Three Noticeable Features or German Life and
Government.

Letter TO American Rural Home
wonder, when / look upon thenat-
ural beauties of ''the German father
land" why SO many of the sons and
daughters emigrate, q to fair
America.
Germany, as we see it to-day, is q
wonderfully compact empire so far as
government is concerned. Everything
is in systematic order, and the gov
eminent has as keen an insight into
every mans public and private life as
the keeper of a penitentiary has over
his wards.
When / came into this goodly city,
the police knew it; where j staid they
knew, what / was here for they thor
oughly understood md whenI was in
tending to leave was perfectly known
to them. My landlord or my host,
were obliged to report all these facts
to the police authorities, or they
would have been subjected to the pen
alties of the lava fine in all such in
stances. If a man is subject TO mill
tary duty and leaves one province for
another, he, too, is obliged to report
to the police, and so with every one
else. Like as a hen gathereth her
chickens under her wing, SO the Ger
man government protects and exacts
compliance with all her regulations
from every citizen and foreigner
This magnificent constabulary is all
under command of the authorities at
Berlin, and an adequate force is put
into every town, city and village in
every province. The result is, SO far
as a stranger can see, the empire is at
peace internally, as far as complets
espionage of every individual can Sc
cure internal peace. There are no
tramps, no thieves at large, no bur-
glars, few rows, fewer riots. Like as by
the ear OF Dyonisius, every sound is
reported to the ever watchful and ever
faithful police.
Germany, as / have said, is q beau
tiful country. Every spot of arabic
land is under careful cultivation, and
yet forests of great size abound, lend
ing g. charm to the landscape which
one very much misses In France.
The people are apparently hap
by, as they are industri-
Gus and frugal. Every one
drinks beer-it is a duty they think
they owe to their country-and they
like it. Were / a beer connoisseur l
should like it, too, for / could drink it
with impunity, SO far as fearing any
evil from impure ingredients. In
Munich, for instance, Bavarian beer is
made in it's simple purity. under agov-
eminent license and formula, and if
any one, in any part of the realm,
finds any ingredients in q bottle OF
beer not called for by the formula, the
license is revoked forever. A shrewd
Yankee came into this country a few
years ago and attempted to make
beer as it is made in some places in
the states-(not. of course, IN fair
Rochester, whose beer, DR.. baltimore
says,is pure), out of Seats and dogs"
but he did not thrive very long, rths
government closed him up speedily.
1t is not possible, as a rule, to i'm
pose adulterated foods and drinks up
on the German people, for with the
magnificent supervision here exercised
over affairs, the man who attempts
to defraud and injura the people must
retire discounted.
The government transacts it's bust
ness for the people in the most APP
proved and conscientious manner.
/ hope that eventually America will
be able to show the world as admira-
BILE q system ofinternal economy. She
can learn many, many points of in
calculable value in this land whence
have come so many of her best, most
orderly and most valued citizens.
Without invidious comparisons,
Imay say, that looking at the matter
from the mother country, | can read
lily understand why the German Amer
leans are SO genial, so industrious, SO
attentive to the duties of citizenship,
SO willing, if need be, to take up arms
for their adopted country, why they,
are so fond of social life and customs,
1T is because "at home" these things
are taught them as duties, the char
acteristics / have named are bred In
the bone as they are born in the
blood.
Yesterday at Heidelburg | saw the
Crown Prince-"unser Fritz" He is
a passed middle aged man of fine APP
pearance, and when he succeeds TO the
throne he will make things hum as
the boys say, and you may certainly
look for lively times when the old en-
peror gives way to the man who does
not particularly enjoy the present
state OF European relations.
Heidelburg was in gala attire, for
this week she is celebrating the five
hundredth anniversary Of the foundal
tion of her famous university. Think
of it'll Five hundred years! "And the
university" lis it much?" Well no,
not much to the eye. The huge build
ing is located in the center OF the town
and LINKS very much lie an AZ town
