OF the Western States as IN New 1oih,
steps have been taken TO put the party on
a permanent footing.
"A meeting of our National Executive
Committee will be held before January

1T is quite evident that as honest Dem

so az variance with those held 10y us

EMPEROR WILLIAMS MtNIAL'hAi''
ACIEEISIIC~,

The German Emperor occasionally
shows CLEANS of common sense. but, take
his acts and words by and large
and we feel perfectly saushed
that his mind is predisposed
10 take extreme and medieval
views OF matters. lie undoubtedly en-
courages duelling in his army, and the
world has been startled repeatedly dur
ing the past few years by weird and
singular homicidos growing out OF the
false notions Of honor" that he insults
into his soldiers. Even now the German
Parliament is in an excited debate over
the Infamous murder Of workman by
a German officer for a fancied slight to
his uniform in a public restaurant. We
recently read an account Of an aiiront
given by one Of these gentlemen to an
American lady that vas outrageous, but
characteristic.
She was at a ball, and a very handsome
young officer was brought up and pre-
scented. He asked her to waltz. but his
sword got tangled in her gown and tore
Il so that she sat down. She said 10
him. Il wonder that you gentlemen who
dance 50 well do not leave of your
swords when you waltz" The officers
countenance. which had been all sweet
ness before. clouded up instantly. and
with the utmost rudencss. he whisked
himself of. leaving the lady alone. and
saying IAN insult 10 my sword is an in
suit 10 my Emperor" This incident is
reliably voucher for. and we ask II mid
dle-age madness could have produced
anything more absurd?
1t IS not particularly pertinent 10 the
remarks we wish TO make upon this case.
hut this incident recalls another. Just
at the beginning OF our late war. a young
Southerner. who had been az a German
University and had seen officers IN the
Prussian Army Waiting with sword and
spurs on. undertook TO do the same
thing at a BAH given by tho Governor Of
Virginia. lie soon had MS spurs wrap
ped up in a lady's train. who. with flash
ing eyes. called TO him. "Sir may
trouble you to dismount?"
dispatch from Berlin 10 the London
Mail gives the Tagcnblatt as authority
for the statement that Emperor william.
while recently speaking to an officers
gathering. advised them TO DO their
drinking In their own mcss-room and not
TO venture into public places at the risk
Of rows when they were tipsy but that
II they Were attacked they should not
hesitate 10 use their arms"
OF course Emperor William may never
have said this bat 1t is quite in keeping
with the caste OF mind no has shown
himself 10 be endowed with for him to
have said II. lie has the strongest sort
of leaning towards milatarism and the
rule OF the sword.
IT is not surprising that we are told
this statement has produced strong ex-
element and has been denounced as an
Indictment 20 rncnslaughter.

many years TO amuse and entertain and

a most delightful speaker before the cur
tain. and he always says something inter-
esting. He was right in telling the Bal
timore people that an actor who speaks
to his audience in propria persona between
acts is very apt to snap the thread Of
interest which he has woven about his
hearers. What could be more absurd than
for an actor who has been slain in the

the audience as one awakened from the
