AN OFFICIAL RETROSPECT.
Prince Bismarck was born ct Schon-
hansen, April LIST, 1915, and Is therefore,
Just closing his 18th year. He was made
minister of foreign affairs and of the
KINGS house in Prussia in September,
1862. From that time until the death of
the Emperor William /. he practically
swaSed the government of all Germany,
aud dictated the general policy of the
great powers. In 1859 he was foreign
minister OF the North German Confeder-
alton, having succeeded to that point in
the great dream Of his lfe--the unitica-
tion OF Germany.
Two years later, on January 18th, 1871,
he witnessed the complete accomplish
msut OF his vast political design at Yer
saiilei. There, in the palace of the
French kings, he took port in the SYM
holism which proclaimed Germany an
empire, the Rrandest historical picture Of
modern times, the corona ion Of William
l., emperor of Germany. In that same
month Of January he was appointed by
his imperial master chancellor OF the
empire, the Office which he has now re-
signed after holding It ID years.
Created count in 1865, he was now
raised to the rank Of prince. As chan
cellcr he sugered tho Roman Catholic
party by his aggressive acts with regard
to the freedom of the church, resulting
IN the expulsion OF the Jesuils and tho
imprisonment of q number OF Roman
Catholic bishops. Prince Bismarck pre-
sided over the famous congress OF Berlin
whichreeulted in tdetreaty Of San Stetano.
Since that period he has devoted his
efforts toward the foundation of Ger
man colonial empire, to placating the
Roman Catholicism which he succeeded
for a time, so faras Prussia was concerned
and TO strengthening the AnsLro-Gsr-
man alliance.

out Of the pockets OF the people all the

ton Of 10000, GOO per month above the

that 1t is the surplus Itself and not the

From the report Of the Board OF Edu-
cation for the year ending June 3Oth,
1858, We ind that the cost Of running
the five colorei schools OF Wilmington
was 39537 80. OF this sum the State
contributed S412 so, and there is an
entry Of received from county treasurer
balance negro school tax, $65S.2S." II
there was any more from this latter
source We fail to discover it. SO that it
would appear the white taxpayers Of
Wilmington contributed, during the
last school year over IS 900 of the cost
OF keeping mp these five colored schools
We have stated this substantially before
but we reproduce these figures chiefly
for the information OF those who are
tempted By suoL utterauces as were made
BY speakers at the Ezion church, last
night, to say: "If the negroes are not
satisfied with the present System, why
not 1T them take these schools and keep
them up and run them to suit them
seivea2 2" Such people will see at q
glance that the amount received from the
State and from the colored school tax last
year would not keep these five schools
going for two months.
So much for the financial part. Now
az to the fuss that these malcontents of
the Exon meeting are kicking up over
