BISMARCK FAILING.
THE MAN OF IRON BOWED DOWN BV
RELENTLESS TIME.
Dougtlty Warrior lla* Lost Interest In tlif
A Hair* of State—Characteristic* of th
! Man Who Changed the ijeogiapliy ol
i Central Kurope.
Blsmnrclc Is dying. The mighty
personality who changed the map of
Central Europe will on April 1, prob
ably celebrate his last anniversary.
He Is losing his temper, his means of
locomotion and his memory. He la
as helpless as a child. His limb 3 re
fuse any longer to hear the weight ol
the great statesman's enormous body
and he has to be wheeled around from
one apartment to another at Fried
richsruhe.
Like other' remarkable men Bis
marck was never a man of very
agreeable disposition, and on his
eighty second year his nerves which
were as rigid as rod-iron, become so
fluttered by the least reference to pub
lic affairs that no mention even of
his own marvellous achievements can
be made in his presence. There are
only two persons outside the members
of his family who can converse with
him. These are his physician. Dr.
Schweninger, and Editor Hoffman, 01
the Hamburger Nachric'nten, who
through all the trying period when
Bismarck's pride was sorely humbled,
when It was harder to part with that
diplomatic world which he had so
long moulded by his Intellect and by
his mighty will fcian It is now to
finally leave It, was the one close and
confidential friend of Bismarck. He
alone was the man upon whom the
Prince leaned in the days of his dis
tress, and it Is to Hoffman that he in
stinctively clings In these days of what
may be called his second childhood.
' When even his dearest friends are up
braided in his periodic fits of de
spondency no unkind word is address
ed to the faithful family Editor.
Of the public and political life of
Bismarck little that Is new can he
written save by some such man as
Editor Hoffman. Bismarck Is one of
the central figures of the century and
Isolated and uncivilized will be Indeed
. that land where the news of his help
less and stricken condition shall not
arouse a sympathetic response on this
probably one of the last gatherings of
the family around its venerated Chief
tain. Of Bismarck It will be written
that in an age prolific of great men he
was, measured alike by the range ol
his intellect and the majesty of his
achievements probably the greatest
personality of his time. He was the
product of a single idea—the unifica
tion of the thirty nine states of the
Germanic Confederation into a federa
tion of which Prussia was to be the
predominant partner. This was the
dream of his youth and the realization
of his old age; and though like others
who have accomplished notable things
he saw ambitious youth prepared to
discount his marvellous life work
•when that work was done, Bismarck's
fame towered so conspicuously that
that of the greatest of German mon
archs is but as a dwarf to a giant be
side it.
Bismarck was about thirty years of
age when the people of Germany rose
to throw off that condition of ser
vitude in which they stood to a few
princely families who like the House
of Hesse sold them for money to fight
the battles of foreign sovereigns. The
German people could have no interest
In these wars but they were accustom
'ed to obedience and were loyal and
true to the gonfalon of their chiefs.
But in 1848 they took a new view of
their duties and when the masses
moved, the Australian family being
more powerful than the Hoheuzollerns
secured the appointment of the Arch
Duke John of Austria as "Adminis
trator of all the Germans."
From Administrator to Emperor was
but a step, and this event gave the
starting point to. Bismarck's idea
though it was nineteen years later and
after the national activity of 18-18 had
subsided and Koeniggratz was won
that Bismarck organized the northern
states into what was called the North
German Confederation. He had ten
years previously resolved upon form
ing a triple alliance between France,
Russia and Prussia. Neither Na
poleon 111 nor Alexander " were
friendly to such an alliance, but as
soon as the Confederation was formed
with a population of 29,000,000, and
Bismarck himself was its foreign min
ister he was In a better position to
deal with the two Emperors. The
subsequent events connected with the
Beneditti nffair, the war of 18Y0, the
crowning of the Hohenzollern Instead
of the Austrian monarch as Emperot
of Germany at Versailles, and Bis
marck's assumption of the office ol
Chancellor of the Empire are famlliat
to all readers.
Though all Germans now approve ol
Bismarck's masterpiece he had while
carrying it out bitter enemies among
his own countrymen who denounced
him aB the arch-enemy of freedom, as
. cruel, tyrannical and inhuman, as a
man of enormous appetite, of over
mastering ambition, as a modern com
bination of Lucullus and of Caesar
The truth is that in the Germany into
which Bismarck was born there were
only two classes, the rulers and the
ruled, or the landgraves and the peas
antry. Bismarck belonged to and was
as much the living embodiment of the
aristocratic Teuton as is Lord Ssjls
bury of the Anglo-Saxon to-day in
England. Bismarck's sweeping state
ments were responsible for this feel
ing:—"All cities should be swept
away; too many of these burghers
gather in one place and they become
' centers of democracy and of constitu
tionalism." lie exclaimed, when fie
heard of the national assembly at
Frankfort and of the Revolution un
der Hecker and Herwegh. Bismarck
was then a member of the diet and the
diet was a parliament of princes where
the people had neither rights nor rep
resentation.
The growth of a talddle class was a
menace to aristocratic excluslveness
and to the perpetuation of its political
privileges. Hence Bismarck feared
the cities as the storm centres of com
mercial and political activity. Ha
viewed cities only as places where
burghers were bred, where they talked
and where they were permitted to dis
turb the balance of political power.
Peasants surrounded and venerated
the owner of the Schloss. They work
ed his lands. They rejoiced when an
heir was born to inherit those feudal
privileges which they freely yielded
or they grieved at his decease. But
with the cities it was trade and not
iar.d. They represented an entirely
new order of things and a landgrave
who could control the minds and ac
tions of several hundred peasants in
the country, found himself powerless
In the case of those sturdy burghers
that dominated the commerce of the
cities. Bismarck who was a physical
giant was born in the country. He
loved the country and would preserve
it while sweeping away the city and
with it everything for which the city
stands. If from our wider American
standpoint Bismarck would be con
sidered narrow we must also consider
the conditions Into which he was born.
If the Iron Chancellor was afterwards
one of the great master-minds of the
world he was not then In a scholarly
sense a liberally educated man. Bis
marck. like Bright did not get his
education In the universities, but In
the world. Indeed he was no moro
highly educated than the average
bullock-breedlr.g country nobleman of
Europe. He then scorned books and
would while a 6tudent fight a mere
bookworm with as much relish as he
would a socialist guilty of lese majeste.
He loved his own wife and his own
country better than he loved any
other man's wife or any other country.
Bismarck differs from other states
men of the time chiefly in one re
spect—he never humbugged the peo
ple. His life was seriously threatened
by a stepson of Karl Blind, a leader In
the Revolution of 1848, aud he was not
really popular at any period of his of
ficial life. He did not attain his ex
traordinary honors and eminence
through the practice of political Jug
glery like Beaconsfleld, or through
passing popular measures or by bril
liant scholarship like Gladstone, or by
changing and afterwards reconstruct
ing the National Government like
Thiers. Bismarck has done none of
these things. He did not depress 1113
country in order to elevate himself
and is the Brahma rather than the
Siva of his people. Ho never courted
popularity or pandered to popular pas
sions, but he raised Germany from a
recumbent position and bade her stand
erect, united and upon her feet. He
snatched his country from a crisis in
which she might have become the prey
of revolution or the envy of neighbor
ing states. He reversed the march of
Empire from Austria's direction and
sent it towards Prussia detaching the
contending elements of a polyglot
state on one border And humbling her
threatening foes on the other, whllo
like a modern Archimedes lifting the
whole Teutonic race proper Into ae
unparelled position of Imperial
strength in the councils of Europe. At
the same time like another Vulcan he
forged upon the anvil of high oppor
tunity the various component states of
the Germanic Confederation into one
homogeuious nationality with larger
liberties, with improved systems of
education, more secure governments,
making of all one people with a com
mon destiny and a common flag and
language. Bismarck may not have
been always a Chesterfield to the peo
ple—but he was a benefactor. He
may not have been the greatest of
modern scholars, but assuredly the
first amongst constructive Europeon
statesmen.
THAD. P. POWERS.
Ho Tried It.
Unquestioning obedience Is generally
a good thing to require from subor
dinates, but sometimes it leads to
strange results. Numerous complaints
had come before a certain official in
regard to the quality of food served to
the inmates of one of the public insti
tutions; and he determined to investi
gate for himself, in order to see if the
matter really required attention.
Making his way to the particular
building in question just about dinner
time, he walked straight over to where
the kitchen is located. At the very
door he encountered two muscular
looking men carrying a huge, steaming
boiler.
"Put that kettle down," he brusquely
ordered; and the men at once obeyed.
"Get me a spoon," he next command
ed.
The man who brought the spoon was
about to say something, but was or
dered to keep silent.
"Take off the lid," was the next
command. "I'm going to taste it."
The two men were utterly cowed by
the official brusqueness, and, wonder
ing, watched him gulp down a big
mouthful.
"Do you mean to say that you call
this soup?" the official demanded.
"Why, it tastes more like ulrty wa
ter!"
"So it Is. sir," replied one of them,
respectfully. "We were Just scrubbing
the floors."

DEAR SISTER :— Your General Offi
cers have taken counsel of those most
competent to advise regarding a suit
able memorial to the memory of our
great leader, Frances E. Willard. It
seems to be the best judgment of all
whom we nave consulted that, inas
much as the Temple has already been
erected, and is so closely connected
with her name and that of the W. C.
T. U., we cannot do better than to
unite in a supreme effort to raise, by
subscriptions firm people of wealth,
the sum necessary for its purchase.
We are encouraged to make this en
deavor because of letters which have
come to us froin all parts of the coun
try urging the plan. Newspapers have
also expressed an interest in the pro
ject, and prominent individuals have
visited us with the same suggestion.
It surely seems as if the signs indicate
that the time is ripe for such action.
We purpose to carry out Miss Wil
lard's original plan, and to enlarge
upon it so far as possible. To this
end a committee of representative
citizens, both men and women, is to
be appointed in Chicago, whose pur
pose it will be to secure subscriptions
for Miss WiHard's memorial. The
sums raised will be placed in the
hands of some one designated by the
committee, to be held until the aggre
gate local sum shall be placed in the
hands of Miss Dow, the custodian
designated by Miss Willard herself.
The money can be drawn out ot the
bank, where it will be placed by Miss
Dow immediately upon receipt, only
on the order of the General Officers
of the W. C. T. U., and is to be sub
scribed with the distinct understand
ing that if, by the next Nafional Con
vention, it is clearly seen that the
plan of owning the Temple is not a
feasible one, the money shall be used
for another suitable memorial, the na
ture of which will be hereafter decid
ed.
We are very desirous that such
committees shall be appointed in
every city, and that, in smaller towns,
a committee for house to house visita
tion may be organized for the same
purpose. We call upon you, there
fore, as State Presidents, to aid us in
this endeavor, and, if possible, to
place the matter at once in the hands
of men and women of position and
influence throughout your entire terri
tory. By this method great sums
have been raised to erect many costly
monuments to the honored dead of
our nation, and surely none was ever
more deserving of the honor than
Frances Willard. But her memorial
should be something other than a
mere monument of marble or bronze.
It should be symbolic of her life of
ceaseless activity, and should express,
in visible, practical form, her thought
and work for humanity.
It may be well at this point to call
your attention to the fact that Miss
Willard distinctly stated that her work
for the Temple should not extend be
yond the National Convention of
1898, and that she felt that if the
money should not be raised by that
time a further of fort would be futile.
If this was her thought, how much
more is it ours under the present
changed conditions. If the hearts of
the people are ever to be fnclined
towards this enterprise it must be now
when they are tender from a sense of
our infinite loss. Immediate action
is important. The days and even the
hours are precious. We should have
sent this letter immediately upon Miss
Willard's death, but have been obliged
to wait for advice.
We earnestly hope that, whatever
may have been your previous point of
vision, you will tpiite with us now in
an heroic effort to raise the sum ne
cessary for a suitable memorial for
our beloved leader.
We hold ourselves in readiness to
answer questions concerning any
points in this letter which may not be
clearly apparent on first reading.
Hoping for a cordial response, we
are Very sincerely yours,
LILLIAN M. N. STEVENS, Acting Pres.
KATHERINE L. STEVENSON, Cor. Sec.

Bead and Ponder-
A church in Michigan bought a
carpet for SBOO, and it was paid for
by the women who raised the funds
by a long series of sociables and enter
tainments. In commenting upon the
purchase, after the carpet was laid,
the pastor is said to have delivered
himself as follows :
"This carpet cost not sSoo, as
shown by the bill rendered but
S4OOO. To the bill rendered must
be added all the incidentals, the work
and worry and nervous strain and
bodily weariness and headaches and
heartaches of seventy-five or one hun
dred women during all these years,
while the purchase fund was slowly
accumulating. To it must tc added
the colds and fevers and doctor bills,
and also what you have paid to other
churches, for when Methodists and
Baptists come to your socials you
must go to theirs. The incidentals do
not stop here. A man buys some
groceries and his wife at the expense
of fuel and strength and time makes a
cake or something else and gives it
over to the social, and then the man
and his wife and children go to the
social and eat the cake and pay for
it—count that in. Suppers have been
given that actually cost eight or ten
dollars and have netted only five to
seven dollars—count that in. De
moralization of church society, a cur
tailment of legitimate given to the
church proper, and various other
things follow in the train of the
church social habit.
The pastor then expressed himself
as "opposed to any more sociables as
revenue producers."
"Yet show I unto you a more ex
cellent way." It is the way of Paul.
"Now concerning the collection for
the saints, as I have given order for
the churches of Galatia, even so do
ye. Upon the first day of the week
let every one of you lay by him in
store, as God fiath prospered him,
that there be no gatherings (sociables)
when I come."—Michigan Christian
Advocate.
It is best to err on the side of cour
tesy and strict interpretation of the
rights of neutral vessels, as President
McKinley did in his proclamation per
mitting the enemy's merchant vessels
until May 21 to get out of American
ports, rather than to be too previous
in such matters. Spanish ships, sail
ing from foreign lands to our country
and starting previous to May 2r, may
also come into our ports and dis
charge their cargoes unmolested, pro
vided they do not contain goods con
traband of war. These goods mean
anything which will feed, clothe, give
means of defense or in any way sus
tain the enemy while making war on
us. Under strict interpretation of the
terms of the proclamation several of
the first Spanish prizes taken by our
navy will be surrendered, after the
courts of inquiry decide the matter.
Notably this is true of the first ship
taken, the Buena Venture. We
venture to say, however, that no Span
ish merchant will ever get back his 80
crates of live chickens that were cap
tured by the American squadron whi'e
being conveyed to Havana on one of
the prize ships. Some things are un
certain ; this is not one of them.
SINGULAR STATEMENT.
From Mrs. Rank to Mrs. Plnkham.
The following letter to Mrs. Pink
ham from Mrs. M. IIANK, NO. 2,354
East Susquehanna Ave., Philadelphia,
Pa., is a remarkable statement of re
lief from utter discouragement. She
says:
' " I never can find words with which
to thank you for what Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound has done
for me.
" Some years ago I had womb trouble
and doctored for a long time, not see
ing any improvement. At times I
would feel well enough, and other
times was miserable. So it went on
until last October, I felt something
terrible creeping over me, I knew not
what, but kept getting worse, I can
hardly explain my feelings at that
time. I was so depressed in spirits
that I did not wish to live, although I
had everything to live for. Had hys
teria, was very nervous; could not
sleep and was not safe to be left
alone.
" Indeed, I thought I would lose my
mind. No one knows what I endured.
" 1 continued this way until the last
of February, when I saw in a paper a
testimonial of a lady whose case was
similar to mine, and who had been
cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta
ble Compound. I determined to try it,
and felt better after the first dose. I
continued taking it, and to-day am a
well woman, and can say from my
.heart, ' Thank God for such a medi
cine.'"
Mrs. Pinkham invites all suffering
women to write to her at Lynn, Mass.,
for advice. All such letters are seen
j and answered by women only.
