CHARACTER OF WILLIAM III.

No survey of German politics would
be complete that ignored the political
role played by the emperor, says
William c. Dreher in the Atlantic,
since he is the foremost politician OF
Germany, and is more upon the stage
tran any other. The successes of the
emperor as a politician, however,
were not very great during the past
year, In the case of the Anti-strike
bill and the canal bill he suffered two
humiliating defeats, having thrown
his influence openly and vigorously 10
favor Of both measures. The bearing
Of the emperor upon the defeat of the
canal bill affords a luminous view of
his character as a monarch. In pub
bic and in private he had evinced his
deep interest in the success of the
measure, and had even caused the
threat to De conveyed to such mem
bers Of the diet as held political offices,
that they should be placed npOn the
retired list if they voted against the
canal; through the chancellor he
clearly foreshadOWed the dissolution
Of the diet if the measure should be
rejected, and the threatened dissOlu-
ton did not follow Why? The en-
perOr is a mixed character contrary
currents show themselves in him.
Along with his undoubtedly genuine
interest in the economic progress of
Germany, he is filed with the ambi-
ton TO resuscitate an idea Of mon
archy which Germany has long dis
carded. He openly proclaims HIM
self a monarch by the grace OF God
alone, responsible to God alone, and
knowing no mundane responsibility.
The conservatiVes-mo exactly the
landed aristocracy-are the only ele-
ment of the people in which such ideas
find any favor at all; the liberal and
other bourgeois parties incline more
TO English ideas of monarchy Now,
to have dissolved the diet and appeal
ed to the country to help him crush
the reactionary enemies of the canal
would have meant sharp break with
all the traditions of the Hohenzollern
line. 1t would have amounted to turn
ing down the aristocracy, and the
ushering in of a more liberal regime
in Prussia; but it would also have
been equivalent to an abandonment OF
the more absolutistic pretensions OF
the monarch. The aristocratic enemies
of the canal calculated that the en-
peror was not the man TO inaugurate
such a revolution; and the result
shows that they gagged him correctly.
The emperor contented himself as
best he could with disciplining the
political officials who voted against
the canal,-and that was all. In view
of this incident, together with the
emphatic rejection of the anti-strike
bill by the reichstag, it must be ad-
mitted that the prestige of the EN-
peror as the political leader Of Ger
many was not increased in 1899. The
progressive people Of ne country
have seen that his interest in the eco
Inomic development Of [ 3rmany, how
ever sincere it may be, takes second
place to higher nterest.-William C.
Dreher in Atlantic.

INDIAN FAMINE RELIEF.

The Indian famine relief fund, init
ated by the mayor of London on Feb
ruary Is, with s250,000 subscribed at
the Mansion House, was increased han
idly by a check Of $4,000 from the
queen and smaller contributions Som
others, SO that at present it exceeds
half million dollars. AS nearly
100000 persons are being kept alive
by the Indian government and the
famine affects an area of 450. 900 square
miles and a population of 10000 ,0OO,
large provision is needed over and
above what is provided by the state in
the way of extra food and comfor's,
the maintenance of orphans and prov j.
sion of agricultural implements AND
cattle for those who have lost all by
the famine. The want of rain has
blasted the agriculture of some of the
native states as well as some of those
under direct British rule, and people Of
all India are aiding their government
with subscriptions, the princess taking
a leading part Two weeks ago at Cal
cutta subscriptions aggregated 49,
600 rupees. But the task of caring for
so many millions is an enormous one
and appeals to philanthropy every
where. The funds being raised for the
widows and orphans made by the war
in south Aria attracts a large share of
the attention Of the English charitabl
public. This fund already amounts to
nearly 100000, and there are nu-
merous other funds for disabled SOL
diers, etc, which absorb the money
which in peace times would go TO re-
lieve the sufferers from the famine in
India.

EASTER WEEK
Fair Will Be Held at the Auditorium
 By the Ladies

A very enthusiastic meeting of the Ladies' Auxiliary Association of St. Vincenps hos pltal was held Friday morning in the par lors of the Florence hotel to discuss the Fair to be given Easter week at the Audi toruun.
 The space will allow room for booths that will represent many nations, to be presided over by charming matrons and beautiful young women, who will work for sweet charity's sake.
 The next regular monthly meeting will be the first Thursday i'm March. All mem bers are requested to attend, and ladies vino interested in charity work are cordially invited to be present.
 As St. Vincent's hospital is non-sectarian, so is the Ladies' Auxiliary Society, organ ized to assist as far as possible in furnish ing the six charity wards, namely: Two for white male and female, two for colored male and female. and two for chronic cases, making room for fifty, which will be adequate for Birmingham's present needs. For this about 5000 is needed and the Ladies Auxiliary hope to realize this amount from the fair Easter week.

MAKING VOTES FOR
 SENATOR MORGAN 
Action of Executive Committee
 on Senatorial Question.
CONVERTS ARE PLENTIFUL
Committeeman Mitchell Has Come Into the Morgan Camp-Mr. Tomlin- sons Fight for Direct Vote
 Gains for Him Friends.

The fact that the county executive com mittee at it's meeting last Wednesday re- fused to allow the people of Jefferson coun- ty to vote direct for United States sena- tor in the April primary is causing a great deal of unfavorable criticism among those who are not strong partisans of Governor Johnston. Some of his friends, who are disposed to be fair-mhnded, have stated since the meeting that the committee should have ordered a direct vote and let the man who secures the largest number of votes take the delegation from the county.
 This particular action of the committee seems to have met with the disapproval of large element of the democratic party and numerous conversions to the cause of Senator Morgan are reported as the re- suit of the committees failure to allow the voters to express their preference for United States senator. One of the com mitteemen who was present at the meet ing and voted to table the minority report ordering a direct vote, it Is stated on good authority, has since joined the Morgan club. E. IA. Mitchell, one of the commit teemen for the Bessemer beat and who is on the primary arrangement committee, placed his name on the Morgan club roll Friday night. In the meeting last Wednes- day he voted for direct vote for governor but opposed direct vote for United States senator.
 The primary arrangement committee con- sists of five. members, and when appointed To. fo1 of them are now for Senator Morgan and ome other is said to be very luke-warm supporter of the governor. The members of the arrangement committee are Walter Moore chairman; E. A. Mitchell, R. J. Waldrop J. s. Kennedy, c. P. Beddow. MT. Kennedy was one of the Morgan lead CTS at the meeting of the executive commit tee last Wednesday. He introduced a reso- lution providing for an increase of the com mttee from five to nine members, in order that the minority might have representa- tion on it. This resolution was voted down.
 MT Tomlinson's fight for direct vote and his victory has made him many friends in the county and elsewhere in the state. If the most commonly heard expressions are an index to the sentiment of the people very large majority of the democrats of Jefferson county want a chance to vote di- rect for all state officers, as well as county officers.
