German Colonization.
Bismarck Founded 1t.

The German Chancellor made the
yelling Of Bismarcks statue In Berlin
occasion, not merely of eulogy of
great statesman, but also Of sort of az
logia for Germany's course since Prin -
Bismarck aoas dimissed by the Emperor.
Here the crucial point OF difference is the
modern expansion of Germany over sea.
1t is, of course, possible to quote Bismarck
on both sides Of the question of a colonial
policy. The beginnings of German coloni-
cation ia South Africa acre, in fact, his
own. Yet it was he also who secretly egged
the French on in Tunis AID Cochin China,
for the express purpose, as he said to his
intimates with chuckle, of inducing them
to disslpate their wealth and military
strength.

Nc Too PIatt
Will Not Return To Senate.

Senator Platt's announcement that he
will not accept reelection to the United
States Senate when his term expires in
1908 has not surprised the Republican
politicians; nor would they be much aur-
prised if the Senator followed up this an
nouncement with another declaring his in
tention to resign before the end of his
term. Those who have talked with him
lately say they even expect that he will
decide not to spend another winter in
Washington. The climate of the capital
has rot agreed with him; the journeys to
and from Washington, particularly lest
winter, were too exhansting, and it is said
that he has been Oh the point of resigning
omre than once since last December.

Boston Gentleman Writes Entertain

mie-Moneyed Men Enthusiastic
Over Future of the City.

The Republican has been permitted
to copy the following paragraphs from
a letter received by Prof. William Mar
quardt from his old friend and com
panion, Herbert Peabody, of Boston.
whose brothers are in business in this
city. The first part of the letter is
personal, and refers to trips the two
gentlemen have taken hunting and fish
ing, the writer expressing regret that
he cannot join his friend this summer
and autumn. He says:
1T is getting neal the time when
| would like to pack my grip and set
sail for Laramie to spend the sum-
mer, and also near the time hen
shall envy you with your rig, in which
| shall imagine you hitting many a
road this year looking for change of
scene"
The paragraphs referred to relate to
business matters, and will be of es-
pecial interest, now that the fruition
of the hopes of the Van Horn-Miller
Cooperative trust seem so near to real
ization. Mr.. Peabody says:
1T used to be a rare thing when l
would meet anyone who was acquaint-
all uncommon, and since Van Horn
has commenced to boom the place in
the papers here, it becomes more and
more a familiar name.

Second. Their right fgov ern-

Third. That in lieu Of their

Among the grea. advantages to
be erived from the establishment
of water works in the city Is in
the reduction OF Insurance rates.
Insurance rates at this time are
almost prohibitory. In some
localities absolutely so. AS an
example Of rates and the way In
rurance companies gauge rates
they charge 9to 10 per cent on
risks ia wooden rows or blocks,
while in brick blocks the rate is
only one quarter to one half Of
that rate. The difference is IN
the rate OF course, and while
the rate is exorbitantly high it is
the rate and can't be had for less.
With a supply Of water, an organ
lied fire company, with a fairly
goou apparatus, rates would be
lowered in all quarters of the city
