The German Parliamentary Punish.
49, mcnt Bill.
+ LONDON, January, IA Berlin dispatch
says: THE parliamentary punishment bill
continues to be the chief topic OF converse
ton in all political circles. The opinion Of
the foreign press is largely quoted in CON-
parison with articles in journals here,
which seems to yield the curious result that
abroad there is more opposition TO the
Chancellor's scheme than in Germany itself.
There is certainly great opposition here to
the bill, though to the English mind
it is somewhat surprising to find so
much unconcern reigning, in view OF
the fate which seems TO threaten the free
dom of speech and the liberty OF the press.
The Nord, Deutsche Al!egen, Zeitung, and
Poste. defend the Chancelor's scheme.
| The Koeng Zeitung, though admitting the
necessity Of some restraint on parliament
airy speech, thinks, with the Liberals, that
the bill in its present form is inadmissible,
for the reason that it changes several arti-
Giles OF the Constitution, which cannot be
done without a special resolution by the
Reichstag TO that effect. In parliamentary
circles the question is being discussed
whether the bill, in view of certain articles
OF the Imperial Constitution, might not be
rejected q timine. That might, doubtless
be done il majority OF the House wonlt
only resolve to do 1t. but many persons
here believe that Bismarck, despite The
present opposition, will ultimately succeed
in carrying the measure, but with only ;
few changes.
