Vnhappjr Bismarck.
Prince Bismarck is reported to have
said, "Nobody loves rae for what I
have done. I have never made any*
body happy, not myself, nor my family,
nor anyone else. But how many
have I made unhappy? But for
me, three great wars would not have
been fought. Eighty thousand men
would not have perished; parents,
brothers, sisters, and widows would
if " j sot be bereaved and plunged into
mourning. * * That matter, however,
I have settled with God. But
I have had little or no Joy from all my
achievements?nothing but vexation,
care, and trouble." Who would care
to carry with him the daily burden of
a war-maker ??American Advocate
of Peace and Arbitration.
While "to hia own master every servant
standeth or falleth," yet men may
and do judge one another for themselves,
which however should be
r "righteous judgment," lest in judging
^ their fellows they who judge condemn
themselves.
We confess that to us there is in
what Bismarck, (if he is correctly re
ported) says, about bis Having -set0
tied with God" something which is
so irreverent and bo savors of a settlement
between two mutual debtors and
eieditors that one may be inclined to
think Bismarck in balancing his own
books assumed that God's books
agreed or ought to agree with his
God and Bismark may differ in the
way the books of the one and the other
are kept. "That which is highly
esteemed among men is abomination
in the sight of God."
If the maker of three great ware,
the same man who caused the death
of eighty thousand men, and thus
^ plunging parents, brothers, sisters and
I|? widows into bereavement and mourn f
/ ing, has "settled with God" and God
<7 has settled with him, then no one
should question the settlement.
When such a settlement is made with
God, who is the only Creditor, a receipt
is geneally given, which certi
- '? j 11 .-l. I
* flee or "jfeace who uou mruugu uui
Lord Jesus Christ," rather than " vex'
ation, care and trouble." Bismarck
has ran ap a long and heavy account
with God, and he and other war-makers
might do well to get a receipt in
Aill and up to the time of leaving, as
per telegram order of a reporter to the
door keeper of paradise, to open wide
the gate for a celebrated war maker ie
r . coming to take his seat by the side of
;. / the Prinoe of Peace.

Some one has said, wrongly, we
' think, that without enthusiasm there
is no virtue, meaning, it may be suppoeed,
that the fervor of youth or the
magnetic touch of shoulder to shoulder
?? *Ka* warmth horn of encourasre
. . ment and appreciation is essential to
moral and religious life in ourselves
and to success in our efforts to help
others toward the same. Enthusiasm
is difficult of preservation. Is it not,
in a measure at least, dependent on
the electric touch of human companionship,
united effort, and the confidence
and faith of others in the laborer
? And is not a determined will the
best and most lasting enthusiasm ?
The warmest natures when thoroughly
chilled by unkindness?injustice
being the unkindness?harshness,
suspicion, loneliness become harder
and less responsive than those natures
whlchare severe and unloving, just as
the lava which comes burning from
tk? mnnth of the volcano, wheu
cooled, becomes a harder rock than
those of other kinds. The critical
element predominating in a mind, the
power to regard fairly a question from
all sides, the spirit of perfect fairness
and justice, all tend to lessen enthusiasm?the
first named especially.
Is it not time that with no special
enthusiasm?bating its primary signification?with
only an unwaveringdetermination
to be true to the highest
principles of nature and revelation
j and a determination to help our fellows
upward we may do not bo badly
after all?

Daring an appreciated call ef Rev.
W. B. Elk in at the Neighbor office last
Saturday be stated that some one had
inferred from the notice of his appointment
to the chaplaincy of the
penitentiary, as made in the Neighbor
of February 14, that he had applied
for the place, which be said was coc.
trary to the fact, that he knew nothing
at all about the matter until the chaplaincy
was offered him by Superinten"
dent Lipscomb. Although we had no
thought whatever of misrepresenting
the worthy appointee in any respect,
and though we think said inference to
be illegitimate, yet we make the foregoing
statement.

An old geologist pursuing his investigations
among the rocks and ledges

by the wicked boys who threw stones

missiles, and, examining them, philosophically
remarked: "That is not

work.

A young man proposed for the hand
of a beautiful girl. As she hesitated,
he said, "I await your answer with
bated breath." The girl, who is a good

with something besides high wines to
catch your humble servant."

The current number of the iVtne*
'eenth Century contains^an article that
is of peculiar interest just at this time.
It recounts the history of theSamoan
troubles, from the time when Bismarck
jast an evil eye upon the, then happy
islanders until the outbreak of the
present revolt against the usurper,
ramasese.
It is a pathetic story. It shows a
gallant people sacrificed to diplomacy
?to the insolence of one great Power
and the timidity of two others. It is
not pleasant reading for Americans or
Englishmen, and ought not to be for
Germans. On the whole, the Government
of the United States appears to
better advantage than that or either of
the other powers, but the best is bad
enough. Germany, in this affair, has
Bimply played the partof the highwayman.
England has sometimes complained
and sometimes truckled to
Germany, but has never taken a really
manly stand. The United States has
always been on the right side, but has
not always had the nerve to enforce
her decisions.
#?*#***
It is not yet too lute to do our duty
hv fiamna t to fulfil our treaty obliga
tious, save our commerce from destruction
at the hands of a German monopoly,
and rescue from oppression the
people who have trusted us. It is not
a question of fighting. If it were we
*******
shot need be fired. All that is necessary
is to notify Btamarck that the Saraoans
are entitled to govern themselves
and that we will see that they
have the privilege. The German
Chancellor is not a fool. In the present
state of European politics he is not
hunting up a war, least of all with a
power like the United States.
A be at
Since 1857 when Godefroi and Hons
commenced business, German trade
and therefore German political influence
have centred in Samoa. Malietoa
was deeply attached to the English.
Treaties had been made by Samoa with
the United States in 1878, with Germa
uy in 1979, ana wnu i^ugiauu iu
August of the same year. In 1884.
under pressure, a fresh treaty was made
with Germany, practically handing
over the islands to that power, which
was afterwards disallowed by England
and America and repudiated by Malietoa
himself as having been extorted
by threats. Immediately prior to the
execution of this last treaty, and immediately
subsequent, Malietoa and
his principal chiefs petition the Queen
of England to annex 8amoa.
The prayer of the petition was refused,
but negotiation through New
Zealand was continued for a long
time.
