Chancellor von | Caprivi and the elevation of Prince Ho- henlohe to the chancellorship of the German empire has aroused a renewed interest in that somewhat anomalous and too little understood office under the in- perial constitution. In ordinary con- versation the chancellor is referred to much the same as is the prime minister land, or the premier of the binet, or the secretary of sty in the United States, and in the popular estimation the character and duties of these offices are substantially identical. A closer examination of the coustitu- tional law of the German empive, how- ever, soon discloses the unique position which the chancellor occuples and makes the chancellorship a most sugges- tive topic of study. The chancellor is the prineipal minis- terlal officer of the German emperor. The constitution requires that every official act of the emperor, excepting only those performed in the capacity of military commander, be countersigned Dy the chancellor. In fact the chancel- lor s the only imperial minister, the other advisers of the emperor acting not as imperial officers, but as members of the I'russian ministry. There is nothing to prevent the chancellor from being at the same time the head of the Prussian ministry Bismarck held the two places from the founding of the empire until lis retivement, when the present em- peror assigned them to two different officials. Now Prince Hohenlohe has been invested with the honors formerly enjoyed by Bismarck and plays the dnal role of both royal and imperial adviser. The chancellor is by virtue of his posi- tion president of the fede council and may furthermore act by a duly ap- pointed representative whenever he is unable to act in person. While the chancellor thus assumes all the legal responsibility for the various orders which he countersigns for the emperor, his political responsibility is not defined in the constitution. It has, however, been more or less defined in practice, Being appointable and re- movable by the emperor alone, neither the federal council nor the Reichstag have any power to force his resignation in opposition to the emperor's wishes. The chancellorship, therefore, does not change with every ehange in the politi- cal complexion of the Reichstug. The chancellor retains his position whether his measures are aceepted or rejected so long as his course continues to satisty the emperor. On the other hand, no amount of backing in the Reichstag can force the emperor to appoint a chancel- lor with whose policy Le does uot aj d corruption will do weil | none of the ‘M-rluml charges against Thomas J. Ma- | the reigning empe corporation | denied | | the s, | | sumed would be nor to diswiss one who Is performing his duties satisfactorily, this re- spect e resembles an American eabinet officer more than an Boglish or Freneh minister. It would, of course, be possi ble to convert the chancellor into a re- sponsible ministerial officer with a full cabinet behind him, responsible to the fmperial legislature, but that would rob the emperor of his present commanding position in legislative and xecutive matters. No such transformation is to be expected, at least during the Iife of v AN ACT OF RETALIATION. e general opinion regarding the exclugion of American eattle from Ge many is that it is an act of retaliation, charge that eattle exported from this countr afficted with fever being a pretext. This Is un- doubtedly the view at Washington, tho it would not be expressed in official circles in face of the statement of the German ambassador that there was no political motive: behind — the action, and it is the opinion, also, of the exporters of eattle. In reforring to " few ro it was sug- gested that probs as intended as . warning to this government of what | may be expected unless the diserimina- tion against German sugar is removed and subsequent developments s show that such is the . E E trade of Germ with the United States has grown, to large proportions having about doubled in the last three years. In 1802 we i that country to the amount of 173,000,- 000 pornd 18028, 325,000,000 pounds, and in 1804, 354,000,000—the figures for the latter year being subject to correc tion which will doubtless increase them. This great growth in the sugar rts from Germany to this countr s taken place sinee the agreement under the reciprocity clause of the Me- Kinley law, which opened the German to our hog produc It was | ir and equitable exchange and one Which the German government as- wment, or at any rate would be 1 as long as it was found to be mutually advan- tgeous. Under the new tariff law the agr ment becomes necessarily one-sided, for even if there should be no diminution in our importations of Germs the differential dv the injury of the producers of count whether the German gov ment abandon the export bounty « not, and thus all reciprocity is de- stroyed. It is not reasonable to sup- pose that Germany will submit to any- thing of this kind. "That country ¢ &et along without our eattle and with- out our hog products. She did so for some twelye years or m and she can do so again. There is a large element of her people who would be very glad to have lLer markets closed to all our meats and they are not without in- fluence with the government, The farmers of Germany are a powerful cla and they are making a most ur- gent demand for better protection from the government, not without command- ing its serious attention. This class was very much dissatisfied with the recent tariff settlement between Ger- many and Russia, which allows th grain of the latter to énter the m: kets of the former under the most favorable conditions, but this they will have to submit to, because strong in- ternational considerations demand it. It was the influence of the farmers of Germany that maintained for e the embargo upon our hog products and it will be able to induce the govern- ment to renew that policy if we insist upon the discrimination against the producers of German sugar. We are to be given a fair opportunity to modify the tariff in this respect. The German government undoubtedly appreciates the value of the reciprocal arrange- ment that was entered into three years ago and would be pleased to have it continue. But it is plainly the inten- tion of that government, in the event that we decide we do not want r iprocity, to turn to the former con- dition and exclude our hog products as well as our cattle from the German markets. ed sugar from must operate rs INANCIAL 1t is to be expected t sessfon of congress a g number and variety of financial plans will be intro- duced. A score or more were pre- sented at the last session, none of which was successful in securing enough supporters to get beyond the committees to which they were referred, and it is entively e to say that the coming session will be even n prolific in measures relating to the currency and to financial reform, particularly if the house of representatives to be elected next Tuesday should be republican. In that case the democrats will naturally be most anxious to put themselves on rec- or with financial legislation. One plan, that adopted by the convention of bankers at Baltimore a short time ago, will be submitted early in the session, others are promised, and doubtless every | man in congress who thinks Le under- stands the money question—and the number is large—will have a scheme to ofter at the first oppartunity. A remarkable contribution to this sub- ject is an article in one of the maga- zines by ex-Secretary of the Treasury George 8. Boutwell. Assuming it to be a settled policy of the country to main- tain the interchangeability of gold and silver and to redeem all the paper obli- gations of the government in either metal, at the option of the holder, M Boutwell outlines a plan for providing the national treasury with an adequate gold revenue and by which the product of American silver in %8 of the de- mand for the arts and industry of the country may be used for without regard to the policy of other nations. A to providing gold adequate to the probable claims upon the treas- ury, Mr. Boutwell proposes legislation once more requiring that customs duties shall be paid in gold or its equivalent. Formerly these duties were made paya- ble exclusively in gold, but now they an be paid in any currency except na- | tional bank notes. This Ises embar- ment to the tr v in the matter of maintaining the serve, but of se the plan of Mr. Boutwell wonld be vigorously opposed by the silver men as diseriminating agalost silver.

As to the free coin age of silver, even to the restricted ex- tent of our own production, there are no conditions upon which that can be done without the inevitable danger of leading the country to a silver basis. Mr. Bout- well seems to have fallen in with the Idea that the United States can have a financial policy without regard to the policy of other nations, which is a de Tusion if we intend to stand on an equality with our comme rivals, instead of oceupying a lower plane with Mexico and other countries, s UNCLE SAM AND HI Uncle Sam has a marri. ter Her name is Neb suitors ave courting her and suppliants for her hand.

During the past two weeks The Bee has opened up its columns to the discus- sion of tl il bond proposition and has giveu both s supporters and its opponents an opportunity to argue the merits and the detherits. Out of this dis- cussion sevetal points stand out with considerable ' prominence. The feasi bility of the cana] from an engineering standpoint is firmly established by the opinion of experts..and the preliminary surveys and meastrements that have al- ready been made. The testimony of the t engineers is to the effect that the uple water in the Platte and Bk horn rivers to supply a power canal of the dimensions proposed. The men who have undertaken to manage the finances of the enterprise also assure us that it can be made a financial success, alway providing the million-dollar subsidy is voted, and they are men in o position to speak with authority on this feature, The most weighty objection that I been urged against the pending proposi- tion seems to be that it is inadvisable to lay a million-dollar debt upon all property within the county to assist in the development of another stupendous franchised corporation. This is the real question upon which there may be yme difference of opinion. If the canal is to be constructed and constructed by a bond-aided private covporation it is difficult to see how the intevests of the taxpayers could be much better pro- tected than they have been in the condi- tions with which the proposed bonds have been surrounded. We think that the canal campaign has strengthened the position of the canal promoters and that the voters will be in a position to express themselves intelligently on the bond proposition at the polls next Tues- day. ONLY AMERICANS IN THE NAVY. The new law permitting alien sailors in the American navy to be naturalized appears from the report of the judge advocate general to the secretary of the navy to be working well. He says the good effect of this legislation cannot De overestimated and expresses the hope that ‘the time is not far distant when the records of the department will show that the naval service Is composed en- v of American citizens, It is mani- was compara- | tively small it was, perhaps, not a | ter of ve great importance whether all those in the servive were eitizens of the country, but §ith''the greatly improved naval establishment it is certainly de- sieable that every: man who does sery- ice under the fing'on our ships and may be required to defend it agaiust any foe shall have that sense of allegiance and loyalty tg {lip country which only citizenship will pssure, In the report of the for 1880 Secretar, secretary of the Trag corps of enlisted fien In the navy one of the things ne¢issary was that it should be composed of American citizens or of those who have declared their intention to become citizns.

Majors, if elected, would simply be the tool of the state house ring that was convicted in the impeachment trial of plundering the state and looting the treasury through the Mosher bank steals The credit of the state's insti- tutions demands the election of Silas A. Holeomb. There are of course more than five good candidates for the Board of Educa- tion on the various tickets that have been put in nomination. = But only five can be elected, and those five should be the best that are flable. Without impugning the characters or qualifica- tions of the other candidates, The Bee has indicated which five most cammend themselves to all who favor a strictly nonpartisan school board. They are M Cramblet, E rds, Gilmor Kennedy a Their ele ton will a > the schools the servie of efficient and disinterested men. Every republi the sue- s of the party in the great presiden- contest of 1506 should bear in mind that the election of Majors this year menns a defensive campaign two years hence, with the odds against them. In other words, if Majors is elected this year e will insist on re-clection in 1896 whether the party is dragged down to {defeat with him or not. The way to prepare for victory in 1806 is to admin- ister the rebuke to railroadism and boodlerism next Tucsday. When running for lieutenant governor Majors refused to pay his campaign as- sessment, kindly permitting his associ- | ates on the ticket to put up the money | tor the expenses of his election.
