The kaiser's History Lesso

The German Kaiser has not a few
touches of the German professor in his
character. His three longspeeches on
the schooling of the people show that,
like our James I, he regards the Kings
! throne as kind of supreme academ-
lcal chair. There is, apparently, no
subject OF political or social import
ance upon which he is not prepared to
give lecture; and it must be owned
that he is very apt to be ready in his
production Of historical parallels. At
his lecture during the festival in honor
OF the Great Elector, the Imperial pro-
lessor of history, struck an ingenious
side-thrust at Prince Bismarck. '"The
great statesman who had served his
(the Great Elector's) father" said
the Kaiser, chad worked for his own
ends; hence theyoungruler was obliged,
when he came into power, to strike
out in new way for himself, and do
so alone"
This Bismarck of Brandenburg, in
the seventeenth century, was evidently
Count Adam Won Schwarzenberg, who
ruled the State with autocratic sway
during the reign of the Elector &c orge
Wilhelm, from 1907 to l64l. He
was the mortal foe of Gustavus
Adolphus, the victorious champion of
German Professionalism. The great
Swedish King once said to him: This
black fellow is bringingno end of misery
upon his masters. The Brandenburgh-
ers ought to throw the Count out of
the window, or cut his head Off" To
get rid of the despotic Adam Won
Schwarzenberg was the very first care
Of the Great Elector, the youthful
Friedrich Wilhelm. But the self-con-
scious parallel of the Imperial pro-
lessor was curiously unjust. For the
greedy politician who was Mayor of
the palace under the Great Electors
predecessor had degraded Prussia. and
was pursued by the yells of the women
and children when he drove through
the streets of Berlin, whereas Bismarck
exalted Prussia to a splendor which
the Great Elector never expected for
her, and was idolized by the folk in
the Berlin streets.-Pall Mall Gazette.
