While Germany exults over the appar.
emily happy ending of a long and bitter dis.
agreement between its emperor and Prince
Bismarck, there seems to be no reason why
any of the other European nations should
rejoice In the hearts of the people gen.
orally there is a strong if unspoken desire
for peace; a desire which finds no comfort
In the repaired friendship of the Kaiser
and the ex-chancellor. So long as the
agreement between these extremely dis
similar men continues 1t is the emperor
who will dominate. Intent only upon prep
arations for tremendous strife, he will not
suffer interference with his plans, nor is il
expected that Bismarck would attempt to
offer any serious obstruction. Far ad-
vanced in years and possessed Of capricious
vitality, the old statesman will probably be
cc=tent to assist the monarch in working
out and endeavoring to make successful
the imperial design. 1t is a strange COM
bination, Indicative of the early breaking
of a great European storm.

The ability Of men educated In this coun-
try to talk clearly and effectively in pub
lie on various questions has frequently been
commented upon by writer's and observers
Of American customs and characteristics.
The fact has been pointed out that it is
not unusual to listen to admirable speeches
In public meetings from men who do not
belong to professions which cultivate the
faculty Of public speaking. An excellent
instance Of this American trait, as IT has
sometimes been called-although 1t seems to
be quickly acquired by those who come
from other countries and make their home
hers-was found in the sessions of the Ma
tional board of Trade. which today con-
Guided its sessions in this city. This organi-
ration Is composed Of the representatives of
leading commercial bodies throughout the
country, and its annual meetings are de-
voted to the discussion Of important ma
Nonal questions The discussions, as well
IS the conclusions, are marked by the dig
nity and good sense that might be expected
from body composed, as this Is, of the
representative men in the business coEmu-
mites Of the great commercial centers of
the country. Presiding over their delibera-
tons sat Mr.. Frederick Fraley, who was
elected president Of the board twenty-six
years ago. when the organization was first
effected, and has ever since served the
board in the same capacity. He is long past
the age reached by the majority of men,
and while he shows some evidences of the
weakness Of advanced years, yet thus far
they are only physical indications. Old age
has not yet reached his mind. except to en-
rich 1t with the stores of wisdom and ex-
perience which come with years. He is
now ninety-one years of age and is prob
ably the Oldest man who ever actively held
a position of the kind

An Address to Mr.. PETER.
From the New York Tribune.

PETER, dear! We fear you are an alarm
list. Else why should you wag your hirsute
chin and say, you did in the Senate on
Monday. "A day of retribution is coming
day of reckoning is nigh at hand The
people will smite their enemy. In their
wrath this great crime will be avengedt'
Language so earnest and impassioned
should not be INDUCED in unless You have
advices that warrant it. Many people will
be disturbed by it. Some will provision
themselves for siege and barricade their
doors and windows. Some will betake them
selves to the mountain Businesses others
will fly into the depths of forests and many
Will go down cellar and wait for 1t to blow
over. Your language. PETER, Is more blood
curdling and more devastating than any
thing even that was uttered the floor
of the Senate during the eclipse of gayety
and the general sense OF impending doom
which prevailed while the silver debate
was on in the extra session.

Satisfactory test was yesterday made Of
the great hydraulic tunnel through which
Q minute percentage of Niagara's great
water power will soon rush continuously to
supply Industrial motive force. There never
was any question as to the possibility of
Harvesting as much as was wanted Of the
rapidly descending river; all that was needed
was sufficiency Of capital with which to
purchase the harness. In all, about a.
oO.0O0 have been invested in the construc-
ton OF the tunnel, which has a capacity of
one hundred and twenty-thousand horse
power This power will be applied in prac-
tically every manufacturing establishment
erected or to be erected at Niagara Falls
Turbine wheels whirled by the rushing
waters will run the machinery and generate
more electricity than there is now any need
for in that vicinity. The direct result of the
enterprise. which was yesterday proven 10
be thoroughly practical, will be the building
up in the neighborhood Of the falls of what
will probably be the greatest manufactur-
ing community in the world. OF course
this will not come Immediately, but 1t Is
easily possible that within the coming
twenty years the scenic attractions Of the
grand cataract will be less interesting than
the hive of industry for which the torrent
poration will look with a business eye upon
die valuable force now unused that goes to
waste within sixteen miles of this city,
and then Washington the beautiful will
have within easy reach a great manufac-
turing center which. by reason Of its near
ness to tidewater. will possess advantages
not possibly to be secured by city located
as is the one on the banks of the Niagara
River. When that time comes, this city
will be electrically illuminated throughout,
and the electricity will be generated at
Great Falls and transmitted to Washing
ton just as the current is transmitted in
many parts of Europe today. Steam sta
tionary engines will give way to the
cleaner and more satisfactory motor and
many lines Of business will undergo profit
able revolution. These desirable things will
not happen this year, nor. perhaps, will
beginning be made within the present CEN
fury, but to imagine that such vast
quantity Of power will long be permitted
to run idly Is out Of the question. The
growing keenness of commercial competi-
ton will compel economy, and there are no
forces 50 economical as those of nature.
