ton in foreign. country Of the personal
qualities Of a German, especially when
made by so important body as the house
of representatives, is gratifying to our ma

The Lasker incident continues the
most prominent topic of newspaper discus
sion. The North German Gazette says the
opposition press has not even attempted to
oppose by arguments based upon facts, the
attitude assumed by Bismarck toward the
Lasker resolution. We maintain the dis
patch returning the resolution was couched
in most considerate tone. In preparing
the dispatch Bismarck was evidently guided
by the idea that the majority of American
representatives had not known Lasker. We
shall not err in assuming the initiative to
