An Insult TO Kaiser william.

BERLIN, Feb. 1s.-A gross insult was
offered his majesty Emperor William as he
was riding In an open carriage through
the Brandenburg gate. The sidewalks
were crowded at the time. Some miscreant
who evidently had knowledge that the EN-
peror was out for a drive and would pass
through the gate threw a package Of
newspapers at the kaiser. IL struck his
majesty on the left shoulder Beyond
causing the emperor to suddenly grow
pale and quick order to drive faster, no
harm was done. Despite the fact that spe-
eial officers drove as a bodyguard behind
the kaiser's carriage and that several po-
licemen were near the gate, the throwei
Of the package was not detected, and no
arrests were made.

GLADSTONE INDIGNANT.
Wrath Aroused by England's
Treatment of Armenia.
he MAY RE-ENTBR PARLIAMENT.

The Grand old Man VIII stand For Eiec.
tion at the First opportunity-To Cham
pion the Cause Of Prosecuted Christians
In Turkey.
NEW YoRK, Feb. 19.-The Suns Lon
don correspondent says:
II there is any truth in tho report which
comes to me from source which is enti-
tied to respect and confidence tho world
is about to witness a spectacle as dramat
&c, as sublime as any event in political
history. A close personal friend Of Mr.
Gladstone is responsible for the statement
that the soul OF the Grand Old Man has
been SO aroused by Lord Salisbury's final
abandonment OF tho Armenians that he
has determined to embrace the first oppor-
tunity TO rc-enter parliament, in order to
raise his voice for the awakening of the
national conscience. The aged statesman's 8
shame and wrath over Englands disgrace
were described as awe inspiring and terri
bic. Ho includes both parties ia his bitter
denunciatlon. Both have failed to main
tain the honor and good name of England.
The popular apathy and deadening OF the
national conscience Is In itself n crime.
Englands infamy at the present moment
is, in Mr.. Gladstone's opinion, the black
est stain on the record of the British en-
pire. 1t is said that the old man Is both
inspired and downcast by the thought
that it is his duty at last to act and with
almost his last breath to roproach his
country for its dishonor and to urge his
countrymen to cast off, even at this late
day, the guilt of Christian blood which is
now upon them. To this end no VIII offer
himself as candidate of no party. He
will 90 to parliament, If permitted, with
only one object in view, and when he
has accomplished It, II he survives the
strain, he viii finally retire to the seclu-
sion which he thought he had already So
cured.
If this is correct representation Of Mr..
Glndstone's intentions, England and all
Europe arc about to experience ono Of
those great popular agitations which have
beon such dominant factors in making
human history. No threateRed event in
the present political situation is of such
great importance as this reported deter
mination of England's most illustrious
Citizen

ProsperOus TANNERS.

In YAnkton County, south Dakota,
there are at least one thousand farmers
who came here poor as the proverblal
turkey of Job and who to-day count their
worldly posssssitns by thousands. Many
OF them started IN with a house built of
sod and almost empty handed 30 far as
horses ard cattle 60 To day they occupy
fine dwelling houses, have large barns,
6ne horses. cattle. hogs and sheep,
granaries filed with grain, fruit orchards
and money In hand. We mention this to
show that South Dakota farmers are the
prosperous class. Prosperity is the rule
--not the exception. With fair prices
for grain aud live stock they would be
rolling In wealth. Prices, however, have
nothing to do with the fertility OF the
soil and the favorable character OF the
climate These natural advantages are
here to stay and assure prosperity to the
farming classes. .-YanRton Press and
