Two Famous Colonies

Two famous Colonies, both distin-
guished in Journalism, are on today's
birthday Iist-Co1. Henry Watterson,
editor of the Louisville CourierJ our
nal, and Col. George Brinton McCleI-
Ian Harvey, editor of the North Amer
lean Review. ''Marse Henry was
born in Washington seventy-six years
ago today, and began his newspaper
career in 1858 as a reported on the
staff of the Washington States. Mr.
and Mrs. Watterson recently ce1e-
brated their golden wedding, and, if
he lives two years longer, t'Marse
Henry will celebrate the fftieth an
niversary of his occupancy of the
Courier Journals editorial chair. Col.
Harvey is a 'tno'thener," as he was
born at Peachan, VT, f1fty-two years
ago today. His military title is of
southern origin, however, as he achiev-
ed it while acting as honorary colonel
and aide-de-camp on the staffS of Gov
ernors Hayward and Ansel of South
Carolina. The distinguished Ken
tuckian's title is the genuine article,
won by brilliant and honorable service
as Confederate staff officer and chief
of scouts in General Johnston'S army
during the unpleasantness of the soc.
Col. Harvey recently returned from
a visit to Europe, and expressed the
opinion that peace would not come for
at least two years, and possibly five.
Il round England at her very pest,
he said, very sober, perfectly calm,
and seIf-possessed, but thoroughly
aroused and resoIute and surcharged
with confidence that must be reck-
ioned a sense of absolute certainty
The policy adopted by the United
States with regard to the war, he de-
clared, was not looked upon favorab1y
by any of the nations of Europe! The
English people think it is Uncle Sans
duty to join the Allies, but the Lon
don government, he added, was not in
c1ined to take the view of the popu-
lace, but is quite satisfied with pres
emit conditions. The policy of Ger
many and Austria in their dealings
with the Washington government, he
said, "has been one of fast and loose
from the very beginning" So far as
the Allies are concerned, Col. Harvey
says the war has ''on1y started and
that mo matter what Germany has
accomplished up to now, its efforts
will be futile when England begins to
get all her men in the field with sup
plies and munitions behind them

PROTESTANTISM

The first exposition of the Lutheran
or Protestant doctrines, and the first
Protestant confession of faith, were
the work of Philip Me1anchton, the
friends and associate of Luther, who
was born in Germany 419 years ago
today, Feb. 16, 1497. Melanchton,
whose real name was Schwartzerd
was professor of Greek in the Univer-
sity Of Wittenberg, where Luther was
professor of theology. When Luther
began his assaults on the CHURCH, for
which he was accommodated
Melanchthon, like most of the other
members of the faculty, sided with
him, and Wittenberg became the
storm center of the religious revolt
In his Loci Communes.' the profess
sor of Greek first set forth the doc
trine sof Luther, and in the augsburg
Confession, compiled by Melanchthon
in 1880, he set down twenty-eight arti-
cles of faith, the first seven of which
were directed against what were call
ed the errors of Catholicism, while the
remaining twenty-one set forth the
Lutheran creed. Next to Luther
Melanchthon was the greatest figure
of the Reformation.

Prussia IS Government

Prussia's government is curious
admixture of the medieval and the
modern, the despotic and the demo-
cratic. AS the Prussian delegation is
supreme in the Bundesrat, in which
the sovereignty of Germany rests,
Prussia really controls the empire.
The Prussian King claims to rule by
right divine, and is responsible only
to Colt. He appoints and discharges
his ministers at will, and in the execu-
tive and Judiciary branches Of the
Prussian government he is aII-power-
full. The Prussian legislature con-
sists of the Herrenhaus, or House, of
Lords, the members of which are ap-
pointed by the King. The deputies
in the lower house are elected, but
not by the people at large. The vot-
ers are divided into three divisions, in
accordance with the amount of taxes
they pay, the aggregate of the taxes
paid tby each division being equal.
Each class in each district chooses the
same number Of electors, who in turn
choose the deputy who is to represent
the district in the lower house. a
single citizen, owing to his wealth,
may, and in some districts does,
choose one-third of all the electors.
He has only to influence few friends,
or men dependent upon him, in order
to name the deputy. The great mass
es Of the people comprised in the third
division of small taxpayers seldom
have anything to say in the choice of
the electors who name the deputy. As
a matter of fact, it is estimated that
less than 10000 Prussian families
name the great majority of the depu-
ties, and these, with the peers, control
Prussia, and, in consequence, the en-
pire. Every citizen of Germany may
vote for members of the Imperial
Reichstag, but this body has no con-
troll over the ministry cannot force
legislation not acceptable to the upper
house, cannot deny credits, and, in
general, its members can do little but
talk
