German Army Cruelties.

1t Is a significant sign of change of Of
fetal sentiment in Germany that Gen. Won
Einem. the minister of war, yesterday
arc se In the reichstag and ayowed a de-
termina ton on his part to eradicate, as far
as possible. the evil of cruel treatment of
private soldiers by officers and non-com-
missioned subalterns. 1t was not so long
ago that such a spectacle would have con-
vulsed official Germany. For generations
1t has been tradition that the superior
soldier at liberty to maltreat his sub
ordinate without limit, and there are nu-
merous instances Of actual killings which
have gone UNPUBLISHED because the slayeri
has been officer and the slain a private
soldier. Not long ago the kaiser took oc-
casion pointedly to express his belief that
this is all wrong, and he issued stringent
orders forbidding the ''ragging" of soldiers,
as the English term it, by their superiorS.
Notwithstanding his explicit denunciation
of the custom it continued to a very great
extent. and recently lieutenant of the
army cashiered for printing a book
which told of the cruelties of the men who
wear the kaiser's uniform. 1t was impos-
sill lie for the government to permit any per-
sor connected with the organization to dis
close the forbidding condition which it was
trying to cure.
In the reichstag yesterday General Won
Eimen declared that during the year ending
last June 80 officers and ST non-commis-
stoned officers and good service men had
been punished for maltreatment of pri-
vate soldiers This amounted to a percent
age of one officer in 400 and one non-com-
missioned officer in 100 The government
he declared. believed that this D ,rcent lge
was still too high. and it would continue It's
efforts to reduce it. This is a satisfactory
evidence of good faith Germany stands to-
day as the most conspicuous example of the
evil effect OF maintaining a large standing
army. Military service is there como IIscry

likely that Mr.. Murphy win be in his train
than he in Mr.. Murphys train?
Who. then, comes up the question. is Mr..
Cookers choice for the presidency? Every
body knows that he hates Mr.. Hill, and
likes Mr.. German. But what opinion does
he entertain of Judge Parker? Could he be
induced to help along the Parker boom ?
And what are his present views respecting
Mr.. Bryan and the Nebra skan's future?
The two men are very friendly. and met for
a confab in London the other day, The
cabled report Of what passed between them
We may probably accept with a grain of
salt. Mr.. Croker may not have urged Mr..
Bryan to make another race for the presi-
dency. But it is not unlikely that they dis
cussed the general political outlook. and
parted with the understanding that they
would renew the conversation next year at
the national convention.
If Mr.. Croker were to show a desire to
cooperate with Mr.. Bryan next year in the
choice of candidate. would it count mate
rally in the equation in New York and
else where? ---.

Mclean Still for Cleveland.

Mr.. John R.. Mclean of Washington and
Cincinnati refuses to give up Mr.. Cleveland.
Those friends of the ex-President who after
booming him for next years nomination
most frantically are now trumpeting for
other candidates are not men after Mr..
McI.eans heart. He accepts. they do.
Mr.. Cleveland's recent letter entirely sin
cere. but. unlike them, he does not accept
it as final. 1t but convinces him anew of
MIR. Cleveland's Importance to his party,
and of the necessity, If the party would win
next year. of naming the ex-President as
its candidate.
All of this is set forth in Thursdays issue
of the Cincinnati Enquirer. the newspaper
over whose fortunes Mr.. Mclean presides
In a long editorial Mr. Cleveland's qualities
and record are carefully and eulogistically
canvassed. and the conclusion reached that
the Sage of Princeton is the man for the
emergency. Note the positive, almost stern,
character of the concluding paragraph:
Let us not give up our ablest. strongest
most experienced statesman, who has come
to command the confidence and yeneratlOn
of the entire country. because he is not
seeking TO lead again. When the great
convention meets and speaks he will not
question or disobey its august decree
1t will be observed that Mr. Mclean
ranges himself alongside of ''Cincinnatus.
OF Spray North Carolina, whose sentiments
on the same subject The Star quoted on
Thursday. The two men differ in but the
slightest particular. "Cincinnatus'' asks a
question. Will Mr.. Cleveland respond if
called? Mr.. Mclean is certain of it, He
has no doubt the subject. OF the two
men Mr.. Mclean is probably the safer adj
wiser. "Cincinnatus'' reads Horace and
quotes Latin. He is easily identified as
a country gentleman living off the main
line of travel. and dividing his time between
his library and the hunting field. Mr.. Nc
Lean is an active man of affairs. skilled in
politics. leader in that field and in touch
with many other leaders He knows men
well. and when he says that Mr. Cleveland
If called will respond his opinion may safely
be accepted.
VIII the democratic party follow Mr.
Mclean in this matter? He has claims
upon its attention. AS the sole owner of
the leading democratic newspaper in Ohio
and part owner of the opposition republican
paper, he comes as near to being two gen.
tiemen in one" as anybody in our politics.
He has recently helped to rid his party Of
Tom Johnson and that eccentric indvid
uafs collection of isms. 1t was a sagacious
act. for while Mr.. johnson continued to
flourish and to disport himself he was
positive injury to the democracy. local and
national. Mr.. Mclean helped Mr.. Hanna
to put Mr.. Johnson out of business. But
why does Mr.. Mclean pass over Mr.. Cor
man. the sensitive Mr.. Olney, Judge Parker
and Judge Gray for a man whose trans
cendent merits 1t has taken him twenty full
years to discover?

Signs Of Prosperity.

From the New York Press.
There is no such thing as real prosperity
in this country when the general public is
short of surplus money. There Is no abate-
ment of real prosperity when the general
public goes on making money and saving
some of it. The speculative gambler may
be rolling in wealth or he may be abso-
iutely poverty stricken. and neither the one
condition nor the other reflects the situation
of the general public and the country.
Something that does. unfailingly and en-
phaticaliy, 10 the total Of the savings banks
deposits-the surplus wealth of the general
public.

Savfn Rock Theater.

To the list of up-to-date comedy farces has recently been added one, which from all accounts in our ex- changes, is destined to make a strong bid for popular favor. Its title, Weary Willie Walker is 8 good one and one suggestive of all kinds of tramp hu- nor.
 What it really offers, to judge by press criticism. is an evening of de- lightful entertainment. as it is said to be full of spice, rapid in action, filled with bright and witty dialogue which admits of ample opportunity for the introduction of specialties, with which 1t abounds.
