Resolution is omnipoteat.

"Resolution," says John Foster,
''is omnipotent. He that resolves
upon any great, and at the same time,
good end, by that very resolution has
scaled the chief barrier to it. He will
find it removing difficulties, searching
out or making means, giving courage
for dependency, and strength for
weakness; and like the star in the
east, to the wise men of old, ever
guiding him nearer and nearer to the
sum of all perfection. IT. Edwards.

WIDBER'S BONDSMEN.

F the Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland,
 the surety corporation which guaranteed the integ- rity of Treasurer Widber succeeds in evading its liability for the dedication of that official It will be Tn order to relegate official bonds in San Francisco to the limbo of farce comedy. No person ever ex- poets individual bondsmen to pay In the eye ot the law those bondsmen always good fellows who ought to be let off, or straw men whose property never can be discovered when 1t becomes desirable to levy upon it. Personal guarantee bonds have conse- quently long been joke. But Ii 1t shall now De found impossible to collect from surety corporation the whole subject should be turned to Sullivan, Gilbert and Hoyt.
 Still it must be admitted that its manager de- cares the surety company which guaranteed Wldber has grievance. It had right to rely on the vigl- lance of the officials deputed by law to make monthly examination of the Treasurers accounts The Widber policy practically thlrty-day rlsk Unquestionably the corporation would have with drawn from the bond never issued 1t had Its otfl- cers supposed that the Mayor, Auditor Superior Judge were going to resort to netting the Treas uers money sacks or accepting them true to label The law says that they shall see and count the coin As matter of fact they neither saw counted it.
 Whether the failure of the Mayor, Auditor and Su- perior Judge to see and this money constitutes
 
 the Fidelity and Deposit Company is question of law in which the public will take lively inter est Whether 1t will be possible, in case the corpora ton succeed in avoiding its obligation, to make Mayor Phelan pay the shortage Is another question oi law in which the public will take even liveer in terest There is no difficulty, however, in reaching conclusion upon both questions in advance. We do not hesitate say that in Judgment the affair will wind up by the taxpayers standing the loss. Neither the surety company nor Mayor Phelan will pay; Auditor Broderick and Judge Bahrs cannot pay hav- ing nothing with which to pay, and as the taxpayers have plenty they will have to pay
 This result has been foreshadowed to extent by the course of Widber himself When he began stealing he considerably released his individual bondsmen and took out policy in foreign surety company This was very kind of him. Probably had he anticipated that Mayor Phelan might be held re- sponsibe he would have persuaded that gentleman to deed his property trustees and take out surety Evidently Widber intended to rob the taxpayers or the Maryland Surety Company-which seems to have been mmaterial
 One thing, however, may be considered certain If Mayor Phelan squrms when his liability becomes fxed-if it ever is ixed-he may we'll retire from politics An attempt to evade returning to the tax payers the S117ooo stolen by Widber will give to his public spirit and patriotism such sicely, mercenary hue that the push of all parties will speedily inter him in the political cemetery unwept, unhonored and un- sung.

THE GERMAN ATTITUDE.

| HILE- Great Britain has been prompt to re- \NI spond to the notice given by our Government
 of the existence of war with Spain other na- tons have been less regardul, and from Berlin the report that Germany, while observing a strict neutrality, will not at any time issue formal declara- ton that effect, having determined for itself perfect freedom of action
 In adopting this course the German Government follows the policy 1t pursued during the between Turkey and Greece. Perhaps there is some advan- tage in such position, which IS known to diplomat ists, although 1t is clear the eyes of outsiders Germany may have had interests to guard in the fight Crete that would have been jeoparded by for nal declaration of neutrality but 1t is not apparent to the world that she has any here that could be injured by her neutrality or bettered by her active in reference
 The attitude taken by the Berlin Government is exactly that outlined and advocated by German papers for some time past and the fact leads to the conclusion that the press must have been more or less inspired by high officers of state. Upward of week ago dispatches from Berlin gave an elab- crate review of an article in the Hamburger Nach- richten urging neutrality, but declaring German in- terests must be watched and closing with the state ment, German theoretic opposition to Monroeism can be practically enforced only when German inter- ests are at stake. which IS not now the case"
 It is worth noting that nearly all leading German papers, while adverse to American interference in Cuba, are the less that the sentiment of the large German population in the United States is as loyal to this Government and ardent in patriotic devotion the for which America fights as that of any other citizens of the country All of them moreover. recognize the importance of respecting in Germany the sentiment of the German-Americans Even the Nachrichtcn, while asserting the need of a close watch to protect German interests adds: At tention must be paid to the feelings of Germans in the United States" The sentiment of American citizens of German descent and the trade with the home cou- try growing of 1t is in fact of the greatest in Germany has in this hemisphere It is the one she should most carefully guard.
 Taking all things into consideration, the announced resolve of the Kaisers Government to issue no formal declaration of neutrality, but itself per- feet freedom of action, is hardly much more than a piece of diplomatic stage play. It sounds indeed like the voice of one who expects to be called on to ir- tererc before the fight is over, but the meaning may be quite different. At the present outlook at any rae German interference is as unlikely as that of Great Britain.

GUARDSMEN AND VOLUNTEERS.

A N interesting point in relation to the proposed / \ wholesale transfer of the National Guard or ganizations into the Volunteer Army is raised by the Brooklyn Eagle in the assertion that the menl bers of the National Guard cannot legally resign from that force in which they enlisted enter the Volunteer Army until their enlistment terms have expired.
 The point is of no practical importance at this ment, for the American people have rough and ready of overriding legal technicates when they stand in the way of any action on which the whole nation is resolved. Nevertheless the issue is worthy of consideration, for technicaities of law when brushed aside have a fashion of coming up at times in unexpected ways to torment a good many people I therefore there IS any obstacle of that kind in the way of transferring guardsmen into the Volunteer Army 1t ought to be removed by law, that 1t may never hereafter wrong injury to any citizen The Volunteer Army provided for by Congress is to be essentially different from the National Guard It IS organized for different purposes and is under different control. The man who enters the Volunteer Army retires by that act from the National Guard Nevertheless, the Secretary of War, in issuing his call upon the Governors of the various States for their quotas of volunteers says desired as far prac ticabe the National Guard be given the preference. This preference will of course be complied with by
 
 be encouraged. When this has been done, and the National Guard has faded away into the Volunteer Army, what force is to do the duty formerly attended to by the guard?
 The Eagle says the War Department is in the wrong "when it intimates that it will not accept the services of the National Guard unless it's members sign from their commands and enlist in the army with other volunteers who are coming in from all the country. It IS not clear, however how the War De- partment could have done otherwise The Govern ment wishes the guardsmen because they are better drilled than other citizens and because they are a- ready organized, but 1t accept them on differ ent terms from other volunteers who are to be their comrades to serve in the same regiments and often in the same companies.
 The angle IS not very serious one but it may give rise to complications later on, and the military authorities ought to straighten it out at once and make fair start The young hero who goes to the front cannot expect to understand everything in gard to his situation in the campaign in the battles that to come but he ought to be enabled to know whether he is volunteer or a guardsman

The prima donna has been making tour or the country with her own troupe, and she was everywhere received with as much prestige as if she had been a poten- tate visiting nation of faithful subjects. In the cities the civic authorities vied with one another in receiving her with the greatest pomp, but what will strike greater astonishment into the minds of Americans is the fact that the railroad companies entered into the most zealous competition to see which could claim the honor of having rendered Albani's transit over its line the most agreeable. At Vic toria the private car belonging to the Governor of the province was given over to Albani's use, and all over the country the best sleeping cars were placed gratis at the disposal of her and her troupe.

MUSIC AND MUSICIANS.

ters have telegraphed to the composer for the right to perform his work Clamorous crowds attended the five performances at Venice, where Dom Perosi conducted, and as the secular and royalst press was not likely to show any special favor to the work, on account of it's composers cloth, it is generally conceded that the eulogistic criticisms were due to the real beauty of the music. Dom Perosi, who is worn out with fatigue and the excitement attend ing his unexpected notoriety, has hitherto refused to entertain any propositions for performing his music abroad. He has, however, consented to go to Milan and conduct his oratorio some time during the second week in May.
