Such are the men TO whom the Government Of
Hungary is now lntrustsd but they have ALREADY
peror and of the confidence the nation puts in the
by redeeming all the pledges required from them by
the powers al, Vienna. :, Without delay they mtrds
duced four bills in Parliament and had Them passed
within week, without which the Austrian Ministers
would scarcely have transferred their power to tho
Hungafians According to our constitutional notlonSs
all the taxes excise and duties now levied in Hun;
gary unconstitutional, since they were not voted
by the Hungarian Parliament The first bill, there
FORE introduced by Nj. Lonyay was TO legaize the
present taxation Of the country to maintain the laws
Of excise and all the mOnopoes up to the end OF the
year-in fact to the time when the new budget IS 10
be voted The second bill offered 5000 soldiers tn
the Emperor to be levied according To the Old law
not by conscpton. Next to it came the reconstIuc.
tiOn of the municipalities upon the old system Oh
triennia elections and last the bill about the freedoms
of the press introducing the trial by jury for any
nlISdemeanOrS OF the press. }
During the parliamentary debates upon those bllS
the Opposition, which does not amount 10 more than
one fourth of the members, behaved in the most
loyal way and Mr. TsZa, the leader OF the MlnortyS
evidently proves that he too might advance to tho
Ministerial chair. The Emperor, fully satisfied thaS
his experiment has succeeded now comes down rom
Vienna; he arrives to-day and viii be received Win
the most sincere enthusiasm. What change wrought
by the long series of Is years! who would hay9
thought il possible that the men Of 1913 could oncd
more heartily cheer that Emperor against whom they
had risen in arms and that the Emperor eond fnily
trust bis old rebels state prisoners and eAesi an
mutually in the most graceful and the most CONF
plete way.
However I do not mean TO say that every reason
for distrust has completely ceased. that Hungary
is maddened by some sudden enthusiasm. On tho
contrary, we are fully aware that with the eXeepto!
of the Emperor, of the Empress OF Baron Best, ana
of Baron Becke, the Imperial Minister of Finances
have scarcely any friends at Vienna, and we tak9
relations with Croatiaare still most unsatSiactofy5
at Fiume. where the population displayed flags ana
celebrated the nomination of our Ministry with q
tOrchlight procession, the leading citizens, among
them NJ. MatkOvich, an old man of IS, were thrOWI
into prison by the Croatian Governor Mr. Snatch, and
still unable to get those poor people release1
by an Imperial order We know that the military
had orders to ignore the Hungarian Ministry, and wa
hear that the Archbishop OF the Orthodox WailaJ
chans wanted call ROumaDe Convention togethen
Just in the same way as he did i'll 1913. We read IN
the Romane papers appeals TO arm against the Huns
gaIians in fact the advanced gnari OF the OPPOSITION
shouts breakers dhed: but our Ministry go about thel4
business in Il safer way than III 1913, and instead OF
the anarchy which prevailed at Vienna at that
time there is a real statesman at the helm who has
no interest in tleceving the Hmgarians. Everybody
all over Europe knows that If the present eXperImene
