FREDERlck'S DIARY.
Tho Thirty Volumes Written by the Late
Emperor OF Germany.

Tho Thirty Volumes Written by the Late
Emperor OF Germany.
There has been great deal of gossip
of the widest and most scandalous
kind about Prussian State papers which
are alleged to have been found missing
at Potsdam after the death of the EN-
peror Frederick, and it is stated that
they were handed by the Empress
Victoria to the Queen when her Majesty
was at Charlottenburg, and that they
are in England. These stories culmin-
ated in the malevolent inventions of an
evening paper about the virtual i'm
prisonment'' of the Empress Victoria,
which, however, were such palpable
flctions that they excited no attention
at home or abroad. The real truth,
however, which reaches me from a
trustworthy correspondent in Germany,
is that the diary of the Emperor Fred
erick can not be found. The Emperor
had kept a journal during more than
thirty years (ever since his marriage),
which was not q mere record of his
movements and occupations, but an
elaborate running commentary upon
public affairs-both political and social
very much in the style of Mr..
Greville's Memoirs. This diary was
contained in thirty immense volumes.
each being secured by a lock, and
directly after the Emperors's death
his successor, at the request of Prince
Bismarck, demanded that the whole OF
them should at once be given up, in
order that his majesty's "reminiscences
might be placed among the Prussian
State archives at Berlin. The Empress
refused to surrender the volumes, and
when second and u more peremptory
application was made after the EN-
peror's funeral, her Majesty announced
that the diary had been taken to En-
gland by the Queen, and that she
would probably publish it, as it had
been her husbands particular wish
that it should be published after u
suitable revision, and that he had re-
quested her to act as his literary exc
cutrix. The Empress, I hear, added
G4du jdoblSO w tiiO ideO AIA1PCLOt
memory requires this publication, as
he would derive us much benefit from
it as her father, the Prince-Consort,
did from the publication OF Sir Theo-
dore Martins work. The idea Of such
a proceeding is, however, very obnOx-
ious to Prince Bismarck, who appre-
bends that the Empress might take
what he would regard as an extremely
inadequate view OF her duties as editor,
and, Of course, the Emperor William
objects very strongly to any publica-
tion which might reflect upon German
policy in the past, or which might be
in any way injurious to what he con-
ceives the present or future interests
OF the empire. Here the dispute rests,
but one may predict with confidence
that there will be no publication for
some years to come, and that when the
diary does appear it will contain moth.

advisers can reasonably take exception.

SOCIETY AND SOLITUDE,
why tho Latter II Essential to the Pre-
servation of True Personality.

Why the Latter IL Essential to the Pre-
servation of True Personality.
There can be no adequate comparison
between society and solitude. Though
mostpersons will prefer the former and
q few, perhaps, the latter, no wise per-
son will choose either as permanent
state. 1t is together, or rather in al
ternate action, that both yield their
richest benefits. Society stimulates
the thoughts, invigorates the pur-
poses, gladdens the heart and brightens
life. Solitude strengthens, confirms
and natures all these results. Or,
rather, this is what each may do for
him who uses them Alright. For it is
not the simple condition Of being alone,
or with others, that will produce any
good effect. Much social life, so called,
merely fritters away the time, fills the
mind with puerilities and the life with
folly. Much OF the solitude endured on
compulsion is only productive OF rest
lessness and ennui, or only serves to
nourish envious thoughts and bitter
memories. But whoever has learned
SO to live in society as to bless and be
blessed will feel the need OF certain
seasons Of perfect solitude. Then it is
that he may gather up his forces,
strengthen his resolves, review his
past and prepare for his future. 1t is
we'll that men should influence one
another in their business and their
homes, in the intercourse OF chance
acquaintance and the close ties of friend
ship. This it is that keeps them from
growing narrow and bigoted in their
own opinions, and draws them together
in love, in friendship, in common
patriotism and q human brotherhood.
But this constant influence needs to be
balanced by q firm individuality, a
manly self-respect and steady adherence
to the principles that appeal to each
ones sense of right. Unless there are
times when the man retires voluntarily
from all human sight, where no public
or private pressure can sway him,
where his own thoughts, his own feel
ings, his own conscience may assert
themselves, unrebuked and unassisted,
he can never preserve that personality
which is, or should be, the core of his
being. Many man has been drawn
into snares that have proved his ruin,
simply from not having pondered over
the matter in solitude. Offers have
been made and opportunities presented
that looked specious and plausible
enough while the glow of enthusiasm
illuminated them, and which have
been first eagerly embraced and then
bitterly regretted. A quiet hour of
solitude might have cooled the heated
Imagination, discovered the weak spot
in the enterprise and averted the catas-
trophe. Or astrong temptation to some
questionable action or some doubtful
indulgence is presented to the social
man, and he yields and sinks in the
moral scale, when, had he retired alone
and listened to the still, small voice,
that would have spoken to him there,
he might have been saved from the
fatal step. So there are Affections that
must be wrestled with in secret, OF
they will triumph over manhood; and
there are even joys with which nc
stranger may intermeddle. PhiladeL

The Democratic Senators SAYS the
New York World present a solid front
n opposition TO ths Republican bin to
increase the duties of ths war tariff in
the interest OF trusts and monopolies.
This is an encouraging sign. 1t
means a renewal OF the contest for tax
reduction through tariff reform. IL
means that the Democratic party is
SUN united upon the sound principle
which sun red defeat through stupid
biundeTs and scandalous bribery in the
late campaign.
This is no time for throwing cold
water upon party which emerged over
five millions strong from a brief sab
merging in a vagrant tidal wave. S.IIl
less is IL an occasion for renewing the
silly plea Of footing camp followers that
the great Democratic host should con.
ceal its principles in the hope or recov.
ering the postofilces. IL is time for
courageous and united action IN sup,
port OF tn, policy which SO nearly
tliumphed In the late elec ion and
whi,h will surely succeed in the next
trial.

Dudley's Dynamite.

The Federal grand jury at Indian
ap1lis has the casa OF Treasurer Dudley,
of the National Republican COMMITTEES,
under consideration. and il is quite
pr, babe that an Indictment will be
found against him for his plot to cor
rupt Indiana "floaters in blocks of 1--WE. -
y warrant was issued for his arrest two
days after the publication of his now
famous letter. but as he has not return
ed to Indiana OF course the warrant has
not been served. If indicted by a
United States grand jury staying away
will not avail him, unless he goes
abroad. as the process OF she Federal
courts can be served anywhere in the
United States.
In view of his probable indictment.
Mr.. Dudley has decided to threaten a
listle. He recently told Ex-senator
Mcdonald that he had some dynamite
in his pocket ready for use in case it
was needed If this means ANYTHING It
means that Mr.. Dudley proposes to
make rePrisals in the Democratic camp
in casa he Is compelled TO face trial for
his attempt to buy votes for the Repub.
licans.
Mr.. Dudley should be indicted and
tried for his offense, even il bis pocket 8

blow the Democratic party sky high.
The use o. money 10 purchase "fioa.ers''
Will continue until i: shall he made
dangerous. II is probable, as MI. Dud :.
ley intiuates in his threat, that Demo-
Gratis are equally guilty with Rspubli-
cans 10 this matter. This should not
induce the Federal grand jury to let ND
I on Dudley. He should be brought to
trial for his crime against free govern
mert. II he in revenge turns the light
on De mocrstic vote buying, all tie bet
ter. Both sides will get some portion

The one thing for the Federal grsrd

crime and that If Mr.. Dudley engaged

il. From what we know of General
Harrison, we are quiGe sure he will not
be drawn or forced in this matter be-
yond his convictions OF duty, and that
the Office seeksrs who attempt to crowd
him will not profit by it. We are strong
~ inclined TO believe that in the next
administration those who are the most
clamorous for Office will not be the first
TO be recognized. Their very forward
ness and anxiety will be apt to over

The Fight Still On.

The education campaign has been re-

OF the Democratic Senators was to let
the Senate su5st itute for the Mills bill
to 90 through without opposition, there
being no probability of any joint legis-
lation AT this session, but as the R.pub-
licaDs themselves were disposed to
