He'll now have lots OF work on hand
could not name it al,
He will have visits from the band
Who feel their right 10 ~all.
And power will be his to do
What he has never done;
To say some simple words Just so
Two people shall be one.
No matter be they black or white.
Don't mind what others think,
But recollect II is your right
To gather in the chink.
And when you fix the happy pair,
Just beam on them with pride,
And do not mind what others care
You kiss the blushing bride.
n Mr.. Taft should call on you,
In daytime or at night,
No matter what you have TO DO
Be sure to treat him right
Just kill a chicken, churn and talk,
And MI him to the brim;
Perhaps he'll use his piece of chalk
And take you home with him.
And then you may be sent some plac'
To walk and talk with kings;
That would be better In lifes race
Than salts and pills and Chings.
And now, Dear Doc. this wish is MIN
That you'll be fair and square.
And have very pleasant time
While holding down the chair.

GOSSIP OF THECOU

Tomorrow, Kaiser William cele-
brates his silver jubil >, that is the
25th anniversary Of his accession to
the imperial throne of Germany. His
reign dates from IL day of the death
Of his father, the illfated Emperor
Frederick. "Unser Fritz" whose reign
lasted but a hundred days, and who is
still fondly remembered by the Ger
man people.
The quarter of century which has
elapsed since the Kaiser put the
crown upon his brow has been a
period of marked. even wonderful de-
velopment I'm Germany. In this de-
velopment Wilhelm II has borne his
full share and more. He has been,
and still is, one Of the most con-
spieuous public characters of his
time. To the fare light that beats
upon the throne he never has mani
tested any objection; in fact he has
sought It,
Yet IN spite of its Illuminating pow
er he remains a subject for study He
is the warlord, and at the same time
he is hailed as the greatest force for
peace in Europe. At first view, he
seems to be full Of contraries, but
when we follow his policies closely
and proceed from incident to incident
in his history we find that there is a
consistency of character running
through all his acts. He has aspir-
ed to be the arbiter Of Europe and he
has come, at times very close to at
tanning his aspiration.
AS the head Of a great army, which
is to be made still greater, he has
been able to preserve peace with the
threat of the mailed fist" at the
same time he has launched upon a
policy of adventure. He came very
near precipitating a war when he sud-
denly forced the Morocco question
upon the attention of Europe and he
got, not what he desired. but some
thing & show l. e Germe rs as sheaves
from the harvCst. He held the atten-
tion of the world for months and at
the same time by his power there
was little real danger for the peace
Of Germany
In the same way he backed Austria
in annexing Bosnia and Herzegovina,
being sure, despite some trying
weeks. that he would not be called
upon to resist assault or to fight to
accomplish his purpose. Too strong
to be assaulted, he can yet be an in
fluence for peace at the very lime
that he is compelling a partial ac-
.quiescence in his policy of German
aggrandizement.

has increased more than so per cat.
the number Of persons engaged in the
industries, mining and trade has dou-
bled. and German shipping tonnage
has more than trebled, as has also
Germany's foreign trade, In the field
of social work GERMANY has advanced
beyorC any other na.ion. The insur.
ance benefits paid TO workingmen last
year we're more than ten times the
amount paid In 1887, the year before
tho Kaiser's accession, and the ac.u
mulated capital fund of the social in.
surance institute has increased within
the period from 66,00OOOO to 2.521..
100000 marks. The general prosper.
ity of the nation IN the Kaiser's reign
is seen in the hvefold increase of saw.
ings, which now exceed $4,000 600 900,
and on a per capita basis are greater
than those of any other people.
The end has crowned the Kaisera
peaceful striving with glory.
There was another anniversary In
Europe during the past week, ten
years having passed since the regicide
at Belgrade, and while there was no
celebration in Seryia or elsewhere,
that tragedy affords an interesting
and not altogether untimely remind
er of some of the tribulations, which
have afflicted the Balkan region.
There was bitter irony in the circum-
stance that Russia aided Austria in
treating King Sasha" tAlexander)
with such open hostility tnat no doubt
1t encouraged the assassins to commit
their dastardly work. and this despite
the fact that that King had done his
best to russify his country.
But another irony of fate in connec-
tion with his murder is not so we'll
known. Alexander and his Queen
Draga we're done to death by his own
officers on the eve of his entering into
an alliance with Bulgaria against Tur-
key for the redemption of Macedonia.

and Bosnia and Herzegovina nigh.
have become Servian instead of Aus
Hungarian.
On the other hand, the accession of
the great grandson OF Black George 70
the Serviau throne probably facili-
tated the making of a Balkan League,
Stree Peter was married TO a daugh-
ter of the King of Montenegro and
was himself strongly inclined toward
close relations with Bulgaria. The
event also ingratiated Servia with
Russia and Austria, which. with Mon
tenegro. were the only powers that
condoned the murder Of Alexander
and congratulate Peter on his acces-
sion.

ID PUBLICAN victory in Wilmington on last satur-
N day supplies to the Dover State News a Kenney-
Magee Democratic organ opportunity to pour
broadside into the dscredited and discounted saus-
bury machine here and also to indulge in character
stic distortion of tho position which the Republicans
and the National Progressiyes occupied in the local
campaign II says:
The sleepy Democracy of Wilmington. with a Sena-
orshp rigbtfully belonging to Kent county, made
other bad showing last Saturday In supporting, for
Mayor Or. Willard Springer, one Of the best candi-
dates they have had in years Their only success lies
in taking grain from the storehouses OF Kent and
Sussex,
Mayor Howell was reelected to his office in VIII
mingon because the Democrats feebly offered cam
paign of men, not principles They had platform and
allowed the Roosevelt Progressives with Francis l.
DUPONT their sandard-bearer to bring out the only
declaration OF principles which the campaign" de-
yeloped. The Republicans put up DIR. Howell who
said Il want IT," and the Democrats nominated Dr.
Springer who retorted ME, too" In growing Amer
ican city like Wilmington there should have been
constructive ideas and plans that would have been
interesting and worthy OF discussion for the whole
country-bGt Wilmington is rather dead, politically. in
trespasses and sins far behind the times in leal-
ing with reading voting public.
We would remind Kent county contemporary
that the Democracy of Delaware not sleepy
last Saturday 1t was a wide-awake and up-and-doing
Democracy that repudiaed Senator Salisbury and his
machine-made municipal ticket and reelected Mayor
Howell and his ticket by a. plurality that un-
precedented in recent years. The Democracy of viii
mington had grown tired of having Democratic city
primary converted into grand amen to the
nomnative work of kitchen cabinet made up OF Sen
ator Salisbury Thomas f. 3ayard J. Harvey White
man and one or two others. DR.. Willard Springer
suffered defeat not because he not a good and
honest man. but because the Democratic voters recog-
nzed him as kitchencablnet candidate and the rep
resentatve Of class that had done to death, in the
November campaign. Thomas NJ. Monaghan, the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor.
Mayor Howell was reelected because he had made
a good record and deserved reelection and also be-
cnuse the honest and self-respectng members of
a macLine-ridden Democracy had decided il time
that Senator Salisbury be taught that the Democracy
OF Wilmington consists OF something besides himself
and handful of his political favorites and hench-
We would remind the anti-Saulsbury organ in Kent
that while II true that the Salisbury machine
didates stood upon platform, that Mayor Howell
stood upon splendid and that it was full of con-
structiye IDEAS and plans that interesting and
worthy of discussion.
In fact the election of last Saturday showed that

that respect which It pays TO a stror &
man. A strong man he certainly is,
not a mere passivee but an active
force. In short, he is not a formula,
but a reality.
When Kaiser wilhelm dispensed
with Bismarck's services. the world
predicted for him disaster. He was
likened TO the captain who dropped
an experienced pilot but no disaster
happened to Germany. On the con-
trary. the Kaiser's policy of associat-
ing the throne with the progress of
social improvement was better for
Germany and better for all humanity
than Bismarcks blood and iron"
methods for the forcible suppression
of Socialism. The Kaiser became his
own chancellor, and such he has re-
NAMED AT times he seemed In dam
ger of falling from the status of an
absolutist. He has ruled too much
many, which insists that he who gov
erns should govern actively. Five
years ago he was forced to put a
quietus upon his tongue and TO agree
that in his public speeches he should
be under a certain amount of editor
ship by his ministers. German SEN
timent, which forced this agreement
was feeling its way toward a real
parliamentary government, goal
which il has not yet attained.
The Kaiser, having probably years
of activity before him, may yet make
more history than is credited to him
now. When the history is made some
questions that his name cOnjuTes will
be answered. II is to be hoped that
his military capacity will not be test
ed in actual war, and that the world
will not be called upon to solve the
doubt as to whether he is a real SOL
der or simply a repetition of that
earlier Hohenzollern of whom Napo-
leon said that "he was very military
in fact, military enough to be a cor
poral."
At any rate, with his country Sc
cure in the engagement of peace the
Kaiser threw his restless energies,
backed by an astonishing versatility
into the commercial and Industrial
development of Germany, finding time
! even to foster the arts. crafts and
sciences with German thoroughness

honor conferred on him i'm his first
election was founded on opinion OF
the man and spromise; his reelection
Is founded on actual worth, tried out,

Without pretense or bombast, he
has given Wilmington a ereditable
administration and has done much TO
bring her to a realization of her pos
sibilities. Safe, sane. progressive
are terms that can well be applied to

proper place among the Eastern cit

in hearty accord and has taken more
