THE REFORM PARTY.

(By Me Too of Collyer)
A reforming party once struck out
And for reform did shout and shout.
In every school house they did fell
That this fair country'd gone to -
They had their picnfcS and parades;
They talked. they shouted, and they prayed;
They branded the GO. p. a curse,
And said that times could be no worse
They wanted bins to hold their grains,
And Uncle Sam to haul their trains
They wanted greenbacks, all they could
And rich young girls for old men to marry.
They wanted silver 16 to 1;
The poor have plenty, the rich have none
They pleaded for men to join their fold.
Fight the crown of thornS, and cross of gold.
And as they talked and waved their banner,
They'd save the world in the following man
ner:
Wen get balloons with great long straps,
And load in all the gold-bug chaps;
Well send them up way out of sight.
And drive the picket pins down tight.
And when the earth is turning round
Well have them where they'll neer be found.
For when they re on the under side.
Well cut the Stra ps and let 'em slide.

had become fully satisfied that it was

GERMANY AND THE UNITED
STATES.

Germany will observe the strictest
neutrality during the war. The En-
peror is not elected every four years,
nor does he feel called upon to make
an enemy of the United States. in
order to please the whims of certain
! classes of his subjects. He is quite
well aware of the growth in popula-
ton and wealth of the American peo-
! pie. Any unfriendliness at the present
time would be "chalked up" against
him by the Americans.
The German mercantile classes are
not friendly to the United States, ow-
ing to the high tariff which excludes
their goods from American markets.
They claim that the Americans have
put up the bars of trade, and have done
so in very mean and selfish way.
Again, Germany has for some years
regarded South America as a field for
German settlement and empire. She
has even contemplated the occupation
of Brazil. All movements in this di-
rectiOn are at once checked by the
Monroe doctrine. which is in the ma
ture of an arbitrary threat to all of the
European powers The Emperor of
Germany, with his great army and
navy, does not relish being told to
keep off American grass" He would
like to see the head of the American
buffer punched little by Spain.
s1fC al in,
also sympathises with the Spaniards.
1t would not give aid and comfort to
them, but would rejoice to see them
victorious, and knock the stuffing out
pers condemn SPANS government of
Cuba, but they refuse to see justice in
American interference. They refuse to
believe that the Americans are gov
erned by any other than the most sell
fish motives in interference, and charge
that the humanitarian motive is mere
ly protest for conquest.
But this is not the belief of the great
body of the German people, the quiet,
serious, strong majority, who keep and
will keep Germany on the side of the
United States. The influence of the
large German population of the States
is a powerful one, reaching back to
Germany itself. 1t informs the people
of the Fatherland that the Americans
are really conservative in their treat
ment of the Cuban matter.
Germany will maintain the very
strictest neutrality. The report that
the Emperor intended to prevent the
capture of the Philippine Islands must
be, therefore, without any foundation.

The Madrid papers are frantic. The
Union Constitutional says: "The rich
Yankees will fight against insolvents.
They are turned crazy by money,
which gives them no courage, and
which will not buy patriotism or per-
sonal or collective braveness. Enthu-
siasm is faith in Gods justice. The
actual war is a laughable fight be-
tween cosmopolis and the cry of the
FatherIandl' which gives soul and
nerve to the fighting vessels and to the
army, and which is to be found only
in those who are ready to die, thinking
of glory, victory, honor, and the tri-
umph of the Fatherland. Besides,
most important, the American soldiers
haze neither guitars nor scapularies of
the Virgin"
The war should be watched from the
musical aspect of the case. If Ehe
failure of the American soldiers 10 pos
sess guitars and scapularies results in
disaster, we shall get a lesson out of
it. Why is not the highest officer of
rank in the Hawaiian army sent out
on an observing tour to Cuba and
Florida, so that he may pick up mug

At Old Point Comfort, Virginia, there
are two hotels, costing not less than
one and a quarter millions of dollars
They are erected in front of Fortress
Munroe, but not on the side facing the
ocean. These hotels have been built
on Government land, with the express
stipulation in the leases, that the mill
tary authorities may, in their own dis
erection. in the event of war, destroy
them. Their destruction would be ne
cessary only in the event of an en-
emy's fleet passing by the front of the
fort, and making an attack on the side
facing Hampton Roads. Preparations
have been made for the almost instant
demolition of these vast hotels. But
there is so much confidence in the
power of the forts guns, with the aid
of the torpedo system to prevent access
of any hostile ships, the insurance on
the hotel property has not been in
creased.

Half a dozen or more of the prOmi-

conference with the Cabinet at 8
o'clock yesterday afternoon. The sub
ject was immigration and there was
earnest discussion of the matter. 1t is
believed to be the request of the plan
tiers that further time be given to fill

try 10 per cent of labor either from the

The annexation treaty is still taxi
ing good portion of the time of the
United States Senate. \ late dispatch
brought by the Zealandia says that
the treaty will receive the greater
share of attention during the coming
week.
The friends of the treaty have sue
ceeded in securing general assent from
Senators in charge of other measures
that the treaty shall be given practi-
cal right of way until a vote shall be
secured which practically will decide
its fate. The Corbett case has right
of way, but the probabilities are that
an arrangement will be made early In
the week whereby time will be fixed
for voting on the Corbett case, and
that then the consideration of the
treaty will be allowed to proceed with
out material interruptions.
There will be speeches by Senators
German, Platt, Money, Lodge and 9th
ers. Senator Pettigrew has been talk

COULD NOT TELL WHEN.

Senator White of California attemp-
ted on February 18th to ascertain
from Senator Davis, in charge Of the
treaty, whether there would be an
early attempt to secure vote upon
it. The California Senator stated his
opinion that there ought to be at least
three weeks notice of time for the
vote for the arrangement of pairs. He
stated that he would be compelled to
be absent from the Senate for the next
three weeks, and expressed a desire to
know something of the plans to bring
the discussion to an end.
In reply Senator Davis simply stat
ed that he could not at present say
when the debate would cease or when
the Senate would be prepared to take
vote.
