The Kaiser's Contest With His Peopie.

Our Berlin correspondent says he has
no reason to change his opinion that the
next reichstag will reject the military
bill. He has been travelling a good deal
and ought to be in touch with the people
The "classes" favor the government pol
icy, but the masses" do not.
Here is the danger to Imperialism, as
we have before pointed out. The mon
who influence the masses, like Richter
and Bebel, are keen, clever and auda-
cious. 1t is well known that socialism
and democracy are making giant strides
in the fatherland, all the more reason
Why Emperor William should be eau
tious, just and above all constitutional
in his acts.
Our correspondent believes that the
kaiser will make the unpopular bill a
law by his ipse dixit. Then will come
the tug of war on the financial question
how is the money to be raised to pay
for the increase in the army?
There is no getting over the fact that
the army is quite large enough for pres
ent purposes. The Grand Duke Of Baden
recently said that experience proved one

of an army than from its quantity. Thi,
is another fact hard to get over.-New

A Great salt Lake In Siberia.

The great salt lake at Obdorsk ia !
miles wide and II miles long, vet except
In few places it is solidly rooted ovel
with deposit of salt which is getting
thicker and thicker every year
Our guide. who is an old man. said
that he could remember when the sail
crystals first began to gather upon the
surface of the water Year by ven,
owing TO the evaporation of the water.
the crystals became more numerous and
then caked together till this great root
formed.
In 1878 the water beneath this sail
crystal roof found an underground ont.
let into the River Obi. This lowered In,
lakes surface about three feet, leaving
that distance between the water and tIy
roof.
Looking down through one of IN,
openings made for the purpose in tbe
roof we saw low sided small boat
Our guide put MS one at time into the
boat. We lay fiat on our back and
looked up at the curiously beautiful salt
ceiling overhead. Wepropelled the boat
by pushing with our hands against The
irregularities of the roof.
The guide held long rope attached to
the boat to prevent our going too far and
getting lost-a thing he said it was easy
to do.
Many springs surround this lake.
Their water flows over the roof and
evaporates there, and thus continually
adds to its thickness. After many wears
the springs will probably become clicked
with their own deposits. and then the
whole will gradually become covered
with earth and so great salt mine will
be formed-a treasure for the Siberians
of years to come.-Cor. Geo

Canton, Ga, July 3.-(Staff Correspond

H. w. ]. Ham took the stump here today
and hoisted the proud old democratic ban
ner for the campaign that is coming, 1t
was quite enough to remind one Of the
stormy days of the memorable Georgia
campaign of 1892.
1t has been reminding Of the flame OF
democratic fervor.
The campaign is on, and to judge from
the jealous manner in which these two
distinguished Georgians put their hearts
into the active battle today and the equally
enthusiastic manner in which their utter
ances were received it is a conclusion read
lily and easily made that the democratic
forces of the Empire State of the South
have not wandered far from camp since
the last campaign, and that they stand
ready to respond to the bugle blasts Of the
men to be selected leaders in the approach
ing combat.
1t has been a great day in Canton.
There have been three rousing political
meetings here. The county republicans

SO really there should have been six ad-
justers and the local agent in addition
to the independent adjuster. but the
climate here is SO pure and bracing that
one man can do the brain work of two,
and so they did not all come.
The local agent and the adjuster,
find, are two different men. One is a
social favorite and a pleasing conyersa-
Zionist, while the other is q man who
tells you how cheaply houses like yours
can be built nowadays.
The agent gives you all sorts of ad
vantages over the company, and when
the adjuster comes you find that those
things, after all, were not put into the
policy. He also takes you around behind
the barn and shows you that, as a mat
ter of fact, your policy has been initiated
seven or eight times within the past
year, but he will say nothing of that be-
cause you evidently did not set the house
on fire yourself, and you seem to want
to do better and live purer life, so he
will give you s22 and pass receipts. Then
he looks at his watch and says he must
hurry away and make some other home
happy with his ready John, and away
he goes.
The agent and the adjuster are both
lovely characters, but in different
way. One fixes it so that you will, in
case of fire, be about 81, 200 better off,
while the other makes you feel so glad
to think that the company has not slap
