THE NEW EMPEROR.

The impressions In Europe Of the re-
suits OF having a new German Emperor
are thus far too early TO give any solid
indication Of a policy that depends on
the daily chances Of another stroke OF
death. 1t appears, however, that Fred
erick III. has not that traditional regard
for the Romanoffs that his father had,
for the reason that he has as smodern man
not the same patience with the barbarian
and brutal methods of the Cars, that are
very much the same as sixty.five years
ago when King William began to view
them. Among the old Emperor's last
words of advice were these You must
treat the Gar with consideration. That
will be the best for US" The new Kaiser
has the same idea as his father Of main.
tanning peace by strength. So long, too,
as Bismarck lives the established policy
will, Of course, be maintained.
Frederick goes through the formality
of taking the reins Of the Emperor off his
dead sire's hands, and the temporary
powers of regency conferred on his own
son cease until renewed by the new
Emperor. After the change from warm
Italy to Berlin the chances Of the royal
invalid's living long become more slender,
and the excited condition Of the European
mind will continue for some time.
After Prince Bismarck an 1ouncement
that the same policy Of peace in the same
conservative spirit would be maintained,
perhaps the key to the situation is in
Bismarck's lease of life and not in that
Of Frederick. he represents the iron
regime of q long time, and no more mod
ern or gentler policy will prevail until
he has followed his great master finally
off the stage.

THE TORN.

Richmond church. gOers, with an addi-
tional degree OF Lenten humility, had an
opportunity yesterday TO mortify the
flesh somewhat by a patient use of the
umbrella in the face Of a determined
wind and rain that came capriciously
from all directions and tried the temper
and the feelings Of all who were out OF
doors.
The temperature began to fall In the
afternoon, and al ? pm. the wind that
had blown rather from the South sud
denly veered 10 the westward, and in less
than an hour the mercury had sought
refuge low down towards the bulb of the
thermometer. Caught thus, In the full
promise Of spring, with light overcoats
and dispositions that had opened gener-
ously to the season and dallied with its
first green Offering in the shape Of mint,
the Richmond citizen Was all broken
up; and in the afternoon his piety
had to 90 hunting warm Goals in the
penitential ashes Of Lent. As the night
closed the snow came driving from the
north, and at II o'clock the tick of the
telegraph was only spasmotic. and wires
down was all the satisfaction that could
be gotten from New York OF Washing
ton.
At midnight the sky had completely
cleared, and the westerly wind gave, what
lis generally at hat hour, the guarantee of
II clear day.

PoliteueSs Of the japanese.

Talking OF polteness, the japanese have
that article in their composition TO n very
extraordinary extent. Men are always
excessively polite TO one another. They
bend their backs and bow their heads ard
put their two hands back TO back between
their knees and have a great time. Bui
the most amusing thing is 70 see two OLE
ladies in Japan meeting one another Of
tie street. The street is empty. wen say
and they catch sight Of one another thref
or four blocks apart. They Immediately
begin 70 make 0bssance at one another
and they keep bending and bowling at
short intervals until they come together,
when they make that peculiar hiss by
drawing in the breath and keep on saying
'Ohayo' for about two minutes, The
young things, the "MoOsmais, 10 are very
charming and graceful in their greeting Of
one another, but the old ladies are ornat
and elaborate in their address.
And the language has been framed with
a view TO the necessities OF p~olteness and
Of difference in rank. Are" with the
accent on the G, is the verb 10 be. II You
are talking 70 a c0olie. somebody very
much below you, are j. good enough
for is" II you are talking 70 one a
little below you, or you wish TO be polite
TO an underllng, YOU use "arimas. II
you are on formal terms with an equal,
you say ''gozarimas," and when You ad-
dress a man high above you in rank You
make it ''gozarimasuru It's IN elastic

AMERICAN ART.

A French artist thinks " with regard to
our American school OF art, properly
speaking, 1t does not exist. and will not
exist for a long time to come, because,
being born but yesterday, ii cannot res,
on any national traditions. American
ART for many years TO come can only be
the reflection and continuation Of the
schools Of the Old World"
a school Of art may seem to be a cer-
tain style, but the extent and grandeur
OF America, its novel characteristics,
and, above all. the inspiration of freer
thought. will certainly produce advanced
ideas in art in this country. Any one
who has seen a group OF Indian warriors
on the banks Of the Yellow Stone, or en-
ioyed the TRANCE mixtures of color seen
Ia the landscapes under the shadow Of the
Rocky Mountains. will wonder why
there have not been artists who
could people such scenes with the
characters that belong to them, and
group them so as 10 make beautiful ana
novel works Of art. The first American
painter Of great genius will be quick 10
catch the inspiration OF nsture to make a
foe work OF art without any school" or
tradition" about il.

{. n. White, chief paymaster OF the
| New York, Lake Erie and Western railroad
company for many years, has resigned.
lie is succeeded by Peter +. Dononue,
who was Paymaster Whites assistant.
When Fisk and Gould were in control Of
the Erie. Peter Donohue was tisk's Office
boy. He was a slight-built boy, but his
eve was always on the right side OF
business.
! One dag Fisk gave orders to Peter, who
sat at the outside door OF Prince Erie's
Office In the Grand Opera House building,
that lie would be engaged ia some partlc-
uIar matters. and must be ont 10 every
applicant. no matter who 1t might be.
At that time John Morrissey and Fisk
were great friends, and Morrissey hap
pened to want 10 see Fisk that day on some
important business. Peter knew OF the
hich regard Fisk had for John Morrissey,
| and the Inter was in the habit, when he
called at the Eric building, Of walking
into Fisk's Office u%nannounced and with
out ceremony. On this day he was pass
Ing. when the three-foot-and-a-half Office
boy rose up and told the congressman
that he couldn't pass.
"fiov's that said Morrissey.
mr.. Fisk is busy and can't see any

He'll see me, :" said Morrissey.
NO he won't insisted Peter.
The persistence VI the boy rather net

h. said, testify, and taking n step toward
the door:
DO You know who / ann
Yes" said Peter, coolly, you're John
Morrissey."
We'll, - said Morrissey, Il guess Mr..
Fisk will see ma"
With that he swept the diminutiye Of
fee boy aside and strobe toward the door.
His hand was Oh the knob, but he did no:
turn K. Peter Donohue sprang on the
broad back Of the former athlete and
climbed up II Ike a monkey. He threw
his arm around Morrissey's neck and
gave il a squeeze that shut the big mans
wind off. and forced him to give all his
attention to freeing himself from the de-
termined Office boys grasp. He finally
succeeded. but when the novel struggle
was over the Office boy stood again be-
tween the congressman and Fisk's door.
Mir. Fisk gave me orders to let nobody
In there. " exclaimed Peter, and you
can't 20 in. That's all there is about it,"
Morr.ssey's anger quickly gave way to
admiration Of the boys pluck ana faith
fitness, and, laughing heartily over his
defeat, he went away. He told Fisk next
day about his encounter with Peter, and
how the latter had ''downed him" Moth
ing all Fisk's remarkable career ever
pleased him n much d. the mill, 30 rs he
called it, between Morrissey and DonohHe.
The hoy was rapidly advanced by Fisk,
and one Of the direct results Of this affair
with Morrissey is his present place at the
head Of the most important branch Of the

If North Carolina and Virginia are The
principal States interested in the aboli-
lition OF the tobacco tax, then let the
Members Of Congress from those two
States comprehend At once, and clearly,
that If any OF the taxes are taken oil,
all should be taken OF and no discrimi'
nation made in any direction. II TIE
little manufacturers or the farmers are
allowed to prepare smoking and chewing
tobacco In any forms, the same freedom
should be granted at the same time in the
manufacture of cigars and cigarettes.
This must certainly be the sentimen, OF
the great tobacco States now; but If 1t
l. not it soon will be, if the operation
OF an uneven and foolish law is tried.

Some of the Republican Protectionists
are alarmed at the close relationship that
the public sees between the Trusts and
the high tariff. The object of the Trusts
and of the protective tariff is precisely
the same-namely, high prices and a
monopoly Of profits. The ProtectiOnists
claim that if the particular manufac.
turers favored by the tariff are protected
from foreign competition they can get
higher prices for their goods, make more
profit, can and will employ more labor
and pay higher wages, aud thus the
money accumulated may be distributed
equitably.

ply aiso'to the Trust, which manipulates
