fol the inheritance has been carried on
by the Duke of Cumberland, the
heir to the Guelphic throne of Hanover,
correspondent of the New York Herald sets
forth the respective claims of the two
contestants and the difficulties in the way
of each as follows: 1.-THE Duke of Cumber-
lands claims to the successOrship, though
admitted by the emperor of Germany. were
put aside on the ground that he refused to
renounce his rights to the kingdom of
Hanover, and that his assumption of power
in Brunswick would be a menace to the
empire. He would be dangerous, Prince
BISMARCK believes, because he would
naturally become center around which
the Guelphic element of Hanover would
gather. His chances were finally lost by
an indiscreet letter which was discovered
among the papers of the late duke, IN
which expressions were found leading to
the belief that any remuneration on his
part of his Hanoverian rights would only
have temporary value. This letter, when
communicated to the Brunswick chamber,
proved disastrous to his claims. There was
a certain amount of heroic obstinacy in the
Duke of Cumberland's conduct in refusing
to renounce his rights to the throne of Han
over, in face of the temptation of the many
million thalers of the Reptile fund.
''The claims of the Duke of Cambridge
then came up. In addition TO demanding
to be appointed regent of the duchy until
the question of succession was settled. he
asked to be recognized as the next heir to
the duchy in the event of the rights of the
Duke of Cumberland not being conceded.
Against this demand, legal opinion in Ger
many argued that with the exclusion of the
king Of Hanover and his son, the claims of
the GUELPHs are eXtinct;' others commended
that so long as the Duke of Cumberland is
alive, though he is himself excluded from
the ducal throne, no other person can pos
sibly mount it, The Duke of Cambridge's
claim was received in Germany with scant
attention. The Brunswick diet referred
his case to the bundesrath, and that body
resolved to exclude the Duke of Cambridge
from the succession. Even England did
not seem to take much interest in the
dukes claims. The Standard said at the
time: The Duke of Cambridge is an ex-
cellent soldier, and we should be exceed
ingly sorry to lose his services, but whether
he remains commandeT-in-chief of the Brit
ish forces or takes upon himself the cares
of the duchy of Brunswick. the people of
this country will regard the event with per-
feet equanimity.' Germany's right to settle
the Brunswick succession is founded on the
Brunswick regency law of 1879, which
enacts that IF the rightful heir is unable to
claim the throne the Brunswick landtag
shall elect regent from the non-reigning
members of German reigning families
The Brunswick landtag and the council of
regency. in view of the difficulties in the
way of settling the rival claims, practically
pleaded their incompetency and left the
whole matter to the German emperor, or,
in other words, to the bundesrath or federal
council. The federal council decided that
the regency should be offered to Prince
HENRY of Reuss at present German am
bassador in Vienna"

The design of the agricultural bureau, in
connection with one OF the important de-
partments of the government, was to be of
practical benefit to the agricultural in
terests Up to this time it has been a most
signal failure in this respect. The govern
ment has been singularly unfortunate i'm
failing to secure the services of a practical
man at the head of the bureau. One. of
them lost his agricultural bearings in vain
attempt to unravel the mysteries of me
teorology. Whether a clap of thunder
would effect a growing cabbage head might
be interesting as scientific fact, but really
had but little practical bearing on
the agriculture of the country. Another
commissioner of agriculture expended
the appropriations made by congress and
left the department in debt in the use
less effort to find variety of sorghum seed
which could grow faster than Dexter could
trot. His investigations might have been
profitable to sporting men, but were of no
earthly value TO the farming classes. When
President CLEVELAND went to Missouri and
selected new commissioner of agriculture it
was expected at least that the country
would get some valuable information about
corn crops and hemp growing. But again
we are doomed TO disappointment. The
first thing the new commissioner does is to
start bee farm in Illinois, where the Gull
ture of bees is to be studied at government
expense. The bees which thrive best in
our climate are to be encouraged, and the
honey producing fora, which help them to
thrive. are to be classified accord
ing to their value for the pur-
poses of bees. Now. bee farming is a
useful industry, and everybody likes
honey. But it does seem that the subject
