German consul has been ousted from

American and British colleagues OF
the CondOminum has caused consid-

is also occupying the most careful at

decision is that Germany is firmly re-
solved in tho solution of the matter to
adhere strictly to the terms of the
treaty of Berlin. Should it be found
that the German consul deviated from
the provisions of the treaty he will he

the foreign office officials point out it

It is fortunate for the country that
the founders of the republic left all III
honors open to the poor. Some Of the
men who have attained very high
rank in craftsmanship had no capacity
to save money, and lived and died in
poverty. There has been more than
one great senator who never paid
taxes on an assessment Of $4,000, and
who never owned a home. And there
have been very few great statesmen in
this country whose names graced the
lists of heavy taxpayers.
