Washington's representatives at the tri-
ennial conclave of Knights Templar, which
is next to be in Boston, ought2not to have
very much trouble in convincing the GEN.
trail body that Templar headquarters in the
United States should be established at the
national capital; should be housed in a
building which would be a credit to the
wealthy and extremely powerful organiza-
ton which has so large a membership the
whole world over and fourishes p;cu-
ously in this city. Slowly but surely there
is centralizing tendency in this direction.
The seat of government has been on the
Potomac for nearly century, and conse-
quent upon the location here of the moving
forces of government have come institu-
tons of learning and class of residents
superior In every respect. Socially Wash
ington is much more attractive than any
other city in the country, and so far as
urban and suburban beauty and all around
desirability is concerned, is without peer
on the entire continent. Other and larger
cities may insist upon what they believe to
be their rights in this matter, but even
the largest Of the competitors is merely
local to the state in which 1t is. Wash hing
ton is the capital of the nation ana belongs
as much to Arizona as it does to Massa-
therefore be able to establish headquarters
in this city without much difficulty; here
all Americans are at home.

Some of Cbicago's newspapers are ex-
tracing considerable satisfaction from an
idea that four companies of colored troops
soon to be mustered into the Illinois Ma
tional Guard are the first colored troops
ever enlisted in the national guard of this
country. Chicago has always been am
bilious, and is never so well pleased
when it leads the procession, but in this
matter of colored national guardsmen it
is at the rear. Here in the District of Co
lunlbia We have had colored guardsmen
ever since the passage Of the new militia
law; we have now a battalion of four COM
panies which captured most of the honors
at the recent brigade encampment at Fort
Washington. Then there are colored
troops in some of the southern states, GER
tainly in Virginia. Alabama, Georgia, Mary
land and North Carolina. while of the
northern states Ohio, Pennsylvania and
Rhode Island have companies composed of
negroes. OF course everybody is perfectly
willing that Chicago should enjoy to the
full this, to Chicago novel experience of
having colored companies in the Illinois
guard, but that the truth of history may
be preserved it is necessary to call atten-
ticn to the fact that Chicago is a long
way down the line just now.

left his home in Reichanau. Returning to
ReichaEau recently he was arrested and
imprisoned. the absurd charge being that
he had failed to serve three years in the
German army. He was fined 200 marks
and sentenced to forty days in jail. His
passport was of no apparent value at any
stage of the proceedings, and no amount
OF entreaty could bring about a cleansing
of the filthy cell in which he was i'm
INJURED. Finally appeal was allowed and
being out on bail pending the hearing the
accused decided that the better thing to
do would be to escape; a determination
which he promptly and successfully put
into operation. While in Jail this resident
of Decentralization Glaser-learned that
an American citizen was in an adjoining
cell and had been there for thirteen
months, his offense also being failure to
do army duty. 1t is undoubtedly true
that many young men emigrate to the
United States that they may by doing
avoid a burdensome legal requirement, but
it would seem as though naturalization in
the United States ought to completely re-
move any such disability as that for which
American citizens are unduly annoyed.

The Leader in Books.
From the San Francisco Examiner.


The person who was asked to point out
the most popular book of last year based on
the circula ton of copies would hardly be
likely to hit upon. the right answer. 1t is
not to ''Trilby." the G, aceful, nor the brave
Gentleman of France nor the Prisoner
of Zenda," nor Coins Financial School,"
nor "Merrie England" nor any of the
books of the day that hold the record. All
these, with their 25,0C0 ard $1,000 and 10O-
go of circulation are far in the rear. The
leader in books last year, as for all the
years. was the Bible. The report of the
American Bible Society for 1894 shows that
this single organization printed and pro-
cured in the twelve months 1,95S,6I4 copies
of the book, and of these S45905 We're cirCu-
lated in America aud the rest in foreign
lands. This is not supposed to be day of
much Bible reading or of willing faith,
but a work that sells at the rate of over
$780, 900 a year in the United States after
some centuries of circulation is not exactly
to be considered as laid on the shelf.

Very properly the State Department is
doing what 1t can to assist the German
government in securing possession of sew
eral Germans who, after misbehaving
themselves in their native land, migrated
with all possible haste and secrecy to this
country. There has never been any ur-
willingness here to do the right thing in
such cases and there never should be any,
but 1t would be only fair for Secretary
Olney to direct German attention to the
fact that the rights of American citizens
of German birth are frequently disregarded
when one of those citizens returns to his
native place for a brief visit Only few
days ago a resident of Cleveland, Ohio,
came back after much longer stay in
Germany than he had figured upon when
planning his itinerary. This particular
citizen was a boy when, nine years ago, he
