liam, who is about forty-eigh; years OF age, and
who took the position of Elector and Co-Regent in
1917, has fled, with his minister Hlssenphug. and
established himself at Wilhem.bad-a point select
ed for security, ana whence he can bca. retreat
at any moment of danger.
The act which placed Prince Frederic William
in this position was one for which he was indebted
10 the weak judgmsnt Of Hassenpaug, who is the
small scale. The whole territory was declared
be in state of siege, early in September last IN
ord,r that the taxes might becoected from the peo-
PIE, in conformity with the will of the Elector.
Such measure was premature, as well as too ex-
acting in its character It went full in the face,
and directly against the pockets of the people, and

of government as were to be met by sums received
from taxation. The minister, Hassenphug, at this
point, tired stroke OF diplomacy. The popular
chamber was called together at point where 1t
should have ended, and its disposition then being
adverse TO tie wishes of the minister, it sum-
mar!ly dissolved and the State was, by the Elccor,
thereupon declared 10 be 10 a state Of siege. On
the seventh Of September, the minister commenced
his arbitrary esaciion Of the taxes All the powers
Of the State, except the courts Of justice, were
forced on the side Of the Elecor, to carry oIt this
difficult and dangerous measure. To make it more
eff ctive, other arbitrary acts were contemplated,
and partially enforced. Public assemblies, Yolit
cal meetings, publ cations, and pictures were pro-
hihited and the reign Of tyranny was commenced.
The popular will, however, did not lose its ba-
lance at THE point. Il concentrated itself into a
committee for the protection OF the constitution.
