pnmn and paaeantry,

Emperor WILLIAM Of Germany having
disappointed his critics by falling to show In
his speeches TO the Reichstsg and the Land.
tao that he was "spollIng for fight" the
critics aforesaid are hauling him over the
Goals for opening those bodies with great
pomp aud ceremony. These structures are
as unreasonable As they are absurd. The
display made On the occasions referred TO was
no more than what might have been ex-
pected, was in keeping with German tradi-
lions, and but little more gorgeous than the
pagea Mt that characterizes the opening OF the
British Parliament by the queen in person.
Certainly it did not eclipse what we may as
sume would have marked a coronation in
Engand-the country after whose govern
ment WILLIAMS critics profess to wish 10
see the German Government modelled. BE-
sides, the Reichstag and Lsndtss pageants
were in harmony with German taste, and no
doubt afforded the people great pleasure
Our German friends are in a certain way the
most decorative people In Europe. They
have a natural eye for the scenic, "a witness
a German festival or a German opera. Eyi-
dence Of their iondness for imposing
effects begins with their myths, and
runs through their history to the
present day. In this bent Of the German
mind is found the inspiration OF some OF The
graudest poetry, music, and art the world
possesses. To the influence OF German love
for the weirdIy splendid Is due much OF TIE
heroic in verse as well as much OF the soul
in music, the impressive in sculpture, ana
the bold and strong IN painting. with which
the present age is most familiar. IL VII
LIAM commits DO greater "crime" than that
OF practically recognizing the facts above
stated Germany will be exceedingly iortu-
nate At worst, he did nothing but afford 4
show which his critics even in free America
would have been glad 10 see. His father
might have done the same thing and not ex-
cited SINGLE adverse comment.
