4 BEER WAR.

They are having beer war in Ger
many. 1t is not like the beer war S
which are sometimes waged in this
state, but is assuming a much more
important phase than any of the cit
liens league raids to which we are
accustomed. It has been in pro gress
several months, and began as fight
between the beer makers, who refus-
ed to pay the wages demanded by
their workmen, and the Socialist
leaders, who proclaimed a boycott
against the beer makers. This gave
the contention political aspect,
which was intensified by the mill tary
authorities, who issued an order by
which the soldiers were forbi dden to
frequent the beershops not boycotted
by the Socialists. Moreover the lat
ter used to hold their meetings in the
halls of the friendly breweries, the
government withdrew from these the
privilege of letting their halls to the
revolutionists. The Socialists retort-
ed by exacting from the breweries
they patronized the pledge that no
beer should be sold there except to
members of their associations.
Now the Socialists are holding mass
meetings in all parts of the kingdom,
and the whole country is in beer
ferment with great masses of froth
running over the edges. Nevertheless
beer continues to be the national bev-
erage.

TIE KA LSER AND HIS ARMY.

The New Years address of the Ka1-
ser to the officers of the Berlin garri-
son shows that the popular agitation
in Germany weighs heavily on his
mind. He spoke of the Social Demo
cratic movement as a more serious
foe even than the foreign enemy con-
Quered by the Germans in 1870, land he
added that <'the army is the funda-
mental basis of the empire, for the
army is the nation armed" These
are words of gravest import for the
German people, and clearly mean that
the Kaiser believes that he may be
driven to use the army in putting
down the demand of the masses for a
stronger voice in the government and
in silencing their protest against the
tyranny of privilege and class
The Kaiser's statement, that the
army is the nation armed, suggests a
doubt also whether the soldiers would
be ready to go any length in crushing
their countrymen, with whom they
most largely sympathize, and espec-
tally would this be doubtful should
the Kaiser proceed beyond the bounds
of his constitutional authority in at
tempting to stamp out popular dis
content. 1t may be added that Will
helm makes significant admission
when he speaks of the army as the
fundamental basis of the empire. The
Press has more than once remarked
that the great armaments of Ger
many, Austria and some other powers
were really maintained to keep the
people in subsection, defense against
foreign foes being secondary object.

Germany has 29,240 breweries, and
the United States only $500. BIT the
latter must be, on the average, much
larger than the former, inasmuch as
the total German product is 4,75O, ,OOO,-
900 liters and that of the United States
$500, ,ooo,O liters. England's brew
cries number IL, ,874, and her produc-
ton of malt liquors of all kinds comes
next in quantity to that of Germany.
The whole number of breweries in the
world is given as 81 900, but their ag-
gregate production is not recorded.
The increase in the consumption year
by year is steady.

The Philadelphia Press has collected
the returns of the late election. The
aggregate shows that II, ,263,37 bal
lots were cast and counted. The fig
ures for the two missing states, Neva-
da and Florida, would easily bring
this up to II, $50, 900. This is an enor-
nous aggregate vote. 1t explodes
the claim that the verdict of the coun-
try was the result of Indifference, for
never before has vote approximate
ing that of Nov. been cast in an Off
year election. The total vote in the
hotly contested presidential election
of 1892 was 1903, 1858, SO that this
years record falls not far short of it.
Of the II, 1858, ,377 ballots accounted
for, $685. 1926 were cast by repubi-
cans, 4, ,14s, 456 by democrats, 1,246, ,752
by populists and 219,s43 by prohibi
tionists. The republican strength
shows an absolute increase from 5, 49,
2O4 in 1892 to 5,5ss, 1856 this year-a
gain of 413, PA. That is not only the
largest vote which the republican
party ever polled, but it is the largest
vote which was ever polled by any
political party in this country. In the

THE SITUATION.

The NeaU York Tribune in discussing
the situation after dealing with the
things of politics says:
''Outside of political considerations,
which have so largely governed busi-
ness for two years, there are some of
less satisfactory tenor. The disas-
trous cheapness of cotton and wheat
cannot be expected to vanish at once.
Surplus stocks beyond all precedent
must inevitably influence markets
very much until the worlds consump-
ton of many other important prod
ucts falls far short of the producing
capacity, and this, be it noted, not
because the production is larger than
ever, but because circumstances have
greatly reduced consumption. The
best possible laws, the uttermost as
surance as to the financial future,
would not at once restore consump-
ton at the old rate, so that there must
be faced some months of gradual gain
even after lawmakers have done the
best they can.

often overlooked. The people are
constantly increasing in number and
in consuming power. In good years
the addition to the National wealth
has been nearly, if not quite, 81, ,5O0,-
00O, 900, and in bad years like the last
two there is an apparent, but not
wholly actual, loss Prices of real
estate and other properties are mark
ed down, but that effects only those
who have to sell. Earnings run clos
er to expenditures, but on the whole
nevertheless exceed them. Enor
nous additions are made to the Ma
tional wealth in such times by the
erection of new buildings, the open
ing of new farms, and other produc-
tive property, and the application of
new machinery to lessen permanently
the cost of production. 1t is probable
that in this respect the last year has
added as much to the Nations wealth
as any other for a long time. With
added wealth and added population,
there is a solid foundation for larger
prosperity when the country sets
itself again to defend its industries. :"

When we read of 700 destitute fami-
lies in one county in Nebraska; of suf-
fering among the poor of the large
cities; of the death from starvation
of a family in Connecticut; of labor
''strikes" and reduction of wages in
Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, it
occurs to us that Vermont, though
small in territory and with climate
ordinarily in winter far from genial,
is a pretty fair state to live in. We
hear of no such incidents in this state
as those just alluded to. Money may
not be plenty, but there are very few
inhabitants who will not comfortably
weather the cold months, and be pre-
pared for spring work.

The Lexow committee finished it's
police investigation Saturday. The
climax was the testimony of Supt.
Byrnes, who stated that to his positive
knowledge the New York police sys-
tenn is rotten throughout and that
nothing short of complete re-organ-
ization will purify it. He has known
of the abuses of the department, but
his own hands have been tied as his
efforts toward reform have been
checkmated by the Tammany police
commissioners. The testimony he Of
fered was clear and straightforward.
Few except DIR. Parkhurst believe
that Supt. Byrnes is implicated.

Florida has been having a touch of
genuine cold weather. The cold was
so severe in most parts of the state
that the part of the orange crop not
already secured, as well as early vege-
tables and fruit are destroyed. Vege-
tables can be started again, but it
makes work and trouble and increas-
es the expense of boarding northern
visitors, which is the most profitable
business of the state.

For the first time in twelve years
New York has Republican Governor.
Mr.. Morton was inaugurated last
week with appropriate ceremonies, in
the presence Of as large company as
could be crowded into the Assembly
Chamber. His brief speech was in
excellent taste, but the compliment
tary references to his predecessor will
not awaken lively response in the
minds of many patriotic citizens.
Governor Morton appreciates the i'm
portance of the duties he has been
called upon to discharge and the ques-
ton that will require legislative and
executive action. The solution of
these, he says, will demand ''infexi-
BILE integrity and high conception of
public duty" To that standard the
people have right to expect the new
Governor to be faithful. If he stead
fastly works sifor the best interests of
the whole people," his administration
will be a notable epoch in the history
of the State.-Iribune.

still adhere to the Presidents policy
respecting Hawaii, for no other con-
ceivable reason than that it is his pol
icy, are processing extreme indigna-

like the officially inspired Blount and
the docile Willis, he chose to put the
truth on record in the report which it
was his duty to make, instead of fiat
tering the Commander III chief with
congenial fallacies and prognostica-
tionS which events were certain to re-
fute. They are not even decent enough
to admit that Admiral Walker has no
responsibility for the publication of
facts which are offensive to them be-
cause offensive toSthe President, as
truth is certain to be when it exposes
the mischievous vanity and ignorance
of q stubborn man. He made faith
full report of what he had seen and
heard, and offered in proper man
ner advice which he hoped would be
welcome and useful. There his re-
sponsibility ended, and he has not
sought to carry it further. From
every point of view he is not merely
blameless, but entitled to unmixed
