Exaltation of the Hohen.oIlerns.

Germany leaves the direction of her foreign affairs to the emperor and trusts that the sovereign VIII do the best he can, choose the most able coun- selors he can find, and that he will be prompt as we'll as prudent. Since all he does for the nation he does also for himself, for his own greatness and glory, for the splendor of lis family, and for the future of his children and posterity, all his interests depend upon and are included in the success of Ger man policy and the welfare of Germany. The house of Hohenzollern never can be separated from the fortunes of the nation. Therefore, the nation may safely confide its fortunes to the house of Hohen7oliern; and, even ROW, when public opinion.has evidently taken quite different view of things from that of the emperor, or at least from that which he seems to hold. no public organ would propose, TOT would the reichstag itself wish, to alter the German constitution with regard to this particular point.- Prof. Delbruck, in NorthAmerican- Re

BRITISH PENSIONS:
The Elaborate Systems That Has Been Adopted to Reward Heroes or
 Their Families.

A British officer who loses limb or an'eye at once receives sum equivalent to years pay and the price of an arti- ficial limb. A year later he may be granted a permanent annual pension, graduated according to his rank. A lieutenant general receives S2,c00; a major general, S1,750; colonel, 1,500; a major, $1,OO0; a captain $500, and a subaltern, $350. When the officer is wounded very severely he may receive a gratuity, varying from three to twelve months pay; and if the injury is likely to be permanent, he will receive a pension of One-half that granted to his rank for the loss of limb or an eye.
 These pensions and gratuities, known in gloomy pleasantries in the British army as "blood money" are additional 10 the ordinary pensions which off, cers are entitled to in the normal course of events. The widows and chil- dren of officers are not technically en- titled to pensions; they receive them as a matter of grace and not of right. Take the case of the widow and chil- dren of a colonol If he dies from the effects of a campaign the widow receives $75O. and each child $10o per year. but if he is killed in action or dies ot his wounds she draws $1.O00 and each child $r20 annually. The scale for killed and died of wounds runs thus: X majors widow draws $7o0; acaptain's $500; subaltern's $400, their children varying from s125 to s175.-Cincinnati Euouirer.

The Contest for National Committee
man Returned TO the Territory.
Last evening Mr.. W. F. Bow
man received telegram from DIR.
Wolverton, who attended the mott
fication, meeting in indianapolis
yesterday, stating that The Indian
Territory contest will be referred
back to the people for decision.
In a letter previously written to
friend here DIR. WolvertOn stated
that this would be the probable
disposition of the matter, as Mar
cum had refused to accede to any
proposition for a settlement of the
contest and the committee did not
feel justified in deciding the, mat
ter arbitrarily themselves.
Local interest is now centered IN
the time and manner in which ii
will again come before the people,
but it is probable that the sub
committee of the national commit
tee will fix tie time and manner oi
deciding the question on sugges
tions of parties interested. An
other convention for the purpose
of choosing the committeeman and
executive committee seems thu
more probable course, as that vii
be in regular form and according
to precedent.
