Wilhom Liobknecht, whose namc is always
conioined with that OF Bebcl as leader OF tho
party, Is portly man, about seventy years
old. Io has i'm excellent university cduGa-
ton, and no makes his living by his writings
In his mother tongue and In French and En-
gllsh. He was In arms for tho republic In
1910, and no had to SO into oSilo when the
revolution was defeated. Once In reply TO
parliamentary taunt he said, "Yo5, l did bear
arms for tho republic in my youth md
would shoulder the musket again in defense
Of the Republican cause Il tho people would
only declare Tor IT," From this he has boon
called "the soldier" and this is still his pct
name among Ills comrades. He Is ready and
fearless, end rather fond OF boarding tho lion
In his don.
When the Government purchased tho Nord-
defiscse AUgaaeiHe Zeitug, bold policy
peculiar to Bismarck was adopted. Lieb-
knecht was Invited to continue his articles, on
liberal terms, and Knrl Marx in London was
also approached with handsome offers Of
money and carte blanche as TO the strength of
his socialism II he would only serve 1t out in
regular doses in the reconstructed organ
Tho object, doubtless, was to conceal tho
radical change in tho journal, and perhaps to
diseredlt these leaders and manipulate tho
Socialists to tho liking OF bismarck. Neither
took tho bait. and tho policy fol- through
Marx was beyond Bsmnreks powor but It is
s'sid that Leibknocht had to suffer for his re-
fusal.
When tho anti-socialistic law was undcr

crimes Of Hoodolnnd Noblling having boon

speeches, In speaking for his party, Liob-
knccht said;
"You we'll know that these vile imputations
arc false. Why not confess the TRUTH"
Turning TO tho Conservntlvesl "why not say
that you arc determined to punieh us for our

1t Is said that tho mothers OF great men
have always been women Of unusual charnc-
ter, and from this fact It is claimed, by men
who have given the subject study. that men
derive their physical qualities from their
father and the mental from tho mother. 1t
is, however, difficult to draw the line as to
inherited qualities; for mental power is de-
pendent on the size and texture OF tho brain,
and tho brain is us much physical organ as
the liver or eyes.

selves Is that ihey arc apt to marry their
opresites and TO make wives OF doll-liko
women. Itshould be borne In mind in this
connection that talent rather than genius is
concerned. Genius is the exception u rule (;
it is freak in the mental word and hai not
the power Of porpetuadon. Indeed, there
arc those who regard great genius as form
OF insanity, and famous poet has declared
that II is allied 10 Madness. But while genius
daz2les the world like the unexpected presence
Of II comet or meteor, talent Is Axed star in
tho ornament oil Intellectual work. Al i 1t is
doubtful any Of the families famous for the
abilities of their members through genera
lions have ever given to tho world man
who could properly be called genius.
No one who Inns carefully read Galatians
book on heredlty will DO inclined to challenge
the array OF facts he marshals to prove that
mental attributes are quito as much matter
OF heredity as physical qualities. The Adams
family Of New England il often pointed to as
remarkable instance OF heredity; but It is
only remarkable because 1t chances to be
neutrality-suspicious.. There arc scores
ycs, hundrods-of American families that can
show distinguished abilities for three or moro
generations. Every long-settled neighbor-
hood in tho United Sntcs has examples of
this kind, and there are families, like the
Washhurns and shermans, that manifest
their amazing vigor OF Intellect in every call
ing thoy undertake.
Tho Cnlhouns, OF South Carolina, tho Craw-
fords, OF Georgia, tho wistars and Cadwal-
adcrs, OF Pennsylvania, the Vandcrblts, As
tors, GOulds and others, OF New York, illus
trate tho continuance through generations of
the mental qualities that first gavc them
prominence. The possession OF similar quail
ties by many members OF the same family is
well illustrated by the case OF "the fighting
McCooks, of Ohio, aud there is an excellent
example Of tho scientific and literary bent OF
family, presented by the Dacres, OF New
England, In another direction the force Of
horcdity Is exempined in tho case OF the
BecchcIs md Pottors.
But 1t Is unnecessary here to do moro than
hint ut this most interesting subject My
purpose Is to call attention to one family
which, for the past fifty years, has made its
impress on American advancement and
along lines seemingly very different ! refer
to the Folds, OF New York, but formerly OF
Massachusetts. Tho Inherited wealth OF
many prominent American families has,
without doubt, been an important factor in
keeping them before the public. 1t has
enabled them to acquire the essential train
ing, while the moncy-making faeulty-the
gift most respected at the present time-has
been the sole gift of the Goulds and Wander
