The debate on the German constitution and the van
endeavors OF the clerical party TO amend it in q
spirit favorable to The interests OF Catholicism, il
sulices to mention briefly the third reading on Eri-

took the floor. This was the renowned partcularist
Professor Ewad, OF G5ttingel, Hanover who Is al
mitted TO be rather cAtrayagant opponent OF
Prussia ana It's strides since 1868. In opening his
speech he pointed out the contradiction of terns in
the SAID constitution which speaks In many places
OF an emperor and realm, and in others or q federal
union Bund Council and Bund authorities. A realm,
conended Professor Ewald, Is not a confederation
for that means equality among lis members, while

| powers to the Emperor. Furthermore you CAL this
the German realm. Bat such one ought TO embrace
The whole German nation ana where are Luxem-
