German Reichstag.

BERLIN, March l9.-In his speech in
/ the Reichstag on Monday, Herr Lieb-
kuecht, Socialist, contended that Heobcl
and Nobling, the would be-assassins OF
| the Emperor, were rot Socialists. The
Socialists, he said, were convinced OF
the progress of history and triumph,
and 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 classes would soon perceive that
what they really aught to dread was
the governments drill and barrack
system. II the government could
prove the connection Of the German
socialists with the attempts on the lives
OF the kings of Spain and italy he would
accept the anti-socialist law. The gov
ernment should be placed at the bar for
imposing Il petty state OF serge in Berlin
rather than the socialists. Remaining
seated when the Emperor was being
cheered was no insult, but merely duty
which the socialists owed their political
convictions.

ZenS.
