Incidentally, Ii also makes Russia the
paramount power in Europe-a posi-
ton held by the German empire since
the close of the war with France. and
lost to her by the egotism of Emperor
| William. No monarch of recent times
has succeeded so admirably in making
enemies and undermining public con-
| fidence as this erratic young Hohen-
zollern. and the,statement, quite often
repeated of late. that he is suffering
from fits of insanity is verified by his
public utterances. At recent banquet
of Coblentz he surprised his hearers
and the world at large by claiming on
behalf of his grandfather and himself
responsibility to God alone. He pro-
nounced his own acts to be infallible
and reiterated his belief in the divine
right of kings. 1t would not surprise
either his friends or foes should he
attempt next autumn to dismiss the
parliament and proclaim an autocracy.
That an action of this kind would
disrupt the German empire must be
taken for granted The empire founded
by Bismarck is essentially constitu-
tional government. 1t is composed of
Independent Kingdoms and principali-
ties. among them being Prussia. Da-
varia. Saxony, Wurtemberg. Baden and
Hesse. Old King William of Prussia

peror of Germany at Versailles in 1871.
his exalted office being sort of presi-
dency of the confederation. the ruler
of each state retaining his sovereignty
and titles and absolute contro, over in
ternal affairs.
Each state sends representatives TO
the parliament, or reichstag, and should
Emperor William undertake to gov
ern without the representatives of the
people he would at the same time as
sumo a dictatorship over the princes of
the empire. Prussia and Prussian
methods have never been popular in
south Germany. and the slightest at
tempt to curtail the privileges of the
states outside of Prussia might be fol-
lowed by revolution in Bavaria. Sax
ony and Wurtemburg. The venerable
king of Saxony, one of the most infuen-
tial monarchs of Europe, is already es-
tranged from the emperor, and Prince
Regent Luitpold of Bavaria is bearing
Prussian dominance with ill-disguised
impatience. Prussian feudalism is in
deed rapidly disorganizing UNITED
Germany" and endangering the life of
the empire. The impulsive William is
too blind, however. to take cognizance
of this danger. and instead of profiting
by the warnings of publicists who ven
ture to call attention to it he has them

resses on charges of "lese majestic"
According to reliable advices, Chan
cellor Won Hohenlohe will relinquish hi!
office in October. He is to be succeed
ed by Bernard Won Bulow, at presenr
Prussian minister of foreign affairs
and the lattea's place is to be filled by
Baron Won Thielmann, now minister Of
finance and until few weeks ago inn
perial ambassador at Washington.
Baron Won Bulow, the coming head
of the German government, belongs to
a family of statesmen and soldiers,
Although but 4s years of age, he has
been minister to Bucharest and am;Das-
sador to Rome. If he has any political
convictions, the world has never been
taken into his confidence. His family
has always stood high in the councils
of the uitra-conservative party, and
probably his sympathies are with the
same organization. He is q strong pro-
tectionist and monometallist, and in
other affairs represents nothing except
the convictions of his imperial master.
His elevation to the chancellorship will
not be hailed with delight outside of
Prussia. His official acts will be an
tagonized by all parties, except the
conservative coalition.
Baron Max Thielmann, the prospect
i've secretary of foreign affairs, is con-
sidered one ofsthe ablest diplomats in
the German service. He represented
the empire at Washington from 1894 TO
1897. and during that time managed
to conclude a series of very clever ne
gotiations TO the satisfaction of his own
government and without sacrificing any
OF the high social popularity which he
enjoyed during his stay here. He is
55 years of age, and comes from an old
German family which has seen consid-
cradle court and official service.
But one good man does not make a

ened with annihilation and inglorious
defeat.
Russian diplomacy, however, has al
ways accomplished more than Russian
valor on the battle field. An alliance
with France, such as that announced a
few weeks ago, is bound to promote
Russian interests in the many interna-
tional questions now awaiting settle
ment. 1t is menace not only to Ger
many. which for 26 consecutive years
have controlled the policy of continent
al Europe. but to Great Britain as well.
While, from an ethical point of view,
an alliance between autocratic Russia
and republican France is nothing less
than an anomaly. from political view
point it is Il diplomatic master stroke.
Russian ambition is boundless. It
has. for many decades, contemplated
complete change in the map of the Le-
want. the northern province of India and
the north of China. Translated into
plain language this means that Russia
is working for the annexation of Euro
pean Turkey. Afghanistan and Beloo-
chistan. northern China and the king
dom of Corea. To succeed in any one
of these gigantic enterprises. the czar
was compelled to have an ally in west
crn Europe. He could not make over
lures to Germany, because that country
is too closely identified with Austria
Hungary. which has its own eyes on
part of European Turkey; nor was he
perhaps anxious to still further aug
ment the military prestige of his Teu-
tonic neighbor. France, isolated and
without friend in the European con-
cert" and feeling the need of power
ful ally, at this jncture threw itself
into the arms of the Muscovite bear
with almost uncomfortable vehemence.

II Not Prosperity, What Is 1t?

CLEVELAND, Sept. 2o-The movement
of ore from the upper lake mines this
year win beat all records 1t is now
estimated that at least 1900, oO9 tons
will be marketed this season. and next
spring is likely to find all the docks
clear. That would be unprecedented.
Last year the stocks in the spring
amounted to 5000. 900 tons. Ninety
i've per cent of the allotment of the
Ore Association has already been sold,
and prices show buoyancy under the
heavy sales 1t Is believed the ere

he had been employed by them on a

jects in the orient, and the alliance with
France. instead of threatening the peace

hostilities will not be renewed between
the hereditary enemies on the banks

But it must not be supposed that France
does not receive any benefits from the
alliance. Quite the contrary. 1t re-
stores the republics place as one Of the
really decisive powers and will enable
it TO complete its conquests in Asia and
Africa.
To sum up the advantages to both
countries: The alliance enables Rus
sia to carry out its policy in the east:
il assures France against attacks from
Germany; IL Deutralizes the moral ef-
feet of the triple alliance; and last. but
not least. it isolates Great Britain, Gus-

THE HEBREW NEW YEAR
Being Observed by Hebrews all Over the
World.

Monday was the Jewish New Year
from the bounds of Poland, in the Rus

America, the first of the month Tishri,
of the year 5659, and the day the
world was born" II ushered itself in,
not at midnight, as is the custom in
the Christian calendar, but at sundown
Sunday night, and every Jew in the
must honor its coming.
With the orthodox the ceremonies
are full of life, curious and impressive.
Hung on traditions and obServances
they have even in the poorest, barest
synagogues, a splendor that is almost
oriental in it's symbolic features
Little understood and almost unknown
to Americans at large, these ceremon-
les yet exist, and 700, 600 people said
the ''Shamang Yisrail' Monday night.
Hear, o Israel. The Lord our God
The Lord is One!''

and this is the keynote of all Judaism,
the inner core. On this one belief is
built up towering structure of tradi-
tions, customs, observances, ceremon-
les and duties that were made when
the prophets taught in Palestine. The
new year services, lasting, properly
speaking. a fortnight, but followed
several days later by the picturesque
feast of tabernacles, then by the Great
Hosannah celebration, then by the
eighth day of Solomon's assembly, is
the chief season of ceremonial in the
Jewish year.

Perhaps there is no staple article about

son than human hair as an article of COM
merce. 1t will doubtless surprise many
when it is stated that the dealers in hu-
man hair goods do not depend on chance
clippings here and there, but that there
is a regular hair harvest that can always
be relied upon. 1t is estimated that over
annually in the civilized world for adorn-
city alone over four tons of this class of
goods are imported yearly.
Not a little of the hair used In this
country" said a New York dealer to the
writer, comes from the heads of Ameri-
can women and is fully as fine in shade
and texture as the imported article. We
had a big harvest during the craze that
the fair sex had not long ago for having
their hair cut short. Many thousands of
women who then had their locks sheared
