German agriculture is an ugly enough
reverse to the medal of Cincinnatus al
the plow. The farming aristocracy
claims kind of divine right analogous
to the outspozen pretensions of its en-
peror.
They are the mobiles, they are the Off
GERS, they stand for the land, the sup
port of dynasties and the nursery OF
armies. On the strength of all this they
demand special consideration at what
ever cost TO other elements from the
country TO whose welfare they hold
themselves essential. Essential no doubt
they are. But it must be said that the
advance in German prosperity during
the last generation has not been In their
province, nor are they TO be looked &c
for the continuance and development of
it. Germany's peaceful triumphs have
been in man ufacture and trade. Ger

Senator Vest of Missouri was making
an impassioned speech, in the course Of
which he wished to quote piece Of
poetry. Senator Proctor, dignified and
attentive, was sitting beside the senator
from Missouri. When Senator Vest

picked a clipping from his desk and
continued: Il wish TO interpolate this
little piece of poetry. l will say for the
benefit of the senate that il has been set
to music by an en- inent composer. " He
picked up the slip and was about TO con
tinue when Senator Proctor's grim face
relaxed, and he said in a low voice that
was audible to all 7n the floor, but could
not be heard in the galleries:
