pronounced ON the socialist deputies
foim dominant subject of excited
discussion r5uehout Germany. With
the exception of the Clerical aud Con-
ssrvative neWspap r., all condemn the
verd ct,and even the Conservative pa

ersl papers point ont that the effect
OF the judgment will be to establish as
an axiom law that q political party
supported by over one million electors
can be treated as a secret society. The
prosecution, the papers say, failed TO
establish single proof that the &C.
cused belonged to secret society.
They were virtually adjudgsd because
they were protested adherents of the
socialist party. A movement is on foot
to raise funds to pay the costs OF the
trial Of the convicted deputies. The
police OF Berlin do not relax
the severity Of the socialist hunt. No
public reunion of workmeD, even uu-
der police permit, is allowed free
discussion. For instance, meeting
Of csrtwIights, after disposing of the
society's business, discussed the pro-
Rramme for trade fets. One speaker
advocated the holding of the fete on
Sunday, that being "the only day suit
able for persons not born with gold
spoon in the mouth" The Commits.
sary Of Police held that the use of
this phrase was an infraction of the
law, and he dissolved the meeting.
The Liberrl Press ridicules this action
on the part of the Commissary, but
the police persist in their course.
HERR Won GossLER,
Prussian Minister of Public Worship
and Instruction, has ordered tina. pri-
vate schools in Prussia shall hence
for;k only be allowed in places where
the public instruction OF children of
the legal school age is insufficient.
This measure will tend to suppress the
whole system of private education ex-
cept in regard TO domestic tutors and
governe ses. Under the new educa-
ton act every tutor must be registered
as Mi'glaed des Hauslan des, member
of the household, and every private
teacher will require certificate of
professional scientific competence.
The teachers Themselves approve the
system. The Polish communes in
Posen are resisting the governments
interference with the schools. The
municipal authorities of LISA and
Rogasen were offered and a grant to
establish an inferior school for girls,
but they refused to accept the grant
on the ground that such schools were
net wanted, az these already existing |
were sufficient. Others oppose the |
by simple inertia, thus |
thwar ing the governments plans for
the Commanding of Poland.
HERR Won BENNtasEN's ORGAN,
the National Liberal Correspondence, dis.
cussing the subject Of German indus
trial representation at the Paris Exbi.
bition IN 1889, says: "If the French
Government is strong enough to pre-.
vent hostile demonstrations against
German exhibitors and visitors, Ger
man msnuf5 ctureis will not hesitate to
.eud exhibits. The arrangement may
depend on Frenzy Diplomacy. If
France can persuade the German G v
eminent to assent, Russia aud Auet;ia
will not hesitate to follow"
APART FROM THE HEIDELBERG JUBILEE
The papers are filed with stories of
he Gastein interviews. Every move
nent of Emperor Wilfam and Prince
Bismarck is noted. IL is recorded
hat Bismarck, accompanied by his
logs, takes his usual wa k ng exercise,
whether the weathsr Sc damp or
Amy, without overcoat or UMBRELLA,
OF the rain streaming down
IN his black suit. He a knowledges
vi salutes, raising his haJ Just az he
would in fair weather. The following
Incident is mentioned: Emperor
while at Ems, met the young
aides of the school on the prone
lsde. The girls liued each foot of
he walk, and the Emperor stopped
md chatted with them. He singled
,ut three English girls, and conversed
With them about his own English
law. The girls, who were
charmed by his affability, dubbed
ogether and sent him a bouquet,
through au aid.de-camp, as a graceful
acknowledgement OF his courtesy.
