liberals 10 attach to IL declaration OF highly po-
itcal character. The Chancellor, who had been

Deputy LAsGER then sald:--he would ask to be
excused for having waited nnl the third Teading OF
the bill in bringing forward some general points
touching upon German politics. Some excuse might
be found in the throne speech which In an emphatic

Count Bismarck immediately rose III repiy and

publicly that j stand altogether aloof from this
notion that it s to me surprise and IN tic highest
degree undesirable, that from the commencement
was inclined 10 consider II a political error, and aJl
still, even after the speech OF Deputy Lasxer.
FIRST thought the accent ley on the words most
eariy.u Ii such had been the case We might have
arrived at an argument. But the Deputy IN hts
remarks has completely done away with this most
earlyn regret the tendency OF this monon FOR two
reasons. First, because 1t again furnishes me with
proof how difficult 1t is ior large parliamentary
bodies to preserve that measure Of SELF
control in interference with foreign policy
which alone enables the executive sup
ported by Parliament 10 reach its aims
