Commerce to the serious American com
petition. especially in cottOns, growint
up in South American countries. where
German exporters have so great inter

are preparing suggestion of the bes
way to combat this competition.
The peculiar appCSitencss of the tex
OF the special sermon on Emperor Viii
lam's birthday, namely: BE still ant
know that | am God | will he exalted
among the heathen," has attracted {
great deal Of attention. and it is now OK
planned that the Emperor himself select
ed it. 1t is suggested that the adding
OF the word Chinese would make the
passage perfect.
A noteworthy article in the Ham
burger Nachrichten on the occasion OF
the Emperor's birthday bears unmista
bly, the ear mark of FREDERICKSBURG. am
expresses Prince B;smarck's views. II
says:
1.-The monarch has stepped into the
foreground of public life far more than
his ancestors did. The policy of the
Empire and of Prussia bears marks OF
imperial origin. and the strong indivu.

only governs but rules. and is in reality
the actual leader of the nation, and dis
poses of the deStinies of Germany. II

spirit than short time ago, if the con-
ffence of the State government visibly
increases. if the spirit of enterprise is
nft rs iTlV IN hn
fact that the Emperor has known how
to find WAYS whereby desired ends are
attainable.'
The most severe criticism has been
aroused throughout the country at the
sentence of two months Imprisonment in
a fortress imposed upon Herr Trojan,
editor of the Gladderadatsch on Tues
day last. for cartooning the Emperor.
Even the conservative newspapers pro-
nounce it an atrOcious sentence. it is
said to be directly due to the Emperor
influence. as His Majesty was furious
at the cartoon. and has given strict in
functions that Herr Trojan be confined
at Weichselmunde. situated in fever
laden district. where Herr Wreds.
another critic. contracted the most
severe malaria.
The Gladderatasch's issue OF today
was confiscated owing to the publica-
ton of cartoon in which Herr Trojan
,satir;cally criticized his sentence. He
also published two poems to the same
effect in today's Gladderadatsch.
Herren Schmidt and Walther. two
Alsatian editors, were also imprisoned
during the past week. on the charge of
Lese Majestic, for publishing an ironical
article on the Emperor's birthday. Herr
Stadthagen, Socialist member of the
Reichstag. has also been sent TO prison
for six weeks for Lese Majestic.
The Reichstag has taken novel step
in Withholding part of the salary of
Lieutenant General Won Podbielski, the
Secretary of State for Posts and Tele-
graphs. on the ground that he must first
promise TO inaugurate n number of re-
forms. including an increase in the
salaries OF the letter carriers of the ru-
'.al districts, which are wholly made
quate.

been republished. In a new introduce
ton DR.. Hale says: TT was the inten-
ton of this parable, which describes the
life of one man, who tried to separate
himself from his country, to show how
terrible was his mistake. It does not
need now that man should curse the
United States, as Philip Nolan did, or
that he should say that he hopes he
may never hear her name again, to
make it desirable for him to consider
the lessons which are involved in the
parable of his life. The man who, by
his sneers, or by looking backward, OF
by revealing his country's secrets to her
enemy, delays for one hour peace be-
tween Spain and this nation is to all

Smoke and Powder.

It is always pleasant to read OF m
stances in which would-be practical
jokers have had a chance to sample
their own wares. In Life in Celifor-
nia," Alfred Robinson tells Of senior
Lugo, who often amused the travellers
by his stories and eccentricities, and
one evening attempted practical joke,
with the following result: He had load
ed paper cigar with gunpowder and
placed it among his cigarros. During
his visit with me he repeatedly asked
me to smoke, but I fortunately missed
the cigar ne had prepared, until finally,
from the lateness of the hour, he with
drew. In the course of the night he
awoke, and feeling a desire to smoke,
selected from his bundle, quite forget
full of the evenings amusement, the
very cigar he had prepared for me.
Having lighted it, he returned to bed.
The cigar was about half consumed
and he more than half asleep, when a
sudden explosion carried away the bet
ter art of his mustache, and so thor
ouauIy frightened his poor wife that
venture to say the event will never be
forgotten.

No Profanity In Japan.

There is one popularity about the
japanese that rs not particularly
known-they never utter an oath The
reason for this is that there is no word
in the Japanese language which is
equivalent to an oath. Even the vast
number of foreigners VINO have gone to
that country during the last ten years
and the thousands of new words added
to the language have not in the least
affected the japanese in swearing. In
this respect the japanese stand alone,
for all other inhabitants Of earth can,
when they step on tack, use a strong
er expression than the one used in gen
eral conversation.
