RUSSIA HATES GERMANY Numerous Unfriendly Acts Occurred During the Kaiser's Late Visit. the Rulers Are Evidently mxious for Friendship, Their Sab- jects Are Notoriously Hostile. From the New York World. Although a brief announcement has been mede cf the fact that a German sailor who had used his saber to kiil a Russian com- rade at Cronstadt during the visit of the kziser to St. Pt sburg nad been hanged as a murderer two days after Emperor Wil- lism had sailed for home, yet it is only now { that the Novce Vremya, the leading Rus- sian newspaper, ventures to call public at- tention to the fact that the affray between the German and Russian sailors at Cron- stadt was by no means the only incident of the kind that signalized the kaiser’s visit to the czar. William w.s not welcome, and had come self-invited, and although he was received with every conceivable courtesy by the czac ard czarind, yet the general pubiic, and in articular the military ren, did not hesi- tate to show by their behavior how little they appreciated the visit of the Germans. The latter were exposed to every conceiv able annoyance and slight whenever they appeared in public. Insult to German Pride. One evening a number of German officers of the emperor’s entourage were being en- tertained at one of the city gardens or parks by a number of Russian officers of the Imperial Guard, who had been assigned by 2 czar himself to this by no means congenial duty. Suddenly the band which was playing struck up the ‘Marseillaise,” whereupon all the public attending, includ- ing the Russian officers present, rose from their seats and bared their heads in compli- ment to the country which has adopted this inspiricg song and tune as its national hymn. The German officers, as guests of their Russian comrades, had no alternative but to do likewise. But they did it in such an ungraciovs and sneering manner and gave stch undisguised signs of exasperation that the public present became distinctly ‘hostile in its manifestations, and when the Ger- mans were passing out of the garden a-man deiiberately got in the way of one officer, jcstled him and trod on his foot without apologizing, and with the obvious intent of insulting him. Ran the Russian Through. Without 2 minute’s hesitation the officer whipped out his sword and ran the Rus- sian through the body, mortally wounding him. According to military ethics in the monarchical countries of continental Eu- repe he had no alternative. This was real- ized by the Russian officers, who crowded around him to prevent him from being torn to pieces by the infuriated public, then es- corted him on board ship, where, after the matter had been reperted to tne kaiser, he was placed under easy arrest until the squadron sailed. Had the affair happened in England or in the Uri States a demand would have for his immediate surrender, the German emperor might have made that a reigning monarch on his travels was entitled to the same prerc tives and immunities from local jurisdiction as his ambassador—immunities that are ex- ed to the suite—would have been ex- ed and passed upon by the tribunals. Cenr Declined to Act. But the czar declizied to raise any suci controversy. He knew that his own offi- cers would have been expected to act in precisely the same way had they been sub- jected to any such insult in Germany. Moreover, it is extremely probable that Emperor William would have refused to :rrender the officer, of whose behavior he approved. So the matter was hushed up, ard, although everybody in St. Petersburg was talking about it, the newspapers were forbidden to publish anything about it for the time, telegraphic dispatches to foreign newspapers about the matter being barred by_the censor. ‘The whole affair serves to show how very strained are the relations between the Ger- Tans and the Russians, and at the same time deserves to be placed on record as an incident uniqve in modern times. ——+e+—_. Increased Exports of Brendstuafts. The monthly comparative statement of the exports of breadstuffs, cotton, mineral olls, cattle and hogs and provisions during the month of August shows as follows: Breadstuffs, $25,502,532, increase as com- pared with August, 1896, about $11,000,600; cotton, $1,703,818, decrease about $1,700,000; mineral oils, $5,691,348, increase nominal; cattle and hogs, $2, increase about $500,009; provisions, $12,233,137, increase nearly $1,750,000.

It has been shaken by causes, and those causes must be removed. Men and nations and the whole civilized part of the race go from one extreme to another. These alternations seem as nee- essary as the ebb and flow of the tides of the ocean. When the business of the world gets infiated at certain periods it will go too far, and then there must be a setile- ment. It must be settled who owns the property, and until that is established nothing else can be done. Those who nom- inally own property resist this. They hope some miracle will help. Then after settle- ment, if any laws be deemed necessary, they must be passed or there will be further delay. Some false starts may be taken, like that to which the Venezuelan war cloud gave such a chilling frost. The Return of Prosperi But, finally, when all things are ready, something always happens which develops the fact that confidence has returned, and. lo! the whole world has a different aspect. Wheels begin to turn, freight begins to move, commerce resumes her full sway, ore by one each employment takes up its march ahd the nation as a whole goes to work again, urged on by the never-dying yearning for the increase of wealth to be consumed for pleasure or wealth to be hearded for reproduction—until the time comes all stand fearful on the brink. When it will come no one can tell beforehand, but that it will finally come, every wise man knows. Has it come now? Is it close upon us? It is always unwise to prophesy about the immediate future, for it may be remem- bered against you if you go wrong. and as you are only mortal the chances of being right are against you. It is better to prophesy about things to happen in a hun- dred years, cr preferably in a thousand, for then if you go wrong you are all dead distributed. rtheless, all the symptoms of pros- perity are here. Men are willing te lend mcney and sensible men are willing to take it and risk it in new enterprises. In a word, it looks like 1879. Another encouraging symptom is that the fir ancial medicine men are now explaining in a low tone of voice why what they said in such loud tones last year was not so. This is the prelude to the utter silence which will fall_upon them in due time, a silence which will be the signal that the world has settled one other financial prob- lem in the only way it can be settied, and that is, in the minds of the people. A good many questions have been settled these last few years. In all the debates in the House this past session there was but ore man who even mentioned the ‘con- sumer,” and he was from Kentucky. In ether years, if you could believe our de- bates, we hed no population except “con- sumers;”” producers did not exist. Not a word did we have in tne debates of this year about the need of low prices. We al- ready had them, ard mouths which used to start the echoes in wild longings for low prices were devising plans for raising prices and acted as if they had never helped on what Mr. Thomas Carlyle d to call “the career of cheap and nasty. The Rise in the Price of Wheat. In the Philadelphia Press of yesterday Speaker Thomas B. Reed discussed the con- dition of the country as follows: Civiliza- tion $s education, but it is something more. It is not only the bringing out of the human faculties and powers, but it is also the successful application of them to the problems of lite. The laws of inanimate nature we can easily understand to be inflexible. If we are once sure that we have taken observations enough, we are eqaally sure that inanimate nature will work the same way under what seem to us the same circumstances. Of course, we never get perfect knowledge and are al- ways finding out exceptions. But in a general wey we are always right about matter end always feel satisfied that we can predict what it will do. The steam engine will always work its machinery and the cars will always turn on their wheels. It was not so in the beginning. We used to be very much in the dark and felt our way to all these things. But while we have come to the simple truth, thet inanimate nature can be fathomed, we are as much in the Gark as to the action of great bodies of men. Nevertheless, there is reason to believe that mankind as a mass acts by determinate laws; the courses and direc- tions of which we are every day more and more firding out. - This nation hes had to have a special eaucation in finance because {ts circum- stances and surroundings were and are dif- ferent from those of any other nation in the history of the world. It is true that before our day vast empires have been peopled by immigration and have flourished. But our empire has been peopled, not long ago, but in cur day, in which there has been invented every’ appliance to enable men to exploit the riches of the earth. Moreover, beyond any other period in the world’s histery capital has been esser.- tial to the utilization of the riches of lands such ?s ours. Costly Capital Makes Lasting Wealth. We in the east are very much prone to blame the west for its attitude in financial struggles, but the western people are under strong temptations always. They can see the wealth of their country and all its great possibilities, and, becoming impa- tient at the slow approach of confidence and capital, are tempted beyond measure to use all those appliances of the art of financiering which seem so easy and are in the long run so ruinous. We had our periods, we in the east, when we ran to paper money as to a savior and found it a satan. Our very constitution, in its tak- ing away from the states the right to issue paper money, is the result of the sufferings undergone by olir ancestors in the east, which sufferings are depicted in Sumner’s “History of American Currency.” ‘We have learned the lesson, but ought not to be too impatient with those who have not. We jhave learned and others will have to learn that in the end it is capi- tal which costs, that makes wealth which lasts. It is true that we may make a capi- tal which does not cost, but it is a dan- AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA Death of Dr. Bedford Brown, a Prominent Confederate Veteran. Trials of Aison Cases Set for the 20th Instant — Opening of Public Schools. Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King St., Bell Telephone No. 106, ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 13, 1897. Dr. Bedford Brown, one of Alexandria’s most prominent physicians, died at his home on North Washingtcn street at an early hour this morning, after a painful illness. While Dr. Brown has been on the sick list for come time, his death is a great shock to the community in which he has so long resided and been so highly re- spected. Dr. Hunter McGuire of Richmond arrived here yesterday morning for the purpose of performing an operation on Dr. Brown, which, it was hoped, would result in pro- longing his life.” Thé operation was per- formed by Dr. McGuire last night, assisted by Dr. Hugh McGuire and Dr. George T. Klipstein. Dr. Brown appeared to stand the operation very well, but along about morning he grew worse, and soon passed to the great beyond. Dr. Brown has been a resident of Alex- andria for a long term of years, and Alex- andria has not a citizen that was more highly respected or more beloved. He was a Christian gentleman of the noblest type, and was always a friend to those in affliction or distress. He was a prominent member of R. E. Lee Camp, Confederate Veterans, having served through the en- tire war between the states as medical director of the army of North Carolina. Dr. Brown was a son of the late Senator Brown of North Carolina. He has always been prominent in medical circles through- cut the country, and although he was a physician of the old school he persistently kept up with every advance of the medi- cal science. As a lecturer he has on more than one occasion shown he possessed a master’s mind in the treatment of the subject under discussion. His comrades in R. E. Lee Camp, Confederate Veterans, his personal friends and the citizens gen- erally deeply mourn his death and sympa- thize greatly with his bereaved family. ue leaves a widow and three grown chil- ren.

We have to learn for ourselves not because we are not bright enough to learn as quickly as anybody or to learn from anybody, but because our circumstances are different and our tempta- tions greater. We think our country must be an exception and hurt ourselves much in finding that it is not. What a nation finds out for itself, how- ever, stays longer than what some one else finds out for it. The last few months have been full of education for the whole American people. There has been nothing really new about it, but there has been one more repetition to make the lesson solid. In time no one will dispute the sure succession of events and thereafter patent remedies for hard times and patent elixirs for prosperity will have had their day. Downing of the Greenback Specter. What a striking resemblance there is be- tween 1896 and 1897 and the years of our Lord 1878 and 1879. These years are within the personal memories of eyery man in middie life. In 1878 the air was resonant with denunciations of the wicked men who would not issue all the greenbacks which a sufiering people demanded. Here was a sure remedy for great ills and yet the re- morseless rulers would not stir a finger or print a single bit of paper. John Sherman was denounced on all hands, Samuel J. Tilden declared that only a vast central reservoir of coin could pro- tect us against the failure of the proposed return to specie payments in 1879. The farmer was at his worst, ruined, destroyed eaten up by taxes and usury. Down al. most to the very day of resumption the croaking came with dismal and damnable iteration. Some capitalist even proclaimed his readiness to give thousands and thou- sands of dollars to stand at the treasury first in the row of that vast multitude which would surely assemble on the first resumption day. That very autumn, at the September election, the state of Maine, Mr. Blaine’s own state, in a campaign under his able and skillful leadership, went over to the fiat enemy, horse, foot and draguons, changing a majority of 14,000 for sound money to a majority of 14,000 in favor of the wildest carnival of unreason that ever overwhelmed an intelligent people. When the Ist of January came no crowds throng- ed the subtreasury ° corridors. Hardly a greenback was presented and we got back to the currency of: the world without a movement or a jar. The Prosperity of 1897. From that moment preeperity- began, not the eternal prosperity of the New Jerusa- lem, but an earthly Prosperity enduring as long as human nature would permit. New York Central was 112 ana went to 120. Northwest common rose from 60 to 91; the preferred from 85 to 104. St. Paul from 29 to 79; the preferred from 66 to 100, and all the rest of them in like propor- tien. Of course, the greenback leaders ex- plained that this was all temporary, be- cause n> real prosperity could come with- out greenbacks. Nevertheless, the world went cn. Theroswas n& lack of money, because we had,businesa: which paid, and whenever a nation has buginess which pays it can draw on the money of the whole world. : e How like this &re the’évents of the last twelve months!:;Prior oto the passage of the tariff act we hadi:scenes like those which preceded the firstiday of 1879.. The offerers of the patent remedy stood by and Jeered. They macked at us when our fear came. But when the due legislation had been had, and there was-no further change to be looked forward sto, when business had reached its sound basis, and there hdres a coanonabie Pigg noe ie the ‘ure, there ar of the phe- nomena of ise % Stocks have gone . not because gam blers have ues because men’s minds have chi , atid the whole nation 50 we sell at a profit: that is all. You will be no better off in the end, for such acci- dents cannot happen in the future. Ycu will have to pay hich prices for what you buy, and so you will be in the same case in another year as you were year before last. What idle talk this'is! The returns from the wheat crop and the other cereals spent in purchases start the nation to work. Wren the nation once géts to work it will not stop until it gets out of gear again, and then it will halt, and then it will go on again—a succession of like events forever and forever. These eminent gentlemen might as weil say to the pendulum o7 a wound-up clock just started: “You had better give up this weary job. You were started with a push and nobody is going to sit up nights to keep on pushing you.” Every historic period of revival has bee! like this. Some event at the ripe momer happers, like the resumption of specie p: ments, the setting of money in motion by reduction of the interest on part of the national debt, the passage of a tariff bill which, rightly or wrongly, the people bi lieved in.’ Human nature and human af- fairs, made ready for the change, have al- ways done the rest. This talk of these gentlemen about prices and accidents and this recrimination about dead and buried speeches show them to be still groping about among the unde brush, while sensible men are standing o the mountain top ard beholding the earth to the very horizon’s edge. The view may not be of the whole round earth, but it is better than the view from the jungle. THOMAS B.

Arson Case: The case of Richard Burnett, charged with having set fire to the barn of Con- stant Ponnett in West End, an account of which appeared in The Star, will come up in the Fairfax county court the 20th instant. Already the greater part of the Alexandria police furce has been sum- moned as witnesses in the case. The case of George Chichester, on the same charge, will be heard at the same time. City Council. There will be a special meeting of the city council tonight at $ o'clock to con- sider several matters of importance relat- ing to street improvements.

Arthur G. Smith, a well-known colored citizen, came along and acted the part of peacemaker, separat- ing the boys.
