DUST TO DUET.
The Remains of the late Emperor Entombet

The Remains of the late Emperor Ent0mbed
Short Services Royalty In Attendance.
PoTsDAM, June 1S-The funeral service
over the remains of the late Emperor
Frederick began at 10 o'clock this morn
ing. Prince Bismarck, Count Won Moltke,
and the foreign princes arrived early.
The railway stations at Berlin and Pots
dam are closed against the public. Large
crowds have cOngregated outside both
stations. Soldiers and police are visible
everywhere. The castle Friedrich k ron
was guarded like fortress. The church
bells were being tolled. At 8 o'c.ock the
ministers took their places around the
coffin. The cathedral choir sang two
hymns, the first beginning "Soon Thou
Cailest Me to Higher joys" and the sec
ond, Jesus is My Trust"
Chaplain Keyel then blessed the corpse
and the mourners, the choir meanwhile
singing the hymn, ali | Am to Die"
Twelve commanders of twelve different
regiments, of which the late emperor was
chief, carried the coffin to the hears
which was drawn by eight horses. Eight
majors took the brides of the horses,
and the procession started for Friedrichs-
kirche.
Upon arriving at the church the mourn
ers took the seats assigned them After
the service Chaplain Kegel pronounced
the benediction. There was no sermon.
After the Gring of volIeys and
minute guns by the troops, the
mOurners took their departure. Be
fore leaving the widowed empress
bent over the coffin and took a solemn
farewell look at her dead husbands face
Court Preacher Persius repeated the clos.
ing prayer and the choir intoned dirge.
In the procession from the castle to the
church this Prince of Wales walked with
the emperor and the king of Saxony.
Among those who took part in the process
sion were Prince Henry, second son of
the deceased emperor, the hereditar y
prince of SaxeM Meiningen and the gener-
als of the army, headed by Ger. Won
Moltke, who carried a marsha!'s staff.
The funeral ceremonies ended shortly be-
fore l o'clock.
BERLIN, June 1S-Iu spite of the hurry
in the preparations the funeral was not
merelay military display worthy of the
great soldier, but ceremonial, graced by
every evidence of public grief
and affection. The brilliancy of the
uniforms glittenng in the sun
presented picture ver7 different from
that presented on the occasion OF the
funeral of Emperor William. As the
cortege moved along every head was un-
covered, and there was hardly dry eye.
The services in tie church was most
impressive. In the archwsy of the
church the emperor thanked the relatives
fer their presence and then baie them
adieu. The church was then cleared and
prepared for the solemn service. The
Empress Victoria, unable to bear
the strain of the Ceremony, drove
with the three youngest daughters TO
Bornstedt arranging the drive so as to
return whes all was over. Upon her re-
turn she went to church unattended and
prayed beside the coffin.

The refusal of leading European
powers, including England, Germany,

public will strike Americans as an IN
worthy display of political intolerance
Ii is true that none OF the countries
mentioned are republics, and equally
true that the ruling powers in each are
rot disposed to be partial TO republics.
tt is likewise true that each of the powers
named has some old sores charged against
the French people, but grudges are not
good things to keep. The French Re
public is, at least, present fact. The
other European nations must neighbor
with it on some sort of terms and they
might as well do it gracefully.
NHATEvER disturbances may be the out

into force by Germany along the frontier
of Alsace Lorraine, 1t is quite clear that
France will not be re. ponsibIe for lhsm.
The severity with which travellers of all
nationalities are being treated is as vex-
ing as it is senseless; and the French
government would be quite justified if
they should decide to adopt retaIiatory
measures. The fact that they a.e evi

pressure of public sentiment compels
them to do so, is in every way creditayIo
to their prudence. The report that
Prince Bismarck has deliberately insulbed

there is nothing in the chan cellnr's char

cause for complaint, there might be some
disagreeable question raised by the
diplomatic representatives at Berlin
which the chancellor would find it diff

wish to irritate France, it can hardly be
any part of his purpose to quarrel with
the world in general.

came later. Although he did not take au
active part in the Danish war of 1864, in
1866 he was placed in command of au
army OF 125,000 men assisted by his
chief of staff, aj-Gen. Won Bluuenthal,
the commander conducted his army
through the tortuous passages of the
Sudetic hills, and his opportune arrival
with reinforcem ents decided the memor-
able battle of Sadowa in favor of Prussia.

THE SCANDALOUS PAMPHLET AT ST. LOUIS
In justice to the New York Tribune il
should be said that il denies any respon-
sibIlity for Berry, the author of the
soandalous pamphlet circulated at st.

Berry tho money to go, but it WAS as a
"loan." And further Berry was not i'll
the Tribuno's employ. Tho N. Y. Times
publishes these facts and adds:
We will let this denial and assertion hrvr their

t. add that we are Informed upon perfectly trust

A QUESTION OF DOLLARS AND CENT

QUESTION OF DOLLARS AND CENTS.
If the republicans don't shut down on
their charge that the presidents message
was n free trade document, aud thai the
democrats favor the doctrine, the whole
country will sOoa be in favor of 1T. The
more the millions of ofunprotectedA merican
toilers hear about ii, the less 1t scares them.
Men of intelligence are beginning to see
that those who are protected are becom-
ing miliiouaires at their expense. The
massing of all the wealth OF the country
into a few hands has its causes, and this
protection business is one of the leading
ones. The attempt 70 make nine men
who have nothing, believe that
they are better off because the tenth man
il rich, will not prove success. The
tariff question il one that relates to dol
lars and cents; and sooner or later the
unprotected element are going to figure
up and see how 1T works. When this is
done the question will be settled and it will
not take long to settle 1t. The republi-
cans have got tho hard side of the ques-
tion, and except that they have the pow
erfuI monopOhes with them they could
not maintain their position for day.
spasm of common sense will sometime
shake up this country with such force
that robbers and pirates will be shaken
OGt of their boots.

nANCER0TS.

The immense surplus in the national
treasury resulting from the operation OF
our present tariff laws will prove bad
and dangerous bridge for the republican
party army to pass over. 1t matters not
which party men belong to, they don't
like unnecessary taxation, and no silver
tongued fugleman can make them like it.
The presidents message brought to light
fact that has awakened general in
quiry and investigation. No one
disputes it, or attempts to. The result is
feeling of respect for the man and for
the policy he has marked out toc his
party. Efforts to scratch dirt over this
miserable business at Chicago and hide
it from sight and mind, Will prove una
vailing. If the truth Is ignored at the
convention, it will not be at the election
There are yet many men in this country
who are engaged IN individual business
and enter prises, aud who know that the
unnecessary boarding up of hundred
millions or more of money in the vaults
of the treasury, cripples their
business. Such men will vote rs THAR in
terests require; and there will be enough
of them even should an otherwise salts
factory candidate be nominated, to beat
him. The policy of the republican party
hac been to excite the preiudIces and
blind the eyes of the ignorant with
view to the securing of numbers. But it
will transpire, that there is power in
American intelligence that will teach that
party q lesson, when the time comes.

The lingo Message.

, The Presidents lingo message was the
most vulgar bid he could make for the
Irish vote We had been overmatched
in the treaty making by the accomplished
Mr. Chamberlain, Mr.. Bayard being a
very dull person OF course all the Dem
ocratic Senators voted abjec,y for the
treaty. The Democratic Senators seem

that the President has for them. And
now the Democratic flock Of sheepish
Senators are complaining, and the news
papers that worship Cleveland by the
pound are proclaiming. that the Repub'
lican Senators all voted against Mr..
Chamberlain's treaty, and this was parti.

is when some of the Republican Senators

made as slight mark upon the things of
this world as the track of birch canoe

was gingered up by his adversaries to
prepare powerful paper to be u ed in
the case OF the rejection of the treaty.
The retaliatory message was fixed. and

the air with long Democratic howl that

The Question OF the Hour.

The problem that presents itself to
every third party voter who is prohibit

in the negative centuries ago, and its
answer must eternally he negative. 1t will
not do for voters to belittle the tariff is

to say, Let Us postpone it, for it is as
certain as that the sun rises and sets that
il must be settled now. Shall the friends
of protection stand aloof in the bour that
its fate is 10 be decided? Shall they
waste their energies in casting their votes
so that they will be an aid to free trade?

a greater issue than the tariff, for the
test is not of their absolute Importance,
but of their relative importance at the
present juncture. Is it wise to refrain

cause there is a violent epidemic raging
in the community on the plea that hui
man life is of more value than mere
property? Yet the cases are parallel. 1t
is fact that every honest man must adj
nit that the fixed purpose of the Demo
cratic party is the destruction of the pro-
tective principle, and that its triumph at
the polls this fall will be followed by the
passage not only Of the Mills bill, but by
other far more radical measures in the
direction of free trade. 1t has been de-
clared by the supporters of that measure
that they regard it only as a beginning
Endorsed by ever so small a majority this
fall, they will go steadily forward in the
same direction. Is there a protectionist
of rectitude who will aid their cause by
withholding his vote from the protection

as a political issueg Let us defeat free
trade this fall and then the stage of
action will be clearer for the mighty
effort TO pulverize the rum power.

ing that the Democratic party has shown
itself to be better friend TO the soldier
than the Republican, and 10 proof. state
that President Cleveland has signed more
private pension bills than Grant. Hayes,
Garfield. and Arthur put together Both
ask for information. The question Is
not how many such bills have been signed,
but how many vetoed. The need Of resort
to private bills was greatly increased by
the transfer of the Pension Bureau to the
Demo cracy. The policy Of this admin
istration has been from first 10 last to be
technical in the extreme in dealing with
applications. Hundreds have been denied
justice on the me est technicality, and,
generally. resort has been had in such
cases TO special legislation. Sometimes
the President has signed such bills. and
sometimes he has not. He has vetoed
many times as many as all his Republican
predecessors since the war combined,
often cracking jokes in his clumsy way
at the expense of the poor fellow or desti-
tute widow to whom he was denying the
staff Of life. There are now pending be
fore the House of Representatives over
one hundred and ninety pension bills all
Of which have been referred 10 either the
Invalid Pension Committee. OF which the
Democratic candidate for Governor OF
Indiana, Colonel Matson. is chairman, or
the Committee on Military Affairs, OF
which Mr.. Townshend, of Illinois. is
chairman. In a speech delivered August
I'd, eight months after Congress met,
General Hovey, Republican candidate for
Governor of Indiana, called the attention
of the House to this fact OF course no
progress can be made in that line OF
legislation so long as no time is allowed
to be set apart for its consideration. In
May last the Republican members of the
House. becoming dissatisfied, signed the
following petition to the Committee on
Rules:
Gentlemen: The undersigned mem
hers of the House of Representatives,
feeling the great need Of prompt legis)a-
ton for the relief OF Union veterans and
their dependent ones, respectfully urge
your committee to set apart. at as early
a day rs possible, three or four days for
the consideration Of general pension
legislation.
The petition was CONTEMPORARY
ignored. We know of no parallel to this
legislative outrage. Nearly 200 bills foi
the relief of soldiers and soldiers wild
ows, and yet not one day allowed for
their consideration! What are they afraid
Of? Two things-first. that the debate
incident to their consideration would be
Damaging To the Democratic party. and
second, that some general Legislation
might result which the President would
veto, and thus still further ALLEVIATE the
soldier element of our voting population
