Discussion of the socialist bill I'm the
Reichstag-PGwerful speech by
Count StOlheFg.

LONDON, Sept. 16.7--A dispatch from Berlin
gives the substance Of an able speech delivered
borg upon the Socialist biz. He said that few
wrought by the combinations Of Socialists and
by the propaganda of their ssnbversive princi-
luded by specious theories, they wished to
eliminate the idea of God from the hearts of
men; to substitute a vague ard unsubstantiaL
sentiment. which they called love of humanity,
for and to make rich by
dustry and enlightened enterprise, and divid-
ing them among the multitude free. Private
individuals and corporations, municipal and
ecclesiastic should unite together In this ,emer-
geney and strive to bring back the fear of God,
the love of the fatherland, and the practice Of
thrift, and uprigbtDess in all things, This
would stop the progress Of Socialists, and pre-
vent them from taking any further room.
Count 81 itolberg at the eonsqs2h h of his
and the Catholics, dwelt upon the folly Of doing
things by. halves, and he urged the House to
furnish the government with the necessary
sharp and effective weapons for the destruc-
ton Of this evil. which threatens the very OK
istence of the empire.
