Won STEIN are offered for sale BY the lady's
grandson. at the modest price OF So. 500! The
Grand Duchess Of SAKE Weimar would like
to buy them. and add them to the other treas

she cannot afford the money. and they will
probably DO secured by tho Royal Library Of
Berlin. Tho period during which they were
written extends from l776 to 1926. but the
most interesting OF them date between 1875
and 1885. whom GOETHE was ardsntly in love

Tho War in Chill.

Tho most interesting contribution which
tho civil conflict In Chill has thus far made
to the art Of war Is it, practical demonstra-
ton Of the destructive power OF automobile
torpedoes, az shown in tho blowing up Of the
armorclad Blanco EncaladA. But now there
is prospect that this conflict viii practically
illustrate another important feature In mod
ern naval warfare, that Of tho use Of rapid.
fire guns.
As these latter. especially in the larger
calibres are Of very recent introduction. they
naturally have yet to DO tested In actual
fighting The Presidents Errszurlz. now
on her way from Lisbon to Valparaiso. and
her sister ship, the Presidente Pinto which
will soon follow, have batteries consisting
entirely Of rspid-flre guns. Each carries two
4.7-inch guns and four 2t-inch. While they
are likely to DO opposed by insurgent cruis-
ers armed with ordnance Of much larger
calibre, yet the rapid-fire system, combined
with the very high speed OF these vessels,
nineteen knots, must mako them very ef-
fective. considering that they have only
1850 tons displacement enabling them to
cope with vessels Of much greater size and
weight OF battery. When the Piemonte was
built 1t was said OF her that, though COM
paratively small craft and armed With guns
OF not more than medium calibre, yet, since
these were Of the rapid-ire pattern. she
could in a given time throw an aggregate
weight OF shot greater than that OF the most
gigantic armorclad atioat.
II, therefore, the Errazuriz and the Pinto
arrive in time to take part in the Gillian
hostilities, they may teach a valuable lesson
AZ to the newest developm ent in the arma-
ment OF war vessels.

It has recently been suggested with
great seriousness BY respon siblo minister
OF tho Gospel. that II only moro women
were licensed TO preach the congrega-
tions would be greatly increased. Ono
might venture to surmise that tho Increase
In tho congregation would depend very
much upon the young woman preacher.
Every one knows what an all.attractivs mag
not a handsome young clergyman 10 to the un-
married damsels OF country parish. 1t
would not oe extraordinary 1t a beautiful girl
In tho pulpit should prove similarly mag ,etic.
II is. unfortunately. not always tho nctress or
the dancer 80 much as the delightful woman
who attracts men to tho theatre. and
perhaps 1t may DO not 30 much the
preacher as the demure YOUNG girl or sedate
widow who might draw fervid CONGREGATIONS
to the church. The prspondsrance OF feminine
worshipIers may POSSIBLY DO accounted for
by tho exclusive occupancy OF the pulpits bv
mon. moro equal distribution Of the sexes
in the pcws might concei-ably be effected by
an sdrolt alteration Of men and women In
the pulpit. But will tho men be drawn solely
by the spirit OF religion. or will tho end alto

pension system, maintained at An enormous
and an Increasing cost, for veterans suffering
from any disability. In tho matter Of pen.
eions the country has been not only liberal
but reckless. 1t Is hardly just to other citi-
zeps to give to the soldiers the preference in
tho matter Of appointments to public ONCE.
Under tho influence and through the fear Of
tho so-called soldier vote. 1t has como to
pass that many soldiers holding civil Office
have come to regard themselves as ire
movable; and II any offlcial presumes to re-
move any OF them, there Is great hue and
cry. In some cases. doubtless, the fear Of
the G. A. r. deters high officials from re-
moving unsatisfactory officeholders under
them who happen to have been in the civil
war This Ia unjust to the Government, which
is forced to keep inferior men In the service.
unjust to all persons who are not soldiers,
and unjust to the soldiers themselves, who
are thus made to stand In selfish light he.
fore their fellow citizens.
It may be urged that the number OF col
dlers Ia decreasing, and that In few years
there will be no cause for complaint against
them; but in n country In which the princi-
pie OF equal rights and equal privileges OBJ
tains, there should be no room for the recog-
milton, on large scale or small, OF special
privilege or right residing In any class Of clti-
zcns. Tho privilege that Is asserted on be-
half OF tho old soldiers may be asserted in
behalf OF their children, and 80 the begin
ming Of An hereditary ofIiceholding class
may come. We do not pretend that any
serious danger from this source threatens
tho country at present. but the principle is
indefensible and dangerous. The obligation
OF the country to the soldiers has been faith
fully and literally discharged, and will be-.
There IL another obligation resting upon tho
Government. It is not to create privileged
class Of any description.

On tho Make.

Mr.. PETER TRoUTMAN Of Victor, Kansas,
hns written q letter which the followers OF
SIMPSON the Sockless, and PEPPER the
COllarlese, ought to have printed at the ex-
pense Of the Alliance. These fne-lipped
heralds Of prosperity to be secured by act OF
Congress, are rambling through the country
In the attempt to persuadeit that 1t has gone
to the devil. According to them, Kansas
In particular is Impoverished. piled high
with mortgages which it Is unable to pay,
and hopelessly bankrupt unless the Gov
ernm'nt helps It, According to Mr.. TROUT
MAN. and there are plenty Of Kansas OBJ
servers who agree with him. the State Is rich
In live stock, has immense crops, and is
doing we'll. The Alliances. +" says Mr.. Trout
NAN, have done Kansas moro harm than
drought. grasshoppers and oil the draw
backs combined" This Is view which
tho members Of the Kansas Alliance will
come to agree with in time.
Meanwhile, before PETER and SIMPSON
make any more speeches about the sufferlngs
OF tho SONS OF toll who follow the plough, and
the beauties Of the Alliance schemes for maxi
ingthe farmers rich, they should give serious
consideration to Mr.. TRoUTMAN's assertion
that the Kansas Alliance pays its President
S2,6C0 year, its State lecturer $1,000, and
all its speakers comfortable salaries PEI
FER and SIMPSON are receiving 5000 Q year
ns II result Of their preachings OF calamity.
Is 1t not natural that they should wish tile
calamity TO continue us long as possible b?
ls 1t not to their interest and to the interest
Of every saiaried agent OF the Alliance to
represent in the darkest colors the condition
OF farming and the hardships OF the farmer
1t Is easy to understand how the Alliance
Is boon and blessing 10 the mon to whom
It is giving fat income. but how can the
.downtroddcn and pOverty-pinched farmers
Of Kansas afford to pny for tho services OF
the preachers OF calamity? 1t is true that
the United States pays PETER and SIMP-
Son. and "" hope rather than believe that 1t
will get it's moneys worth out OF them; but
how are they able to roam about the coun-
try or to rest at Washington? Are they not
wcll paid by the Alliance II they are not,
there are plenty Of Alliance speakers who are.
II the Kansas farmers arc as poor as they
are sald to bc by tho persons who are maxi
Ing living out OF them. they ought rot to
have their burdens increased by the Alliance
paid 0flcchoiders. II they are not as poor,
the Alliance ofilceholders are humbugs, and
ought not to be paid at all. The Alliance
ought to look into this matter: and it might
slsD investigate the rela tions OF some influ-
entail Alliance men with tho Alliance Wheat
Trust, AMI other speculations. There Is q
belief shared by many Of the honest leaders
of the Alliance that some conspicuous and
lond-Inouthed persons In 1t are on the make.
