Disposition OF the Dead.

The disposition of tine dead Is attract.
ing much attention in England. Tho
question is being agitated by the English
Burial Reform association. During late
years there has been moro or less discus
sion on this topic. The objection TO the
present mode Of burial is based on two
grounds. First. the sanitary reason, and
second the financial cost. As funerals
are managed in the present time they are
expensive ard fall with much weight
upon the poor. who are as fond Of mani
testing their respect for the dead 10y large
funerals as are the rich. \ medical
authority in London declares that the
average cost every year for burying the
dead in England and Wales alone is
$2J.O00,000 This would make the
average expense Of every funeral about
$50 In the United States it cannot be
any less.
The sanitary objection is based upon
the reports Of sanitary authorities that
communities living in the rcighborhood
of eravcyards suffer from ailments TO
which those who live Il distance from the
place Of burial are strangers. Dsraeli,
in the house of lords. for this reason
urged that all the Gods acres in Great
Britain should be closed. These reasons
are mailing many converts TO cremation.
The best evidence Of tic Growth of this
idea is to be found in the strength Of the
international Cremation congress, which
was held about year AGO in Milan.
The roll included representative from
every part Of the civilized world. De

KAISER WILLIAMS SPEECH.
The Berlin Fress Refutes the Imputa-

ton re MADE.
LONDON, Nov. 5, 4 A. M.-The Times Der
lin dispatch says the replies of the liberal
press to the recent address Of the emperor
to the municipal delegatio are conceived
in a spirit of freedom and boldness which
has probably never before, or at least not
for a long time, been displayed in criticism
of any act of the King of Prussia OF Ger
man emperor.
The Vossische Zeitung says it is the duty
of the Berlin press to oppose the assump-
tion that an intimacy exists between the
municipal authorities and the liberal press
with the full weight of truth.
The TdgbLdtt heads an article with the
words, attributed 10 Frederick the Great,
"Gazetten Zolen Nichl Genirel Werden,
and argues: 1.-THE emperor cannot find
time himself, and must employ middle
men to follow the journals. These men are
liable to error. Strong in community OF
sentiments between our writers and read
ers, we shall continue to render unto the
emperor the things that are the emperor's
and unto the free constitution what belongs
to it.h
Non-liberal papers do not comment on
the subject.
The Post remarks that the Reichsonzliger
communication is another proof that love
of the truth is not more especially charter
istic of Emperor William than of his grand
father.

Phelps and advises the government to show
deliberation in choosing a successor to Lord

involve a change in government. That
matter is one of perfect indifference to
Englishmen; but that March next will be
