The German Emperor's Sponsor.

Prince Hohenlohe, the chancellor of
the German empire, made recently the
extraordinary statement that he accept
ed responsi bility for the official utter
ances Of his master, the German emper-
or. At least be is quoted by English
newspapers to this effect. Now, if this
is the case, he must have approved of
the telegram sent by the German en-
peror TO President Kruger in January of
this year, in which that monarch used
language implying that if the Beers
had not thrashed the English at Kru-
gersdorf he would have cheerfully as
sisted them with German REINFORCE
ments. This telegram served the pur-
pose of turning the whole of England
from q friend into an enemy. Every
Englishman felt outraged at this unnec-
essary act of unfriendliness particular
ly as the emperor had beef made so
often welcome in English waters
We cannot discover that this particu-
lar telegram did good either to Ger
many or to the Beers, and it certainly
produced bad feeling where formerly
good understanding had prevailed,
at least between the foreign Office and
the Wilhelmstrasse. 1t was supposed at
the time that this dispatch might have
been done hastily, under the strong
sense of Indignation excited by the
wholly unjustifable Jameson raid, but
who could have supposed that man SO
old as Prince Hohenlohe could be guilty
of such production? IF the emperor
did send this fatal cable without the
knowledge of his prime minister, it was
the duty of a self respecting official to
hand in his resignation. If, on the other
hand, Prince Hohenlohe accepts the re-
sponsibility for this document, it seems
strange that he still holds Office, consid-
ering the mischief which tA.se few
words made. The German constitution
provides that the prime minister be held
responsible for the acts of the sovereign,
but in these later days the legal organ
ism Of the German empire has had to
sustain severe strains. Harper Week

A German paper relates an episode
of Kaiser Wilhelm's recent visit to
Wiesbaden. When he was riding
along the Taunusstrasse, at the head
of his suite, on Monday, small boy
ran after him, and cried out, as he
frantically waved his cap, "Herr Kai-
ser! Herr Kaiser! get us holiday to-
morrow!" The emperor laughed,
and, with friendly wink to the lad,
called out, eve shall manage it."
Accordingly, on the next day, all the
children of the town were informed
that the day was schu!frei School
free; and, wherever the Kaiser ap-
peared, he was naturally greeted as
liberator with the full power of
youthful lungs.

from becoming ridiculous.
