, WHAT GERMANY THINKS OF HER—AN ENG- LISHMAN’S VIEW OF IT.

(From the Pali Mati Gazette.)

To Englishmen, Scotchmen and Irish- men it must be especially interesting to know what canbe known regarding the siate of German feeling toward the English- woman who on Friday morning | became Empress of Germany. They know that she was by far the cleverest and one of the best of the Queen’s children, that she mar- ried an honorable and honored, man, whom it is believed she really loved aud who eraly, loved her. .Their famil has been happy and_ beautiful; h fluenee over him has been great, and it hms all-been for good. She gave her whole heart to the task she undertook; she became a German Princess in reality as well as in name. She shared to the full the sorrows and the joys,

the aspirations and triumphs of the land of her adoption. She nursed the German wounded ‘herself, and taught these who tended thém the value of fresh air and of English cleanliness. The greatest hospital

for the wounded who were sent back from the front during the Franco-German war was built under her direction. And when

the survivors came back in triumph with

laurel wreaths in their helmets and sprigs

of laurel in the mouths of their rifles she

came out te welcome them, and no heart

beat higher than hers with pride and joy.

For German art and science, for German

learving and literature and music she has

shown an equal interest and enthusiasm.

Leopold, Von Ranke was her dear friend.

All who worked disinterestedly, in what-

ever sphere of- intellectual activity, were

sure of her kindest recognition and woman-

ly, unpatronizing sympathy. All this we

knew in England as wellas they know it in

Germany. ‘To-day she is their Empress.

How do they feel toward her?

Since I have been in Berlin I have met

all sorts and conditions of Germans, near

the throne and near the gutter—statesmen,

otticers artists, Government offigials, So-

ciulists, thinkers and poets. Some.of them

are rily very reticent on this as on

jall points connected with the Hohenzollern

dynasty, or with politics generally. None of them would dare to express any opinion on such stibjects if he expected for one mo- ment that his name ‘would be published in such & connection. ‘The political interview- er ig at a discount in Germany, There is one man who can do and say as he

The’ others, be they Princes or scavengers, must speak on political and dynastic ques- tions at least with bated breath. It is only because it is pretty well known how the wind of Bismarck’s opinions blows that- it is possible to hear what Germans think of the new Empress. Why do they not like her? Why does one heat so many’unkind things of her— things as unkind and ungenerous and un- just as a dear old German priest once com- plained to me that Luther had said of the Virgin Mary? “There are many reasons which might be given. If Bismarck -did not! say when she first arrived that, “‘ die kleine Waschfrau verdirbit die ganze Race,” others have said it. She..iz.an English Princess with a shrewd headand a brave heart. She holns her own and acts up to her ideals, Her presence is like a breath of fresh airin'the heated German atmos- phere, and Germans proverbially don’t like open ;windows: There is something of the same feeling against her among them that inspires a fire-eating Tory when he speaks evilof Mr. Gladstone. 1t is the old feeling against all those who have higher ideals, who at least. wish to breathe a purer air and live a nobler life, the feeling of those who stoned Stephen, who sawed Isaiah asinder. There isone point in,'the new Empresa’s principles and practice which is so especially obnoxious to German notions, and is so important im itself, that I shall confine myself to it, and tell what I hear and see with regard to this alone. The new Empress, then, has English ideas with re-} gard to the position of women, that is all; nothing more, than English ideas, so far as is known, nothing which, in the most con- ventional English household, would be con- sidered to savor of a woman’s rights propa- ganda. But for the Germans even this is tuo much, The German male is supreme. The woman is. not. even as the English- woman is. “They must toil and moil that the husband may take his ease in bis, inn, for there the most of his evenings are spent. She'is his slave, who must get ready his dinuer and look after his linen; She is too often a kind of lodging-house keeper to him whom he honors with the title of wife, and who is only too grateful to enjoy this dis- tinction. . Of course there are exceptions, noble and notable, and in other cases, there are happily modifications in the rigor and selfishness vf the male regime. But,the general tendency of German practice and theory is only too clearly such as 1 have described. Among the classes it takes the form of a slavery on the part of the wife to certain social duties and certain absurd rules of etiquette. She must slave to en- tertain and tobe entertained. She must not do any work with her own hands ; that would be unworthy of a grande dame. Intellectual and artistic interests are only permitted to her as subjects of social conversation. _ She must not take them too seriously. Her one great human link with her husband is ‘her children to whom he is usually passionately devoted. The new Empress has never learned to take this view of marriedlife. She remains an Englishwoman in this respect. The German men feel this, and are very appre- hensive of the force of her example when it will be given from the throne. say the German women themselves at pree- ent share in the ‘hostile feeling. But

perhaps, if one considers the matter more closely aud in the light of past history, it is only in accordance with the nature of things that those who have the prospect of

selling off the balance of theirlarge stock very cheap. Now is the time to purehase cheap goods in house furnishings. ap 4 4i eod

the women in Germany who are most un- kind and uiijust in their reflections on the Empress. Only to-night I heard one, ‘‘who ought to have known better,” say ‘If the*emperor had died at San Remo I hope-we should never, never, have allowed her to rettirn here.” The pretty daughter of a Berliner, whose public position I must not even indicate, expressed within one half-hour last afternoon two such coptra- dictory sentiments as these: 1. ‘ The Empress is far toc English in her social: ideas for me.” 2. ‘‘1 think on the whole Englishmen are much more considerate. to- wards ladies than Germans are. Germans are often very inconsiderate.” I must “end this longletter, As 1 write Germamsyare anxiously wondering how long their new Emperor will be spared to reign over them, for here there is no encouraging doubt in inen’s minds as to the nature of his disease. If public opinion is right as to this, by fear the Empress will be able to do, but little . by example and precept in behalf of her German sisteys. If their fears are idle (which God grant |!) she may yetdive to do wnoble werkd the cause ef women .in the fatherland, a work which will, perhaps, do moré..for.the well-being and for the permanence of the German nation than did ever Koniggratz or Sedan.
