THAT BUSY EMPEROR

By those who have watched the gyra-
tions of tha erratic and egotistical En-
peror OF Germany the following little
"size up" by the New York Post will be
pleasing.
"What serious business the trade of
Emperor has become in the modern world
may be inferred from some statistics re-
Gently published in the German papers re.
gardne William Ills distribution of his
time during the past year. He spent l59
days away from Berlin. OF these, 50 we're
taken up by hunting parties, IS by visits
10 allied princes. and IS by mil
itary parades and army mannuvres
what has been called the 'de.
lirium tremens" of the Kaiser.
The remaining days of his absence from
the capital were passed in different Ger
man cities, haranguing the burgomasters,
and in various royal chateaus, doing "suth-
in in the pastoral line" Even when in
Berlin, William keeps up his pathological
activity. coun ing that day lost whose low
descending sun has not seen garrison

'holier than thou air, ask OF US
mending of our ways Of dealing with
rebels?" And then, With the knowl-
edge that lynching is of almost
weekly occurrence in the United
States. and with the recent wanton
slaughter of Cinnamon in Wyoming
and Italians in Colorado fresh in their
minds they have concluded that this
government will bs superlatively i'm
pertinent if it INDUCES in any gratui-
tous suggestions rs to Spanish cam
paigning in Cuba, that it is not exactly
qualified to engage in the moral in
fluence work along that line. 1t is
probable that the psople OF some other
countries will agree with those Of
Spain.
As matter of fact whether our own
house is as transparent and frail as the
Spanish papers assert or no., the reso-
luton of the senate foreign affairs
committee is very raw piece of cen
atorisl politics which threatens to
make this country the lsughing stock
of the statesmen and diplomats Of the
world. 1t is the product Of fossllized
cranks like Senator Morgan Of Ala
bams and g4rrulous jinsoists OF the
design of Senator Lodge of Massschu-
setts. Uncle Sam has a whole lot Of
business Of his own to attend to. There
is an abundance OF missi onary work

Fair are the flowers and the childr

Fair are the flowers and the children but their
subtle sugges ion is fairet;
Rare is the rose burst OF dawn, but the secret
that clasps il is rarer;
Sweet the cxultance of song, but the strain that
precedes it is sweeter
And never was poem yet writ but the meaning
outmastercd the meter
Never 4 daisy that grows, but mystery
guidcth the growing;
Never a river that flows, but a majesty scepters
the flowing:
Never Shakespeare tha scared, but a stronger

Nor ever prophet foretells, but mightier
seer hath foretuld him.
Back of the canvas that throbs, the painter is
limited and hidden:
Into the statue that breathes the soul OF the
sculptor Is hidden:
Under the joy that it felt lie the Infinite issue
of feeling;
Crowning the glory revealed is the glory that
crowns the revealing.
Great are the symbols OF being, but that which
is symbol is reater;
Vast the create and beheld, but vaster the in
ward creator:
Back ol the sound broods the silence, back OF
the gifts stands the giving.
Back OF the han that receives, thrill the eensl'

Space is as nothing TO spirit, the deed is out

Tennessee Centennial.

Seven buildings, constituting part of
the Tennessee Centennial and Interna-
tional Exposition. which will open at Nash
vile from May |, 1897, to November !
are now under construction to be completed
by June of this year. These edifices have an
aggregate floor space of over 400, ,OOOsquare
feet, and Will cost nearly 100000. The re-
production of the Atheniau Parthenon.
which will be the centerpiece of the expo
sition. will be entirely fireproof, and the
stone and brick walls of the celia have
risen to height of twenty-five feet and
the workmen are rapidly building them up
until they will be fifty feet. Around this
celia the fifty eight magnificent white col
umns will be erected, and on top of ali the
steel roof will be constructed. The ground
floors of the machinery, transportation and
commerce buildings are finished and the
erection of the superstructures has begun.
The woman's building and the administra-
ton buildings are under roof and hence
forward the work on these structures
will be in the hands of the interior finish
ers. The frame work of the auditorium
has been Completed sixty feet up to the
base of the tower. The agriculture, min
eral, forestry, horticulture, negro and other
main buildings will he put under contract
from time to time, and all of them will be
covered Oh the exterior with white staff.

MUST WASH AWAY OUR OWN
SINS

The Spanish press, moved to anger
by that very remarkable resolution of
the senate foreign affairs committee,
in which the president is asked to re-
quest Spain to accord more humane
treatment to the Cuban insurgents,
suggests that people living in glass
houses should be polite enough not to
hesve stony missiles at others. Some
pleasant references are also made to
the habit more or less prevalent in
certain parts of the United States of
extinguishing the lives of alleged
criminals without the form atty Of a
legal trial. In fact it is plainly appar-
snt that the opinion obtains in Spain
that the people of this country fall a
good healthy distance short of making
their practice dovetail with their
preaching.
Now then, of course, while the
~you're another" argument is not of
very logical kind, and is impotent as a
justification of wrong, there are occas-
ions when it is uncomfortably forceful.
This intercession or contemplated in.
tercession by the United States with
Spain on behalf of Cuba would con-
stitute one Of that kind. The idea of
having this country ask of
Spain the recognition OF the
insurgents as belligerents is based on
the presumption that this coun-
try can hope to exert great moral in
huence on Spain. That, indeed, is a
pleasant presumption, and every pat
riot'c American will hope that it is we'll
founded. The fact, however, is that
moral influence can only be swayed by
one country over another when the
country attempting the exertion is ad-
mittedl, the superior of the other in
fidelity to the very observances that it
desires to convert the other to.
4 le question seems to have arisen in
the minds of the Spanish people, "do
the people of the United States SO
faithfully conform to the requirements
of advanced civilization as to wsrran
thea assuming that they can. with .

And walked for q while tos ether

THE COUNCILS OPPORTUNITY

Today the people of Los Angeles
will have an opportunity of estimating
the backbone and the loyalty of the
men elected to conserve the public in
terests in the city council. The report
Of the committee on water and water
supply will be presented, with the rec
ommendation that reduction amount
ing to an average of 33l5 per
cent from present water rates be
made. The action of thee oun-
cilmen on that report will deter mine
which has the call on them, the public
or the water company.
It is to be expected that the water
company will most vigorously object
to any reduction in rates, and esps-
cially the reduction recommended by
the committee. Neither individuals
nor corporations are in the habit of
letting go good things with alacrity
and willingness. The water company
will prove no exception to the rule.
But with the facts of the company's
inordinate profits and the peoples en-
phatic demands before them there is
but one thing for the municipal legis-
lstors to do, and that is to enact an
ordinance embracing the reductions re-
ported by the committee. The threat
Of litigation by the water company
should .frighten no one. The cor
pvration has INDUCED in similar
talk before. but very wisely has re-
Trained from contesting in the courts
the right Of the city council to fix the
rates. And if no measure for SUBJ
stantial reduction in rates can be
legally enacted, the people should
know it. If there are any doubts
about the councils power in the prem
ises, the sooner those doubts are set
tied the better.
But today the public of Les Angeles
expects the council to do its duty,
courageously and promptly, regardless
of the persuasions, the threats, the
plesdings and the subterfuges of the
interests that stand for high-priced
water.

He said that an agreement had been
reached by which the farmers would this
season Cei 80 25 per ton for their beets
showing - per cent Of sugar. and 20 cents
extra for each ! per cent. This will net
the growers about 81 per ton and possibly
81 30, the same rate that Spreckels pays.
In case of the bounty being restored or a

The Bond Bidders


Treasury officials were great, surprised
at the carelessuets of many bond bidders.
In addition to the 464O bids received there
we're several score of offerings which had
to be thrown out because the men making
them had neglected to sign their names or
I'LL i'll the amount they were willing to take
or the price they wished to bid. Most of
these blunders were made by bankers and
business men, and there were so many
specimens that the treasury officials who
opened the bids were forced to wonder il
their correspondents had not been labor
ing u der some excitement when they filled
out their blanks. One bidder, western
banker, would be in a pretty fix if the de-
partment were to accept his offer. lie
thought he was going to be smart and so
started out to make his bid for a million
read "at the lowest price offered But by
''highest' instead of "lowest," and great
ly surprised and embarrassed man he
would be if Secretary Carlisle were to allot
him his million at $50.
Quite number of b dis were made on a
purely speculative basis. Some of these
smart bidders may turn pretty penny for
their shrewdness Suppose Johnny Jones,
brokers' clerk at $40 a week, had con-
cluded to turn tinancier and bid for
million of bonds. There was nothing to
prevent. No capital was required, no
guarantee of good fai h, no bond nor de-
post. Suppose Johnny had kept his eyes
and ears open and thereby reached the
conclusion the big bids were going to fall a
little under IL l, and had put in his own
bid small notch higher. He would get
his million. The secretary of the treasury
could do nothing else than award him what
he had bid for. especially if he could prove
he was ready to pay for them. This part
of the operation Johnny could very easily
manage. 1t is believed the bonds will soon
be quoted at la. Before the first pay
ment is required he could 60 to some
banker and sell out at profit of = or ,
cents on the dollar. thus realizing 100000
or $4,000 without any other investment
than that of a little nerve and postage
stamp.
How soon will another issue of bonds be
needed? That is a question which every
one is discussing. The average guess in
official circles is a year. though many
think another loan will be needed next
fall. Doubtless most of the successful bid
ders for this hundred million issue will
make their first and perhaps their second
payments out of banks as private gold.
But how about the succeeding payments?
There is nothing in the world to prevent
them going to the sub.treasuries with bum
dies of greenbacks and drawing out for
their final payments the very gold they had
paid in for the first payments. That would
be the endless chain with vengeance.
Yet if this be not done by many of the bid
ders treasury officials will be agreeably sur
prised. That is the weakness of another
loan of this character, where the govern
ment has no check upon the source whence
the gold is to be obtained. The strong fea.
ture of the much berated private contract
was that the government was guaranteed
not only that the syndicate would not work
the chain, but that they would prevent
others working it.-Walter Wellman IN

THE CHILDREN,

Nauseous and bad-tasting medi-
cine is Objectionable to adults and
a horror to children. No doubt its
frequent lack of good effect is, at
least partly due to the disgust it ex-
cites in them-the shock to the sys-
tenn. This is especially true of Cod
Liver Oil, in the form of the ordi-
nary old-fashioned mixtures so often
forced upon the terrified and help
less children. A most marked con-
trast is WdmpoIe's Preparation,
which, although it contains all
the curative and flesh-producing
properties of Cod Liver Oil, is en-
tirely free from its taste, odor and
appearance. In combination with
this drug are the Hypophosphites
Compound and the Extracts of Malt
and Wild Cherry Bark. In build
ing up pale, puny, emaciated chill
dren, particularly those troubled
with Anemia, Scrofula, Ricketts,, and
Bone and Blood Diseases, nothing
equals the Preparation. Its tonic
qualities are of the highest order.
1t creates new blood, strong muscles,
sound teeth, solid bones, and enables
them to grow up into healthy men and
women, for cures made in the young are
economical and permanent. 1t is pro-
duct of modern study and science. Drug.
gists everywhere sell it.
