GERMAN TECHNICAL SCHOOLS.

1t appears German technical schools
and industrial scientific institutions
will soon be closed against foreigners.
high official in the German govern
ment says that ''the tricks of trade
we have been teaching them so long
are now being used against us to the
great injury of our industries. This is
especially the case with students of
such countries as Japan. Russia and
east Europe; also. but in a lesser de-
gree, with the students of England.
America, France and Belgium. 1t is
the part of wisdom to discontinue this
wide-open policy. If other countries
wish to retaliate, we'll, we shall have
to stand it."
1t is most probable that the policy
here outlined will be adopted. for Ger
many fully realizes the dangers to
which she is subject in this matter.
She has had a practical experience
along this line. For years young Ger
mans were haunting the manufactures
of all kinds in England. taking employ
ment at wages much less than the Eng
lish would. These young Germans
were much heater in their appearance
than the English hands; they had
much gentler and better-bred manners
than the English hands with whom
they worked possessed; and they al
ways appeared to be much better nur-
tured, as they were in reality. After
four or five years in an English factory
or great mercantile house. they would
suddenly and unaccountably be seized
with longing to return to the father
land, though the fatherland offered
them no such inducements for gain
ing livelihood and for advancement
as England did. And what was the ex-
PLANTATION of it all? These young Ger
mans. who were very frequently if not
usually graduates of the polytechnic
and technical schools, had been in Eng
land completing their commercial and
industrial education, learning the ways
and secrets that had made England the
greatest commercial nation the world
has ever seen. And what has been the
result? That Germany has become
England's great rival in the markets of
the world, and in many things dis
tancing her.
This is the explanation of this sudden
determination of the German authori-
ties. to close their technical and scien-
tific schools to foreigners. Germany
has no desire to educate the children of
her rivals so that she will ultimately
be injured by them; she does not care
to have practised upon her what she
practised upon England.

WAITING FOR THE REPORT.

1t lacks but day or so of a fort
night since the Maine was sunk in
Havana harbor. The cause of the ex-
plosion is as yet unknown. but the
board of inquiry into it has about COM
pleted its work. Its report will be most
anxiously awaited; the president will
certainly make it public so soon as pos
sible. and the whole people will then
know as much about it as the president
and his cabinet.
At the present time there is no excite
ment over the event. The public mind
is in a frame of mind to judge of the
case upon its merits; and that is the
only frame of mind in which so grave
and momentous an affair should be
judged. The people now want the
truth. the whole truth, and nothing but
the truth; with that they will be salts
fed, but with nothing la; If the evil
dence offered before the board of in
quiry shows the sinking of the Maine
to have been an accident, there will be
no disposition to rest the least blame on
Spain; that that country came under
suspicion was the most natural thing
in the world: but this country has sus-
pended judgment. If there is doubt as
to the primary cause of the accident
the people will incline to conservatism
rather than to radicalism. Ever since
the Maine disaster jingoism has been
at a great discount. and whenever the
voice of the lingo has been raised the
people have ceased to listen to it, and It
has been hushed. The patience of the
people has been admirable; there is not
much longer time to wait before all will
be known. Let us continue to wait pa
tiently.

Father Weber, the Catholic priest
who said that in case of war between
the United States and Spain, it would
be the duty of Roman Catholics to
fight on the side of Spain, has been re-
quested to leave the diocese of New
York. 1t might be just as well to re-
quest him to take up his abode in
Spain.
Here is a man who is far more of a
Catholic than an American. He was
prompted to make the remark he did,
in all probability. by the fact that
Spain is the most intensely Catholic
country in the world: almost from time
immemorial her rulers have been styled
the Catholic kings" Father Weber's
sentiments will find little or no re-
Spouse from the great body of Amer
lean Catholics. He assumes that in
case of difficulty between this country
and Spain it would take the form of a
holy war. What Father Weber needs
is a course in the public free schools.
