A ROYAL Tiff.

BERLm, November 22.-The members OF
the diplomatic circle credit tha' the differ
ence between Emperor William and the king
of Saxony arose over the emperor proposing
to prosecute Prince Bismarck, whose --latest
revelations as to how he precipitated war
with France by classifying the famous Ems
dispatch, are felt in Official quarters to jus
tify any measure that may be adopted to
silence him. The king of Saxony, it is said,
not only opposed Prince Bismarck's prose-
cution, but urged the emperor to make the
first advance toward reconciliation with Bis
marck. Whatever occurred, it is a fact that
after private conference between the two
monarchs the king of Saxuny cut short his
visit, made brief call on the chancellor and
quilted Berlin without the court official do
ing the usual honor of accompanying him
to the railway station. The emperor en-
tirely ignored his departure.

When I consider all we have to do as q
party charged with the control of the gov
eminent feel that our campaign instead of
being concluded is just begun. What shall
our performance be for the contract we have
made with our countrymen and how well
shall we justify the trust they imposed on
US? If we see nothing in our victory but
license to revel in partisan spoils. we shall
be derided at every point. If we merely
profess to enter upon our work, and if We
make apparent endeavor to do it, cover for
discharge our duty to the people without
complete harmony in patriotic action, we
shall demonstrate our incompetency.

Too Level Headed

KANSAS CRY, No., November 1s.-Before
leaving Senator Vest said in an interview
that the democrats would proceed cautious
" in reforming the tariff, and would not
smash the Mckinley bill as blacksmith
WOULD destroy a watch. Free trade, pure and
simple, he said, was impossible. for the only
proper way to raise money to carry on tho
government was by customs tariff. The tar

eervative lines in such. a manner as to lessen
the cost of living to the common people.
The senator ridiculed the idea of an extra
session of congress to deal with the tariff.

ences between the telegraph operators on
the New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, and
the company have been settled. Sometime

Ocean Mail Subsidies,

WASHINGTON. D. c., November ia grave
question which the Fifty-t third congress must
meet at the outset is that of reducing the ex-
penditures in order to avoid deficit. It
has been said q big reduction can be made
by cutting off subsidies granted by the pres
ent administration to mail steamship lines
An investigation shows that this cannot be
done, for the government has specific, long
time contracts with the subsidized steamship
lines, which can be entered in court.

at work on them as soon as it comes togeth-
Or.
The exceedingly heavy payments made BY
the treasury in the first quarter of the pres
ent fiscal year, caused some dismay among
The members of the appropriations commit
tee. For the first four months of the year
these payments exceeded by SIG, 100000. the
expenditures for the corresponding period
in the preceding fiscal year. which means a
total increase for the present year of 49,
100000, while the appropriations for the
year are only s12, OOO, 900 greater than the ap-
preparations for the last year. In plain
English that means (if the estimates of the
committee hold good the deficiency on &C
count of the pensions of $36, OcO, 900, which
will have to be met by congress at the next
session, in addition to tho appropriation for
the pensions for the next fiscal year of not
less than $l5O, 00O, 900. So, the total appro-
priations that congress must make for PEN
sions at the next session will aggregate not
less than $1sO, 100000.
With this enormous sum, added to the 9th
er appropriations necessary to carry on tho
government and the decreased importations
and consequently receipts for the ensuing
year, it will be seen that the appropriations
committee has good reason for dlsmay at
the outlook and to doubt their ability to pre-
vent deficiency in the national accounts.
