GERMANS ARE AMAZED.

They Cannot Understand How a
HOhenzoIIern Can BE So Demo-
cratic.
Berlin March S-A progressive news
paper that usually is not a particular
4 admirer of the monarchy finds compli-
ments for the way in which Prince
Henry of Prussia has pleased the
Americans. DR.. Barth, the editor of
the Nation, says:
FL He has acted as a free, modern man
among free men, without a trace of
8 that narrow-souled haughtiness which
+ junkerdom regards as the indispensable

81 Prince Henry's tact and good sense
are praised here by all the political

That it will cause a permanent and
more kindly feeling between the two
peoples, which is precisely the result
mat could do the most good. Some of
Iae old journalistic enemies of the
United States find it difficult to re-
sudln themselves amidst this festive
tsI1od' The Kreuz Zeitung grants that
me demonstrations are immense and
oH"t America never does anything in
small way; but, the
in adds, everything runs
wv rneo the gigantic. Nothing
