. dearest boon to man, civil and reli-
gious liberty, without which there is
no security.
}, In the year 1926, the Emperor Of
Austria, by marriage and the con-
, sent of the nation, became the King
of Hungary. Although he vas per-
mitted TO assume this authority, yet
he was no. clothed with thai abso-
Lutte power. which he exercised in
his own dominions.
Before he could assume the reins
of government in Hungary, he had
to take an oath of fidelity 10 the pro-
visions of this written charter, and
preserve il inyiolate. So that while
in Austria he was absolute monarch
in Hungary his power was limited.
Two such antagonist systems of
government could not long exist in
harmony, where they had to be Ear
ried out by one man. One of them
mus! be brought to an equality with
tie other. 'i'heE Emperor must eth
er lose his absolute power in Aus
tria, give to his subjects more liberty
or else prove himsclfa tyrant, wrest
from the Hungarians, what little of
liberty they had enjoyed, set aside.
the provisions Of their constitutions,
and assume absolute control of their
government.
But whenever did a tyrant obey
anything but his own impulses and
inclination? The Emperor ofAus-
tria at first made stealthy encroach-
ments upon the Hungarian constitu-
ton. Step by step, did he advance,
until At last he refused to take the
oath of fidelity. This was the down.

from that time to the present, they
have been endeavoring to regain
their ostpriyilegos. But they were

act proclaimed them to bo enemies

of men who knew no mercy, and
who would, did they possess tho
power, willingly blot out from tho
face Of the earth, every nation that
holds sympathy with freedom.
Necessity and fear will loosen the,
bonds Of tyranny, when justice is,

disturbances which occurred in,
Hungary in 1892, a Hungarian dict
assembled. They were determined,
if possiblo. to lessen the bonds under
which they were grooming. But

kossuth at this session moved
the appointment Of a Hungarian
ministry. and he was appointed
chairman Of a committee to demand
the new cabinet. The Austrian
ministry was, at this time, in great
CONSERVATION. The news Of the
French Revolution had excited the
to revolt, and Vienna was il,
their hands. 1'yrants at alltimes
are towards at heart. so it proved
in this instances, for the Austrian
government, seeing how matters
stood, acccded to the demands of
Hungary. aaa
Up to this time, the Hungarians
had no intention of sevoring their
connection with the Austrian En-
peror, but only to regain their con-
stitutional rights. This was all they
desired or asked, and these Austria
through fear, was compelled to grant, /.
