tive to the Memoirs" and on this he
claims bis share of the profits. Says
Badeau
He said that il would help him he
would give me s. 600 out Of the first
$50 900 profit he received. and 5000
more out cf the next $4,000: but if he
did not receive as much rs 100000
would get nothing. He was bankrupt
and could DO nothing better. He also
said that lac should not think OF attempt.
ing the work without my assistance, and
lie particularly desired me 10 keep the
agreement secret between him and me.
The proposition was great blow TO
me, for had look ed forward 10 going
into history as his mouihpiece and
spokesman, and, OF course, ii he wrote a
new work himself my especial authority
would be superseded. But be was my

toward the sea of faces and looked in
iently at the people. His moody, surly
eyes flew rapidly from face to face. Then
he slowly touched his cap. Cheer after

with passionate ferycr. The Prince lis

his head with a sudden motion. and

The Emperor of Germany declares his
purpose "to firmly uphold the imperial
constitution" and at he same time to
respect and guard the constitutional
rights of the individual federal States
and of the Reichstag" As respects the
interests of the people, sit will always be
our endeavor,' SAYS The Emperor, in
conjunction with the princes and free
towns of the Federation, and with the
constitutional cooperation of the Reich

throughout the faiherland, safeguard the
honor of the Empire, and maintain peace
al home and abroad" To be read in

The future of the Democratic party is
largely dependent on the fate Of this
measure The denomination OF Mr
Cleveland is assured. Will his party ask
him to take the leadership and refuse to
support the policy he has recommended
as to the one great issue of the campaign?
What sort Of spectacle would that be
Where is the Democrat who is going 10
use his influence or his vote 10 place his
party and its candidate in such an atti-

The unanimity with which the Demo.
cratic press of the country opposes Mr..
Randalrs tariff bill must make that
statesman feel melancholy. The sturdiest
self importance could hardly satisfy any
man who should find himself so bereft of
supporters among his party associates.
His appleiack contrivance, disowned and
ridiculed by bis own party, finds no great
favor in the other party. The Republi
