THE YOUNG EMPEROR.

II Is q very significant fact that the
young Emperor OF Germany just seated
on this throne addresses himself not TO tb'
whole people with an appeal to their
great achievements in the arts and SCI
ences, but to the army withan eloquent IT :
minder OF the military glory OF the cou' :

he desired to weld the power OF his coun'
try with the esprit du corps OF the army
rather than with a modern idea OF H.
eralism that would suit the changing AMI

The Emperor promises the glories a

fundamental mistake In the impera
policy, and that is the unlimited drain o !
people, so many OF whom are putin W =

to devote TO the squad drill and autom1'

which should be spent in studying trade ,
arts, sciences and business.
The example is not II solitary one
in history, that of Spain, country Of
glorious traditions and of the grealesi

But she became in the hands OF narrow

people, and the elements necessary to
prosperity began to dwindle until her
present state became The natural result Ct

The pride of Germany is justly great,
but it is no longer the day of war on',
and people who were only soldiers
will come after a while to have nothin

now than of discipline, and the country

Chest Measurement for Recruits.

As the result of many years experience
the recruiting office OF the United States
army have adopted this method of chest
measurement. which may be OF advantage
to amateur athletes who find the circum
ference Of their chests varying through
inaccurate measurement. Strip 10 the

The tips OF your fingers touching Have
the measurer put Il tape around your chest
under the armpits inhale and exhale
naturally Let your arms fall easily by
your side The tape will slip down TO the
maximum girth of the chest. This is the
mean chest Exhale al you can, still
keeping your arms BY your side This Is
the minimum chest. lnhale and initiate

tween the maximum and minimum chests
is called the mobility 4 mobility Of over

are to have an election that will turn on

son. We say for the first time in TWEEN v
years, for the campaign of 1868 turned
largely on the very important issue of
honest money.
The people can discuss the issues this
time in logical terms, and everybody can
decide on the comparative safely and
honesty Of Cleveland or Blaine All
ministration and the consequences. Mir.
Cleveland was not content TO be the rep
resent alive of average Democracy. On
the contrary, he brought TO the perform

standard of public duty, far more deli

and especially far more resolute devo.

country as he understood them, than We
had seen in the presidential office since
the times of some of the mighty fathers.
The remarkable point about him is the
unconquerable self-confdence born of
courage, honesty and common sense, all Of
which he applied in straightforward
manner TO the simplest or the most diff.

THE PRESIDENT SAYS 1T I

A prominent New York Democrat re-.
ports that the President said on Saturday
that he was pleased with the attitude Of
the Democrats on the tariff question. He
maintained that the canvass before IL e
people will show that the Democrat }
have the popular side The country will
not much longer endure an excessive
system of taxation that creates such a
dangerous surplus in the Treasury, and
the good sense of the people demands
that the taxes upon necessities shall be
the first 20 be reduced The Republicans,
forced TO do something, may seek -
abolish the internal revenue taxes, but
the people, the President feels assured,
will emphatically declare for cheaper
clothing rather than cheaper whisky.
So the President like a wise mau holds
straight In his course, aud goes right 10
the point. 1t is quite certain that a way
faring man ought to be able TO settle for
himself the question why he should pay
more for clothing Of every soft than the
people in Canada do, when the only plea
is to protect small minority of Amer
cans who manufacture the goods.

The oldest and largest OF these free
