Emperor will be attained or not Is problematic
That monarch strongly favored the granting or
universal suffrage, in order, as he said III mis-
latest rescrpt, that barriers among the various
races and tribes of the empire might be broken
down and national peace and unity might be
secured. Il should count 1t the greatest JOY.
he said, IF l. who have shared all the passions
''Of the strife. could also share in the pleasure
'of national peace" There has indeed been
Il great breaking down of barriers and a disap-
pearance of racial factions. But, on the other
hand, party barriers have arisen and polttlcal
factions have been developed which may prove
mischievous those which they have re-
placed. Thus the Young CzeChs. those Slavic
firebrands from Bohemia, have been reduced
in numbers from forty five to three, ana their
bitter antagonists. the Pan-Germans, nave SIM
larly almost disappeared. AT the same time
the Social Democrats have increased their num-
bers from less than dozen to what Will IN the
end prove to be nearly hundred and The
Anti-Semites, who had twenty six seats In the
old Rechsrath, will probably have three times
as many in the new.
The bear garden conflicts in the Reichsrath
between Pan-Slav and Pan-German have be
come things of the past, but in their place we
shall probably see conflicts between Social
Democrats and Clerical-Anti-Semite comblna-
ton IN which case the House may resemble
the SOUL OF the man VINO Hdn II utNh Cast ou''
which returned bringing with him seven Others,
each worse than himself. Austria Is just be-
ginning the experience which France has had
and which Germany is wrestling with-that or
a parliamentary country without true party
system, but in its place multitude OF minority
factions, and with the governmental majority
therefore always dependent upon more or less
arbitrary and incOngruous coalition In Ger
many the case is worse than in France, be-
cause of the composite character of the EN-
pire Again, In Austria 1t is worse than III
Germany. because that empire is still more
composite, consisting. not as Germany does, or
a number of states chiefly occupied by the same
race, but of a number of states occupied by
different and antagOnstic races. There are IN
Austria antagonisms of statehood, OF race, or
language of creed. of social caste and of poll
tics. In such panhominum the voice of the
aged Emperor crying for peace seems for the
present like the echo of a vain hope.

Is TO FISH.

A correspondent from well inland who has,
however. spent lifetime on a fishing coast
takes The Tribune TO task for repeating the
.staIe old warn about the menhaden fishermen
running the shad fishing" and In general for
having its editorials on such matters written
by a rank Iandlubber who couldn't tell a main
brace from a pinnacle All of which accept
with the chastened humility which is betting
in the awful presence Of ultimate and absolute
authority.
Regard for the accuracy OF the record re-
qures us. however, with due depreciation 10
submit that The Tribune never said any such
thing as that imputed to II, but merely that the
operations of the menhaden fishermen were one
of a number of causes contributing to the in
creasing scarcity of shad and, we may add OF
other food fish. We must confess that we have
never yet learned of the existence Of a dis
eliminating fshnet which, set across the mouth
of river or at the inlet OF a sound, VIII catch
all the oil fish and let all the food fish pass.
If our correspondent knows of such a device we
shall be glad TO hear about IL. We wonder If
our correspondent, fresh from his lifetime on
the shore is equally ignorant of the huge cold
storage warehouses which the menhaden fish
erInen have erected for holding their catches
of food fish until they can be marketed 10 ad-
vantage; of their sending schooner loads of
bluehsh, weakfsh and other food fish to market
and OF their sometimes throwing them ever
board again and sometimes grinding them up
into fertilizer by the thousand rather than sell
them at low price. If he is, 1t may be that
some landlubber of our staff who IS familiar
with the coast fisheries as with Newspaper Row
can enlghten him.

One OF the most curious clocks In the world

an immense column of hot water every thirty gns

my boys in a merry mood. They were

fine college harmony, and as l entered
they swarmed about me like so many

them was under 20, and two or three
were older than myself. But to them
I represented official protection for
whatever they might do. l assumed

nearly like Max that they might easily
have been brothers. Ellis was slight

him his papers and examined his tick

he would be in Dresden the next day.

Yes. l have friends in Dresden

well, good luck to you'll"
Then l announced that Max Schar-
fenstein, an old college comrade, would
join us presently. This was greeted
with hurrahs. At that time there
wasn't an American student who did
not recollect Max's great run from the
ten-yard line. (But where the deuce
was Mako I took a little flag from
my pocket and stuck 1t into the vase

there was much ado over the laggard.
Unfortunately the waiter had forgot

genial smile on his face, Max inao-
Gently stepped over to the officers
table and plucked forth the vacant
chair. For a wonder the officers ap-
peared to give this action no heed,
and 1 was secretly gratified. 1t was
something to be consul, after all.
But counted my chickens too early.
'"Where are the cigars?" l asked as
Max sat down complacently.
Cigars ?"-blankly. Hang me, I've

the reason of his delay.

Princess Hildegarde has run away, and

The police are at this very moment

She has eloped."
"Eloped?" we all cried, being more
or less familiar with the state of af-
fairs at the palace.

dous strength. If he showed fight. Won
Storer would calmly saber him. 1t
was the custom. But Max surprised
me. He was the coolest among us,
but of that quality of GOODNESS which
did not reassure me. He took up his
story where he had left off and finished
it. For his remarkable control / could
have taken him in my arms and Rugged
him.
The officers scowled, while Won
Storer bit his mustache nervously.
The American had ignored his insult.
Presently he rose again and ap-
preached. He thrust a card under
Max's nose. -.
Can you understand that?" he
asked CONTEMPORARY.
Max took the card, ripped it into
quarters and dropped these to the
floor. Then, to my terror and the ter
ror of those with me, he TRANQUILITY
pulled out a murderous looking Colt
and laid it beside his plate. He went
on talking, but none of us heard a
word he said. We we're fearfully wait

No one was killed. The officers hur.
riedly took down their sabers and
