Unless there is great disturbance in some
other portion of Europe public attention will,
until after the coming elections to the reich
stag. be conferred upon the German empire
In that powerful subdivision Of the old world
a struggle has just commenced which may re-
suit in startling but not unnatural govern
mental changes. The Emperor Williams ef-
fort to secure the passage of bill which
would largely increase his army having been
frustrated by the reichstag that refractory
body was dissolved Now another reichstag
has to be elected, and when it sits
1t will have to deal with the problem that
brought about the present uncomfortable con-
ditions in the Fatherland. Then should it also
try to defeat the imperial desire Germany will
probably experience such a sensation as it has
not known for many years, for the Emperor
has determined to win To assemblage of
many officers, gathered on the Tempelhofer
paradeground, the Emperor said: II was
obliged To dissolve the Reichstag in the hope
that the new Reichstag would pass the bill.
am determined. in case this hope also be dis
appointed, to stake all in my power to obtain
the enactment of the measure, for L am too
thoroughly convinced of its necessity as a
guarantee Of the peace Of Europe to allow it to
be finally defeated
That sounds as though the ruler Of great
people was preparing to proceed to extremities,
even to the extent Of unconstitutionality, but
the probability of such procedure is denied at
the outset by an official who represents the
emperor and who said that his majesty desires
the most scrupulous adherence to constitu-
tional forms. 1.-THE emperor" continues this
officer, "feels strongly, however, the urgent
need Of reforming the Reichstag. He cannot
govern with Reichstag split into ten political
parties, among whom, through chance or
partisan agreements, majorities are constantly
forming against the Government on vital issues
His Majesty does not wish to rule absolutely.
He is willing to rule condItionally-eve to
allow the parliamentary majority a share in the
government-but what imperial cabinet could
work with Bebel, Lieber and Richter? Not one
OF them has under his control positive work
ing majority; not one Of them can get together
q majority combination. Few things would
please the emperor better than a consolidation
of the parliamentary factions into two or three
large parties, with whom he would be able to
reckon in determining his policy. Then he
would be happy to govern in harmony with the
parliamentary majority"
To those who view the strife from affair it
would seem as though this latter statement was
born Of that sober second thought which is not
visible in the address made to the generals in
the morning. The Emperor is undoubtedly a
shrewd monarch and knows that every move
ment he makes toward the personal despotism
of Frederick the Great but hastens the coming
Of the German republic.

Marietta College of Marietta, Ohio, has just
adopted an interesting and somewhat novel
idea in connection with the medal system
which has played so important part in edu-
cational advancement Medals will be pre-
scented to 1.-The best all round fellow" the right
to the distinction being determined by the
votes Of both classmates and faculty. This
step toward making that general popularity,
which can only be attained by a combination
of the qualities which are commendable in
student, matter for tangible recognition is
well worth attention

OF the many valuable truths uttered last
night at the banquet given Controller of the
Currency Eckels none can be more gratifying
to lovers Of this beautiful city than those made
by non-residents who have their fingers on the
pulse Of national opinion and who took occa-
sion to comment upon the real importance of
the national capital Local financial
growth was pleasingly apparent and all
the evidence indicated reasonable
degree OF conservatism and undoubted
solIdity. But all Of the speeches were not filed
with pleasantly Of the veracious variety; there
was something deeply significant in remark
made by the controller declaration which
seems to be entirely reasonable. 81 believe"
said he, "that upon every national bank is
placed the moral obligation to hold it
self in readiness at all times, under all
circumstances, to assist the officers of the
government in every time Of distress in
maintaining the nations credit. / am aware
that no legal reason exists for such course, but
having drawn 80 much Of wealth and power to
themselves through the generous dealing Of
the government: with them, the bankers Of this
country can i'll afford to place themselves in the
attitude Of looking with indifference upon the
anxiety of the financial representatives of the
treasury, when the financial integrity Of the
government is threatened. A proffer of help
from them at such q time, spontaneous in its
character and patriotic in its motive, would
disarm . thousand critics who are loud in their
denunciation Of it and reconcile them to a sys-
tenn which they charge with being the recipient
Of special privileges denied to them"
Mr.. Eckels is undoubtedly right. His senti-
ment is patriotic and yet busrnesslike.

Discomfort among the walters employed in
hotels and restaurants seems not to be confined
to Q single locality, for within week or so the
rebellious spirit has made its appearance in a
dozen cities. That these sometimes active
mediums between hungry humanity and the
realms Of the chef have reason for revolution
has in many instances been made surprisingly
manifest. In Boston one hotel required its
walters to work seventeen hours each for three
days in the week, fourteen hours on three
other days and nine hours on the one day re-
naming, the men had no breakfast except such
rs they could steal, were compelled to do
porters work when the dining room was closed,
and had to wear dress suits on Sundays, all on
the tremendous salary Of six dollars per week
Men who would not strike against such an OPP
pressive aggregation Of wrongs should be re-
sarded as worthy Of dime-museum fame.
While the strike in New York was at its height
one extremely 'distinguished' proprietor told
. reporter that a waiter who had refused to 60
out captured more than five dollars and half
in tips within three or four hours. He should
have been ashamed to mention it. No other
class Of employer looks to the public to pay his
help.
