When the Germans Elm. ~


Talk about the isolation Of o..

ing from the Baltic to the Adriatic and
actually cutting Europe in two.
All the traditions of Austria are Ger
man. When it comes to a lineun tho
Austrians will remember the days a,
ancient greatness when all Germanv
was under one head. The hour q,
change is near for Austria, for tho
emperor, who has been on the throne
sixty years, win soon pass away, II
is noticeable that shortly before the
visit Of King Edward to the czar the
German emperor made a remarkable
call, in company with the princes Of
the states Of the empire, upon Francis
Joseph in Vienna. This visit was set
apart from all other ceremonies con.
nected with the celebration of the an.
niversary OF the accession Of the Aus.
trian emperor to the throne. 1t was
gathering of the German princes to do
honor to the Austrian emperor, who is
of German blood, a sort of family re-
union of the German crowned heads.
German enterprise and the spirit Of
business expansion have filed the small
countries south and east of Austria
with Germans Their business talent,
the fame of their systems of education
and the position of the military men,
trained in Germany, give to the race
a leadership wherever numbers of
them assemble, and this means about
every seaport and trading center on
the southern seas and every capital Of
the smaller states wedged in between
the political possessions of the Ger
man and the Turk. AS they are scat
tered today among several countries
and divided in their political ideals,
the Germans may well take alarm at
the thought of France, Russia and
England leagued against them. But
If they all get together and line up
they may turn the tables with respect
to isolation. Physically France and
Russia can be separated by Germany
If all the German people in Europe
set about it. And isolation for Ger
many would not be a calamity If it
proved to be that splendid isolation
which is synonymous with power to
go It alone.

BRYAN's POLICIES DESTRUCTIVE.
Mr.. Taft Compares Republican and
Democratic Platforms.
(From Mr.. Taft's Speech of Accep-

The chief difference between the Re
publican and the Democratic platforms
is the difference which has heretofore
been seen between the policies of Mr..
Roosevelt and those which have been
advocated by the Democratic candidate.
Mr.. Bryan. Mr. RooSeyelt's policies
have been progressive and regulative
Mr.. Bryan's destructive. Mr.. Roose-
welt has favored regulation of the BUSH
ness in which evils have grown up so
as to stamp out the evils and permit
the business to continue. The tendency
OF Mr. Bryan's proposals has generally
been destructive of the business with re-
spect TO which he is demanding reform
Mr.. Roosevelt would compel the trusts
to conduct their business in lawful
manner and secure the benefits of their
operation and the maintenance of the
prosperity of the country OF which they
are an important part; while Mr..
Bryan would extirpate and destroy the
sptirs business in order to stamp out
the sSllS which they have practicsa.

A talk with the Governor General of the Kaiser's best Colony

around the head, blowing furrows, as it were, over their scalps. Many wear enor- nous ear plugs, which distend the lobes of the ear so that a silver dollar can be easily slipped in and out through them and a few have nose rings. Their clothes are of bright colored prints made in 1n- dia and shipped here from Bombay.
 Ire kaiser's Black Soldiers.
 Among the most striking of the natives are the soldiers. The kaiser has an army of 250O blacks to keep his millions of East African subjects in order, and so far they have done very well. These negroes have been selected for their size, an1 they remind one of the famed guard of Frederick the Great, none of whom was under six feet. They are bg-framed and broad-shouldered, and their faces seem to me the personification of ugliness and brutality. They are dressed in khaki with khaki caps with aprons at the back to protect the neck, and their uniforms are much like those of the Geman army save that they are barefooted. These SOL oiers are armed with the best of modern
