THE GERMAN FEDERATION.

The German empire is a confeder-
alton which is, in many respects, UNI
like anything else that exists in the
way of political organization. 1t cun
sists of four monarchies. eighteen
grand %duchues, duchies and principal
tiles, and three free cities. The four
Kingdoms which form parts of the
empire are Prussia. Bavaria. SaNony
and Wurtemburg, all large, %populous
and important. Prussia, of course, be
ing the largest division OF all. But
the other divisions, no matter by
what name they arc known. with very
few exceptions, ave rcigning houses
of so-called noble birth. and to all
intents aud purposes they are separ-
at kingdoms.
Each of these divisions, great or
small, has its royal or princely reign
ton of titled liabilities, its form and
ceremony, it's gold lac INT uniforms,
and all the trappings of royalty.
What this means to the people in the
way of taxation we of this country
can scarcely appreciate. Sometimes
We are inclined to complain of the
cost of our state governments, not
realizing how light, in reality, Is the
burden which we have to carry. But

as we have, with y few officials being

to maintain. with hereditary royal
families. each member of which must
be maintained in a suitable state.
and with all the attendant expendi-
ture considered proper for such
courts, We would learn something
about taxation. All this would be a
sufficient burden without the addition
of the immense military establish
ment which Germany has maintained.

ESTIMATE AND ACTUAL COUNT.

On the morning after election, with
shout one-third OF the precincts of
the state heard from, The Herald es-
6mated that Governor Hanna's pld-
1ality would be about 10000. There
was n 70 sentiment whatever In the es-
innate. 1t was avowedly an estimate,
and could not be anything else, as the
1ull count vas not available. But the
estimate was based on the actual fig
ures which had been received, and 1t
was - close as 1t could be made un-
der the circumstances.
The Official returns from all the
counties but two have been canvass
ID In the Office Of the secretary of
state. and, with these two counties
missing. Governor Hanna has a plu-
raltty OF 9,451 votes. The returns
from the two missing counties will
probably increase the plurality some
what hence The Herald's estimate
Of 1000. will prove correct within
. few dozen votes one way or the
ether.

PROGRESSIVE PARTY FUTURE.

Members Of the progressive ma
tional committee in session in Chi
cago are trying to determine what is
10 be the future ofsthe party. Just
before the meeting it was stated that
h question of amalgamating the
party with the republicans and with
the democrats would be. discussed.
but that 1t was unlikely hat final
decision would be reached at this
meeting. and that in all probability it
would lie decided to retain the party
organization in its present form for
another year, at least, by the end of
which time it would be possible to
come to more definite conclusion as
TO what should he lone before the
opening of the 1916 campaign.
IT Is improbable that the leaders
of the new y rty actually believe that
m action Of their looking to ANAL
Samation can deliver whatever vote
the party has bodily to any other
party. Jf such Il belief is entertained
it is a mistaken one. Votes are not
delivered in that way. The voting
strength of the new party Is at pres
emit very small. There Is no present
prospect of any gain. Conditions may
possibly arise within the corning year
which will tend to swing votes to the
new organization. Just as conditions
which We're unforeseen made possible
the creation of the party in 1912. and
drew to it a large vote. But as the
case now stands, the ontest in the
next campaign would be between the
republicans and the democrats. with
the prugrcssives an almost negligible
third. If the progressive ~organiza-
ton were simply to quit, the few
votes which attach to it would be di-
vided between the other two parties,
with the republicans presumably get
ting the greater share OF them. And.
II the organization, or it's leaders and
managers should, in addition to quit
ting. attempt to transfer it's strength
20 either of the other parties. the re.
suit would be practically the same.
The voters would ignore any attempt
which might be made to deliver them
and would go where they pleased.

field have been circulated for several
days. Now 1t developers that there
has been no decisive victory. Hence
the Russian war office is charged
with making false claims. The fact
is that the Russian war department
has made no such claims. and hat it's
statements with reference to the stu
alton in Poland have beer exceedingly
moderate. The Germans attempted
again an advance on Warsaw. They
were checked with tremendous loss,
and a large part of their army was
partly e%nveloped and placed in u des-
perate situation. The reverse was
real. The losses were real. The
dangerous condition Of the German
army was real. And a great many
over-enthusiastic people assumed that
the whole thing vas over. The war
department however at no time claim
ed that any decisive result had been
gained. IT reported that the condi-
tions were favorable to date. This
was all hat it could do, for there was
heavy fighting still to be done, and
the result of that remained to be seen.
Instead of making exaggerated claims
the Russian bureau warned the pub
lie not to be carried away by the re-
ports in circulation, and not to take
it for granted that the great victory
had been won. The G stage of the
great battle is now under way. The
German. realizing their peril. sent re-
Inducements as fast as possible. and
the endangered army succeeded in
cutting it's way through the enemy's
lines at come points. The decisive
moment has not yet arrived and no
man can Sc ~. yet whether the Ger
al will be able to withdraw their
imperilled forces without further
great loss or will be compelled to
surrender. The official dispatches
have been absolutely faithful to the
facts.
The principal war story of the day
is sent out from London. That re-
port contains contradictory state
ments, hence it has been criticized as
unreliable. Its various sections are
contradictory because they come from
different sources. and are written
from different angles. often without
intent to mislead. But the summary
contains practically every rumor
which appears to be important, and
the source of the report is also given
The London summary which is pub
lished in the American papers each
day contains. Is it has contained all
through the war. timely and accurate
records of the situation to date, to-
gether with a very impartial collec-
ton Of rumors Of all sorts which ap-
peared to be of Importance.
Many readers fail to AXE the
trouble to equip themselves with any
information. but demand that their
papers shall tell them from day to
day who is getting whipped. That
of course cannot be done until some
body is getting very decisively whip
ped. But anyone who wishes to take
the trouble can keep himself very
we'll informed. All that is necessary
Is to supply oneself with "a map
read the daily reports, and exercise
a little common sense.
