WILL THE EMPEROR COME
New York is ever now and then treated
to a report that the Emperor of Germany
has at last decided to pay that long prom
ised visit Of his TO the new world, and
that his plans are finally made The par
uculars are, in most cases, furnished
with the report, and the difficulty of as
pertaining the truth or falsity of them
all Is increased by the fact that the en-
pcror has gwen orders that none of his
plans with reference to the American
tour shall be made public. The one New
Yorker who has much definite informa-
ton is William Steinway, whom the en-
perOr decorated recently, but that gentle
man invariably declares that he knows
no more than is currently reported, and
can impart no information for the reason
that he hasn't any.
1t was stated recently that the emperor
had abandoned his design of having one
of his sons receive a military education
at West Point. That is misrepresentation,
as the German potentate not only means
10 carry 1t out, but is a most attentive
reader of the West Point reports and has
them sent to him regularly. Moreover,
he has had the American laws on the sub
Jet looked into, and has been informed
that the prince could go as a German gov
ernmeut's student. The emperor had
quite conversation with the late Will
lam Walter Phelps on the subject.
Taking these facts into consideration
and remembering the oft-repeated wish
Of the emperor to sec the new world
there is nothing extraordinary in the repc-
tltion OF the many rumOrs that he is com
ing to New York. The only indefinite
thing about the visit is its date IL is
highly probable that the emperor himself
does not yet know when he will be able
to land in America.
STILL ANOTHER GOVERNOR
Whitelaw Reid is the latest man named
IN connection with the republican nOmi-
I
names mentioned in this way are being
sprung SO spasmodically, withal, that
suspicion exists that some political bu-
reau or other is at work. We now have
three names so handled: Depew, Morton
and Reid 1t is certain that not one of
the men so talked of has done anything 10
bring this about.
The truth of the matter seems to be
that the nominee is unknown to any one
and that he will be a man as yet uncon-
sldered in connection with gubcrnatOrlal
hOnOrS. The rumOr seems to grow out of
the unusual conditions. With mayor
and governor, not to speak of countless
other officials, to be chosen at the coming
election, it Is natural that the field for
conjecture should be a wide one. As fol
MIR Reid, he has carefully refrained
from anything like an expression
of who the nominee for governor should
be. He has very little to do with politics, al
though il is almost impossible to get many
New Workers to believe that He is very
sensitive to assertions that his popularity
is not as great as that of some others, and
once declared that since he is so uupopu
lar the politicians should not be running
of fact, Reid is quite popular with large
section of the trades union element, since
but for him the union rate of wages fol-
printers would not have been maintained
at a critical juncture. This fact is helG
to excuse his former reluctance to employ
only union hands. At present the esta b
lishments he controls pays an unusually
high rate of wages to all employees. cir
cumstance which naturally causes him t
be an available candidate from the labor
point of view. DAVID WECHsLER.
