Nationalism is but another name for
socialism, with but slight modifca-
tlon. What socialism desires to reach
in a universal way for the whole world
nationalism desires to obtain within the
limits of the nation. Inasmuch as there
is tendency in the human race to crys-
tallize around national centers national
ism thinks it best to respect these bound.
aries. Ultimately nationalism would
have to reach out after the universal
end.
Let it be understood, furthermore, that
neither nationalism nor socialism is iden.
tical with anarchism or communism
that, quite to the contrary, they form
the opposite pole to anarchism. While
anarchism is a theory of government
which will allow no power whatsoever
to any governing body, socialism or ma
tionalism will endow the government
with greater powers yet than its own.
While the former believes that the indi-
vidual shall take upon himself all the
consequences which spring from compe-

the struggle for existence or survive as

as the member fulfills his obligation to

form tall lady, evidently young, but
whose face was hidden by the heavy
folds OF long Grape veil. Her gown
and gloves were Of the same somber hue
as the veil. She was followed by little
girl, also dressed in black. AS the car
started on its way down town the lady
and the little girl took seats in the cor
ner. Neither spoke for some time, and
then the little girl looked up, and in
voice that was heard above the rattle of
the car exclaimed:

hand reached over and took one Of the
tiny hands Of the child. Then there was
silence for minute. Suddenly the child
ish voice was heard again:
"But l do want to see papa. Why
won't you let me see him?"
Don't, darling; please don't" came
the answer, as the head of the little girl
was tenderly drawn over until it rested
against the folds of the Grape veil.
"But why won't you let me see papaY'
persisted the child.
There was no answer, but the shroud-
ed head of the black figure in the corner
was bent low and the black gloved hand
was reaching for something evidently
hidden in the folds of the black gown.

voice.
"Can | see papa tonight?
Almost fiercely the little figure was
drawn to that of the larger one, and a
whisper-more sob-was heard to say:
"Oh, Elsie, dear, hush. Don't you
know that papa lies way off there on the
Litchfield hills! You can't seem him
tonight, darling, and may God help you
and help me-"
And the car ratified on; but the big,
portly man in the opposite corner turned
about in his seat and looked steadily out
of the window for several minutes.-

Csprivi Springs the Huene Compromise

BERLIN, July THE new reichstag
assembled this morning. Chancellor
Won Caprivi in long address intro
duced an amended army bill. He said
it represented the minimum the govern
ment would accept in either men or
money, which was the lowest possible
consistent with the safety of the en-
pire.
The galleries were crowded. Many
prominent people were present. Chan
cellor Caprivi's speech was frequently
interrupted by applause. The key note
of the speech was that foreign countries,
not knowing the German character,
had been led to believe that Ger
many had lost confidence in herself
and that the countries composing the
German empire were no longer united.
This, the chancellor declared. was erro-
neous and should be quickly dispelled
by the adoption OF the new bill.
The chancellor referred to the action
of Russia in increasing her peace foot
ing army $4,000 more since 1889, and
said she has not yet exhausted her re-
sources. Germany, he declared, must
increase her peace footing il her voice
was to continue to have weight in
European affairs. The assertion made

10000 serviceable men had not been re-
cruited.
Referring to the expense that would
be entailed by granting the govern
ment's demands, Caprivi said the
new taxes would be borne on strong
shoulders. They would not touch the
middle classes or the agricultural popu-
lStion. He could not now, he added,
definitely state the tax plan, but it was
the governments intention to again
Introduce its old financial proposals,
especially the one providing for tax on
bourse transactions.
The chancellor briefly recapitulated
| the leading feature of the old measure.
According to this bill the peace effective,
exclusive of officers, above the rank of
corporal was to consist of 492,0SS men
between October l, 1892, and March 81,
1893. The strength of the various
branches of the service during the Pc
riod mentioned, was to have been I'll
battalions of infantry, Az equadrons of
cavalry, 494 batteries of field artillery,
81 battalions of foot artillery,
"a battalions of pioneers, z
battalions of transports. The average
strength OF the standing army was cal
culated in accordance with the principle
OF two years. active service with the col
ors, for infantry. The increase involved
an expenditure of 66,S00,00 marks in
lump sum. OF this, $1,000. 900 marks
was to have appeared in the budget for
the financial year 1893-94. The annually
accrning expenditures was fixed at 64,-
100000 marks When the new system
should have been fully developed, Ger
many would have in times of war a
trained army of A, 400, 900 men.
This proposal OF the government, the
chancellor added, did not meet with the
approval Of the house, and in attempt
ing to fix q measure that would be ac-
ceptable to the reichstag, the govern
ment had accepted the suggestion OF
Won Huene and Incorporated it in the
bill, withdrawing it's own demands on
points on which the compro.
mise was effected. The sugges-
tion of Won Huene was that the
effective should be increased by
500, 900 men at once, and in the course
of the next three years be raised grad
ually until 100000 men, practically the
full number demanded, were added to
the standing army. 1t was also sug-
gested that go batteries of field artillery
bnouiu nave 1our, instead OF SIX
guns each. The bill thus amended
had been rejected the reichstag
was dissolved, new elections were
called, and now the government sub.
mitted to the new house measure that |
in it's details was practically the old
Huene compromise bill.
Payor, member of the Volkspartei,
followed the chancellor, and declared |
the country had not pronounced for |
nor did the majority of the house sup
port the army bill. 1t could only OBJ
tain a majority by diplomacy.
Manteuffel, a supporter of the govern.
ment, regretted that the government
had abandoned the original bill. Ger
many could not be too strong. The
mobs now rampanting in Paris might
overthrow the government and seek
through foreign diversion.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE Star says:
While members of congress- and leaders
in financial matters are discussing
various plans. by which the present sit
uation can be relieved, the officials OF
the treasury department. are quietly pre-
pairing statistics and histories of fnan-
cial transactions for the benefit of the
administration to guide it in it's own
views on vital subjects. Several plans
have been suggested to Secretary Car
Isle. Among them is one which contem-
plates an entire change in the money
system of the United States. III short,
the plan is to pass specie resumption
act, redeeming all the various forms OF
money now used in the country and is-
suing instead United States treasury
notes, whose value shall always be
fixed. There are at present nine differ
ent forms OF money in circulation, and
the fact of the wide difference between
the value of gold and silver coins, while
they are theoretically of parity, is one
of the causes which has suggested the
plan.
