BIsMARCK's POSITION.
BERLIN, Feb. 21.-The North German
Gazette, Bismarck's organ, repels the attacks
of the opposition newspapers on the decree
of Bismarck relative to the Lasker resolution.
1t says, they do not express the slightest in
dignation at the attempt of foreign body to
interfere in the internal affairs of Germany.
The request addressed to Bismarck by Minis
ter Sargent, was of such remarkable char
acter, that it could only be explained by his
ignorance of diplomatic usage. 1t amount
ed to nothing more than asking the emperor
to endorse the vote of foreign body, and hand
it to the reichstag, for Bismarck's duty
is simply to execute the commands of the
emperor. Bismarck is not in the employ
of the international Democracy by the Ger
man emperor. In the same way that the
American congress had attempted to cause
the glorification of the late leader of the Sc
cessionists by the emperor, SO could any for
eign progressist body seek to give vote
of confidence in Herr Richter, or the socialist
body similar vote in Herr Bebel. The
National Gazette says: Bismarck's decree is
deprived of all sting for congress and the
American people because the whole
affair is made entirely mat
CtT Oh luternal Utru1dn pOllcy.
The Berline' Tage51at says: the resolution of
the American congress, which Bismark is
unwilling to impart to the reichstag, was
long ago conveyed to the whole nation
through the press. Indeed the publication of
the resolution was in the "0feial Gazette, :"
and shows that Bismarck himself arranged to
give the German people what he refused to
transmit to the reichstag, namely, demon
~ of 10 T lNrf fba
pie upon the other side of the ocean.
THE CONTROVERSY GETTING WARM.
BERLIN, Feb. 21.-The Deutsche Tagblatt,
contained a savage attack upon Minister
Sargent. The Berliner Tagblatt to-day repels
the attack and asserts that Sargent has had
no relations whatever with any political par
ty at Berlin. The North German Gazette, al
luding to the remarks of the National Gazette
about the American contributions to the re-
lief fund for the sufferers from the Rhine in
undation, says, we should like to call
attention to the fact that the debt of
gratitude contracted then towards
America, may be logically paid by raising
funds in Germany to help relieve the suffer
ers from the present flood in America The
National Gazette opposes the comments of the
North German Gazette, upon the Lasker in
cident. 1t says that the courtesy of legis-
lative body could be regarded as an act of
interference, and likely to provoke i'll feeling
could be the opinion only of people who can
not hear word of praise addressed to po-
litical adversary. Further, regarding the
assertion in the North German Gazette,
concerning the ignorant diplomatic usage
displayed by Minister Sargent in his note to
Bismarck, in transmitting the Lasker resolu-
ton. The National Gazette says there is NO
doubt the same assertion would have been
made if the resolution of the house of repre-
sentatives had been sent by Minister Sargent
direct to the president of the reichstag. We
do not feel inclined to take Minister Sargent's
part, but it is to be regretted that the element
of personal ill-feeling should be apparent in
the treatment of this question.
PARLIAMENT DoINGs.
LONDON, Feb. 21.-The conservative mem.
bers of parliament have decided to support
the election of Arthur Wellesley Peel, the
government candidate for the speakership,
which is about to become vacant by the re-
signation Of Sir Henry Brand. They de.
cided to continue their opposition to Brad
laugh taking his seat in the house of com
mons.
Gladstone, in the discussion, said the as
pect of affairs had changed since the 11tt
inst, when Bradlaugh last appeared before
them. An action at law had been begun
against Bradlaugh for thrice voting upon thai
day. The utmost would be done to obtain 6
| speedy judgment, and he asks the house tc
| await the decision of the law court before
taking action in the matter. This decision
would aid the house in arriving at just and
final judgment. Lord Randolph Church
| ill deprecated Gladstone's advice
| He called the Northamptonshire
electors q mob Labouchere, amidst great
uproar, called the attention of the speaker tc
| Churchilrs language. The speaker ruled the
| language was in order. Harcourt, home sec
retary, contended the battle was no Longer
against Bradlaugh, but against Northampton
His speech was strongly sarcastic, and chaff
ed Churchill and the opposition withou
mercy. When the vote was taken the speak
er ordered Bradlaugh to withdraw. Brad
laugh complied, protesting as he did so.
