE.

The proposition to admit Campbell to a
seat on the strength of his possession of a
certificate alone, was certainly not merely
an immoral but very dangerous one For
Congress recognizes the right of Gov
ernors to make Congressman as Governor
Murray undertakes to do, it will lose con-
troll ever its own most important pre-
negatives, and may in a short time
come to be packed from outside.
1t Is therefore just as well that the case
has been sent to the Committee on Elec-
tinns, which committee will, if it is wise,
report against the admission of either of
the present contestants, and in favor of
new election in Utah. That is the only,
equitable plan that can be adopted, and
moreover it is the only plan which protects
the rights and privileges of the House
against usurpation.
