The German Socialists.
BERLIN, March I9-In his speech in the
reichstag, on Monday last, Herr Liebricht
(soclalist) commended that Hoedel and Noe
bling, the would be assassins of Emperor
William, were not socialists. He said the
socialists were convinced that the progress of
history and the triumph of their philanthropic
programme could not be impeded by the ex-
istence of any single individual. Their socie-
ties might be dissolved and their journals
suppressed, yet they would cling to their
tenets. The middle classes would soon per-
ceive that what they really ought to dread
was the government drill and barrack sys-
tenn. 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-soeiaGst
laws. The government should itself be
placed at the bar for imposing It's petty state
siege in Berlin, rather than the socialists.
Remaining seated when tie emperor was be-
ing cheered was not to insult, but merely a
duty which the socialists owed to their polit-
ical convictions.
