BIsMARCK'S LETTERS.

The Nachrichten says a lot of pri-
vate letters from the late Prince Bis
marck to General Won Mantuffel, then
governor of the reichland, containing
spicy items of court and political Cos
sip, were sold on Won Manteuffels
death to a Berlin banker having pro-
ftable business relations with the en-
peror and court. The banker, it is
added, paid 10000 marks for the let
ters. A Leipzig writer recently wanted
to use the letters for a historical work,
and the banker at first promised to lend
them. Later, however. he refused, on
the plea that it would cost him his

NEW GERMAN CABLE.

The establishment of a company to
lay a direct cab.e between Germany and
the United States now seems definitely
assured. The capital, 20,000,000 marks,
has been furnished by a number of
banks and private capitalists, including
the duke of Ratibor. The German
government is understood to be favor
ing this and other cable enterprises,
and the reichstag will be asked to
make various appropriations IN return
for presumption privileges.
The Deutsche Zeitung concludes an
article on the subject as follows: Thus
the first step is taken to free Germany
from the British cable monopoly, which,
in the event of war, might become

With reference to the gambling bill
in the reiChStag, a story is told show
ing the emDeror's intense hatred of
gambling When he was crown prince
and in command of the garde de corps,
he strictly prohibited it. and old EN-
peror William asked him to withdraw
his orders. But the grandson re0lied:
LAS long as you entrust me with the
command of the regiment, 1 will not do
So / would rather ask you to relieve
me of my post"
The debates showed that in spite of
the emperor's efforts gambling is still
much in vogue among the officers of
the German army.

GOOD RAN GONE WRONG.

One of the most remarkable instances
os a strong man torn away from his in
teilectual and party mornings is that of
Col. Watterson, Of the Courier Journal.
For twenty-five years the colonel has
been the beau sabreur of Democracy. His
blade has flashed ever in the fore front
of the battle and his was a voice of in
spiration to every true man in the Dem
ocratic ranks
OF late the colonel has gone wrong
The star-eyed goddess has forsaken him.
He is now mostly the object of imperial
list praise, mingled occasionally with a
little contempt. His friends of old have
but liberation, and not much of that, to
extend toward him. Nowhere is the colo
mel received with the old-time enthusi-
asm. His opinions are not sought and,
like most of those whose opinions are not
held in especial esteem, the colonel seems
very lavish of his. But as they are usually
couched in explanatory terms they are
not as much a subject of concern to the
world as they once were.
When not explaining why he entertains
certain opinions Col. Watterson is usual
ly busy in unfolding expansion, some
times known as Imperialism; in minimiz-
ing the significance of the trust growth
in denouncing free silver at any ratio
in sneering at W. J. Bryan and abusing
the rank and file Of the Kentucky Democ-
racy. There are 'niggers" in Kentucky
and they are mostly Republicans This
appears to be the only reason left why
the colonel does not avow himself a Re-
publican, support the Republican ma
chine in Kentucky and thus increase
somewhat the degree of respect which
attaches to him in his political relations
One of the colonePs Republican friends
and allies recently turned on him and
told him how inconsistent and unreason-
able he was in giving even a nominal sup
port to the Democratic state ticket in
Kentucky. The colonel forthwith pro-
ceeds to indict one of his interminable
explanatory essays, which he brings to a
close in the following superb burst of
bumor:
Go to, dear friend of Chicago, go to-.
Take good care of your own fences,
sweetheart, our fencing is all right. Be
tween the still-house and the hog-pen
there are a good many things in Ken
lucky politics that are not dreamt of in
thy philosophy, old sport; and, as the
Archbishop of Canterbury observed to the
Pope of Rome, here's howl
The colonel was always disposed to be
jocose even in the most serious situations,
fact which helps to explain the cir
cumstance that the above is by far the
best portion of the two columns of type
from which it is taken. But if the colonel
would put his fences in a state of per-
Eanent repair by enclosing himself
within the Republican pasture, the occa-
sions at once for explanations and hu-
NOR would disappear, Col Watterson
would be on better terms with all around
him and doubtless on no worse terms
with himself

LAyRIER,s nLUNDER

He who excuses accuses" The poll
tician who explains is incapable of max
ing himself understood, and should seek
another vocation.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier may explain from
now till doomsday He will continue to
be looked upon by the American people,
with that irreverence peculiar to them,
as a man who made a bluff without the
means of making his bluff good.
When a provincial politician goes off on
his own accord to talk about war with a
nation like the United States, or indeed.
with any nation, he shows himself to be
in need of a guardian. He has no under
standing of his real position, and he as
sumes the task of tickling the ears of
the groundlings at the risk of secrifcing
his own reputation for intelligence. This
is what Mr. Laurier has done; and not
all the waters of Lethe will wipe out the
stain that he has left on his own ca
pacity for state affairs by doing so.
Whatever consideration it is which
makes it appear so essential to the well
fare Of the Dominion to secure a port
in Alaska, they have succeeded in going
about the task in the wrong way. The
bullyism which they resorted to in con-
nection with the sealing fisheries was
comparatively effective; and doubtless it
was thought that it would be equally eff
fective in this case. But conditions off
fer. And where Laurier made a show OF
himself as politician was in undertake
ing to talk about war with the United
States without getting permission of his
mother, England
There will probably be neither war nor
arbitration, and, as result, Mr. Laurier
will be shown to be of as little worth as
a prophet as he is as a statesman.

ever, does not depend upon horse-play or
upon any of the cheap devices Of farce

GIVE us A CENSORSHIP.

Unless some serious steps are taken to
secure the censorship of our home press
there is certain to be trouble very soon.
Not all postal officials are as watchful
of the interests Of the administration
which gave them their appointments as

sorship department Of his own, and
promptly throws out such papers as con-
tain what in his official judgment is

being given by returned volunteers and
others familiar with the situation over

perialist sheet is liable any day to be
deceived into publishing reasonable mat

was invested with the duties of censor
ship, SO long only as the officials charged
with the work were competent to dis
tinguish treason to the flag when they
saw it in print. Unless something of
this kind is determined on it would be
proper for the executive to issue at inter
walls detailed statements specifying just
the extent to which editors and politicians
and recently discharged soldiers may
go in their criticism Of the ad-
ministration without rendering them
selves amenabIe to prosecution for
treason with the resulting consequences
Of confiscation of property and civil
rights.
1t is not altogether just. even in a
state Of war, that well-meaning editors
and publishers, especially If they are i'm
perialistic in politics. should be rendered
liable to have their publications refused
transmission through the mails. OF
course it would be idle to extend any
such consideration to publications whose
political tendencies are Anown to be trea-
sonable. But in view of the retention
Of Gen. Otis in command at Manila, and
of the resulting prolongation of the war,
at least until we are fairly embarked
in the forthcoming presidential campaign,
something should certainly be done
What a serious embarrassment 1t would
be to our imperialist contemporaries in
case they felt called on to publish, for in
stance, an unduly incendiary speech by
any of such established traitors as Will
lam Jennings Bryan, Senator Hoar, or
that abandoned Scotehman, Andrew Car
negie, to find as result that their read
ers were deprived, perhaps for a week or
more, of the privilege of reading the ia
miliar affidavit of circulation.

UNFOLDING law AND ORDER

The state of Kentucky enjoys that one
grand requirement to the maintenance
of law and order-a Republican executive.
Yet in the state Of Kentucky law and or
der Just at this time seem to be some
what at a discount. Clay county, in the
Blue Grass state, has practically dis
pensed with all consideration for the
agencies of the law, and it is declared
that an epidemic of nervousness prevails
among the people. 1t is a form of nerv-
BUSINESS, too, which finds as its only pal
liative the possession of firearms.
There are few leading families in
Kentucky which have kindly assumed ali
the expense and risk of carrying on gov
eminent. Among them are the Whites,
the Phillpots, the Towards and the Nor
rises. For the maintenance of their idea
of law and order they respectively march
in battle array, and dispense justice with
out the foolish formality of judges or
juries, each man acting as his own exc
cutioner when the occasion is favorable
Some extremely bitter wag repeated the
practical joke Of issuing over the tele-
phone an order for calling out the militia
in the name of this Republican executive
with whom the state of Kentucky is
blessed, and when the joke was discov-
cred and the soldiers ordered to their
homes the obligation was imposed
on this thoughtful executive to de-
clare publicly that if the joker in ques-
ton were ever discovered he would be
dealt with as severely as the law would
allow.

2S-President Pierrola today opened con-
gress. The house was crowded with
members of the ministry, with officers
OF the law, delegates and the general
public. President Pierrola read his mes
sage. He said that the relations of Peru
with other nations were peaceful; that
the government had accepted the invita-
tons extended to Peru to take part in
international congresses during the past
year; that a special mission had been
sent to Bolivia to strengthen the union
between the two countries. Consider
able disappointment was felt at the fail
ure to reincorporate the Acena and africa,

given it by the CHILEAN government, and
the commercial interests involved rem
der 1t undoubted that a permanent and
satisfactory conclusion of the matter
will be arrived at
The message also says that the revo-
lutionary movement which has been go
ing on IS gradually succumbing, more be-
fore the resistance of the people than
through the efforts of the soldiery. Peru,
PRESIDENT Pierrola added, had made great
progress economically, the commercial
business of the year exceeding that of
the previous year by more than 100000
soils. The public treasury condition was
much improved. The budget for 1900, he
said, presents no deficit
At the conclusion of his message Presi-
dent Pierrola was enthusiastically APP
