There are a g00d many young orchards yet to come into bearing, so that it is probable that each year for the next three or four will see an increase of yield from the Connecticut orchards. The lower prices and the con- tinued spread of the yellows will probably discourage much further planting, so it is probable that within two or three years we shall have reached the full high tide of the present peach boom. The next legislature will probably be asked to re-enact the yel- lows law, which this industry and all in- telligent cultivaters demand. Most of the commercial orchardists for their own pro- tection have kept right on pulling and burning diseased trees as soon as dis- covered, but driving about the state with one’s eyes open can be seen in private ardens yellow-infected trees on almost every mile of country traveled. As there is now no way to force their removal, most of them will remain to hinder their owners’ attempt to grow more and better peaches, as well as poison the air of all the neigh- borhood. Constant agitation may bring enlightenment, and with it greater success. BALTIMORE AND RETURN SUNDAY, °am" IN HONOR OF KEANE (Continued from Tenth Page.) ‘Washington a high place in the capitals of the world is the Catholic University of America. We have a just pride in its noble edifices, in its high stan of learning, and its popular course of lectures, and especially are we proud of him who was the first rector of the institution, the dis- tinguished prelate who is the honored guest of this evening. (Applause.) Without dts- tinction of sect or creed, we deplore his de- parture to another post of duty. We have learned to know him as the strong and forceful advocate of all that tended to the best interests of a common country, to re- spect him as one whose life was an ex- pcnent of the faith which he professes. We have learned to love him with unfeigned af- ‘fection and regard, and we hope that all his future life may be crowned by just such blessings as he himself has conferred upon his fellow-men.” : This felicitous expression, which so ap- propriatel» closed the altogether impressive tribute of Mr. Ross, was cheered to the echo. Expressions From Absentees. The height of enthusiasm was yet to be reached, however, and it came later, after Mr. Dominick I. Murphy had read a list of well-known men who were unable to be preseat, and extracts from letters which contained feeling tributes to Archbishop Keane. + “Secretary Sherman, who was unavoidably prevented at the very last moment from being present, wrote that in the brief ac- quaintance he had with Archbishop Keane he had learned to appreciate his ability, his piety and his fidelity to duty, and would be giad, indeed, to pay him any mark of respect or honor in his power. President Whitman of Columbian Col- lege wrote: “It is a matter of deep regret to me that I shall be unable to be present on account of absence from the city. If it were possible, I should come home on pur- pose to honor Dr. Keare, for whom I feel the greatest admiration, but I shall have to be content with sending good wishes. These, however, are most abundant and most sincere.” Hr. Crosby S. Noyes, in the course of his legter regretting his inability to be present, said: “I have so warm an appre- ciation of the high character, scholarship, sturdy Americanism, broad and liberal spirit and the inestimable value of his services in the cause of morality and good citizenship, that it would have given me Breat satisfaction to have taken a part in this testimonial to him.” Justice Martin F. Morris of the District Court of Appeals wrote as follows: “The zeal, the earnestness and the eminent good qualities have so endeared Archbishop Keane to the people of Washington as fully to justify all the recognition which we can well give them.” The following letter from Mr. Charles J. Bonaparte cf Baltimoré was warmly re- ceived: “In my humble judgment, no American prelate of our time has done more to show our fcllow-countrymen, whether within or without the Catholic Church, that she is, indeed, ‘catholic’ in the true and too often forgotten sense of the word— a church wherein there is a place for the ignorant and also for the learned, for the poor and for the rich, for men of all races, and for those attached to every form of government which may minister to human happiness, and that she has nothing to fear from the idening of man’s knowl- edge of the universe or from the steady and rapid growth of free institutions among all enlightened nations.” Mr. Murply, when he had concluded the reading, expressed to Archbishop Keane the dep sentiments of affection and ad- miration entertained for him ,by the guests who represented all Washington and all the country, and wished him God-speed on his return to Rome and a life full of bless- ing and peace. A Remarkable Demonstration. When Chairman Berret arose and an- nounced that the distinguished guest would address his friends and countrymen there was a demonstration to which the former evidences of enthusiasm shown during the evening were but weak. The entire as- semblage rose en masse and with glasses held high above their heads cheered the great and good man they had gathered to honor. Archbishop Keane was visibly af- fected at the demonstration. In his ad- dress this feeling was shown again. Es- pecially true was this of the periods when his manly and forcible and significant al- lusions to the things that have been so hurt- ful to his sensibilities in the past were re- ceived with such magnificent outbursts of approval. Seldom, indeed, has the eloquent orator been heard to such advantage. Those who have been familiar with the music of his voice, the smooth and sonorous sentences so replete with meaning and wisdom, of which he is so eminently the master ever since he was beginning his famous carer as a simple priest at St. Patrick’s Church never listened to him with greater interest or more loyal and loving approval. ‘The reception given him when he arose was emphasized and accentuated throughout his address, and when he closed with his peroration so full of promise for his church, his country and humanity, there were many moist eyes in the assemblage, met with the blended emotions of effective sympathy, and hearty hope for a future career, in which Archbishop Keane might never know a failure, a misrepresentation or_a disappointment. This address was listened to with con- suming interest by all, but none were more animated by his words than the distin- guished representatives of the national government. To them his sentences were pregnant with significance. Archbishop Keane's Address. Archbishop Keane spoke as follows: “Mr. Chairman: This tribute of friend- ship offered me by men whom I honor and friends whom I love touches me pro- foundly. To thcse who have so kindly of- fered it, to his eminence, our -beloved car- linal, to the most reverend apostolic dele- gate, to the numerous honored representa- tives of our national and District govern- ments, and to the other distinguished p: ies and gentlemen who honor the o om by their presence I return thanks from the depths of a grateful heart.. “The citizens of W: ington whom you, sir, so worthily represent, are pleased to suill consider me as their fellow-townsman. I thank them fer the kind sentiment, and am happy to assure them that no matter where Providence may be pleaséd, now -or hereafter, to make me a sojourner, I shall always be proud to remain a citizen of this fair capital of our great republic. More than thirty-one years ago, in 1866, my life was linked with the city of Wash- ington. She was then far from being the splendid city that we now behold her. Since then we have seen her wondrously de- veloped and beautified and clad with all the majesty that befits her rank among the capital cities of the world. But she had then, as now, that one quality which makes her peerless, incomparable—she was, as she is, the capital of the United States, the very heart of the life blood of our country. (Applause.) The Significance of the Capital. “To live in such a city, to enter into the spirit of its Ufe, to be molded by the in- fluence of its character, is a privilege to be thankful for, is a very education in itself, And most grateful.am I that such was the providence of my life. “Pardon me, dear friends, if the current of thought inspired by this occasion, the memories which it evokes, shape my re- fiections into personal reminigcences. Like St. Paul, I must say that you are responsi- bie for it, that your exceeding kindness coerces me to it. “At first Washington was to me a very commonplace city, a mere field of ministe- rial work. But little by little its real char- acter—nay, Must say, its providential significance as the cap‘tal of our country— grew into me and tock possession of me. Our great civil war was just over. Amid the animosities still naturally surviving it the genius of our country was guiding things toward union and peace. And it seemed to me that Washington was placed- here on the shore of the Potomac at the very meeting point of the two great sec- tions as a mighty link between them. It was as if the father of our country, whose name she so appropriately bears and whose ashes rest so close by, stood here with out- stretched arms clasping north and south in an embrice of inseparable union. And so I came to love the Unton, to love the whole country, and sectionalism for me an impossibility. (Great applause.) Patriotism Above Party. “Next I was influenced by the peculiar relation of our city to.the politics of the country. The seat of our national govern- ment was most wisely made independent not only T litical strife. Campaigns were to have no place in Washington, be- cause they n ly savor of party dif- ferences and party 4aterests, whereas she was to symbol®@@ tH@ union of all parties for the iar ge And, therefore, lit- tle by little, ju8t “a¥’ sectionalism became an ibility for me, so did partisanship. The force of my Evironment naturally meade me not arperty man, but a patriot. and elections “This-is not jto be any disparage- ment of parties Party men and poli- tics. Friendly, homest, honorable clash and strife of opimions, of convictions as to the best lines ofpubllic action, of plans for the promotion and private inter- ests; this is Inevitabi; nay, even desirable. It is a symptom; of healthful vigor in the nation. It ts an:evidence of intelligent and active interest in :the public welfare. To feel that interest ‘and exert that activity for the advancement’ of local and national prosperity is the bounden duty of every worthy citizen. And if, as reflecting men declare, this can best be done through par- ty organization, then every good citizen should see to it that party organization may mean intelligent, conscientious, hon- orable co-operation for what the members of the organization believe to be for the public good. “But while seeing that all this is un- questionably true, I. was none the less grateful that my identifeation with the naional capital lifted me to what I could not but consider a-higher level than the |_ party arena, made-me a sincere friend and upholder of what is true and right in cach of the parties. and, as far as might be, a counsellor of that unselfish patriotism which makes the interaction of the differ- ent parties co-operate for the:promotion of public-mindedness, and for the symmetri- cal, harmonious, justly balanced and safe advance of our country in her march of onward pregress. -(Applause Jons contin- ved.) Influence on the 01d World. “Next I came to appreciate the place and the influence of our country in the politics of the world and the social advance of man- kind. And then I saw how wisely Wash- ington had been placed heré on our At- lantic coast, as a link between the old world and the new, gladly receiving from the old world the results of its hoary wis- dom and long experience for our country’s safe guidance in her new pathway, and then reciprocally wafting back to the old world whatever in our fresh and eager and untrammeled experience might redound to the welfare of the older peoples. And thus I came to recognize that our country, in being, as Leo XIII called her, ‘the land of hope, the land of the future,’ was destined by Providence to be such not only for her own welfare, but for the welfare of all the upward struggling races of mankind. And thus, with the heart not only of a patriot, but of a priest, I came to love America ever more and more, and the conviction grew to be a very part of me that Ameri- ca’s influence in the world was meant to be far the world’s good, and that it was her providential mission and duty to help the world upward—not, indeed, as the old world demagogues imagine, by methods of revo- lutionism and upheaval, but by the gradu- al leavening of the world with just ideas, and by calm, orderly, peaceful, irresistible advance toward fairer and freer and hap- pier human conditions.” The effect of these words was shown in the outburst that greeted them. Harmony of Church and Country. Continuing, Archbishop Keane said: “In so very important and so every way desirable a work, it was manifest to ine that the old Church of Christ, the mother of Christian civilization, ought to have a potent and even a principal part. And as I advanced in age'gnd influence I considered it my bounden duty to impress this convic- tion on all whom ft ‘concerned. Tie more Tully I came to. appreciate both the spirit of the church and the genius of America, the more profoundly: did I become con- vinced of the essential harmony between them and of their hegven-imposed duty to co-operaie with each pther for the welfare of America and of the world. If there has been anything specially characteristic in my career, it is to this conviction that it is due, and I am deeply grateful to Provi- dence that so it. has heen. “For the realizatiomet so vast and noble a purpose, I have, been not only anxious to do conscientiously! my ‘own humble part, but ready to give just re¢ognition to whatever any believer in Christ, or even any in God, might be-striwing to do towar same great eng.’ Capping critics» have as- serted that in -this I’ minimized’ Catholic truth and dragged ‘It down to the level of man-made and imperfect Christian systems, or even of heathen unbelief. In saying so they have totally, and, I eannot but fear, wiligully misrepresented me. I have wlways been glad, and even proud, to utter the full- ness of truth in any assemblage of human beings who care for the truth; for I hold with St. Paul that to believers and unbe- levers, to Gentiles and to Jews, the Church of Christ is still a debtor. But I have never forgotten that the power of the truth con- sists in its presentation in all its symmetry and beauty and fullness; I have never sac- rificed or compromised one tittle or tota of it; and théy who assert that I have: as- sert what is false. May God forgive them; I have no controversy with them.” ‘The Effect Upon the Assemblage. There was nobility and loftiness in the superb eloquence with which the speaker uttered these sentences, and the broad charity of the views he expressed so ear- nestly had tremendous effect upon his lis- teners. There was a spontaneous ebullition of applause, in which sympathy deep and sincere as evident as admiration for the exquisite beauty of the language with which he embellished his ideas, and as he stood awaiting the cessation of the tribute, he was the ideal representative of the pro- gressive in religion, to whom and his col- leagues and followers the world is destined to owe so much. Especially entertaining were the remarks ich followed. Divine Providence, and the our holy father, the pope,” he pleased that my career in Washington should be crowned by the part which T have had in the establishment of the Cath- olic University of America here in our na- tional capital, Reflection and experience had made it clear both to our holy father and to the bishops of the United States that an essential need of our age is an efti- cient antidote for the erroneous philoso- phies, the mistaken science, and the merely secular instruction, which are leading men astray from the truth of Christy They were persuaded that this antidote is to be found in Christian knowledge—that is, in the toiality of knowledge with God and Christ for its very heart and animating principle, and therefore in Christian edu- cation, from its lowest grades to its high- est and most scientific advances. They were convinced that thé crown of the Christian educational system must bé a university, distinct from and superior to all the schools and all the colleges, yet allied to them all, linked with them all, locked up to and co-operated with by them all, ‘the center and summit of them all. They located it, as to them seemed wisest, in our national ‘capital, and they called upon all the friends of Christian educa- ticn throughout the country, and upon all the Catholic educational institutions of the country, to rally'to ifs support and to put ferth their noblfst ‘orts for its founda- tion, for its deyelopment, for its attain- ment, to the full height of its glorious mis- sion. It wis'to be a living embodiment and Mustration of the *h&érmony between rea- son and ‘revelation, Hetween science and religion, betwedH, tht’ genius of America and the Church ,¢f., it. ‘Such Leo XIII declared it to be3.as quch it was welcomed by all right-minded people, and the results of their generous’ résponse speak for them- selves. (Great agplause.)

Archbishop Keane's Career. ~< The personality of Archbishop Keane 1s as familiar to Washingtonians regardless of creed, color or condition as it is loved and admired, and his achievements are equally a part of the history of the com- munity. A sketch of his career, therefore, will be of general interest at this time, particularly when the eminent patriot, citi- zen, philanthropist, educator and church- man is approaching the zenith of his fame and reaching that effulgence of content and success which ever shines far atove the clouds of envy and malice. Archbishop Keane came to Washington soon after his ordinaticn as a priest, and was maée assistant pastor at St. Patrick's Church, taking the place of Father Mc- Carthy, who was made pastor of the Im- maculate Conception Church. As the as- sistant to Father Walter, Father Keane at once displayed that earnestness and devo- tion to duty that have developed in such an eminent degree as he has advanced in churchly dignity and honor. He also mani- fested great interest in all moral reforms, particularly the cause of temperance, and it will be remembered that in February, 1877, he and Bishop Newman of the M. E. Church spoke from the same platform at a great temperance mass mecting at Lincoln Hall. Father Keane also took a deep in- terest in everything that pertained to the welfare or advancement of the national capital and became recognized as a public spirited citizen. To his energy and counsel is due in a large measure the successful development of the Carroll Institute, an institution that is particularly beneficial to the young men of the Catholic Church, and which now boasts of as completely fitted up a building, with every facility for ration- al enjoyment for young men, as there is in the country. A Scholar and Orator. All this time Father Keane was ‘levelop- ing intellectually, and was gaining a rep- utation as one of the most profound schol- ars and effective orators in the Catholic Church. His great abilities attracted the attention of the officials of the church, ant he was marked for advancement. This came when the bishopric of Richmond be- cxme vecant; he was chosen to that im- pertant diocese. His administration of affairs there still further coramended him to his superiors, aid as he had a wider scope for his abil- ities, so did his reputation for scholastic attainments and persuasive oratory ex- tend, and when the gift of $300,000 by Miss. Caldwell was made as the nucleus of a fund for the establishment of a Catholic University in this city Bishop Keane was selected as the rector of the proposed in- stitution, and to him was intrusted all the prelimir ary work of raising funds and pianning for the buildings, the faculties and the courses of studies. How well performed this most arduous task is now a matter of histcry, and the splendid condi- tion of the university and its great suc- cess, even in its infancy, are monuments to Bishop Keane's indefatigable industry, his great executive ability and his indomitable perseverance. He founded it upon broad lines—first for the glory of God and then for the elevation of mankind. His work in this respect was a labor of love as well’ as of duty. He loved the city of Washington, where he had spent the best years of his early manhood, and he believed that the national capital should become the center of learning in the United States. He be- Meved that the Catholic University would ccrtribute to that end, and he bent ail his great energies to making it worthy the ob- ject for which it was inteded and the city in which it was located. The Catholic University. With the opening of the Catholic Uni- versity Bishop Keane again became a resi- dent of this city and renewed his interest in local affairs, so that again he was recog- nized as a public-spirited citizen of the District. How highly he was regarded by the community in every respect—as a clergyman, as a scholar, as a man and as a citizen—was abundantly evidenced at the meeting held the Carroll Institute to protest against his removal from the rec- tcrship of the university he had been so largely instrumental in establishing. That meeting was a tribute such as is rarely paid to a man, no matter what his prom- inence in a community may be, and it serv- ed to emphasize ir an eminent degree the great regard which was felt for Bishop Keane by all classes of citizens, c tive of political or religious beliefs That protest failed to change the papal order for his removal. but it must have impressed the hierarchy of the value of Bishop Keane to the church in this coun- y, for he was promoted to higher ec- stical honors and during his re: dence in Rome he has enjoyed the conti- dence and church. He came back to this country as an arch- bishop, but he returns to Rome also as strong an American as when he left. His residence abroad has not dwarfed his | irresy respect of the head of his eral views, bat has rather expanded them. ——— THE GERMAN EMPEROR. Eulogy Upon His Administration by a = Resident Admirer. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I ask the privilege of an old subscriber and constant reader of your valuable paper of publishing a few remarks regarding the editorial, “Prince Bismarck’s Despond- ency,” which appeared in The Star a few days ago. A great newspaper like The Star, so uniformly fair in its discussion of public men and affairs, and usually so well informed on all topics of the day, is cer- tainly badly served with its news concern- ing Germany and the German emperor, and the only reason for its strictures on the latter is, I believe, that it sees everything concerning him through English and French glasses. There never was a public man so persistently abused and so relent- lessly persecuted by a large part of the public press as the German emperor is, and all through prejudice because the dire predictions of failure, war, political and commercial ruin, made by a large part of the continental press, ably seconded by English newspapers, have failed, and the contrary has been the result. : What are the charges, and what are the facts? That he has tried first one thing and then another? That is no reflection on his ca- pability or his honesty. All his critics ad- mit that he is sincere. He does what other statesmen do—serves his country as he thinks is best, submitting his views to his ministers, and through them to the reich- stag. If that body fails to pass the meas- ures, he is relieved from all responsibility. He has always acquiesced in the judgment of the law making power, and in not one = ‘ The BARS oe 7 a be more than enough for us. to easy payments. the other store: every yard of Carpet solid b: make no charge for the w.

William II is charged with rejecting good advice. Whose advice, and what advice has he rejected? Do his ministers, the only advisers he can have, tell the news- papers their business? It would be a good thing if they did, as we would then know whether or not the advice was good. * He ts said to want his own way. Now, was there ever a man who wanted his own Way more than Bismarck? All men in power, Salisbury and cthers, want their own way, more or less. I believe we have several bosses of our own. There have been fewer changes in the German govern- ment since William’s accession than have taken place in any other goverr ment, even in our own. To charge that the German government today is not nearly as great as it was a few years ago 1s gressly incor- tect. The Star, as every one else, knows that commercially and politically Ger- meny is greater today than it has ever been. Commercially she ranks second to England, and is gaining on her even in her by own colonies, as has been admitted English statesmen in the house of co mons. Diplomatically, Germany has never been so powerful as she is now, as evi- denced by the settlement of the war be- tween Greece and Tyrkey. For the first time in a hundred years England has ceased to be the dominant power in Europe. William II has brought this about, and every newspaper in Eng- land knows it, hence they vent their spleen upon him at every opportunity just to show, by way of illustration, the “innate sense of fairness of the Anglo-Saxon.” It is charged that William has made no new friends, and old ones have all but been alienated.. Most continental news- papers, even the better of the French journals, admit that the feeling between France and Germazy is better today than it has been since 1870, through the special efforts of William. I am speaking of the better element in France. The German emperor has strengthened the triple alli- ance, as has again been proved recently, and has established entire cordiality be- tween Germany and Russia, which had been lost through Bismarck by robbing that country of the fruit of its vietory over Turkey at the congress of Berlin and through other shady transactions. Now, as to the charge of being an up- holder of the belief in the divine right of kings. This causes the most acrimonious criticism, and one would think that he was the author of the theory, when, in fact, it has been accepted, if not believed, for ages in all monarchic countries. He has been reared in that belief, as his father and grandfather before him, and the most con- spicuous champion of it has always been Prince Bismarck, but he alone is held re- spo: sible, ignoring the existence of its older exponents. What harm is there in it after all, as long as he bows to the law of the land? These are the facts: Prince Bismarck, like some other great statesmen in Eu- rope, is sore over being shelved. Bismarck conduct of late, even his friends admit, has been far from patriotic. He is sc friends and foes alike. While he is a knowledged the greatest living German, the creator of the present empire, and has been honored as such by no man more than by Emperor William, before and since his retirement, his cay is gone by. He be- longs to another generation, though he fails to see it. A.
