The German Aspect.

SO far N present indications go, the
new German Emperor is sincerely DESTROYS
of promoting permanent European peace
and adapting government and business in
the Empire to the real conditions and
exigencies OF his time. This much APP
pears to be shown by his illusions to
labor problems. His tribute to his father
is touching and admirably expressed:
The Emperor has ended his glorious life,
In the much-loye father whom | bewail,
whom my royal house with me laments in
deepest sorrow. the faithful Prussan people
have lost their fame King, the
German nation the founder of its unity, and
the newly risen Empire the first German
Emperor. His illustrious name will remain
inseparably bound up with all the greatness
of the German Fatherand in whose new
creation the strenuous labor of the Prussian
people and princes has met with its most
splendid reward,
There is no doubt that Frederick Ill
will rule in Germany according to the
traditions Of his house, and it is believed
by those who are best informed that his
administration will be more directed by
the spirit of the age than was the rule
during his fathers reign and will gradually
assimulate more to that of England, with
which his marriage has made him familiar,
In which course the strong influence of his
wife will he factor. Should his life be
prolonged for u decade, or even half that
period the peoples voice will be heard
more distinctly and parliamentary govern
ment will have more chance to have q sue
cessful trial, But II the dreaded disease
which held him at San Reno during the
painful winter months of German anxiety
should soon reach a fatal termination, II
IL feared that the German Liberals will
have less reason to hope from the accession
to imperial power of him whom some term
the "Juukcr Prince" who is thought to
be more likely to favor the "blood and
iron" policy OF the great Chancellor.

The Cleveland and Bourbon Prejudice

The amount of Brussels tapestry carpets
imported into this country in 1868 was
1000, 900 yards. In 1897 it had decreased
to IS 900, one thirtieth part of what was
imported nineteen years before, and there
are reasons to believe that today there are
near Philadelphia than in all Great Britain.
Owing to home competition the price of
carpets in the United States is only one
half what it was in 1868. Another con-
elusive argument in favor of building up
home manufactures by Protection is that
our home markets may be supplied cheap
ly. Had the making of American carpets
not been brought about by our Protective
system, the foreign manufacturers would
have controlled our markets, and by trusts
and combinations could have raised and
depressed the price so that the American
manufacturer just starting in his business
could have had little chance for success.
1t is all important that the prices in our
markets should be governed by home com
and it is the former which the American
manufacturers of carpets now chiefly feel.
There is no excuse for attacking this great
industry except blind devotion to a
theory, or an ignorant. obstinate prejudice
which Southern Bourbon Democrats con-
tiuue to have towards Northern manufac-
lures aud Northern ''mudsills."

Put Finger on Him and He is not There.

About once a week in the New York
Times, twice week In the New York
Post, and nearly rs often in the Boston
Herald, and Boston Post, the Eastern
public is informed of the remarkable
growth of Free Trade opinions among the
Republicans of the West and Northwest.
The number of votes which the Mills bill
Is to receive from the Republicans in Con-
grcss Is carefully figured out and glowing
accounts are given of the prospects of
Cleveland to secure the electoral votes of
several heretofore Republican States,
But in every case Of any Importance of
this kind, when duly investigated, there
is found to be no solid ground for
Democratic and Free Trade hopes.
Illinois IL one of the States where Golden
Club views among Republicans have been
represented as especially strong. The
Chicago Journal has just made a careful
canvass among the Republican members
of the Illinois Legislature. and has found
but precious little Free Trade sentiment.
OF the thirtv-four who responded, fifteen
declared for protection for the sake of
protection, three stand on the platform of
1884. and asked for reduction of the sur
plus simply, one for protection without
monopoly and one wants mo sweeping
tariff legislation" But the twenty nine
Democrats interviewed all substantially
favored Clevelaud's Free Trade message.
There is likely to be more tendency to
Free Trade among Illinois Republicans
than among those of any State of the
North West, owing to the large circula-
lation of the Chicago Tribune. which is
strongly aversed to protective principles,
though very hostile to the Mills tariff
bill and to the success of the Democratic
party in the approaching Presidential
election.

THE END OF THE WORLD.
In Fifteen Million Years There will Not
be a Drop OF Water on the Earth.

The age of the earth is placed by some
at 800, 100000 years, and still others Of
later time among them the Duke of Ar
gyle, places it at 100000 900 years, know
ing what processes it has gone through.
Other planets go through the same pro-
cess. The reason that other planets diff
fer so much from the earth is that they
are in a much earlier or later stage OF ex-
stence.
The earth must become old. Newton sur
missed, although he could give no reason for
1t, that the earth would at one time lose all
its water and become dry Since then it has
been found that Newton was correct As
the earth keeps cooling twill become porous,
and cavities will be formed in the interior,
which will take in the water. II is estimated
this process is now in progress so far that
the water dminishes at the rate of about the
thickness of sheet of writing paper each
year
At this rate, according to the London
Standard, in 100000 years the water
will have sunk one mile, and in 1900, 900
years the water will have disappeared
from the face Of the globe, making steam
ship lines valueless, shipyards very poor
property, and perhaps electrical force and
some newly discovered chemical agency
of special value. But these are questions
which have not a remarkable interest tC
practical persons of this generation.

Thus we see, according to official author
ity, wages are 100 per cent higher in
the wooden and worsted industry in the
United States than in any Of the European
countries. No one claims that the duty
on wool and woolens combined is 1870 per
cent. The manufacturers would rather
"a they are adequately protected they can
pay sl2 week. Reduce the duty and
wages must be reduced proportionately
Abolish the duty and wages must ulti.
mately sink to the European standard, or
the industries migrate to European coun-
tries.

ABOUT LAGER BEER.
Testimony of Physicians as to its Ell
fects upon People Who Drink It.

Not long ago the late d. r, Locke of the
Toledo Blade interview ed ten of the principal
physicians Of that notorious beer-guzzling
city. This is some of the testimony:
practice said 1T kills quicker than any other
liquor. Pneumonia, pleurisy, fever, etc,
have first mortgage on the beer drinker.'
DR. II. NJ Parmalee-Beer is worse than
whisky, the hops contained in the beer pro-
ducing congestion of the liver, dyspepsia, and
kindred diseases. Habitual beer drinkers
seem to have no constitutional power to re-
sist disease.
DIR. w. T. Riderout-Beer drinkers are
very liable to die of pneumonia, and when a
confirmed beer drinker takes pneumonia he
dies.
DIR. $. s. Lungren-Every part of the body
of a confirmed beer drinker becomes loaded
down with morbid and poisonous matter. and
every part will soon fall into ruin and decay.
DIR. J. T. Woojs-Lager beer, if used at
ALL should be used as a medicine, as ipecac,
quinine. rhubarh and strychniue.
DIR. c. A. Kirkley-There is no more
fruitful source of Brights disease than beer
drinking. The evil effects are not confined
to the consumers of the beverage, but are
transmitted to their offspring.
DIR. C. W. Chapman regard beer as
harmful as ardent spirits, brandy and whisky.
as it produces fatty degeneration of the heart
liver and kidneys
DIR. G. A. Colhmorc-Be drinking pro-
duces morbid effect upon the heart lungs,
brain, stomach, liver and kidneys. The brain
is kept in hyperemic condition which pre-
vents normal cerebration or the accurate use
of the mental faculties.
DIR. W. II. Mays, Superintendent of the
Stockton (Iowa) Insane Asylum, in his ninth
biennial report to the State Board of Health,
has the following on beer drinking: Moth
ing will lower the vital forces so steadily and
surely, nothing will degenerate the organic
tissues so rapidly, as the use of beer every
day and year after year. 1t coarsens man
in appearance, in morals, in mental fibre, in
ply steal constitution. 1t is more productive
of brutality, sensualism and the lower forms
Of crime than is whisky drinking. 1t is the
beverage of the Bill Sykes, of the vulgar
ruffian, the bestial tramp"

The Montreal Star we'll says that the
most uncompromising of the opponents
of trusts in the United States are the
stanchest and most consistent upholders
of the protective policy. The malignant
Free Traders who try to represent these
trusts as the outgrowth of the tariff, per-
sistently ignore the fact that England, the
model Free Trade country, is the home of
some Of the most grasping and utterly I'M
scrupulous trade combinations in ex-
-istence. The coffee and grain combina-
lions and trusts in this country prove
clearly enough that they have their origin
neither In Protection nor Free Trade, but
In the criminal greed Of men for gain.
Coffee for years has been admitted into
this country free.

A certain fort in the far West, Sc
The story goes, was in command d
a major of artillery who was con
stantly lamentlng that his favorlte
arm could not be more frequently
used against the Indians. Finally
one day he took one OF the small
howitzers, which defended the fort,
and had it securely strapped to the
back OF an army mule with the
muZzle projecting over the ami
mails tail. With this novel gun
carriage he proceeded III high
feather with the captain and a err
geant TO a bluff on the bank of the
Missouri, near which was encamp-
ed a band OF friendly Indians.
The gun was duly loaded and
primed, the fuse inserted, and the
mule backed to the edge Of the
bluff. The major remarked some
thing about the moral effect the ex-
hibition was likely to produce upon
the Indian allies, and stepped gay
ly forward and applied the match.
The curiosity OF the mule was
aroused. He jerked his head around
TO see what was fixing away there
on his neck, and the next second
his feet were all punched together
and making forty revolutions a
minute, while the gun was threat
ening everything under the canopy

Skinned up the only available tree.
The sergeant threw himself flat on

over in agony, alternately invoking

through The root of The tort. The
recoil of the gun and the wild leap
of the terrified mule carried both
over the bluff to IA safe anchorage
