BISMARCK'S PRESS AND THE BRIT
ISL PARLIAMENT.

By SON OF ST. PATRICK.
DUBLIN, April 20, 1876.
sent you some days ago short paper-''Prnce
Bismarck's Notions on Home Ruers'-whic CHI was
an extract from the Nord Deutscle AUgenleane
zettung OF the 18TH OF April, rejecting IN any
thing but complimentary terms Mr.. owen
Lewis, the NJ. p. for Carlow borough.
THE IRISH NJ P. REPLIES TO TIE PRUssIAN STATES
MAN.
IL seems that Mr.. Lewis attention was called 70
this paragraph and he addressed to the Berlin
newspaper letter in reply. The original extract
and MIR. Lewis letter are published in the Dublin
FTeemdn's Journal OF this day.
THE GERMAN PRESS DARE NOT PUBLISH THE NOTE.
But it did not suit the Berlin paper to publish
this letter. With characteristic audacity 1t gives
a thoroughly dishonest account OF Lewis letter,
and suitably co nments on its own dishonest ver-
sion. Any one comparing the original letter OF
Lewis with this paragraph from the Nord DeutSche
Augemetne ZeitunQ viii be able to form some
opinion not only Of Berlin notions or falr play"
but also OF the style OF dealing with inconvenent
adversaries which IS IN favor In the Prusslan
capital
WHAT HE THINKS OF THE GERMAN MINISTERIAL

The Nord Deutsche AIgeHetr1e Zettupg, In Its
Issue dated Wednesday, April IA, reported Mr..
Lewis question and Mr.. D1sraeli's answer on
Monday, April IL, concerning the note addressed
TO the Belgian government by the Berlin Foreign

1t gave tie following paragraph place IN us sec

Extract from the editorial page OF the Nord

The Member OF Parliament, Mr. owen Lewis,
writes TO the editor o. this journal letter, at the
beginning OF wnlcn he aflrms the sad TACT that
Prussia has no notion OF what FAR plaYu means
IN England. and In the remaining portion oil when
QUE rude expression surpasses the other In coarse
ness However in the interest OF truth, we com
ply with the wish OF this rude fellow, and note
the TACT that he IS no FenIan. therefore
ne Is not perurer. as according to
ms own admission ne otheI wise would oe. but
he is a home ruler moving within the limits OF the
law. Tne letter. the style OF which would DIS
grace the manners even oil fomeranian boor,
bears in the signature string OF titles which oc-
