THE DRAMATIC EMPEROR.

There IS a great deal of excited com
ment among European journals over
the dramatic posing of Emperor Will
lam of Germany, and the grandiloquent
and florid Inscriptions to him by his
brother Henry, who has been dispatch
ed with a fleet Of war ships for Chinese
waters What is the meaning of the
words and attitudes of these two men?''
is the speculation now uppermost
among European politicians and papers
outside Of the German Empire.
1t may be taken as very near to the
truth that William is playing part for
the .cry purpose of exciting the criti-
cism and inquiry now common in Eu-
ropean circles. The idea that William
is mad or ratified is absurd. There is
method in all the shrewd though vain,
ruler does. His brother Henry unques-
tionably was coached for his role in the
dramatic scenes now so disturbing Eu-
rope.
The Emperor has secured a slice of
China as large as the State of Rhode
Island and more densely populated. 1t
has port of great value and perfect
safety, easily fortified and capable of
sheltering the entire German fleet.
From this foothold that Germany will
take long steps toward the interior is
altogether probable.
But If William said, as is reported,
that the days are not many to come
before Prince Henry will be hailed as
Emperor Of China, there was no SINGER
1ty in it. Emperor William we'll knows
that the Powers of the earth will never
consent to any such extension of Ger
man power, nor to the subjugation of
China to the rule Of a single European
state. If William used the words as
cribed to him, then he did it to throw
out feeler to test the spirit of other
powers and compel them to manifest
their sentiment in the matter.
Along with this expression of Will
iam's is to be classed that other cred
tied to him at the Kiel banquet, name
~, that China, like an artichoke, is to
be eaten piecemeal. 1t may be that
Germany contemplates, or rather.
dreams of a foreign empire on a scale
with that Of England in India. but It
VIII not be carved out of China, except
py concert of all the European and
the greater Asiatic States.

TENS Of railways through Northern
China.
1t was for these purposes that he
pressed his claim with success for
these purposes, that he subsequently
negotiated with China for a sort of
tenancy foothold in, and rights of way
across Manchooria with his railway
lines, which of course are intended by
connections to touch the Yellow Sea in
the vicinity of Port Arthur.

sOundneS;

The Dixon Tribune" asks: do those
patriots who are forever clamoring that
the Monroe doctrine be maintained at all
hazards, realize that Hawaiian annexa-
ton means the utter undoing of that
famous policy? 1t is true and they must
realize it if they will give the subject a
moments consideration. The Monroe
doctrine is now thoroughly respected
by the nations of the earth, and let us
keep it So"
No. we think they do not have any
such realization for the very best of rea-
sons. namely that the statement of our
contemporary is incorrect. The annexa-
ton of the Hawaiian Islands will be the
most vigorous assertion Of the Monroe
doctrine, considered in one light, that
has ever been made. Certainly, how
ever, the annexation cannot weaken the
doctrine, nor refusal to annex strengthen
it. We doubt, by the way, the soundness
of the claim that the Monroe doctrine is
respected by the nations of the earth
England is sincere in it's recognition.
She has specifically declared that she
bows to it, and that it is a policy not to
be disturbed: but no such voice has come
from continental Europe. Nor may we
expect it. Such recognition as the doc
trine has from across the big waters,
save in the case of England is only the
confession that is the result of respect
for ability on the part of the United
States to maintain the doctrine at the
muZzle of a gun.

A Statement
to the Point.

We have been in the cloth
ing business at Fourth and X
streets for nearly a quarter Of
a century. That is long
enough to know it thorough
ly, and we believe that we do.
We have far more money in
vested in clothing than any
one else hereabouts. We
have many more goods, many
more styles, much more COM
plete lists of sizes than posi-
bic IN any stock smaller than
this. We buy from the lar
gest and most successful
makers in the country, and
we never sell a dollars worth
without getting the cash in
hand.
These are some OF the rea-
sons why, if you want the
best satisfaction in clothing,
you will at least see what is
here before buying elsewhere.
