cn1r1c1z1NG THE kA1sE1,.

Traditional respect for their ruler has
not kept the progressive German editors
from speaking their mind about the
ISaiser's recent utterances in England.
Some of the most important papers II,
the provinces and powerful organs in
the Kaiser's own Capital are criticlzinE
him very freely for declaring in Eng
lard. while he was attending the King 4
funeral, that there was no cause for
war between the people over whom,
Edward had ruled and his own subjects.
Deferentially. of course, but positively,
the EDITORS of the Pan-German school
have told the Kaiser that he is not the
German nation, and that when he talked
with Monsieur Pichon in England lie
was not speaking as the German peo-
pie but as an individual German citizen.
Wilhelm is given to understand that his
people are not averse to trouble, ana
that If England wants war she eau
get It.
There is something very significant
about this. In the first place, this Ii
one of the few cases IN recent years
when the German editors. even of the
radical school, have spoken in open or
position to their ruler. Generally
when they did not approve they held
their tongues, and when they could not
applaud they dared NJ, hiss. In this
case, however their very poldress indi-
Gates their assurance and shows in q
measure how far Germany has pro-
crossed during recent years. When the
press is free the people are free, and
when German editors can speak their
minds changes in the Constitution are
inevitable.
Besides, this widespread criticism OF
the Emperor on question of foreign
policy indicates the depth of the feel
ing against England in Germany 1t
is bad enough 10 disagree with the
Kaiser, but it is still worse to boldly
declare hostility TO England and to ex-
press a desire for war. Who knows
but that the editors are right and the
Kaiser wrong, and who can say that
the Germans are not as willing to fight
as the English fear they are prepared
to fight?

LORINIEIt,

The Senate has determined to invos-
tigate Senator Lorimer. This is what
the Senator demanded. in sense, a..
though 1t would seem that the scope
of the investigation is to be good

Senate Committee on Audit and Con-

be passed to-day empowering a sub
committee of the Senate Committee on

THE: TRIBUNE AND SOUTHERN
MONUMENTS.

The New York Tribune did not al
ways put the olive on its brow and
the balm Of courtesy on its lips in
speaking about the South. ii did not
search its vocabulary in other days for
compliments nor did it run the gamut
to sound generous note in behalf of
the people who fought for the South.
IN fact, 1t has not been very long, at
least to those who read history, since
the New York Tribune was the incar-
nation of everything hostile to tbs
South. Its founder and most famous
proprietor, Horace Greeley, was by
no means just to the South, and
though he expiated his earlier crimes
against tho Constitution by his friend
ship for Mr.. Davis and by his gener-
osity in post bellum days, his newspa
per was never known as a friend to
the South.
1t is all the more interesting and all
the more pleasing. therefore, to see IL
new spirit dominating the Tribune. a.
spirit that bespeaks generosity to the
South and just regard for the his
tory of this part of the country In
commenting on the memorial unveiled
at Johnson's Island in memory of the
Confederate prisoners Of war who died
there. the Tribune now has this to
say:
'As memories of the sufferings or
the war and of the passions which
they engendered recede, the North and
the South can DO more justice to each
others sincerity and heroic endurance.
Each section can welcome the placing
on its soil Of memorials to those VINO
fought in rival cause. They do cred
II to common sense of devotion and
commemorate incidents and events
which belong to our common history"
To all of this we say amen" There
was sorrow enough and suffering
enough and passion enough during
the war and during the stilldarker days
of Reconstruction without reviving
any of it in this day and time. We
can reverence our own heroes and we
can believe as firmly as we ever ne
lieved in the justice of our cause and
can still regard without bitterness the
men who fought against US. We can
cherish our own affairs and worship
at our own shrines and can yet re-
member that the other side has It's
Lares ct Penates which it loves and
reyeres.
The South has in recent years glad,
~ welcomed Northern visitors who
came on pilgrimages of love TO unvell
