thief who must be driven away. Do not
believe the lies of those felons
who enact the comedy Of the
present government; they are in

them from your soil! The usurper
means to lead US to battle against our
liberatorS, our Russian benefactors.
Will you comply with this abominable
order? Do not become the accompllces

Are you not aware, soldiers, that the

the evil out with the root. EXpel the

This manifeStOiS one among the many
signs of persistent scheme for cOnVnis-
ing the young states of the East. The
revolutionary movement in ROumanla
was originally set going by some Rus
sian refugees with some rather
COAldUNISTIC IDEAS.
Other agencies are now at work
among the toilerS of the soil with the
object of so paralyZing the Roumanlan
government as to make Russian inter
ity of the country in case of war all the
more easy. Notwithstanding the Official
reports regarding the condition of EN-
perOr Frederick to the effect that there
has been favorable turn in the symp-
toms of the affected larynX and that the
fever has abated, it is learned from med
ical quarters, in which absolute c0ntl-
nence can be placed. that perllous
crisis is expected very soon. In fact,
it is believed in these quarters
that the end is not very Tar
off. From whatever side people look at
him, Emperor Frederick seems to be a
man whose loss will be irreparable.
The cause of spiritual freedom in Ger
powerful help. To him looked those
who believed that governments, not less
than individuals. are honOred and forti-
fed by adherence to the loftiest ideas of
justice and generosity. The forecast
made by his friends of noble reign
seemed justified by his first acts. His
accession to the imperial throne was felt
by all Europe to be message of peace
and good will. The series of rescripts
which in quick succession he has given
to the world during the last seven
weeks sketch with no doubtful hand the
outlines of
a NOTEWORTHY
Unity at home and peace abroad were
to be the condition under which the
emperor would try to enable his people
to realize in its widest purport that self
discipline which the greatest teacher of
Germany has held up to the modern
world as it's standard. He has been able
to do no more than show what mon
arch he might have been. The acute
turn in the emperor'S illness comes
at an unfortunate moment for
Europe. 1t comedies not merely
with the threatening phase of the
agitation for Plebiscite in France
but with the advent of spring, which
for political purposes means the practi-
cability of moving armies. The Rus
sian forces on the confines of Austria
and ROumania have not been reduced
during the winter, and nothing has oc-
CURED to altar the belief that some
movement in the direction of Bulgaria
was contemplated as soon as the weather
should permit. A calm, strong hand is
needed to take Germany peacefully
through the troubles that are threaten
ing in the east and west. Prince Bis
marck's hand is strong enough, no doubt,
but his temper does not mend with age,
and there is good reason to suppose that
he has already given offense to some of
the relgnlng German princes. Inc SICK
emperor is the one man who can best
keep all the German states in harmony.
So long as it is possible to hope that he
may be spared it will also be possible to
believe in the preservation of peace.
But the removal of his presence from
affairs and the substitution of his son
all apt pupil of the chancellor and the
Representatives of the young Germany,
who seems to outsiders all militant
would be change that cannot be con-
templated without profound anxiety.
