a MARKED CONTRAST.

The Gulf Which Separates American
Freedom from Despotism.
1t is we'll for the American citizen
to reflect upon the governmental sys-
tenn which renders the death of one
man such an important consideration
with reference to the interests of mill
ions as that of the Emperor William
is. Although Bismarck is still regard
ed as the main factor of the political
situation, there are hopes and fears all
through Europe of changes Of policy
that may result from the accession of
the new monarch.
Whatever these changes are. they
are not in answer to expressions of
popular will, but come to all from the
accident oflife or death to one. And
in the near future is another change
of German rulers with further uncer-
tainties foreshadowed. Not only Ger
many, but all Europe, is deeply con-
cerned. A great war. in which scarce
ly a principle of human progress is
involved, hangs trembling in the bal
ance. What tritiing there is here with
the lives and destinies of the people!
How different from policy marked
out and decreed by public sentiment!
1t is almost impossible to imagine this
country thus placed. To picture it so
is TO bring q realization of the gulf
that separates freedom from despot-
ism.
There may be strong national feel
ing underlying German unity. But
whatever its character, it was accom-
pllshed by the brains and energy of a
few principally by one man.
Will it stand when the support of its
makers is withdrawn, or, like the en-
pire of the first Napoleon, will it go
into dissolution with it's authors?
Surely there is no governmental
strength like that which prevails under
constitutional rule of the people.
Our Presidents come and go without
jar. and even assassin alton in no way
shakes the frmness of the State Nor
are the lives of hundreds of thous ands
at the mercy of irresponsible men. 1t
will do us good to note these things
and recall the value of American
citizenship M 7. World

The Clever Woman Who Now Presides at
the Etysee.
President CARROTS wife is clever
woman. lively and we'll informed, and
has made great effort to restore
some of the social glories of P arts,
which were so much obscured under
the Grevy regime. She was active in
pushing her husband and in keeping
his name before the public, and never
missed attending an official reception,
so to her he owes to certain extent
his present honors. While she was
going to all these receptions she was
taking notes of the failures and errors
of the hostesses, and has thereby
managed to avoid most of them, now
that she herself has to give them.
She is the daughter of brilliant man,

She has no son, which is great grief

she trains with great care. She is ex-
tremely fond of American women,
and since her elevation to the Eiysee
has been car, full TO have the United
States we'll represented by its female
citizens at all her receptions. There
