THE EMpERoR's COMPLAINT.

The fierce young emperor of the Ger =
mans will probably find that neither
laws nor imperial edicts will avail to
keep at home the restless throng of
ambitious men of whose expatriation
he so bitterly complains. The rewards
of earnestness. character and ability are
greater and quicker in America than in
the countries of the old world, and it
speaks we'll for the intelligence
Oh the kaiser's su bjects that they
understand that this is true. The
Germans do not love their father
land the less because they leave it, but
the sure promise of progress and in
creased prosperity is an irresistible at
traction to the best of them. If there
were no assisted emigration, we should
not need to patrol our coasts with gov
eminent officials lest the lawless and
incapable should effect an entrance into
our borders. The people who have the
courage to turn their backs on the
scenes of their childhood and to GO GU
and dwell among strangers are of the
stuff from which good citizens are made
Such do not despise sentiment or the
claims of patriotism, but they recognize
a higher duty than loyalty to king.
That is the duty of self-development.
Every man owes it to the world to make
the most of the powers God has given
him for the good of himself and his fell
lows; and if in one place his sphere is
artlficially limited, or his aspirations
held in check by barriers of caste and
convention. as he is brave and strong,
he will break away from his thralldom
at any cost, and plant himself where his
work will count in humanity's advance
ment. If the emperor misses his yeo-
men, and will not be comforted in their
absence, let him follow their example,
and come to America also. He will find
a hearty welcome, and room for the
exercise of his great powers. What a
wonderful career he might have if he
should go into railroading, or undertake
the manipulation of real estate boom
in Western town.

MRS. BLAINE,s VICTORY.

Yesterday was great day for Mrs.
JAMES &. BLAINE Jr. She got her di-
vorce, the custody of her baby, a good
round judgment for alimony and the
satisfaction of vindication and VIC
tory. This is long list of pleasant
things, and their attainment is compen-
Sation enough for winter spent in
South Dakota and 4O0-mile journey in
February across the prairies TO the
Black Hills. 1t would be more crafty
ing. perhaps, were the alimony immedi-
ately cOllectible; but even a worthless
Judgment is better than nothing, and it
may be that after while it will in
crease in value. The defendants veneer
able father was not always rich, and the
younger generation may, bye and bye,
develop the same capacity for casting
an anchor to windward which has made
their progenitor's career so profitable
and exciting. Or chance may have it
that the defendant himself will have oc-
casion one of these days to invoke the
aid of Dakota court to escape from his
next matrimonial ENHANCEMENT; and, if
he does, nothing but hard cash will Sc
cure him hearing and a release from
the contempt he will be in for disobev-
ing Its DEGREES. All things come to
those who wait. and, although it may be
rather sad service to submit to the in
definite postponement of this part of
her triumph, even here Mrs. BLAINE
need not be without hope.

CHEAPER WOOLENS.

When the cry of cheap clothing and
low-priced blankets is raised on the
Democratic side of the house the West

Louis Republic.
This bill is by far the most important
of those that the committee has had
under consideration, as it would relieve
consumers of a burden of at least $780,
100000 year. Compared with this the
saving of 100000 a year to consumers
of binding twine is mere trifie.-Chi-

form than the Mills bill introduced be-
fore the Republican party declared for
prohibitlve tariff.-St. Louis Republic.
The bill is all right for the purpose of
bringing the tariff question close home
to the farmer. but it may at the same
time be made to bring the subject home
to other consumers, as we'll as to the

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.

February as rule is dull month in
business circles. The present month
has beer no exception to this rule, but
the only reason that it has caused some
disappointment is the fact that better
things were expected on account of the
great crops and the easy condition of
the money market. The past week was
distinguished by speculative squirt in
wheat and stocks which proved to be
bad for business. The price of wheat
was forced up five cents per bushel,
with visible supply of wheat and
flour in course of shipment to Europe
and in the United States and Canada so
per cent larger than at the same time
year ago.
With the exception of the South, trade
is fair. and even in the cotton belt there
are signs of Improvement. The move
ment to force the price of cotton up
ward. behind which JOHN III. lNMAN
was said to be, has not yet cut much
figure; but it would not be at all sur
prlslng ii that enterprising speculator
should inaugurate the movement in the
near future. A rise in the price of cot

A RIGID SYSTEM.

Under the later dIspensation down in
Mississippi they have elections only
once in four years, and probably the
legislature does not meet oftener. Per-
haps the infrequency of legislation ha S
something to do with its character.
Among the most recent acts passed is
one nearly as restrictive on bibulo us
practices as the Iowa statute, and the
most advanced measure in regard to
tobacco and cigarettes that has been OBJ
served in any quarter. 1t prohibits,
under 500 pen atty or Imprisonment
from one to three months, the selling,
bartering or giving away to any person
under eighteen years of age of cigar
cites, smoking or chewing tobacco, or
snuff, without written order from
the parent or guardian. If the
young men have the ways of their fell
lows in this part Of the country, the en-
fOrcement of such a law must cut off a
great deal of traffic. But the act goes
still further, and prescribes the same
penalties for any person, without regard
to age, who shall smoke cigarette, or
tobacco, or other substance rolled in
paper, on any public street or highway,
or any church or theater or public hall,
hotel, court house or any other public
building" or in many other local. ties

SPECIAL DELIVERY SYSTEM.

The latest suggestion for reform con-
Germs the special delivery postal system.
The postmaster at Chicago says that the
big blue stamp is not effective for the
purpose for which it was invented. A
thousand letters may at one time be
heaped together awaiting distribution.
and it will be only after careful search
and long delay that the ones marked
for quick dispatch are uncovered by the
clerks and started on their way. He
suggests that instead of the stamp the
government manufacture and sell for
the same price an envelope of some I'M
usual and conspicuous color. When a
letter appears thus enclosed the sorters
will at once discover it, no matter
among how many others it may be hid
den, and rescue it from the mass before
they do anything else. This seems like
a good idea. The special delivery de-
partment OF the service has already
added a great deal to the convenience
of the public, to say nothing of the saw
Ing 1t has made possible in the item of
messenger charges. If there were half
hour collections from all the boxes with
in the radius of a mile from the post
Office. and the devices to secure speed
and reliability were so complete that
the chances Of miscarriage were reduced
to minimum, the system would be-
come still more popular and be more
generally patronized. The Chicago
postmaster's plan might help to these
ends if it were adopted.

THE TROLLEY SYSTEM

There is no immediate prospect that
the trolley system for electric street
cars will give place to anything better,
but there are Improvements being made
in the operation that relieve some Of
the objections most urged. The wires
and their supports are unsightly and in
the way of the fire department at fires,
and there is no way to obviate these
difficulties while they are used. But
late devices remove the danger from
connection with broken wires of the
telephone or telegraph, and do away
with the trolley noise. Important
changes in the driving gear also relieve
all difficulty with snow or ice on the
track. Recent experiments in Boston
gave entire satisfaction in these re-
spects. Chicago is trying the electric
system in the suburbs, and Will no
doubt gradually extend it to most parts
of the city. The indications are that
this will be the case with most of the
larger cities,

Encouraging a Delusion.

chicago Herald.
The arguments against the Hatch and
Washburn bills which have been made
before the committees of the house and
the senate have amounted to a demon
stratiOn. They can leave no doubt in
the mind of any unprediudiced and
intelligent man that such legislation as
these bills propose would infict enor-
nous evils upon the country, and would
lnjure no class so much as the one it is
OStensibly designed to benefit.
AS Mr.. Hamiil showed conclusively
in his address before the senate sub
committee, it would drive an immense
amount of capital out of the business of
carrying produce, and in that way force
farmers to sell at ruinously low prices
after every harvest, and inflict untold
injury upon the poorest Of the farmers
those who must needs sell as soon as
they have secured their crops. These
men would suffer most. Capitalists, in
Guiding all legitimate dealers in prod
uce, would suffer less, though severely.
The only men who would gain anything
mould be the miller and the malster.
