THE KAISER AND THE CzAR.

The conduct OF Kaiser William since
his advent 10 power has led many pco-
pie 1t home and abroad 10 ask whether
or not his mind is we'll balanced. and on
more than one occasion his movements
have been such rs 10 have justified an
answer in the negative.
Certainly he has done much to cause
unfavorable comparisons 10 be drawn
between himself and his lamented faith
er, and still greater comparisons be-
tween himself and William L., the man
whom along with Bismarck and Won
Moltke, made German unity certainty.
This is all The worse for "the Father
land" and has gone very far to lessen
the affections Of the German people for
the young Emperor, who has never
been in greater need of the support Of
the entire people Of the nation than
now. But Germany is NOT alone in Its
Affections. News comes from st. Peters
burg that the Gear is believed to be
threatened with softenng Of the brain,
and that he has become so wild at
times that his attendants have been
driven by him from his presence, no one
daring venture near him but the Dow
ager Empress.
II these reports are true, and the be-
lief Is that they are, the peace of Flu
rope is liable TO be disturbed at any
time, for the law Of Russia is the will
OF the Car 1t Is to be hoped however
that the news from st. Petersburg Is
incorrect.
With two such rulers rs William and
the Car, controlling two OF the great test
nations Of Europe, assuming that the
condition OF the latter IS as reported
is a condition of affairs which the world
cannot contemplate with complacency.

prised IL the new President would
not gladly take it,
It is true that the Powers of Europe
have no. right in law to blockade the
Cretan ports so long as war does not
exist between themselves and Turkey,
and certainly they would have no right
to refuse an American vessel, trading
with Crete, from entering its ports, but
'all the same we have no desire to make
the attempt simply as an experiment
Nothing but trouble could come from
such venture, and It might involve this
country in war, which we do not de-
sire. It's all very well for the Chronicle
to say that the United States is q great
nation, and that we Cannot. be bul,ied
with impunity." but there is no use for
Uncle Sam to be going around asking
somebody to step on his coat TAIL that
he may prove his courage Besides, adj
vice from the London Chronicle in the
case IS not needed by the people Of the
United States. and the hope is that no
American shi!>-owncr will think OF lis
teninS to it, If SO the Government ut
Washington should use its influence to
discourage it.
