The proclamation issued by the Socialists
Of Germany is shown by its full text to be a
very bitter document indeed. The late EN-
peror is called the "Grapeshot Prince" the
present Emperor is attacked as fraud and
the future Emperor, the Crown Prince Will
lam, is reviled in the most insulting terms.
The first act of the government of the pres
ent Kaiser, it declares, was rude blow in
the face of humanity" because it excludes
from amnesty delegates of the Socialistic
movement; ana the dying Emperor is assur-
ed of the "hatred and curse Of the working
people so long as horny fist shall be clench-
ed, so long as true workingman's heart
shall beat" In conclusion the Socialists are
exhorted to employ leach minute, each OPP
portunity, to bring the light of the Social
Democratic idea into an overwhelming circle
till the death-knell of the ruling classes
sounds, and out Of the ruin which this re-
CINE of the nobility, the btvgeoise and the
Hohenzollerns buries under itself, shall rise
the red Social republic" The numbers Of
the Social Democrats of Germany forbid that
this should be regarded as mere empty fury;
and the extraordinary care of the govern
ment shows that it is not so regarded. With
an Emperor on the throne such as the Crown
Prince promises to be, this socialistic pow
der house may become mine under the very

Lord Wolseley's declaration at recent
banquet that the British army and navy were
declining and that they were both inadequate
for work which they might be called upon to
do, has caused something of sensation in
England. Wolseley is adjutant general of
the army and statement from him Of course
wears something of an official air The dis
cussion growing out of his statement is spir-
tied and somewhat acrimonious. Naturally
the Liberals, being the outs and therefore not
responsible for any delnquencies, are in
clined TO side with Wolseley, while the Tor
les are vigorously denouncing him and his
assertions. In the House Of Lords the Pre-
mier has replied TO his statements, denying
their truthfulness and claiming that neither
the army nor navy has been neglected, but
that both have been strengthened within q
year. The Premier's criticism Of Wolseley
for making the statement he did at banquet
instead of in the House of Lords where IL
could be replied to was very severe. Wolse-
ley, it is said, will reply and then resign.
His revelations are good deal
strengthened by the fact that it was on ac-
count of alleged miSmanagement Of military
affairs that Lord Randolph Churchill with
drew from the Cabinet.

The Iowa Supreme Court is soon to be
called ON to decide on the question whether
the itinerancy of Methodist clergymen affects
their legal status as citizens. A saloon
keeper challenged a Methodist clergyman's
vote on the ground that he was not citizen
and could not be citizen by reason of itin-
erancy. The election judges ruled against
the saloon keeper. who Immediately appealed
to the Supreme Court which tribunal, it is
believed, will afford him little comfort. The
whole affair seems like an attempt to frighten
Methodist clergymen who have taken an
active part in the temperance movement.

The King of Sweden's visit to the Pope is

Instead of following the usual etiquette of
the Vatican by making at least show of
kissing the signet ring of the sovereign pom
tiff. the King, assuming an equal rank with
his host, kissed him on both cheeks. Pope

The women who were refused the privilege
of voting in the Methodist conference in
New York, may bide their time with the
greater contentment because of the progress
in public and political influence of their sis
tiers across the water. In England women
are more and more concerning themselves
with the business of politics. The Primrose
League, long strong auxiliary of the Tory
party, owes its flourishing existence to the
endeavors of the women of Tory predilec-
tions; and this League is now matched by
Woman's Liberal Federation, composed of
women whose husbands, fathers or brothers
are Gladstonians in politics.
