The Germs n Quostfon-The Game Against
Austria.
The present position of Prussia on the ques-
ton that agitates Germany is in one sense re-
markably like that Of the radicals on the vital
four years against men who proposed to carry
certain States out Of the Union, claiming and
declaring constantly that our nationality and
existence depended upon the fact that no State
could leave the rest We triumphed but no
sooner was the war over than the dominant
party stepped around to the views of our ene-
mics and declared that the States were ont, all
the time had been out, and that the question Of
the day was next to determine the conditions
on which they could come in.
Prussia has inst been guilty Of the same fiat
contradiction of herself She and Austria to-
gether made war against Denmark for the two
duchies. Denmark claimed them as her own
but Prussia and Austria declared that the rights
Of Denmark had expired that the duchies be-
longed now TO o German prince, and that the
Scandinavian must give way On this position
the duchies we're taken by force; but now
Prussia repudiates all notion that Germany at
large or any German prince has any rights in
the matter declares that the duchies belonged
Of right to Denmark, and now belong to
the Powers that tore them from her. She
holds TO this last view so tcnaciously
that she is even ready TO make war
against her late ally simply because that
ally insists that the two Powers did not take
the duchies for themselves, but for Germany.
In our own case, we know very well what
turned the radicals round. To cover and
carry out party games il was necessary to
hold opinions directly antagonistic to those the
war was waged on; and they faced about with
out scruple. They hold that the States are out
in order to be consistent with something that
they propose for the future, not caring TO be
consistent with the past In the same way the
Prussian change Of front indicates a political
game of so much future Importance that mere
consistency is trife in comparison with il.
This game is to be played on large scale,
and Is altogether the arrangement of the Euro
pean Napoleon and NJ Bismark. The slate was
doubtless made up at Biarritz last year. France
few years since desired to extend her frontier
in two directions-toward Italy on the one
hand and Germany on the other Her wishes
toward Italy induced the Italian war. That
was a struggle in which France and italy
