I propose to convey a letter weighing halt an ounce from any place in the United Kingdom to any other place in the empire I r in liie United States for Id. There are reas(ins, both practical and sentimental, for â- 'It inclusion of the United States, which ^ere a century ago part of our colonial do- 2ia;;i. and the interests of which are still drsely connected with ours. To take three facts: (l)The United Kingdom does more I'usiness than any other country with the L uited States (2) many millions of Ameri- cans are closely related to British subjects l'l' the British mails for Canada are landed at New York, so that it would be absurd to charge '2id. on a letter sent from London to New York, and only Id. if it were sent f'n to Canada. It will be observed that nothing whatever is done for the Doihinion ^y the Chancellor of the Exchequer's de- c:s;on to establish a 2^d. rate since the â- â- at* to Canada is already 2Jd. Canada nas now the strongest claim of all the colonies to tke Id. rate. As we have seen, the Post Office has made a fool- ish bargain with the French and Italian t'overnments for tke conveyance of letters '0 India and the East and Australasia from *-alais to Brindisi for Id. each, and while "-â- .IS liargain subsists, a penny post by that 'oitte could not yield a profit. There being â- -' t!ie case of Canada nothing but water be- *-wen us and the American coast, the Post c*-; â- â- -' has no opportunity of committing ns, *-id tiiere is literally and absolutely no rea- son why a profitable penny post should not be -strddislied to-morrow to British North •^tr.eiica, (for surely nobody will attempt to 'â- -ie:,d t he juggle about subsidies any longer. .-â- ^ hig.i postage rate, as already said, ' -leeks trade.

H. HeatOn, Ifc P.,.in ^^^ ^intttmth Century. What Manner of Man, or ^oy Me Keally Isâ€" A King "by the Grace of Clod/* Curiously enough it has 'been left to a Frenchman to give the most generally ap- proved charaterization of Emperor WUliam II. of Germany and his reign. In a recent copy of the Paris Figaro Earnest Lavisse, a celebrated feuilletonist, described in a letter from Berlin the young Emperor and his mode of action so keenly, so epigram- matically, and altogether so correctly that most of the German dailies are now repro- ducing the article for the information of their readers. "WiUiam 11. of all men," writes M Lavisse, "has the greatest appre- ciation of his own happiness, the keenest faculty of finding a roseate atmosphere in which to breathe. Of all rulers, he probably derives the most satisfaction from the mere act of ruling. He does not conceal his de- light in life and in being Emperor. He shows it on land, at sea, and on his armored ships as he rides under the starry hea- vens and loses himself in transcendental dreams. The delight which he frankly ex- presses, together with his youth, lend this Prince a MOST FASCINATIITG CHARM. For many years Europe has not seen on any onejof its great thrones a man of 30 years. The dignity .of such a position was the ex- clusive property of mature men. In the per- son of William II. might and youth comb- ine in a charming paradox. It satisfies him not to be a ruler. He wishes to rule as his forefathers ruled while they were creating Prussia bit by bit with their o-wn royal hands. The minute he became persuaded that Bis- marck, too, desired torule, he dismissed this mighty man. His action, which appeared so extraordinary to otiiers, was exceedingly simple in his eyes, and he executed it simp- ly. His property was in the hands of anoth- er. He merely took it back. Every one was astounded because in the last speech from the throne to the Reichstag he did not men- tion the retirement of the Chancellor with a single word. In his eyes, hoVever, this re- tirement was not an event of world-wide im- portance. It amounted, he thought, only to this A HohenzoUern, who had become Em- peror and King, had only chosen to adminis- ter his o'wn office. I saw Emperor William for the last time on Easter Sunday in 1889 in Berlin. He made a curipus impression on me. Berlin is a very great, wholly modern, and rapidly gro'wing, city. In material as well as in spiritual matters it is very progressive. It has a cool reason and a cold heart. • Politic- ally it is radical or social democratic. It is quite irreligious. As I saw this emperor by the grace of God ride through the street of THIS MODEEN TOWX, his shoulders erect, his head thro'wn back, the features of his face proud and immobile, patronizingly bowing to the shouting crowd on each side, I felt that I saw before me an anachronism, â€" to be sure a living and trium- phant anachronism, but none the less an anachronism. Emperor by the Grace of God Believe me, this title isno empty name to William II. He believes it frankly and sincerely. Prussia has a Constitution which grants the subject certain liberties, but the King has from God a higher charter, which permits him to suspend or to encroach on the Constitution. In Koenigsberg William I. took his crown with his own hands ' from the table of the Lord. ' This unique table is not mentioned in the inventory of the parliamentary furniture of the Prussian State. " Germany has political parties in the Par- liament. With them the sovereign must es- tablish a modus vivendi. The tactics of Prince Bismarck to this end have been con- demned. Others must be introduced. It is, therefore, necessary to come to some under- standing with the Reichstag for the purpose of creating a parliamentary majority. Em- peror William II. does not, however, con- sider himself obliged to have such a majority in order that he may rule as he wishes. He rules because it is his office to rule, and in his opinion, his right. He appears to have no regard and little eyesight for party divi- sions. He has â€" unprecedented performance • â€" invited Clericals, Radical and Social Demo- crats to eat at his table. He has no idea of the regular lawful tiictics of an organized opposition. When he devotes himself to the t lought of a political opponent, it is only iFor the purpose of seeing it SMASHED ox THE .SPOT. He, tbetefore, and he alone, will ever bear the brunt of the battle. It is his province to settle all questions of the day, to look at the causes and the remedies. AH questions, however, cannot be solved in Germany after his fashion. The reasons for existing insti- tutions there lie much deeper than in most other countries. With us the labor question is every man's business. The Government and the citizen occupy themselves alike â- with its solution. They all know that they â- will not come to their goal in a day, but that to- gether they will help their country towards better things. The Emperor of Germany, however, has made the labor question his own exclusive property. He wishes to an- swer it for Germany and for the world at large. Undoubtedly, Emperor William II. has a few modem attributes. The questions that interest him are questions of the times. But he will never answer them in the spirit of modem civilization. A man can apparent- ly live as the rest of us mortals live, ride on the railways and on the steamships, know the statistics of the working people, discuss learnedly concerning the present price of anthracite coal, and yet be the contempor- â-  ary of a century that is past. j "William II. speaks of the triple alliance politely, but not enthusiastically. Perhaps he finds it ' a back number.' To compel t Austria to enter a combination with her â-  conqueror and then to honor Italy â- with an invitation to join the two great middle European powers, were easy bits of diplo- macy, too easy in fact. But to carry on t colonial politics in the same region â- with England, to visit the Queen of England and the Czar of Russia, to review the English navy in the uniform of an English Admiral and the Russian army in, the uniform of a Russian officer, to strive at once for friend- ship of the whale and the white bear, as Prince Bismarck said, that is fine, that is inspiring, that is impossible, tJiat is the goal of WiUiam U. " The future of William U, is no clearer to-day than it 'was two years ago. The 3roung Emperor has m^Kle his debut in his- tory not with brilliajit deeds, but trith brilliant purposes. He attracts public atten- tion to a wonderful degree. He ia the favorite of puBlic opinion. He diserves tkese honors on account of thephilAntluropyof his dreams and on account of his determina- imp, egar^ed to Ju les. Simo n) to do mankina^^^a^SlSfr '^jiS^^^^tSffSPf^ further and most particul'wly in.yiew of his apprehension of approaching dangers. Let these dangers come. The Emperor will not stand aside. He is brave to lie point of recklessness. He has supreme confidence in the futtire, and his figure, the figure of the ideal soldier, strides forth unnesitatin^y into the imknown.-" The Light WeLivie In. It is estimated that persons walking on the sunny side of the street are in light more than five thoui^and times stronger than are the occupints of an ordinary darkened room of a town house, while strollers on the sea- shore in sunny weather enjoy the influence of 18,000 times as much of the same health giving agent. These facts are revealed by the action of the different degrees of light on photographic plates, a lens and plate of cer- tain speed taking a bright seaside view with an exposure of one-tenth of a second, an open landscape away from the sea in one- third of a second, a fairly lighted interior in two and one-half minutes, and a badly light- ed interior â€" such as many ladies prefer, es- pecially in summer-^ia not less than thirty minutes.
