marked change in respect to the nationality Of
the moving classes-the Irish falling to the
rear and the Germans coming to the frcnt.
Last year the newly arrived Germans outnum-

especially from the North German Confedera-

political changes which Prussian supremacy

OF Prussia asserts that in his opinion no
question now exists which can disturb the
peace Of Europe.
