time never again to give his consent if the Hohenzollerns renewed their candidature. His majesty the king thereupon decided not to receive the French ambassador again, and sent to tell him through the aide-de- camp on duty that his majesty had nothing more to communicate to the ambas- sador.'
 The difference in the effect of the abbreviated text of the Ems telegram, as compared with that produced by the original, was not the result of stronger words, but of the form, which made this announcement ap- pear decisive, while Abeken's yer sion would only have been regarded as a fragment in a negotiation still pending and to be continued at Ber- Iin After l had read out the con- centrated edition to my two guests MoItke remarked:
 "'Now it has a different ring; it sounded before like a barley; now it is like flourish in answer to chal- lenge.
 "I went on to explain: If in execu- ton of his majesty's order I at once communicate this text, which con- tains no alteration in or addition to the telegram, not only to the news papers but also by telegraph to all our embassies, it will be known in Paris. before midnight; and not only on account of its contents but the manner of it's distribution will have the effect of a red rag on the Gaelic bull. Fight We must, if we do not want to act the part of the van quished without a battle. Success, however, especially depends on the impression which the origination of the war makes on us and on others. It is important that we should be the party attacked and that we fear lessly meet the public threats or France.
 This explanation brought on the two generals a revulsion to a more joyous. mood. the liveliness of which surprised me They had suddenly recovered their pleasure in eating and drinking, and spoke in a more cheerful vein. Roon said: Our God of old still lives and will not let us perish in disgrace '"-Bismarck, Re- factions and "Reminiscences, H., pp. s5-101
 The French, taking the bait, pre- cipitately declared war, thus alienat- ing European sentiment, just as Bis marck had foreseen.
 This year, whatever the faults Of the men responsible for the conduct of German affairs, it will not be con- tended that they have been squeam- ish about the general opinion of the world or that they have used Bis- marckian indirectness to fasten the blame of breaking the peace on their adverSaries.

he is regarded as a popular citizen
 There is no question as to the fitness
 of these men, and that is a strong
 point in their favor. The democracy
 does not seem to have given much
 thought to the question and the can didates, if there are any, are keeping
 their ambition to themselves The
 party has plenty of material from
 which it could select men who would
 be difficult, if not impossible, to de-
 feat, and they may yet be brought forth. It has not been fortunate in
 having representatives at Hartford in years, except the late Thomas H.
 Brady, who was one of the partys S best assets. It has been more for tunate in the senate. but there do not appear to be any candidates even for that place. The second last time a United States senator was being chosen it was by the legislature and 9 most determined fight was made for representatives, so that there would not be any doubt as to where they stood when the vote was taken. The candidate was Frank Brandegee, but the New Britain representatives were for E.. J. Hill in the caucus. Two years later the candidates were George P. Mclean and Morgan G. Bulkeley, the latter being then in the senate. New Britain was represented that year by F. w. Miner and Joseph Towers, who voted for MT. Mclean. This year senator is to be chosen, but the election will be by the people and not by the legislature and it will not have any effect on the local cam paign for representatives. It is pretty difficult to say just now how New Britain's vote will be this year, wheth- CT it will be for republican or demo- cratic candidates, all calculations be- ing upset by the republican victory achieved last spring. It looks as If the republicans are in the majority but there has always been so much independent voting done here that is seems impossible-to make a produe-. tion with any assurance of accuracy. The feeling, however, is that both sides should nominate it's best men, so that whichever party wins New Britain will be competently represent ed. That appears to be a good idea, for this city is large and important enough to have the best men it can obtain to represent it at Hartford. It has sent some men to the legis- lature who have been amongst the a blest In the body. During the year of ther deadlock the best speech on the legal aspects of the case was that made by the late P. J. Markley Of New Britain.

 furthermore there does not appear
 to be any reason for it, or if there
 is the promote are keeping it to themselves. Selectman Gibney is be- lieved to be giving the town a good
 administration and the only object there could be in forming an inde-
 pendent political party would be co get him out, but if they accomplished
 that and put in some one else they would not be any better off and per- haps the people might suffer in mak- ing the change. It is by no means certain that an independent move MT. Gibney Berlin is pretty solidly republican. It gave Roosevelt 100 votes two years ago and MT. Wilson. 191, and then MT. Taft carried it by a plurality of 194 over Roosevelt and 1OS over Wilson. Berlin might not stick so close to the republican ticket in a local contest, but the party has sufficient leeway to enable it to get by, even on such an occasion, provided, of course, that a suitably balanced ticket is placed in nomination. New Britain has been all through that in- dependent ticket business in local elections and has never yet seen any good come from it, but has heard some unpleasant rumors concerning the management. A citizens ticket carried the town and city, but when the people saw that there were no benefits coming from such victories they dropped back into their old po- litical affiliations and the government moved along the same as usual. In order to have an independent move ment successful the conditions must be ripe for it and there are no such reports coming from Berlin.

An Example Worth Following.
 (Detroit Free Press.)

Mrs. Edith Wharton, the novelist. has for some years resided in Paris. where she has undertaken to organize the Parisian sewing women who have been thrown out of employment Tn consequences of the war, and is sup plying material for them to make into clothing for wounded soldiers and the poor, by the sale of which they may relieve their own pressing needs.
 This is a helpful work, a true char ity To aid the destitute to help them selves is the best kind of assistance. And there will be many destitute in consequence of the check to certain activities because of the war. Many longshoremen of New York city are already out of work because of the check upon the city's commerce. Often the mans loss of occupation throws the burden of family su,p- port upon the women. WhateveH provides employment for them is a public benefit.
 It has been reported that many women of title and high social stand ing abroad have offered their services to the Red Cross as nurses. While the impulse that led to the proffer Is noble and patriotic and credit to their womanhood, the fact remains that nursing is arduous work and the tenderly nurtured and inexperienced must soon succumb to it's exactions. War is a grim school and the ineffi- cient have no place in army hospitals. Unless they are capable and can be of real service they are an embarrass- ment and hindrance; if unequal to their task they must be cared for in- stead of caring for others.
 Perhaps a hint may be taken from Mrs. Whartons example. She has shown a way to help. There will be many helps needed during the winter, that is approaching.

Filthy Stink Pots.
(Springf1eld Republican,

An American industry for which great things are expected as a result of the war is that of horse breeding. Already the dispatches have given an inkling of the importance and vast scale of the cavalry operations, and that the demand for remounts will exceed the supply is certain. Recol- lections are still fresh of the extent to which horses and mules were ob- tained in this country for the British army during the Boer war. Cavalry may not it is true, have quite the same relative importance in the present war that it did in that conflict, owing 10 the infinitely greater masses of troops involved and the relatively smaller area of actual Gtrife.

How Bismarck Made War.
(New York Globe.)

The matter is illustrated by the
 skilful maneuverings of Bismarck
 preceding the war of 1864 with Dem
 mark, of 1866 with Austria, and particularly the war of 1870 with
 France. How the cunning chancel- Tor deprived France of sympathy and
 the possible assistance of Great Brit
 ain is related by Bismarck in his re-
 miniscences, and is worth re-telling
 at the present time.
 The crisis with France arose over
 the Spanish succession. The vacant throne had been offered to Leopold of
 Hohenzollern, and he had provisional ly accepted. France, supported by Great Britain protested, Leopold then
 declined, and the basis for dispute was removed, much to the chagrin of
 Bismarck. Then the government of Napoleon III., against the advice or Great Britain, put forth preposter- ous and insulting demand. It asked the Prussian king to bind himself never again to consent to Leopolds candidacy. King William, who was at Ems, and on whom the demand had been personally made by the French ambassad dor, properly refused ana referred further consideration of the matter to the Berlin foreign office. The kings secretary informed the Berlin foreign office of the incident closing the telegram with the state- ment that Bismarck might use his discretion concerning publication or. the demand and it's rejection. Bls7 marck had Moltke and Roon to din- ner that night Now let Bismarck him. self tell the rest of the, story:
 II was informed that message was being deciphered. When the copy was handed to me it showed that Abeken (the kings secretary) had drawn up and signed the telegram at his ma jesty's command. I read it out 10 my guests, whose dejection was so great that they turned away rom food and drink. On repeated ex- animation of the document l fingered upon the authorization or ms ma iesty. which included a command, immediately to communicate Bene- dette's fresh demand and It's reJec- ton to our amba ssadors ana the press. I put few questions 10 Moltke as to the extent of his con- idencer .in- the state of our prepara- tions:: He answered that if there was to be war he expected no advantage to us by de1err1ng US outpredk. OH- der the conviction that war could be avoided only at the cost of the honor of Prussia I made use of the royal auth horization to publish the contents of the telegram, and in the presence of my two guests I reduced the tele- gram by striking out words, but without adding or altering, to the following form:
