have no more revolutions. He Will have nothing
10 DO with what has proceeded from revolutions
He would fai, be Emperor Of Germany, but It
must be by grace OF God aad not by choice OF
the peoples representatives. He refuses the
Frankfort crown aud sets the Constitution aside.
And the rest OF bis tribe do likewise.
Then comes the response Of the people. They
have only enc means OF enforcing their will and
their rulers duty,-insuTection. Legal means
they might have. were constitutions solemnly
granted OF any account with the now unterrihed
royalty Of Germany, bat they are worth no more
In their eyes than 50 many kings promises.

The difference is immense. Never did king
contend srGinst an intelligent middle class with
out being beaten and ii makes no difference that
there are score Of kings instead Of single one.
Nor i, this class alone which is resolved on Ma.
tonal Unity. All classes but the princes and a
few mobiles are determined on It. Germany is
entering upon her era OF Eighiy-nine. Who will
tell whether it IS to be followed by Ninety
