| German forces in war time. AS to tho sup
posed prevalence OF attachment to the house
| of IIoHESZoILERH, they who remember the
events OF forty-two years ago know how
| illusory the assumption is. The kind OF
| loyalty which is based on self-interest does
Internationally exist in the Junker class,
! from which most OF the military officers are
drawn, but witch is the object OF f,-ocious
| hatred on the part OF tho masses Of the Ger
man PEOPLE. There are no doubt traces also
OF hereditary liking for the dynasty
in Brandeuburg and the Duchy Of
Prussia. but the feeling OF Westphalia ana
tho Rhine province for the sovereign Is one
OF indifference, while this Is replaced by
secret hostility in Hanover, Hesse-Cassel,
Nassau, and the other States Incorporated
bv force with Prussia after the war OF 1866
The notion that any liking for the HoHENzoL-
LERNs obtains in Bavaria, Wurtemberg, or
Baden will not be entertained for moment
by any one acquainted with South Germany.
Germans in general feel no gratitude to
the prussian royal house for having brought
about their consolidation and prominence.
They give the credit Of that great achieve
nent to the man who deserves 1t, BISMARCK,
but for whom the HoHENzoLLERNs might
have remained where they were In 1850 for
another century.
There can be but few intelligent and patri-
otic Germans who do not regard as an out
rage on their country the summary relega-
ton OF Prince BISMARCK to private life at
the age OF 70. when he has before him in all
likelihood many years OF energy and use
fitness. History will condemn WILLIAM III.
for q blunder which In statecraIt assumes
the dimensions OF a crime-the blunder OF
deprivinR Germany OF Prime Minister
whose abilities and services outweigh those
OF all the HoHENzoLLERNs put together
with the possible exception OF FREDERICK
the Great, who, 1t is well to recollect, left no
heirs of his body From this point of view
the historian will place the present German
Emperor below LOUIS KILL, who suffered
RICHEL1EU to govern France to his last
hour, and far below LOUIS XIV, who, I'm
patient as he was to rule and conscious OF
his capacity to do 30, would not lift a finger
TO disturb the aged Cardinal MAzAR1N, who
had watched faithfully over the interests OF
the dynasty and OF the country during the
Kings minority. The services Of R1CHELIEU
and MAZAR1N to the BoURBoNs were insR-
niflcant compared to those for which the
HoHENzoLLERNs are indebted to BISMARCK.
When the latter entered upon his official
career Prussia was a parasite OF Austria and
her representative was the butt of the Frank
fort Diet. In every step Of her amazing
elevation to the leadership OF Germany and
the hegemony of Europe the hand of Bis
MARCK may be traced. Common decency
should have prompted the beneficiary OF
such tremendous exploits to leave the reins
OF power in the hands Of his benefactor.
That, on the contrary, he seized the first
pretext for Diminishing the creator of united
Germany and exater of the HoHENzoLLERNs
should and ultimately will make WILLIAM
II. the target of universal scorn.

Wehave seldom heard o silller rrmor than
that which made Prince BISMARCK the re-
Gpient of warning from the German En-
peror to put an end to his newspaper utter
ances. Tho performances Of WILLIAM II
since he has essayed to govern without the
veteran Chancellor's assistance have I'M
doubleday been moro conspicuous for light
headcdness than wisdom. but they do not
Justify the suspicion that he is an idiot. II
would be, however, to carry insolence to the
pitch OF idiocy, to deny to the greatest bene-
factor whom Germany has ever known the
freedom OF speech enjoyed by Ultramontane
and ProRressist politicians and about to be
conceded even to the Socialists through the
lapse OF the laws by which they have hither-
to been muzzled. Tho juvenile ruler has no
power of sitting Prince BIsMARCK's COM
ments on proposed legislation, whether
these are expressed through the public press,
or from his seat in the Prussian House Of
Lords, or from the Relchstag, to which u
hundred constituencies covet the honor Of
returning him.
But although we do not believe that WILL
LIAM H. has so far forgotten himself as to
insult the architect OF tho empire, there are
signs that he misconceives his relation TO
the German people and the relative positions
occupied by himself and BISMARCK In the
eyes OF the fatherland. The young En-
peror has never rendered Germany tho
slightest service; on tho contrary, he has
dealt her an evil stroke by robbing her Of
ono who has placed Germans under i'm
measurable obligations and who has done
moro to make their name illustrlous than
any man since CHARLEMAGNE. AS regards
intellectual calIbre WILLIAM H. Is appar.
entity qualified for the role OF Captain of
cavalry. but even in that capacity he has
done nothing OF mark. 1t istrue that he has
had no opportunities. but there Is no reason
why We should take his ability 10 profit by

he happens to be King Of Prussia and Ger
man Emperor clothe his words with facti-
tious authority that makes them more in
terestng and momentous than the opinions
OF BISMARCK. Even In his hereditary Prus-
sian dominions WILLIAM II. Is trammelled
by a thousand constitutional restrictions.

According to Supervisor MURRAY, the
limited States District Attorney for the
Southern District Of New York will procure
to-day the arrest Of about twenty-five per-
sons in this town for refusing to answer any
of the questions put to them by the census
enumerators, or for assailing the enumerator
with beer mugs or other missiles OF physical
violence.
This is right. People who have been fool
ish enough to slam their house doors In the
faces Of the agents Of the Federal Govern
ment duly authorized to take the constitu-
tional census ought 10 be arrested and fined
under the law. People who have 80 far
forgotten themselves as to insult or NAL
treat the enumerators ought to suffer the
consequences
These are not the citizens who have FOL
lowed the advice of THE sun and answered
promptly and cheerfully all OF the questions
on the population schedule. except those Of
fensiye and unconstitutiona questions which
relate to secrets OF bodily imperfecton and
private debt.
No citizen will be punished for refusing to
answer the questions which theGovernment
had no right to ask. The offensive questions
were practically withdrawn before the CEN
sus began They are dead letters on the
schedule. No attempt has been made or Will
be made to compel anybody to reply to them

Who Shall BE the Boss

We wonder If DR.. WARNER MILLER is so
deeply Interested in the Nicaragua Canal as
to be Indifferent to the big ditch that the
Hon THOMAS COLLIER PLATT liz digging for
him? DIR. MILLER has good many friends
in the Republican party. Are they going to
make Mr.. PLATT the absolute master Of the
New York Republicans Mr.. PLATT is al
ready the Republican machine. II he Is not
fought and put down, he will be the party.
Have DR.. MILLERs friends any sandP If
they have, it is about time to show it, And
there is the Hon. CHAUNCEY MITCHELL DE-
PEW. Has he retired from politics, or has he
been forced out of politics He is big sort
OF man to be walked over by Mr.. PLATT.
The Hon. FRANK HIsCocK doesn't seem to
be in it. And 90 the Big Four are to be
swallowed up In the Big One. How will the
Republican party Of New York relish being
n one-man party? And one-man party soon
becomes one-horse party.

Another Bid for the Two Minute Record

We COPY with great interest despatch
from Nashville published in our esteemed
contemporary the Spirit Of the Times:
AFTER season in the stud ED GErRs brought Brown
Hal out Ewell Farm the other day. and the great
stallion paced quarter In % seconds -Four Watches
were held and GEKRs says he had 1t In him TO nave
gone faster A number OF gentlemen who saw MN
pace the quarter declare that they believe II properly
conditioned, he could pace a mile In 2:ol DO not
know whether THE Sun considers troters and PAGERS
the same but 1t let keep its eye on Tennessee
The impossible 200 is not far OF as IL used to be-
Spring has but Just budded, and yet 1t
brings, we believe, higher speed than was
ever reached in harness before; speed
enough, if it could be kept up, to cover the
milein the almost running time of 80. And
a PAGER shows it,
In the race for the two-minute goal the
PAGER has lead Of q seconds over the
trotter that being the difference between
the records Of Johnston and Maud S. The
PAGER now leads by seconds to the quar-
ter pole alone, the difference between the rates
shown by Maud S. and Sunol, and Brown
Hal. Yet, were it not that from Pocahontas's
day to this the PAGER has always kept ahead
of his rival, we should say that the odds In
this ideal contest were on the trotter. 1t is to
the high quality OF endurance that we must
look mainly for ability to lop off the few
seconds remaining between the record we
have and the record we want. and in this re-
spect the trotter can reckon his chances with
the greater confidence. AS yet there is no
evidence that In him the thoroughbred blood
infused 80 freely during late years has
reached the volume which it cannot ex-
coed without impairing the action indlspen-
sable for speed On the other hand. In the
judgment of some experts, among whom.
for example, Mr.. BRoDHFAD OF Woodlawn Is
conspicuous, the thoroughbred strain has
quite the reverse effect upon the PAGER to
that on the trotter, splitting his laterally
paired legs into the diagonal system and
robbing him of the gait which by all expe-
rience Is the fastest known to harness. Mr..
BRoDHEAD's theory is that the PAGER can
not, like his corner-gaited friend, retain his
style under the stimulant OF racing blood.
and If that be so, in the great struggle In
which both trotter and PAGER now seem to
be nearly on the homestretch, the trotter
will outlast the other, and the race will prob
ably be his, II 1t Is anybody's.
But still, we fear that the nineteenth CEN
fury will close with the race still on.

The trial Of the new unarmored steel
cruiser Philadelphia will be leading naval
event of the present week. Twenty-six off,
GERS have been appointed to duty OF some sort
connected with 1t. Instead OF finding the
horse power OF the engines as In previous
trial trips OF the new war ships. the contract
OF the Philadelphia requires that her speed
shall be taken as the measure OF premium or
OF penalty This is no doubt the element OF
real Importance. but it is one that is much less
easy OF determination with mathematical ac-
curacy. The influences Of tide, current sea,
wind. must be allowed for, whereas the horse
power developed by the engines Is as correctly
ascertained under one set OF conditions as
under another. The Philadelphia is the pio-
neer under the new forms OF contract, which
exact the guarantee Of speed.
When she has passed her test this fine vessel
OF 1921 tons displacement will be promptly
made ready for service as a flagship Possibly
she may head another squadron OF evolution
for European waters. which could take in the
Concord the bennington. and the Dolphin.
or perhaps In place of the latter the Petrol,
which could then proceed by the Suez Canal to
her Asiatic station.

What therefore, Is now aimed at In tho pro-

transfer Of this unused power to q Commits
sion or persopal agency which would at
once he in n position practically to admins
far the railroads. regulate their charges and
functions. and. in fact deal with them as
arbitrarily as IL the Commission owned them.
We are informed that public sentiment in
Texas IA decidedly hostile to this movement.
The business men OF the State are exceed
inglv shrcwd. energetic, aud enterprising
and thew have for long time been keenly
alive to tho danger that has threatened the
general welfare OF the State from legislation
n; this character. They have had before
them the examples OF Iowa, Georgia. and
Kansas. in which tho paternal regulation OF
the railroads has proved SO disastrous to the
material interests of the State and they
are not likely to repeat so costly an error
It is, therefore, not strange that the most
thoughtful citizens OF Texas are against the
proposed amendment.
Asa matter OF fact, while the principle In
yulved is in the abstract un-American and
undemocratc, we doubt If, In the present
condition OF the State OF Texas a more detrl-
mental piece Of legislation could be devised.
The State is entering upon period OF deve-
opment which promises To reach proportions
the like OF which have never been known.
Her growth Is to be In proportion TO her
size, and the conditions OF 1t are OF uneXam-
pied soldity and permanerce. just as
essential to this movement as air Is

railroads as without water There is no in
