1t has been observed by a philosophic
historian that the most dangerous revolts
against social order have occurred in
times of comparative prosperity. When
there is real distress practical measures
OF remedy are vigorously applied and the
fantastic schemes of the regenerators of
the world are dismissed with contempt.
But in periods of comparative comfort
and prosperity men have time and incli-
nation to listen with favor to the exag-
gerated descant of demagogues upon the
evils which they suffer, and to give con-
sent to the widest governmental plans
for ameliorating their condition. 1t is
probably vague knowledge of this social
phase that inspired the platform makers
of the new party at st. Louis to cry fran
tically that the nation is ''on the verge
of moral, political and material revolu-
ton" that corruption touches even the
ermine of the BENCH" that 1.-The PEG
pie are demoralized. and, in short, that
the world is threatened with ter rible
social commissions, the destruction of
civilization or the establishment of an
absolute despotism

A GERMAN REVOLUTION.

Emperor William IS having hard
time of it. The German people can put
I'D with his garrulity, as a rule, but
when he intimates that if the country
doesn't suit them they can emigrate, he
is striking perilously near the German
! heart.
The German heart that outpoUrs its
as its name for its country ''Fatherland
discovers and everlasting love for the
hills and valleys of native land.
The average American citizen is
watching the Berlin riots with little
less than morbid interest. The average
American citizen has smooth bore, six
teen repeating contempt for all aristo-
cracy and formidable hatred for
monarchies, limited or absolute. If the
truth were known, and it is, for he is
outspoken, the American citizen would
like to see young William blown high
sky, his palaces RACED and bowling
republican on the PROSTATE form OF
every duke and duchess.

But Ii is really to be devoutly hoped
that these present riots are only the wild
orgies of the slums, AID that Germany is
not on the eve of revolution. Revolu-
ton is a horrible thing. 1t is blood,

but of the masses as we'll; it is disorder;
civil jeopardy; commercial ruin; ma
tional dissolution. 1t would mean years
of agony and torture and weltering I'M
rest for Germany.
Germany, or any of its citizens, does
not want revolution.
As it now seems, republican rule will
eventually prevail the world over and
Germany will some day have a president
instead OF king. When that condition
is ripe, the change can take place with
out bloodshed. Brazil has proved that.

The Thoughtless Woman.


It is common thing to excuse careless
ness lightly, as matter of no great mo
ment. Il did not think seems to be 3
reason in the minds Of many women for in
ficti II an almost endless amount of IN
convenience on others The number Of
thoughtless people in the world is exceed
ingly large. They were accustomed 70 be
excused as children on the specious plea Of
thoughtlessness. and finally came 10 cen
slider themselves privileged persons to com
mitwhatever ravages they pleased among
the goods and chattels of their friends. AS
they grew older, schooled as they were in
infancy to remember no one but them
selves, the same plea Of thoughtlessneSs
was given for all their acts.
The thOughtless woman is probably more
often considered lenien:ly than her mascu-
line prototype, yet she is the most uncom-
Portable person of the two. One naturally
expects womanly nature TO be orderly,
and the tho1ghtless woman is the reverse
of all this. She never knows where her
things are, her property seems to have
wings and she is compelled to depend
on her more thrifty sisters and Is of neCes-
sity a continual borrower She can never
find things she needs when she wants
them. and keeps her whole household in
confusion with her search for lost port
monnaies, satchels, bonnets and what not.
She is late for her engagements or wholly
forgets them and scatters general discom-
fort everywhere.
Nowhere is she a more abject and hope
less failure than as a wife and mother.
when the responsibility of home is thrust
uDop her From her earliest childhood she
has thought Of no one but herself, and even
if she would it IS impossible for her to
change her nature 50 that she will become
a capable helpmate and Clother. New

The news from Germany seems to in
poor classes in the populous localities and
districts almost if not quite equal to that
in the famine-stricken provinces of Rus
STA. There has been no report of an I'M
usual shortage of provisions, but the alb
sence of employment for large numbers
of laboring people in the winter season
is equivalent to a famine to them and
occasions equal distress to them. Just
now would be most suspicious time
for the emperor to go to war if he could
find some plausible excuse for it. That
would give employment to the idle and
hush the mutterings of discomfort among
the peasantry.

his company proposes to continue bust

expires, when they will not seek home
anywhere. The state election now
pending will have taken place long be-

The Wichita Eagle gives it out cold
and clammy that Guy De Maupassant is
the best writer of novelties in the
world. If this information is official
and final, it is really important. But
before it is spread upon the secretary's
book, it would be well for the EAGLE to
rise and give the members its authority
for the statement. Wichita criticism is
often more enthusiastic than discrimi-
mating.
