LE1BKNECHT's SOCIALIST DEFENSE.
BERLIN, March 19.---In his speech in the
reichstag, Monday, Herr Leibknecht, socialist
contended that Hoedel and MODELLING, the
would-be assassins of the Emperor William,
were not socialists. The socialists, he said,
were convinced that the progress Of history and
the triumph of their philanthropic programme
could not be impeded by the existence of any
single individual. Their societies might be
dissolved and their journals suppressed, yet
they would cling to their tenets. The middle
what they really ought to dread
was the governments drill and
barrack system. If the government could
prove the connection of German socialists
with the attempts on the lives of the kings of
Spain and Italy he would accept the anti-so-
cialist laws. The government should itself be
placed at the bar for imposing petty stage of
siege in Berlin rather than the socialists. Re-
naming seated when the Emperor was being
cheered was no insult. but merely duty which
the socialists owed to their political convic-
tions.
