IMPKESSIVE DAYS.

These are impressive days in this land
of the free and home of the brave. In
New York harbor the stately war ships of
the nations are gathered together in joy
ous friendliness, their awful weapons used
only for purposes of courtesy and their
officers and crews full of good feeling for
each other, and all glad to show honor to
the United States of America. 1t is q
thrilling ard memorable spectacle and
ceremony. And while this illustrious act
in q great drama is going on, q
quister but not less impressive scene
ia furnished by the progress from
Philadelphia to Chicago of the old
liberty Bell that in 1776 rang so hope
fully and significantly for national free
dom, proclsiming "Liberty throughout
all the land to all the inhabitants thereof"
This cracked and time-worn old bell
speaks louder and more significantly to-
day than ever. When it rang on July 8,
1776, 1t spoke of a grand and sacred
purpose. Now, as 1t goes on its way
across the land, 1t speaks of the splendid
achievement of that purpose, of the
fruits of 1t that have been garnered
and of those which are yet to come. No
wonder the glorious old relic is greeted
with shouting, with music and with happy
tears as 1t moves through free and united
people. No wonder that patriotic parents
hold their children up to kiss it, as they
tell them its noble story, and read to them
its sacred inscription. We are not an idol
worshipping people, but thank God we
are capable of worshipping the old Liberty
Bell and what 1t typifes. In spite of the
money grabbing mania, in spite Of polit-
ical corruption, and in spite of what some-
times appears to be general demoraliza-
ton, the soul of patriotism still glows in
this people and consesrates such relics as
this old bell. Long may 1t be before that
spirit dies or grows cold.
Let the cannon of the friendly war ships
boom in honor Of each other and of the
United States of America. Let the vener-
ated bell, voiceless though 1t now is, call
out the same feelings of patriotism and de-
votion that it evoked when 1t rang sc
clearly and inspiringly in 1776. Let ali
the people of this country who zee the
wonderful spectacles of this week and mex,
or read about them be impressed with
their cause and their meaning, and strongly
resolve in the depths of patriotic mindt
| and hearts to be true Americans, worthy
| of such land as this and Of the glorious

The Prussian Supreme court has sustained
the hespitable lodge by declaring that to
exclude Jews. because they are Jews, from
Freemasons' lodge would be q violation
of the Prussisn constitution.
One of the most notable features of the
reign of Emperor William is the extra.
ordinary impulse which has been given
during the last few years to the building
of churches In the various parts of the
empire. In Berlin alone no less than
twenty-six new churches have either been
erected or commenced since the accession
OF Emperor William, which, added to the
four and-twenty evangelical churches with
which the Prussian capital was previously
provided, will render Berlin as fully en-
titled to style itself "The City of Churches"
as Brooklyn. These new churches repre-
sent money value of 10000, 900 marks,
5000, 600 of which have been provided by
the emperor and government, while all the
remainder has been raised by voluntary
contribution. $1,000,
The trial of Herr Harden, editor of Die
Zukunft, of Berlin, for high treason was
interesting. The chief charge against him
was that he had published an article
entitled "The Education of Monarchs," In
which he set forth the dangers which re-
suit both for princes and people If an ex-
sggerated Byzantinism and servility gene
rated in the mind of the monarch can un-
restrained feeling of Olympian power"
The remarks which the article contained
on this theme were, in the opinion of the
counsel for the Grown, referable to the
present Emperor, and he therefore asked
for a sentence of four months imprison-
ment. The article was, however, the court
decided, written In an eminently monarch.
ical vein, besides which 1t contained
great deal of truth. The assertion that
the education of a monarch must be under
taken when he came to the throne, and
must be continued through life, was no
insult, but the bare truth. The young
Emperor, with his energy and spirit, with
his mighty will, believed he could make
quick progress, and the statement of the
article that the Emperor believed he could
achieve his objects in a much shorter
time than other persons thought necessary
was again the truth and no cslumny. On
these grounds the court acquitted the &C
cused.
