In letter from Interlaken to the Chi
cago Advance. Professor G. N. Mead in
Inmates belief that the death of Freder-
lex and the accession of William II. was
a very good thing for the cause of evan
gelical religion in Prussia and Germany.
Frederick's English wife, who has her
own ambitiouSness, avarlce, want Of
tact and ostentatious preference of En-
glish ways to thank for her unpopulari
tv, is free-thinker. he says. She would
have exerted her influence with her hus-
band to secure the dismissal of the or
thodox court preachers appointed by the
old kaiser, and the appointment Of ''ra
tionalistic minister" in their place
The whole influence of the court, so far
as she could have controlled it, would
have been thrown on that srde-the anti
evangelical side. William H.. according
to the professor, is religious man of de-
cldedly orthodox leanings, and his wife
Is "a most earnestly religious woman,
whose influence will be as much in the
right direction as her mother-in-law 5
would have been in the wrong one"
The idea that the emperor sis religious
man is probably based upon the circum-
stance that he imbibes his grandfather's
notion, that he is emperor by divine
right" Such inference certainly cannot
be deduced from the emperor's fondness
for the military arm of his government
nor his threatening declarations as TO
Germany's foreign policy.

The Democrats of the Kansas City,
Mo-, district are very hopeful of electing
their candidate to congress this year, III
asmuch as Major Warner has declined
to accept a denomination and election at
the hands of his party. The declination
of Major Warner is to be regretted, not
alone because his reelection was assured
in advance, but because of his marked
ability as capable and popular repre-
sentative. His successor to the Fifty
first congress is by no means certain to
be a Democrat, however. The Republi-
cans of the Fifth Missouri district will
beyond question find a worthy successor
to Major Warner-one whom they will
have as little difficulty in electing as
they did their present faithful represen-
tative.

Ten years ago, when Chinese immigra
ton was canvassed at the polls, Califor
MIA gave less than 900 votes for it in
total of $50 900. The San Diego Union
says Republicans and Democrats were a
unit on the question then and are unit
now. The attempt to make either party
appear as a coolie champion because the
leading candidate of the one and the sec
ond candidate of the other did not al
ways view the matter as they have in the
last two years. is witless and absurd.
There is no pro-Chinese party in that
state or the country, notwithstanding
General Harrison once refused to violate
a Chinese treaty which should first have
been legally abrogated, and that Judge
Thurman announced that Chinese immi-
grafton might be of use as furnishing
cheap labor to the coast. Both stand
now where their parties do in the belief
that coolie labor is always an evil and
often curse.

Now we have at this moment about Sl15,-
100000 called surplus revenue-that is,
taxes collected from the people beyond the
necessities of the government. Those dol
lars-115, 900, 600 of them-are lying perfect
~ idle in the vault of the United States
of no service to any human being, drawing
no interest. earning no protits.-Thurman
in his Port Huron speech.
If Mr. Thurman had had az great de-
sire to acouaint his hearers with the
facts of the matter he had in hand as to
make a point by misleading them, he
would have told them that a considera-
BILE portion of the surplus lies idle in the
treasury, or is being used by the banks
without cents benefit to the govern
ment, because the necessary expenses of
the government were not properly pro-
vided for by the last congress, as witness
the deficiency appropriation bill,
the river and harbor bill, etc.
The blame for this, unquestionably, rests
upon the Democrats, for all bills making
appropriations must originate in the
house, and they had absolute control of
that body. By garbling facts or stating
them only in part the doty old dema-
gague hopes to delude the people. It's
too gauzy as well as gally.

1t can no longer be denied that President
Cleveland is a great leader. AT all stages,
from the hour of his inauguration, Presi-
dent Cleveland has been more than able to
cheekmste the shrewdest Republican
ieaders.-Topeka Democrat.
The editor OF the Democrat knows Just
q little more about the presidents check
mating proclivities than anybody else,
because hehas had experience in that line
himself. The way Mr.. Cleveland check
mated the Democrats editor in his little
scheme down TO him with David Bennett
Hill for the Democratic presidential
nomination was a caution--to the check
mated. Therefore this penitential adj
miration.

THEN AND NOW.

Mr.. Thurman, when telling his audi
ences of his long and faithful party
services, and in his rather Boosting
reference to the many good Democratic
speeches he has made in the years gone
by, might quote the following from
his speech before the Ohio Democratic
state convention in 1862:
1t would try the ethics of any man to
deny that some of the southern states
have cause for revolution. The south
are brave people. The southern states
cannot be held by force. The blacks
won't fight for the invaders The Hun
garians had less cause for complaint
against Austria than the south against the
north.
Mr. Thurman has all his life enjoyed
the reputation of being both an honest
and able man. Yet the foregoing
speech shows how great mistake he
made when in the yigor Of his physical
and intellectual manhood. If he erred
in judgement then, can he be depended
on now, when all his faculties have
become impaired by the weight Of
nearly four score years of active life?

The old saw of Its an ill wind that
blows no good" is verified in Florida just
now. Three weeks ago the state was
almost panic stricken over the appear
ance and for a few days rapid spread of
yellow fever. But the authorities, local.
state and national. took hold of the mat
ter promptly and vigorously and by in
augurating thorough system of santa
ton succeeded in checking the spread of
the epidemic and in practically stamping
it out where it existed. The resulting
benefits are found in the healthful condi-
ton in which every city. town and vii
of the state and of the contiguous states
has been placed as precautionary against
the dreaded disease. Such sanitary pre-
cautions are always in order, and every
where. Epidemics are invariably the
effects Of some local cause without which
they could not occur.

TEXTS FOR SHORT SERMONS.

From Good Housekeeping.
To protect ourselves against the storms
of passion, marriage with good woman
is a harbor in the tempest; but with a
bad woman. it is tempest in the har-
bor.-J. Pelit Sem,
In all christian countries men are
trained to a tender care of wives, moth
ers and sisters; and chivalrous impulse
to protect and provide for helpless wo-
manhood is often stronger in men than
in most women.-Catherine 4. Baker.
The best and simplest cosmetic for
woman is constant gentleness and SYM
pathy for the noblest interests of her
fellow creatures. This preserves and
gives to her features in indelibly gay,
fresh and agreeable expression. If wo-
men would but realize that harshness
makes them ugly, it would prove the best
means of conversion.-Aue

Labor party meets in this city today.
Beyond the mere matter of current news,
which will be properly taken care of in
these columns, we have no interest in its
proceedings, but it may be matter of
interest to those who will compose that
convention to know that there are a
number of Democratic emisaries from
different parts of this state and Missouri
in this city whose mission is to pull the
wool free wool over their eyes and gull
them into some sort of a coalition or
compromising attitude towards that
party. We know whereof we speak. If
the information is worth anything to the
U. L. representatives here assembled,
use it; if not, all right.

The Kansas City Times starts out in
the state campaign in Missouri on a diff
ferent lire from that usually pursued
heretofore by declaring its intention to
support its party nominees. The Times
made some very ugly, not to say damag-
ing, accusations against Mayor Francis
before his nomination for governor; but
it can easily get out of its dilema by adj
hitting that its allegations were lies got
ten up for campaign purposes, or words

A plausible excuse for the delay of

English workmen must be prodigal
livers if it be true, as Grandpa Thurman
asserts, that wages are higher in England
than in the United States. Savings
banks in England average about thirteen
dollars a. head, while In Massachusetts,
they average one hundred and forty
nine dollars. But every one knows that
the old gentleman is romantic in his
mental visions.

The American Banker says the whole
number of new banks organized during

against 261 during the first half of 1887.
Most of these new banks have been or

eleven in New England. The Pacific
states get sixty-six Of them and the mid
die states forty-one.
