BERLIN, February ol.-The Norih German
Gosate, B.smarcl's organ, repels the at
'acks Of opposition newspapers on the de.
cree Of Bismarck relative 10 the Laske,
Resolution. 1t says they do not express
the slightest indignation at the attempt OF
a foreign hodyto interfere in Tie internal
affairs Of Germany. The reqlsat addressed
TO Bjsmarck by Minister SArgeant WAS OF
such a remarkable character that it could
only be explained by his ignorance Of diplo.
matte usage. 1t amounts to nothing less than
asking the Emperor to endorsey!a vote OF a
foreign body and hand it to the r s;cha.ag,
for Blsmarck's duty is simply to execute the
commando OF the Emperor. Bismarck ia
not in the employment Ct international de-
m cracy, but OF the German Emperor. In
the same way that the American Congress
has att mpted 10 cause the gloritication Of
the late leader Of tho secessionis.s BY the
Emperor, 80 could any foreign procrrssist
body seek to give a vote of confidence in
Herr Richter, or auy socialist body sim-
liar vote in Herr Behel. ~, - e. q, ,3a5,'
