THE ONE-ARMED EMPEROR WHO IS TO BE ANOTHER FREDER ICK THE GREAT.

One sees the photograph, of the Prince and P. InoeßS William aud their four little boys m every shop window. It is a pretty family group and Intensely admired by the people, Tbe eldest boy ia hardly five. He Is also photographed with the old Emperor at the window. It ia deolared that Prluce William is the Killer's favorite. The people regard bim v the next Emperor, for the feelirg la a settled one that the Crown Prince will not live to succeed the X user. Though young, he shows strength and courage, and m his own family brooks no Inter ference. His wife is a year his senior and 4 thoroughly German w:-man . The people lay there will be no English interference from ber as from the Crown Prino ss, who haa beon English from fitst to last-— a clever woman m many way?, bat not clever m concealing her lao'_ of sympathy for German customs and the German people. Then there Is the prophecy brought forward by the German paople, who are •otoew hat _upera.it.oui. Germany Is to be the greatest, lt says, under a young ruler who has but one arm, and tour sons. He is to succeed an feged sovereign . carry on a great war successfully, aud prove another Frederick tbe Great. Ti e Germans see m this the destiny of Prince William wbo was born with me arm partly deformed, short, and stiff A"d they see- in hia oharaoter all the require ments of the proph.oy, even down to the foor sons. But the power of Get mat. y wanes after tb a ruer, and ahe ia (hen \u25a0<- go down and beeo • c an i-signitioaut nation So runs the pro;, h ey.

DIVORCE EXTENSION.

Though we yield to none m our esti mation of the sacredness of ihe mar riage lie, we freely admit that tbe cir cumstances of modern soci.ty render it necessary that means should be pro vided whereby tbat lie may m certain circumstances be dissolved. Even ihe Christian Churches which are naturally most conservative m this matter, recog nise that marriage should be dissolvable for one cause — the breach of the vow ot. fidelity, which is the cardinal prin ciple of the contract. But the civil law is altogether one-sided m this matter, inasmuch as while infidelity to the marriage vow on the part of the wife is a cau_e which entities to divorce absolute, a like infidelity on the pari of the husband, unless accompanied by cruelty or desertion, is not. Clearly justice cemands tbat both sexes should be placed on an equal footing, and if, ior this reason alone, we hope that Mr .Samuel's Divorce Extension Bill will be persisted with next session. One of its proposals is that the sexes should be treated alike m this matter — a proposal Which was affirmed some three sessions ago. by the House of Representatives, upon the motion of the member ior Waimate, and which may be said to bave been again affirmed last year by tbe carrying of the second reading of Mr Samuel's Bill. It has also received the approval of the Presbyterian Synod, and is, we believe, concurred m by men of all shades of religious opinion. But Mr Samuel proposes to go much farther than this,, his Bill being almost a transcript of tbe measure carried through the New South Parliament last year, by Sir James Stephen, a similar Bill to which is now before the Parliament ot Victoria, with tvery probability of passiog into law. As there is no doubt that Mr Samuel will proceed with his Bill next session, it is just as well that tbe public should be fully acquainted with what is sought to be enacted. In addition then to the proposal tbat infidelity on the part of either party shall be a sufficient cause lor divorce, Mr Samuel proposes that either of the following causes shall also suffice, viz,, desertion by either husband or wife for a period of three years, habitual drunkenness, accom panied by neglect or cruelty, extending over a period of two years, imprison* ment for seven years or upwards, or (m ihe case ot ihe husband) having through frequent convictions for crime, habitually left fhe wife without means of support, violent assault, inflicting actuai bodily harm, attempting to mur der either wife or husband, and in curable insanity. We note that the Presbyterian Synod has petitioned against all these latter proposals, and we have no doubt that as regards some of them there will be strenuous opposi tion, but at least m the case where either husband or wife has been guilty of attempting the murder of the other, we should nave tnought that there wou.d have been a universal consensus of opinion that the tie of ma<'iagv ought not to be held binding if the aggrieved party desire release, it seems to us that there is a good deal to be said m favor of the other pro posals, especially those which would make a long term of imprisonment or incurable insanity a ground for divorce, more especially when it is borne m mind that for none of these things would the marriage be ipso facto an nulled. All that is proposed is that if

cither party desires to be released from the marriage bond, for either of the causes mentioned, then the Court may grant a decree upon proof of the cause alleged, and we put it to those who desire to refuse relief under such cir cumstances, whether there can 6e any h.ppiness m the compulsory mainten ance of a relationship fr^m whicb, with so grave reason, either of the par i.s desires to escape. If the popular saying that "marriages are made m Heaven " were only true, then no doubt there would be no necessity for Divorce Courts, but, as m only too many cases, we fear Heaven has very little to do with such contracts, Divorce Courts and divorce laws are a necessity albeit an unpleasant one. The only ques tion is what facilities should be given for the dissolution of the marriage tie, and for what causes, and for our part we agree with Mr Samuel that there is a necessity for some measure of divorce extension, though perhaps not quite so sweeping a one as he proposes.

DRINK AND LABOR.

Improvement m the laborer's oondition Is impossible without cutting down hs drink bills. No social arrangement whicb man oan ma'.e can benefit people who get drunk No matter wbat w*ges you pay a drinking man, neither hia con dition nor that of hiß family can be Im proved thereby. There is no uae m pro viding extra holidays for men who use them to get druuk. There is no use m onttlng down tha day's labor from teo to eight hours, if the two hours gait. ad are spent m a rum-hole. There would be no uee ln making arbitration compulse ry, if one of the parties was likely to be k.p. from obeying tbe decision by Iquor. There would be no uae m handing over all the property m the wor d to laboring men, if tbey drink as they do now They Would soon dissipate it, and add nothing to the store — -Ye.. York Nation,

New Z .aland pay a a subsidy of $180,000 to a steamship line to carry th. mails to San Francisco, but there la very little freight In return. The removal of the duty on wool and Its dire .t pnrohase m New Z island markets, instead of through factors m London, would very consider* ably enoourage trade and New Z. aland would be found very willing to reciprocate a more liberal policy m this direction on our part with increased orders for our goods. AMERICAN FLOOR ABROAD. American flour is now In suatp oompetl* tion with European millers, and already has an established preference lo some of the principal foreign market. , mainly due to ihe imp.o^d roller process employed io its ma-ufaoture. Tho decrease ln ex ports of wheat is thus compensated for In no small degree, considering the advan age arising from the shipment of manufactured material. Aside from tbe superior quality claimed by tbe Amerioan miller, be is more successful m the com* petition by reason of the flouring mills being located generally near tbe grain producing regioor, whereas the European manufacturer must, ss a rule, tram port his grain long distances, together wuh the 25 or 30 per oent of bran, whioh the Amerioan miller saves. On conteiopla ing the situation the conclusion is r_*ched that the United State, may possibly have seoored p rmanently the oon*. rel of the Europesn fl >ur market, or, ac least, until such time bb may bo .tqui..d v to establish u -ills equal to American m the great wheat-prudueing countries of I dia, Austr.lla and South America, together with oheap transportation by land and s.a.
