CHAOS ~ GERMANY.

The dissolution of the German Reichstag is
the signal for an electoral canvass from which
all factions except the Social Democrats will
naturally rccol. The most powerful group. the
Centre will enter upon the contest with a lead
crshp in commission, and without hope of i'm
proving the position gained by it under that
rigorous and successful disciplinarian, Herr
WindthOrst. 1t is not prepared for the cleo
TONS since something closely resembling fac
tional division has opened in its once unbroken
ranks. The Conservatives will probably retain
their seats, but they cannot reasonably hope to
reinforce their numbers in the new Reichstag.
The minor groups, such as the Alsatians, Poles,
Guclphs and Independents, will have nothing
to lose or to gain from the general election, but
the once powerful Liberal party, hopeessly
divided already, will inevitably be wrecked in
this new contest Both the Radicals and the
National Liberals will be certain to lose seats.
and the Social Democrats will gain heavily at
their expense Berlin and other urban centres
are already Socialist strongholds, and it is prob
able that this group will be the only one TO
enter upon the canvass with enthusiasm in the
hope of increasing largely its voting strength
in the new Reichstag.

compromises, for which deserters from the Rad
ioal group and the Centre would have voted

The curtain has fallen upon the last act Of
the murder case Of Carlyle Harris. The pub
LEGATION of the statement to which he devoted
his closing hours will be an cploguc to the final
scene but its motive can readily be anticipated
from his protestations Of innocence in the death
chamber. Confession there WIS none, whether
or not he had one 10 make. Without excite
ment, and almost as cooy aS he would have
declined or accepted cigarette, he stated that
he had no longer any motive 10 deceive any
one, and that he died an innocent man. I'm
the next moment without trcmor Of nervous
ness he met his fate with ntrcpidity and per
feet self-control. The public which has been
witnessing the trial and prison scenes is aware
that the curtain has fallen, but it remains
ba1cd by the inscrutlblc mystery of such Il
character and such an ending
When there is leisure for second thought the
absence of confession will not be accounted by
rejecting minds as significant either in one way
or the other. I'm past generations IA murderer
was expected to confess his crime at the last
moment, and if he failed to do so, people shook
their heads and feared that an innocent man
had been put to DEATH Civilization has pro-
duced new types of criminals without any trace
of religious feeling or even Il supcrsttious dread
of the hereafter. Carlyle Harris with all his
remarkable powers of scf-control and original
intelligence had not shown any signs of re-
ligious sentiment, and since that was so. a CON
fesSiOn of guilt ought not to have been OK
pected. Perhaps the closest approach to re-
ligiOn in the man was his gratitude 10 his
mother, whose labors and sacrifices on his be-
half have hcpu uncca sinr and have comma ndod
public sympathy. There was at least one thing
with denial of guilt which would solacc her
remaining days. Those who have firmly be-
lieved him to be guilty will not be disposed to
deny that there was enough that was good in
