 THE Von WaIdersee's depart INDISCREET ure for China are over. WILLIAM. The emperor is not q
 very discreet person and he has been talking too freely about the part that the German army is to play in China. The powers have accepted the count as commander-in- chief with less friction than might have been anticipated but this does not mean that they recognize the superiority ot Prussian officers to all others. or that the Germans enjoy the only adequate military system in the world. Such as sertions are calculated to irritate the other governments concerned, and to make the counts own task the harder. It is also injudicious on the part of William to talk so effusively about the czar. That he makes his power felt throughout the continent of Asia" may be true enough, but it would be wise to take this for granted and say noth- ing. Anything that looks like an alli- ance between Germany and Russia at the expense of the other powers will not allay the distrust already apparent in the Chinese campaign. and threatens injury to the common interests of the western world.

the most obvious deduction from the published figures is that the natural native increase is being exceeded by the tide of immigration. American families are not as large as they were formerly. Another thing that the fig ures reveal is that there is still d marked tendency on the part of the people to flock to the cities.

man OF the National Committee OF the Populist

Vice-President by the Democratic National Con-

David B. Hill for Vice-President interested and
amused Mr.. Hills friends here to-day Knowing
as they do that Mr. Hill does not desire thu
nomination, and could not be forced to take it
they say that Senator Buffers harassing anxiety
lest Mr.. Hill should accept It is highly ludicrous
One Of Mr.. HIS friends. after expressing mis-
amusement over Senator Buffers statement,
added:
1t is a rather remarkable exhibition OF politi-
cal audaCity on the part OF the chairman OF the
Populist party 10 assert that the Democratic
party must nominate a Silver Republican for
Nlce-Presldent- Who is running the Democratic
party, anyhow-the FOpUlists or the DernOcrats2
Mr. Hill cannot be forced to accept the Demo-
cratic nomination for Vice President for he is
IN no such position as he was In September,
1894. when forced to accept the Demoeratio
nomination for Governor OF New-YOrk IN the
face of inevitable defeat. Then he had
ceived high hOnOrs from his Fellow Democrats.
He had been elected Governor and Senator by
them, and they had a right 10 demand sacri-
fee of him.
1t is thought highly probable here by promI-
nent Democrats that an attempt will be made
at Kansas City TO nominate either Admiral
Dewey or Admiral Schley for Vice-Presidenr
rather than to take any civilian from New
York or any other State for that nomination.
If any civilian Of this State is drafted il is be-
