THE LATEST CHANCELLOR.

Count Won Herting has at last been named
by the kaiser as DR.. Miehaelis successor. and
it is interesting apart from any significance
which this choice may have that il was deemed
advisable to retire DR. Michaehs from the i'm
perial chanceIlorship. 1t is eonfirmatory of re-
ports of continued unrest among the reich
stag groups. OF Won Hertling so little Is really
known that assumption of change of policy
coincident with his becoming chancellor Is
guesswork. He became prominent as leader
of centrists at a time when the catholic party
was active in opposition TO the pan-Ger1nan-
lists: he was then accounted friend 10 Austria
and TO policy OF no territorial enlargement or
indeannities. But it is difficult TO find con-
firrnatory evidence Of this attitude In any
statement directly attributed TO him. More
over. he is conservative in the matter of
changes in the form of the German parliament;
he has been quoted as declaring that electoral
reform in Prussia should be left TO Prussia
alone TO determine. Runlors OF his reluctance
to take the chancellorship lend color TO the!
supposition that he deems himself not wholly
IN accord with tie revival of nilitaristic senti-
nent which has followed the German victory in
Italy. But it viii be wise 10 regard him as an
unknown quantity politically; and 1t viii be-
equally wise TO remember always that the chan
sellor is now but mouthpiece for government
lie facto residing IN the emperor and his mill |
.ary advisers.

THE NEW TAXES.

George E. Bowers. deputy collector
OF internal revenue, in the Alton
Democrat: a preacher in Sioux City
last Sunday criticised the new reve-
nue. taxes because they were eually
distributed on the poor and rich. 1t
is quite likely that the members of
his congregation may get equally

steps TO over 60 per cent And about
$1,000. 100000 of the new taxes are
raised from incomes. The trouble
with that preacher is that he was
talking about something concerning
which he either knew nothing or
wished TO misreprssent. No tax law
was ever devised which did not con-
tain some provisions OF inequality,
but the present law has taxed the
rich man to the very limit And.

cal preacher, the rich man is paying

All that we have, all that we are,
Is now upon thine altar laid.
The noise Of battle sounds afar,
But be thou unafraid.
With hearts aflame at thy command
Thy sons shall fight and never tire.
About thee shall they rise and stand,

Thy flag made sacred by the VOW
For which our fathers fought and died,
Before the hosts Of freedom now
Again shall proudly ride
Above the clouds, beneath the sea,
On every ocean, every land,
It's stars and stripes proclaim for thee
The sword is in thy hand
Oh, God of Hosts, in whose dread name
Our firm foundations here were laid

Support us by thine aid,
Until this work that we deem thine
The victor's garland shall attain.
So that our life blood spilled like wine,
Shall not be shed in vain

CLARK A POOR BUFFER.

Speaker Champ Clark has been made the
goat for long line of people who have been
making vague and general charges In the last
few years, and vet one can hardly sympathize
with him. He is old enough IN years and ex-
perience to guard against mistakes which
others have been able TO commit and get away
with them. He should have realized that soon
er or later someone would call the bluff and
that it would be embarrassing TO show his
hand.
Fortunately for most buffers, few call the
bluff. Champ Clark, however, was in the list
of unlucky men who make indiscrirninate
charges of rascality and are called to account.
Having seen other men get away with that sort
OF stuff, he easily yielded to the temptation to
try it himself.
When Clark made his hapless charge that
ring IN Wall street" was working against
the financial policy of the government, he very
hkeiy was sun carrying in the back of his head

PLAIN EXTORTION.

The Prussian imperial government has begun
what it calls the liquidation Of property
owned by French subjects of Alsace- Lorraine
This, in plain English, means that the govern
Ement is confiscating the homes, industries,
property and estates of inhabitants who have
sons in the French army aand daughters en-
gagged in nursing there or who can be accused
lof sympathy with France. There is said to be
three hundred million dollars worth of prop
lerty owned by French subjects in those prov
inces, and twice much more belonging to
families with French affiliations which the i'm
perial government will find excuses for taking
over.
In addition to the incalculable amount of
property which the Prussians have DESTROYED
in Belgium and the valuables they have carried
away, they have taken millions Of dollars
from the people in exactions and fines. And
yet there are pro-Germans in America, pre-
tended pacifsts and others, who argue for
peace without indemnities- peace with.

done
