Since the datii of Kaiser Wilhelm the great Euperor of Germany, many difT^r ng opinions have been ezprease<l a* to what efT.-ct tlie death of the Emperor will have no the im pending European war, Charles H. Meyer, German Coiivli at Philadel phia, haN expressed himself as followe to a Times reporter: “The Kaiser Wilhelm was the greatest of all European monarch* _ of the modern age. History does no* $ record a ruler who vras more faithful to his people, more untiring in his devotion to his duties, or more patri otic in tiie cause of his ce intry, and ilia death will lie a seurce of uuivarasi regreat the wot Id over. “I cannot conceive how any one can predict that -the Kaiser’* deatli >« ill precipitate a war in Europe a ter th- speech of Couutvon Bismarck, made recently before the Reichstag, in which he proclaimed to the world that tho desire of Germany was to have peace. Germany’s fortification* are to prevent an., foreign invasion aud not to decry war, for Germany,in my opinion, will nevor act on the of fensive. A* t«> the German authori ties, there will be no eruption there as the greatest harm my orevails between the Crown Prince Frederick Wilhelm and Bismarck and Von Molkie. “The Crown Princo is now the Kaiser and will take the oath of oflp-e ' immediately following the hurts! of j the dead Kaiser. How long Unsrr Kritr, will be spared to the German* it is hard to say. No doubt he will soon follow lm father, hut in « ise ho does I have no fears for the young Crown Prince Wilhelm Frederick von Hohenz dlern, who will succeed Fritz, as he has been brought up in an excellent, school directly under th* influence of his grand-father, the dead Kaiser, and Count von Bis- xnurck. with both of whom lie was quits a favorite. He is also vary thoughtful and conservative and is fully aware of the needs of the Ger man Empire. His character, both morally and religiously, is of the very best. He is not prone to he mischiev ous and it is not at ail likely that in tlie event of hi* succeeding to the throne he will do anything rash. I think the death of the Kaiser will do more to harmonize the powers than anything that has happened for years. It will certainly have the effect of toothing the Russian authoritivs. Bo I don’t think war is iu any way probable " The Presbyterian Church In Amer ica has undertaKen to raise a fund of $1 000.000 for the relief of its aged and i indigent ministers. This is a step in . tlie right direction, and may all the different Churches follow so goed an example. Our old minister* ought to be taken care of, for who has watched ever and taken more interest in our welfare than they? A good miiiieter is a blessing to which he lives. the eonimuuitv in This bill is tlie result of three months hard work and study on the part <>f the gentlemen who compose the majority of the Ways and Means Committee, and I don’t believe it wauld be possible to get up a meas ure different from this one that would reduce the revenue to the same ex tent, aud result in as little injustice to everybody concerned. The pros pects of passing tiiis bill are improv ing Mr. Mills ciaiius that he has loO votes already pledged to the hill, this is only 7 short of a majority.
