Emperor had been induced to give his assent
after the customary amount OF resistance.
That body, composed for the most part OF
men who for many years had failed to ac-
quire any enlarged ideas Of craftsmanship, re-
jected the bill to reform the provincial admin
istration, for which the Emperor had gone so
far as to express q personal preference lho
discussions which consequently arose III tDo
Prussian Cabinet showed that several Oh
tho uomhers were hostile to the thorough
reorganization of the Upper House, suggested
by Prince Bismarck and the temporlZlnS
counsels of the more conservative members
of the Cabinet were adopted by the Emperor
II ia an anomaly rarely seen outside OF
Prussia that n Minster-President must be
held responsible for q policy recommended Dy
scant majority of the Ministers against BIS
own advice. Yet according to TINS pecuilir
system it was by no means regarded as essen
tial that any of the Ministers should resign
on account of this diversity OF opinions
short time afterward it was announced that
Prince Bismarck was obliged by the multitude
of his official duties to withdraw from the
Presidency of the Ministry. Similar OLSEN
sions had frequently taken place, ana the
statement was by no means destitute OF piau-
sibility. for the duties of Prince Bismarck
were both mnltitudinOus and Onerols.
Ever since Bismarck's accession TO the Pres
idency of the Prussan Ministry he has dis
ploved great annoyance at the incongruity OF
his position. 1t was tolerably well known to
his colleagues that he desired TO Dc al tne
head of n harmonious Ministry, and that while
nominally responsible for the policy Oh the
Government, he wished it to be his own
policy The emergency was such taYoraoie
one for the purposes of Bismarck that we
could not avoid inclning very strongly 10 the
opipion that he had availed himself OF 1t,
and finding that the Emperor was not
disDosed TO adopt his suggestions, wlthdreW
from his responsible position. ms OPINION
seems to bo confirmed by telegram from
Berlin which we published yesterday morning.
in announcing his rcappOintment as Minister
President in place of Gen. Won Room, 1t was
stated that 1t was understood g that his
"restoration to the post carries with it the
defective control of the whole Cabinet,
"wb' n he demanded previous to his Tesigna-
"titl.n When we consider that the Emperor
had placed himself in the hands OF some
of the most illibcral advisers, and that the
return of Prince Bismarck TO his former pO-
sition in the Prussian Ministry is the only
means by which the views OF the sovereign
may be reconciled to the progressive spirit OF
the kingdom, the present aspect OF affairs
must be regarded with satisfaction. The
change occurs at time when the election re-
turns show that the Liberal majority in the
popular branch of the Legislature will be
greatly augmented, giving an additional guar
antce Tor future progress.
