A Royal Priest.

Prince Max, Of Saxony, recently ap-
pointed Bishop of Kuhn, is said to he
the only person Of royal birth now IN
holy orders. A few years ago the Prilce
suddenly resigned his commission as a
cavalry officer in the German army and
betook himself to the cloister or sem
mary at Eichstatt, asking there for ad.
mission in order that he might Study
for the priesthood. His uncle, the King
Of Saxony, in vain urged him 20 give
up his purpose. In the seminary he
endured without complaint all the re-
strictions imposed by the rules, declln-
ing to be favored by ahy relaxation of
discipline, even when his health was
affected by the strain Of unaccustome6
privations. After leaving Eichstatt the
Prince went to London as a missionary
priest, laboring there in that part Of the
Whitechapel district where poverty
most abounds. Having been raised to
the Office Of bishop he will soon, 1t is
said, be elevated to the College of Car
dinals. The last imperial prince hold
ing the office Of cardinal was Archduke
Leopold of Austria.

The War Department has in contem-
plation the use of the two big trans
ports now being fitted out at Cramps
for the conveyance of troops on the
Pacific service. 1t is said that when
they have served their purpose in con-
veying the permanent garrisons to
Cuba they will be dispatched to Manila
by way of the Suez Canal In such case
they will take several thousand troops
to replace te volunteers there. After
that the Mississippi and her sister
ship will ply between Manila and San
Francisco, supplementing the trans
port service now operated there by the
government. They can be easily spared
from the Atlantic coast, after the Cuba
garrisons are once established, in view
of the small demands for transporta-
ton in that quarter as compared with
the prospective demands in the Phil
ippines. These vessels, like the Mobile,
will each afford accommodations for

at the War Department, have been so

DATES IN CALIFORNIA.

The Merchants Review publishes
the following in regard to statement
recently made in the California Fruit
Grower in regars to the raising of
dates:
"The California Fruit Grower IRON
ically observes of the report that the
cultivation of dates is to begin in
California, that the new fruit will be
ready about the first of the year.
when new calendars are out See
what wonderful reputation for fe-
cundity California has, when it is cred
tied with producing the desert-pro-
ducing date, luscious citric fruits, the
tart prune, the blushing grape and
pulpy fig. besides peaches, pears, ap-
ricots and nuts galore. But the limo
should be drawn at dates. Dates, or.
anges and grapes mix all right in the
grocery store. but they can't well be
grown in the same orchard"
The Review appears to forget that
the climate and soil of this state are
exceedingly varied. There is no doubt
that there are a few limited regions
in the Colorado desert, and perhaps
in other sections of the interior where
dates may be profitably raised on q
commercial scale. although it is not
at all probable that date culture will
ever become one of the important hor-
ticultural industries of Southern Cal
ifOrnia.

Not since the return of our troops
from the civil war, thirty three years
ago, has the halo of militarism shone so
brightly in America. The soldier Is
the hero of the day. His welcome
home has been so sincere, so spontane-
GUS, that the fever-stricken camp. the
terrors of jungle warfare, the weary
days and nights Of exposure are forgot
ten. Brass buttons, chevrons and
epaulets command the respect and ad-
miration of the public. This is but a
taste Of the state of affairs which ex-
lists all over Europe. But abroad the
worship Of the priest Of Mars, the god
of war, is not temporary, not the result
Of great achievements, of victories
won. 1t is the result Of habit. Eng
land has had a glorious exhibition of
what her trained soldiers can do when
pitted against dervishes, who know
no defeat, who disregard the honor of
warfare, who fear death in, no shape
whatever, who wreak their vengeance
on the dead and the wounded. Sir
Herbert Kitchener furnishes but an
other example Of the superiority of
Anglo-Saxon grit and perseverance.
But England's worship Of her soldiers
expresses the feeling which every
European has when he sees the uni
form of his country's defenders. The
red jacket Of the English soldier, the
cockade Of the French private, the
corded blouse Of the German guard,
the high-top boot of the Russian Of
ficer-all arouse the patriotism of the
European to fever heat. But the peo-
pie pay dear for their bauble. TO sus-
tain the military department, to fur
nish glittering uniforms, to equip
armies and navies, to pay the naughty
officers, and their still more naughty
subordinates, the common people are
burdened with heavy weight of taxes,
their sons are drafted, their substance
confscated. But the great burden Of
taxes is not the only injustice. The
bandage Is torn from the eyes Of JUS
tice herself, and she is compelled to
deal partially with the soldier. Two
years ago an officer in the German
army brutally murdered common citi-
zen without cause. The officer received
the severe punishment of three years
Imprisonment; but the Kaiser could
not calmly look on while a soldier of
his was so degraded, so the officer has
just been released by Wilhelm, after
serving but two years. In Europe the
soldier Is amenable to no law but the
military law, which law he must obey
implicitly. If 1t demand that he sink
honor, manliness, character, there is no
alternative; If it require that he forge
letters he has no choice. If it consign
the innocent to suffer, he cannot rem
onstrate. He is a mere automa ton; his
pleasures, his opinions, belong to the
state. Army officers direct him; the
common people respect him; he is blest
of the gods, and woe to the citizen who
does not fall down blindly Hefore the
Moloch of militarism. America Is
proud Of her defenders. Their slightest
wish Is law, be that wish reasonable.
But the public will never tolerate in
justice. or brutality, even in a soldier
America has formulated her laws ac-
cording to the best light she has, and
they apply to every citizen in this re-
