An 'empire ; is an aggregate of political bodies bound together by a common , relation , to a ; central State but whose relations may ' vary from; the closest; dependency to the loosest adhesion.'?? There must be a nation before: there can he an emnlre Kiia .ill vrci iimuy tu-uaj it ja iihdui trtiMt.has united and made the em- plre aqj ' It hat beeu- the House of ' Hohenzollern that has made Prussia. . - The ancestral home of the ' Hohen ; aollerns is that quaintest of all Ger , man rcltles, Nuremburg, with its old her and under-ground ' passage way i and It would seem that this pictures Queness had been Imparted , to the ' scions, o its Jiouse, m There is some - thing almost bizarre in 'the Hohen zollerns from the time of the Great Elector and eurely hlstery does not furnish a more unique character thaa .Frederick, William the First,-with his :. regiment of glaptK' forced Into ser- vice, or stolen from other countries or purchased from brother mo narchs at enormous expense even though he himself was so. penurjous that he de nied n ramtiy-au out the ftare ne cessities of life. Through Carlisle's eyes we see Frederick Wll lam In his 4 Tobacco Parliament, surrounded . by his councilors with their long pipes. listening to his dicta without daring to offer advice .or watch him at his scantily..; furnished table, , with Site cnuaren iremoiinK". ai ; nis suemesi weird, fearing to be tehastwed In pub 11c as he Is said to' have' done to one of his grown 'daughters. Or worse still we see him court-martialing and sentencing to death his son, the Crown Prince, . afterward .Frederick , the ; Great, for having crossed the frontier without hlsi permission a sentence which he was InJuced.to revdke on account ef the universal horror which It excited. x . . , In Frederick the. Great the element of picturesqueness Is also manifested. His flute playing, , his attempts at vers making, under the tutelage of ' Voltaire, his jmany vagaries with this frlenJof his intellect, show the lesser side of the treat man. But these are mere pecadillos to be classed under the head of eccentricities of genius. When we consider Frederick's duplic- j, ity toward Maria Theresa, we . see a defect in the man far more serious. It Is true tnat Maria. The ' resa bad" no right to the throne ac cording to the Salic law, yet Frederick rive his sanction to her belnar crown ed and when she ;was looking to him as her strongest ally he sllppel into r her country with bis army and pos sessed himself of desired territory. .Retributive Justice was visited on Prussia in less than a hundred years, when a fair, queen was weeping , over the Invasion of her country by that maker and destroyer of king doms, ' Napoleon I." , ' . The beauty of the royal woman, ' Queen Louise, gre'at-grandmother of - the present Emperor, her cheerful pa tience In misfortune, her attempts to strengthen her weaker husband, Frederick William III, and finally her useless intercession .with Napoleon in behalf of her country have raised her almost to sainthood In the minds of the German people., . The favorite picture of Iher descending the stairs' has made her beauty nearly as fa miliar to us as to he; own country . men. . ; .' : : But the Napoleonic Wars were after All a blessing In disguise to Prussia, until then the control of German - - affaira urti in 4ie hands of Austria. Though not constitutionally the her- the superior strength of : this king-dom- defied; opposition, ; The Austrian ..- rule, however. was never pleasing to ;, the people and a national feeling did not exist under , this regime. It has been said and with some justice we ' must a.imlt that with us in the South ' one Is first a Southerner, next a Car- olinlan. ; Virginian or whatever his State may be, and lastly a citizen of 'the united states. it was this lack of national, feeling that delayeeVjGer mas unty for centuries, ;l In Prassia. compulsory education has been enforced slrace the begin nlng of the eighteenth century. Thus ' the country was being , prepared for ' the awakeninf of race, pride and the ueaire lor unity came irom w rum wars.

His brother, acted as regent during this period and afterwards succeeded to the throne, with the ti tle of William I. With him Prussia comes to the centre of the stage and United Germany becomes an accom plished fact. : - A great klnghowever, was not all that was needed to bring this to pass; statesmen and generals were , neces sary and these were not lacking. For years Bismarck, with a singleness of purpose that recognized . no obstacle, had been planning and scheming sto hasten the day when Germany should be one. , In his endeavors he , was aidea byt two men of. scarcely : less power, -i Von Moltke and Von Boon, who, with him, make the great trium virate of German,, unity. Bismarck was the brain . looking ; far Into the future; Von Roon waa the heart, creating the sentiment among the people. Von Moltkt was the arm, that, through his perfectly equipped and organized army was to accom plish the desired end. - When all Waa ready, Bismarck look ed about, for a pretext for war. He wished a short showy champion that Would prove to -Germany the genius of Prussia and convince Austria that she ' had no contemptible foe in the struggle for J supremacy In the empire- Bismarck chose Denmark as the victim of hla military display on the pretext of some claim to Schleswig Holsteln and with Macchlavelllan di plomacy be - made Austria his ally. Having won the desired glory and ter ritory, Blsmark formed - the North German Alliance with Prussia in con trol, which at once precipitated a war-with Austria. r In this conflict Prussian arms were again; victorious and Austria ceased to hjive a voice In German affairs. At the same time Bismarck had deliberately trumped up a quarrel with Napoleon III which resulted in the FrancoPrussian War. These events, are alt too familiar to heed recaptulation here. 4 Eunice U to say i that these victories won the admiration and confidence of the re malning German States that bad not entered the Nrth-German Union. At last the consent of all was .obtained and on January 1. 1871, BIsmark'a rherlshed plan was accomplished 'and William, with bis victorious army, en camped about him at Versailles, was proclaimed "German Emperor, Kai ser, lord of every span of German ter ritory outside the .confines v of Aus-trla,',-;.'.-V' :. ','! V.Thls union was composed of four kingdoms, six , grand s duchies, five duchies, seven principalities, , three free cltjfs and the i imperial domain of Alsace-Lorraine, all bound togeth er In a great corporation of publhi law under the hereditary presidency of the King of Prussia, who though1 called 'the Emperor, la Its president, not its monarch. ' ; But Bismarck's work 'n&i Just be gun. . He desired .the "empire to be one not bnly In name but In spirit and interest. ' There wa no uniform ity In the government of these dif ferent States and "each one was as Jealous for Its autonomy as we Jn the South with -our cry of State rights. With pstienee and tact. Bismarck made changes and concessions till he brought order out of chaos. .Yet the German government Is still the most complex In. Europe. It has been shown that Germany, as the United States, Is e plurlbus unum The States are represented in the Imperial Government by the Bundes rath which corresponds to' th.e Dieh under the old regime. The represen tation of each State is in proportion to the population-as Is the case with our Congressmen. The members act under instruction from their govern ment to which they make reports continually. s The whole icourse of law making is govern e J by the Bun-desrath.- "No treaty can ; be ' signed nor can there be a declaration of war without, Its consent except in case of invasion when the Emperor may declare war on his own responsibili ty . v v - - The Reichstag, the other Imperial chamber, represents not the States but the whole German people. Rep resentation Is distributed on the ba sis of one to every 131,000 inhabi tants. . In our House of Represen tatives the scale Is one to about 200, 000. The Reichstag at present con sists of til members for a term of five years by universal suffrage and secret ballot. - The voting age and age of eligibility are the same," being twenty-five years. The election takes platie on days appointed by the Em peror and he, with the consent of the Bundesratn may dissolve the Reirh ntjag before the completion of the term of five years., I He must, how ever, convene the Reichstag at least dnce a year and may call it together oftener if necessary. , ' " While at present Germany claims to have universal suffrage, the growing power of the Socialist party has so alarmed the imperial government that there is a achema to change the suffrage by ' property qualification In order to disfranchise the . Socialists. The menace of this party is the dark clout! that looms upon th political horizon of Germany. The highest official In the empire next to the Emperor is. the Imperial Chancellor appointed by the Emperor and removable by ' him. He may be icalled -the buffer or scape goat of the government since be suffers the criticism and punishment for im perial mistakes. ? The States have their own courts but the Imperial Court at Leipslc is the supreme court of appeal The expenses of tiie empire are met partly by contributions from the States and partly, by Jmpertal revenues, such as custom duties, certain stamp taxes, postal and telegraph service, rail ways and the imperial bank, . In the Legislatures of the States Is vest ed the right to control all matters relating to education, religion, police, land tenure, local, government, direct taxation. And In the larger States, Bavaria and- Wurtenburg, the man agement of the railways. The principle of the empire is that the government should Wn the me diums c of communication. ' In accordance,- with, this, the postal and parcel service, the telegraph system and many of the railroads are owned by the , government.. While the ac curacy and promptness of the first three , are the, models ( of the world, there is a . -difference , of opinion io regard, t the government ownership of the railroads, j It Is claimed by advocates of State proprietorship that the service Is better- and cheaper and the possibility of rate discrimination, which Is giving us so' much trouble Is eliminated. Pullman ? sjrvic Is much1; mora reasonable (.being about one third What It U 1. the united States.; Utlgatlon Is much cheaper in Germany than In England or the United States and it is In stern real ity the samt for tha rich and ths poor. 5fo offense 1 punuhabte by more, thaa year'a-.lmprUonmant is bailable. One criticism of tha gov ernment is that it leans too much to- f -; ., warJs humanltarlanism; its criminal code la very merciful and twenty years ajo the abolition of capital pun ishment was seriously .considered. The empire ahas a system of laws far the benefit of the working man but the growth of the Socialist party proves that dissatisfaction wUh the existing system is increasing. ThLs is largely due to enforced military ser ves of three years and to the. hatred which the middle classes feel toward the nobility. Unlike the English law of primogeniture every scion of a noble family In Germany inherits the title, the social statu and the obliga tion to .marry according to - his sta tion. hls has resulted In a large haughty class of lmpovetished nobil ity who are not in tquch in any way with th i middle ; class. .fin England the middle-class has a pride in 1U landed proprietor and not infrequent ly, impoverished aristocracy revamps Its bank account through marriage with' the daughter of some wealthy brewer or banker.-:.;1 Qepnany this is Impossible, j rlf, as .bq.'aslonally happens, ' some daughter ot . a noble house marries Into. the university set she dpes not enoble 3ier husband but Only ostracises herself. ' It " Is said that if a German nobleman marries an' American girl h does npt. how ever beautiful, cultured or wealthy, she may be, Introduce her i, to y his friends. rte .r. . Sidney Whitman In his Instructive book. "Imperial Germany." ; says: "Berlin' is one - town in thei empire where untitled Intellect has from time to time held a distinct and recogniz ed social position and hand In hand with rarely cultured1 women, exercised a distinctly beneficial influence." : Still a more liberal feeling, a broad er charity is breaking down the hau teur of-the nobility. - - An interesting instance is given by Sidney Whitman: "Duke Charles Theodore of Bavaria, has set up in regular practice as an oculist at his own expense. He has built a regular hospital for eye dis eases in. which the poor receive ti vlee',gratisP,f tHe himself has hto daily hours of consultation . from two to five o'clock in hia own home, where assisted by a young physician In his pay, patients of every station receive advice. It Is stated that In the course of a few months he gave advice to t,800 patients and performed VJt99 operations, amonf them some very important ones. , It Is interesting to note that his wife, a , princess . of Graugauza, thoroughly enters into her husband's profession and constantly performs the duties of nurse to hisj patients." , More instances or tni kind would solve the socialist problem better than disfranchisement. ' , Much has been written In the last few. years about Germany's attitude towards the United States. The gift to this country of a statue of Frederick the Great by the Imperial government and the visit of Prince Henry were to prove the -friendly relations existing between the two countries. But no sooner had we accepted thla view, than tariff regu lations were Introduced in Germany which discriminated against the Unit ed States In no uncertain way. So great was the 'constlnatlon among our exporters,' that Germany was Induced to suspend the regulations for a year and two months before the expiration of the time, in May, 1907, the two governments m'e to art agreement by L which, ourl exporters," are to get the minimum tariff while we are" to make concessions to German export ers. So friendly relations are again re-established and the strenuous Theodore I and the strenuous William II can return to their mutual admira tion society with easy consciences. It. Is almost impossible for one brought up on democrat! ideas to treat sympathetically or comprehend- ingly the paternalism of Germany, The German idea of the government standing In loco parentis to every In dividual seems to'us unwarranted in terference and distrustful - espionage While It has Its good points, these are more than counter-balanred by the restricted liberty of the Individual, the muzzled press and enforced mili tary service. Despite Prof. Muns- terburg's defense of the last, the large number ,of German immigrants eli gible to army service to this country seem to prove Mr. Carnegie's view that the people find it Irksome and emigrate to escape the burden. Such In brief Is the government over which the Hohenzolierns preside and which has called forth the adml ration of the world since the soldier king was crowned Kaiser at Ver salllew. , - . It is a relief to turn from the pres ent day discussions of the uselessness of a man over fifty to the group of gray-halredv men who made the Ger man Empire of to-lay. When tha FraneoPrusslanv war Drought them to the. pinnacle of greatness Willjam I was 73, Von Moltke 70. Van Roon 67. and Bismarck 55. Surely these are Inspiring examples of a green old age., . .
