The German Army Bill.

The excitement in France over the
Panama-canal scandal has had the effect
of diverting IN great degree public atten-
ton from the vital question that 10 agita-
ting the German mind. That question IS
the fate of the new German army bill
which provides for increasing the peace
efficient of the military establishment OF
the empire and the reduction OF the term
of service with the colors to two years.
Three weeks ago the conclusion seemed to
have been reached that the government
could rally sufficient support to drive the
bill through the Reichstag. Since then,
however, the governments strength IN
that body appears to have disintegrated
very materially and the situation IS said to
present the alternative Of compromise
or a dissolution.
The Emperor, it will be remembered,
was rather 10th TO give his adherence to
the measure when it was first preached
and declared that he preferred a smaller
army we'll drilled and disciplined to an in
creased force lacking IN these essentials.
However, il is now no secret that having
been won over TO the bill he has thrown
the whole weight of his influence behind
1t. He cannot afford to see 1t defeated /;
nor is il altogether certain that under the
circumstances be would act wisely IN ac-
| cepting compromise.
The very fact that some OF the most i'm
placable members OF the factions IN the
Reichstas opposed to the bill would favor
1 IN
] than have the body dissolved may prove
| to the Emperor the most potent reason for
| proceeding to dissolution. The attitude
| of the opposition Is pretty good evidence
| that they are doubtful us TO what strength
| they would develop before &he people on
| the issue. On the other hand, there Is no
question that the Emperor Is immensely
| popular with the masses. Whatever
may be his faults and mistakes GER
tain it is that he has done
vast deal to allay the jealousies between
| the several German states, and that his
] personal following. so to speak, is ire
| mendous all through the empire. dis
solution of the Reichstag would be signal
| for q test not only of the strength OF the
government, out OF tue power Oh Wiz
LIAM's individual hold upon the people,
an0 all signs point TO the conclusion
that he has all to gain and nothing to lose
| by forcing the test.
The struggle. if it comes, will be most
interesting one for many reasons. Chief
among these are that freedom of speech
has made rspid strides in Germany of late,
and therefore the sentiments of all politi-
cal parties will be more openly expressed
than ever before; that the Emperor him.
self will be very outspoken, and that Bis
MARCK will be heard from in no uncertain
tones. In short. 1t vii. be the nearest ap-
Proclamation to "a heated political can
ment" that Germany has ever witnessed.

Gold and Silver-Mr. Stewards Speech
In the United States Senate on the 4th

an able speech in favor of the full remone-
tization Of silver. The speech bristles
with telling figures. aud by its facts ap-
peals in the strongest manner possible TO
the good sense of the people. 1t will be
found in full in the Congressional Record of
January 5th. We commend Mr.. STEWARDS
argument to the consideration Of the
monometsllists, who think they know
it all.n We commend it.not ss being sufi-
cient in itself TO convert monometallist
into bimetallist. but as containing food
for thought for ali persons who have
pondered the financial problem which
this country is now trying to solve. 1t IS,
however. weak point in Mr.. SrEwARr's
argument. as il Is in every argument on'the
same side Of the question. that that argu-
ment cannot be perfected by q reliable
statement as to how much gold IL would
require TO do all the business of the world.
