NOT TO BIsMARCK,s CREDIT.

The immense difference it makes whose
foot is pinched is strikingly illustrated by
the latest utterances of Prince Bismarck.
The old Chancellor, who has been using
the freest criticism of the present Emperor
and his Cabinet and their proceedings, in
his interview in the London Times tells
how he induced the old King William to
resolve to put down the Prussian parlia-
ment and govern without a Constitution
if necessary to maintain favorite meas
ure. That policy is departed from in
Bismarck thinks that his anecdote of the
old readiness to usurp legislative power
rebounds to the discredit of the present
Government.
1t would be strange in the light of SUBJ
sequent history if it did not rebound
great deal more to the discredit of Bis
marck. The old Chancellor has been in
dulging in acclamations before the whole
world because at the caprice of the pres
ent Emperor he was showed out of Office.
But who was responsible for the creation
of system in which the whim or personal
vanity of the monarch can discard wisdom
and experience from the councils of the
State? The fact that Bismarck can refer
with pride to his own work in establishing
absolutism while protesting against its
results in thesucceeding reign proves that,
whatever astuteness in European politics
he may have displayed, he is certainly
unable to put together the cause and effect
as displayed in the difference in absolutism
and constitutional government.
1t may be very blameworthy for the
young Emperor to consent to the new
military bill; but Bismarck hardly makes
a favorable comparison by telling how he
and Won Roem persuaded the old Emperor
to usurp legislative power to establish the
system they wished.

Of his political power should also have
been able to resist the lesser temptation to
spend more than his income to satisfy the
meretricious requirements Of society. A
tithe of his income invested in life assur-
ance would have left a comfortable pro-
vision behind him. The frugality and
foresight necessary to make such pro-
vision is personal duty Of every man.
All honor to Mr.. Randall for the ex-
ceptional purity of his public life. But
while according his memory that honor
with free recognition of its superiority
to some other records we should not for
get the personal obligation of every man
in receipt of an assured income to live
within his means and to provide for the
future.

AN UNCHkNGEABLE FASHION.

The tall hat has been made the subject
Of ridicule in an article by Sir Herbert
Maxwell in BIackaoood's Magazine. There
is nothing new in this fact The tall hat
has been made the subject of ridicule for
generations; but it remains with us for
sign that the masculine half of humanity
has just the same submissiveness to
senseless fashion as the feminine half.
Indeed, as sign of the enlargement of
humanity to fashion the stove-pipe as we
know it in America, or the chimney pot
as it is known in England, discounts any
of the follies of feminine dress. Women's
fashions change. There does not seem to
be any perception of their unreason in the
abandonment of crinoline for clinging
skirts, or the shift from the Gainsborough
expansiveness to the minute headgear.
But at least feminine fashions have the
virtue of variety, while the uncomfortable,
ungainly and unattractive stove-pipe hat
has remained with insensible variations
from the early part of the century. Fe-
male fashions also generally have some
purpose Of grace or beauty in their ex-
traysgance, while the masculine headgear
that is imposed by the rule of fashion,
like the law of the Medes and Persians,
has neither beauty, usefulness or conven-
tions, and stands only as an inky monu-
ment of the senSelessness of fashion.
Yet all this has been said at intervals
for two generations without destroying
either the complacency or the supremacy
of our sable incubus The tall black cyl
inder seems likely to endure for genera
tions to come as it has done for genera
tions past as sign that masculine fashion
has no more of either sense or reason than
the fashions of the more attractive sex.

lature outside the city. He states that he

In the search for notorious lawbreaker,
q Louisiana Sheriff is said to have $50 armed
men "under his control" How much the
control" amounts to may be estimated by
the general expectation that the alleged
villain and his gang will be lynched, if
caught. A State which depends on lynch
law to suppress crime goes the right way to
secure the minimum amount of security for
the life and pI operty of its citizens. Law
lessness in dealing with criminals is pro-
life breeder of criminality.
