The Ambitious Kaiser.

("Spectator,") j The Americans dolightod to honor Prince j Henry, but it never oven occurred to them to think that they were being specially honored by the visit. They imagined that. all Germany was euvying tho Prince for eujoying such a " lively time" aDd "hust ling round" so magnificently. The Em peror need not have been anxious, as we understand he was, lost; the Americans should have thought they were being pat ronised. The possibility never occurred to them. If they thought about it at all, they thought how "mad " the Emperor must be that ho could not see all the wonderful things his brother had the luck to see. In the case of their new statue tho Americans are, wo i'eel certain, genuinely pleased to have in their capital a marble image of the great crowned cynic. The t.iermans noed have no fear le.st, as the " Berliner Tage jblatk" expros.-ei it, "many a Kepublicnn i on the oth'.-r side of the Atlantic may find j ■ it difficult to reconcile hiui-solf to the erec i tion ot a statue of a crowned li:>ad in tho ! capital of the Kepublic." The American I Eepubii an will find no such difficulty. He I would bo pleased to see the statues of all ! the Kings of Europe rang«.d round tho Capitol and respectfully listening to the strains of " Hail, Columbia !" Hut though the American will feel nothing in tho least incongruous in seeing the second Kino; of Prussia in Washington, he must not be expected to show any marked signs of gratitude for the honor done him. He will be pleased and polite and enthusiastic, as he always is unless something is said or done which is or which he imagiues t) be insulting, but he will not be more. Iv other words, the re cent acts of the Kaisyr, though they would meet with all, and more tu:iu nil, the on ! thusiastic response that such acts of inter national politeness require, will not have moved the real emotions of the American people in the least. It will never occur to them that tho Emperor has laid them under any sort of obligation, and they must do something friendly to him in a business way if he ever asks them just to prove that they are not churlish or ungrateful and j have not forgotten his kiuduess and good- ; will. They will feel no more ground for ! that sort of reciprocity than one feels to wards a man to whom one has jusfc said ' " Good morning," or whom one has asked to dinner, or from whom one has accepted

a cigarette. How, then, should the German Emperor set about winning the confidence and re spect of the American people? Surely there must be some way in which they can be won. Most certainly there is a way, and if the German Emperor could only first learn to understand the American people, and then would make tho sacrifices re quired, he would be able to accomplish the feat. Tho first thing which the Kaiser must banish from his mind is the notion that the true American people, the people who control the better and higher public opinion which in the last resort governs in America, care for flattery. America in onn sense will accept it eagerly, but it will fall like water off a duck's back. What will win their confidence and respect is the carrying out of, and doing homage to, certain ideals of which the Americans believe themselves tv be the special guardians. These are the ideals af civil and religious liberty, the equality of all before the law, and the aboli tion of special and personal privileges. If the American people were to see the Ger man Emperor paying, as we have said, hom age to these principles, he would soon win tier confidence and respect. If we can imagine it possible that the Emperor should abolish prosecutions for " lese-majsste," should stop all Press prosecutions, should institute a free Press, should froa the universities from olii cial control and censorship, and should get rid of a system which obliges a half drunken officer to draw on and cut down a sober civilian who has the temerity to pro test against the officer's iusolence, we do not doubt that the American people would be carried away with a flood of enthusiasm for the Emperor. Ha would seem to them the crowned exponent of tiue and honest American ideals. As long, however, as the i German Emperor stands forth in Europe as i' the representative of all that is essentially antagonistic to the American ideal of human rights—as long, that is, as men are sent to prison for making derogatory remarks about him or members of the Imperial House, as long as the newspapers dare not comment with entire frankness on tho Imperial speeches, as long as the Kaiser's public utterances clearly show that he holds a wauto? obedience to and venera tion of him not merely as a breach of human l;iw, but of divine law, an impiety as well as a crime -in a word, as 10/ig as he poses as a semi-divine person who rules over a nation of bondmen according as they do or do not respect him, so long will tho ; G-)iman Emperor fail to touch the hearts of ! the American people, and to win their con j fidence and respect. i It is an e.isy task to show that we are not dealing in mere abstractions, but are stating facts. Who was the Sovereign who won the confidence and respec; of t-1 c Ameri'-an people ? It was Queen Victoria. She certainly did not win them by any at tempts to flatter the Anerican peop^, or by any conscious or deliberate efforts. She re spected them, it is true, as they respected her, but she never set herself to conquer their affections. The affection was mutual, but it was intrinsic. But the Queen could never have gained and hold the confidence and respect of the American people had she shown by word or deed her contempt for human rights and human liberty, and let the world see that she regarded herself as of a different flesh from ordinary mortals. She lost no sympathy in America because she was surrounded by the picturesque re strictions of a modiaeval etiquette, and be cause a tradition of a thousand years had enveloped her throne with a gorgeous sym bolism, for the Americans realised that be hind all the magnificence and ceremonial ! she was a free Queen who presided over the ! destinies of a froe people. Let the Kaiser . give up his autocratic pretensions, and cease to require the slavish obedience de mande 1 by " jnre-divino" Koyalism, and he will soon find the way to the hearts of the American people, and will win, first their confidence and respect, and then their affec tion. If he cannot, or will nob, do that— rand needless to say, short of a miracle, he will never change the nature of a rule which he honestly believes to be the only system suited to Germany—he must abandon his attempts to win over the Americans. He will still find them friendly and courteous -and responsive in the interchange of the ordinary courtesies of nations, bnt the mo ment it come 3to a question of doing busi ness he will have to show that the bargain is not only a good one for America, but that it is better for hor than him. If he cannot show that, and if he asks America to foreign any special points of policy—such as those in connection with the Monroe doctrine—he may as well try to negotiate with the winds and the waves. The Ameri cans will show no malice over past difficul ties —3uch as tha Manila Bay incident—for they are not a vindictive or grndging peo ple ; but a^ain, they will think nothing of the obligations sought to be imposed on them by fine speeches, Imperial visits, and gifts of statues. When it comes to treaties, ifc will be business, and nothing but busi ness.
