Young Men for War.

The numerous tenders to the
government OF service from men who
served in the Federal or Confederate
army during the civil war may be
we'll enough as showing the patriotic
feelings Of these veterans, but they
can hardly be accepted as valuable
for any other purpose. There are
e ;ceptions, of course, but in general
the veterans Of the last war are too
old to bear the brunt of the next,
even if it should break out immed-
lately.
General Joseph Wheeler, of Ala
bama, for example, has reminded the
president that he has rendered his
services in case Of war. He is one of
the younger Of the Confederate gen.
erals who attained distinction during
the war, but he is in the 62d year of
his age. OF course, it cannot be said
that General Wheeler, or other men
OF his age, might not be useful as
officers IN the event Of a war But
men OF the same age who followed
them in the ranks would not be
accepted as private soldiers, being
far beyond the age of enlistment.
Even General Wheeler is approach
ing the age at which our generals are
retired from service under existing
regulations. Il is true, nevertheless,
that much older men have held i'm
portanG commands and acquitted
themselves well.
The ordinary military age is from
Is to 45. A veteran who ,wass18 in
1861 is now 53 years old. 1t is not
by men Of 53 and upward that the
bulk Of the fighting in a new war would
have to bedone. There are, ofcourse,
number of cases where boys of Is
went into the army, but these are
exceptions; and the boy who was 16
IN 1861 is now man Of 81 years Of
age. Many of the sons of veterans
are mlddle-aged men now and many
of their grandsons are old enough to
fight and quite ready to shed their
blood in the cause OF the country.
The veteran officers of the Federal
and Confederate armies could mot be
expected to participate in war unless
commissions were given them, and
this would depend largely upon
others. Doubtless some of them
would receive commissions that the
country might have the benefit Of their
experience. But it would be alto
gether in accordance with experience if
younger officers, allowed for the first
time to show the mettle that is in
them, should forge ahead and attain
the supreme command. At the be-
ginning of the civil war General Scott,
already the hero of two wars, was at
the head Of the United States army.
Who then had heard OF Grant, al
though he had served honorably in
the war with Mexico? General Scott
did not remain long, and was sue
ceeded by one man after another
comparatively unknown at the out
break of hostilities, until Grant
reached the chief command and put
an end to the war. Such a thing is
likely to happen again, unless the
war should be mainly naval one,

1t has been held that consumption
is hereditary, and the fact that one
person of a family had died with con.
sumption was considered sure sign
that others of that family could not
escape it. This is partly true and
partly untrue. A man with weak
lungs is likely 10 transmit that weak
ness 10 his children. But there is no
reason in the world why the weak
ness sh )uld be allowed to develop.
Keep the lungs full Of rich, red,
wholesome blood, and the weakness
will disappear Decaying tissues will
be thrown off, and new material will

is the point for July l, 1890, and so on 4 The center of the figure is the mean position of the north pole for the seven ' and half years under consideration. Ina 1890 the pole made about seven eighths A of circuit around it's mean position; in 1891 but little more than three ' fourths of circuit, while in 1892 nearly < the entire revolution was effected. The A two circles drawn at 0.3 and 04 sec onds of latitude from the mean pole% give the scale of the figure, the radii% of these circles being 305 and 407 feet 4 respectively.
 It should be noted that the north pole, which may be defined as the north< end of the earth's axis, does not really z move, since the axis remains parallel 4 to itself throughout the year. but it is the earth which moves with respect to$ the axis 1t Is more convenient, howl ever, to speak of the pole as in motion < and the figure shows it's path relative :. to the earth surface.
 The practical consequence of this% strange phenomenon is to cause a cont tinual variation in the observed lati-4 tudes of all points of the earth's sur < face, for latitude expresses the angularY distance from a point to the equator, ' and of course the equator moves with : the pole, the plane of the equator being 4 always perpendicular to the axis. For example, suppose that a certain point*

 The lines radiating from the center :. of the figure show the directions to ther cities whose observatories furnished the< data for deriving the curve. Of course : all these directions are south.

The observations at Honolulu < were conducted simultaneously by the International Association and by the< United States Coast and Geodetic Sur-< vey from June, 1891. to July, 1892; sim A ultaneously others were made by the '.

of admitting the right of the people to govern themselves. When it came to that he always let it be understood that the army was at the door of the Reichstag. Accordingly individualism was repressed; paternalism was sub stituted; and in respect to political civ ilization, the last state of the German people is worse than the first.
 It was the irony of fate that Bis marck himself should have perished at the hands of the monster which he had built up. There is a human pathos in his appeal to the constitution and to public opinion against the maSterful- ness of his young master" but there is also a political retribution. The Kaiser treated this appeal, when it was made by Bismarck, as Bismarck had taught him to treat it-as Bismarck himself had been accustomed to treat it when it was made by the representa- tiVes of the German people. The world at large is under no debt to Bismarck It is not better or freer or happier be- cause he has lived in it. What even Germany owes to him it must be left for the future to determine, but 1t is already plain that against this debt there are heavy offsets and abate- ments.
 In spite of the enormous space he filled in his own time, and of the enor- nous force he displayed, he can scarce ly be ranked among the great men of the world. The measure of the great ness of these men was the extent of their "cO-OperatiOn with the real ten dency of the world" The measure of Bismarck's strength was the extent to which he succeeded in obstructing this tendency.

homely summing up, but it expressed with unusual simplicity the popular es- timate of his character. He was big in every way one of the biggest men of his time Great Mir. Gladstone did not call him, because greatness in his estimation implied a moral element chiefly conspicuous for its absence in the politics of Prince Bismarck. But he was as big as he was interruptions.
 "The Italian, Chevalier Nigri, de-, scribed him more elaborately than MT. Gladstone as kind of embodied Shakespeare, a continent of humanity, embracing every variety of mind and. mood This early Goth, with the cul- ture of our time, is the most interest ing and most incomprehensible figure in modern history. No wonder that Emilio Castelar,, the supreme rhetori- elan of Europe. himself the embodiment of all the antitheses of the great Ger man Empire maker, remarked that the species of men to which Bismarck belongs is fading out and becoming eX- tinct.'
 He was great, he was unique, weariless worker, who never feared the face of man. The initial quality of greatness was born with him. Born with him, also, was that tireless en- ergy, that marvellous initial force which never failed, which made him the power-house of the German race. Time brings not back the mastodon, and another Bismarck Is not to be ex- pected in the twentieth century
 "These tributes of foreigners hardly keep us to the right realization of the secret of Bismarck's character. We shall find a more helpful clew in the pregnant phrase by the University of

Giessen in the document conferring upon him the degree of doctor of divin- ity Therein he Is addressed as the great, unique man, who never wearies, never loses courage and fears no one but God That is Prince Bismarck as he looms gigantic before the German.
 Some years ago Bismarck said: Tn Germany we have no national church, but might not the idea of the nation be the sanctuary round which all parties should gather?' He served his country as Loyola served the church. His sense of the service he owed to Germany was supreme. He who reproaches me for being statesman devoid of conscience does me a wrong And he explained how he reconciled his unscrupulosity in politics with the good conscience which he undoubtedly enjoyed. I follow out a plan with a perfectly calm conscience which l consider useful to my country and to Germany. As to means to this

the 'ideologists'' could not have been realized without this business man." From his own point of view his success was unmiXed. He found his country not higher than fifth in the list of European powers. It would be hard to find a good German" who would ad- init that he has left her even the sec ond
 This was not a success that came of any of the modern political forces that have come into the world. It was not the result of free discussion or of con- stltutlonal government. It was a sue cess of blood and iron" It was a sue cess of diplomacy, too, in the Bis marekian sense. No statesman ever knew better how and when to appeal to the Interests or even the sentiments or others, nor, when it suited him, to manage their susceptibilities. But in the last analysis German unity was achieved under Bismarck by the same means by which the Prussian mon archy was built up under Frederick, by having not only the best-disciplined army, but the best disciplined nation Tn Europe. The scattered municipalities were welded into one powerful empire by the same means by which the great empires of history were established.
 It was not to be supposed that a statesman whose method had achieved such success would abandon it when the success had been achieved. And. In fact. the German pire under Bis
 marck followed the traditions of the Prussian monarchy. He could skill fully caJole the leaders of parliament tary opposition. But in the last resort he governed by force, which it never became necessary for him actually to use. The knowledge that he possessed 1t was enough both for him and for those who opposed him, and opposition was not carried beyond the danger point. ''The consent of the governed" was of no more necessity in Bismarck's scheme of politics than in Julius Cae- sar's. Accordingly. paternalism took the place of individualism, and took the form of state socialism" What in more modern communities are held to
 be the rights of the people came to them in Bismarck's Germany as
 "graces" from the throne. He was anxious to allay popular discontent in every way except the one needful way

retained in the class to which he be- longed the utmost possible supremacy. The ideal of the one was such growth throughout the empire Of common rights, interests, responsibilities as should create national unity and not only permit but stimulate general progress, his conception of Providence being that it's beneflcence would ad- vance with the advance Of freedom. The ideal of the other was the growth of a mighty nation, guided unquestion- ably by Providence, but by Providence acting through the agency of the throne, surrounded by the class of which he himself was the leader. The one believed himself a representative, the other believed himself a ruler. Thus the one sought to disarm discomfort by reforms, the other to crush 1t with the mailed hand. The one labored to ex- tend British prosperity and influence throughout the world by opening all markets to the trade in which he trust ed his nation to get its share. The other planned Q. policy of commercial extension by colonization and exclusive privileges.
 Tt must be said however, In making this comparison, that Gladstone de- veloped the application of national policy and principle though to limited degree recognized, while Bismarck was compelled to deal with novel conditions and few will question that the genius of the latter, surpassed that of the former or that the impress of Bis marck's individuality on the history of his time was more distinct and deeper. We may hold that the tendencies of the human race which Gladstone rep resented are more potent and enduring
