 The new revelations about King Ludwig of Bavaria and his disinclination to have his kingdom incorporated into the German em- pire, which are published in the "Bayerische Vaterland, D are not likely to please Prince Bismarck. They fully confirm the statements of the EmperorAE Fedsriah hisf dissy tsaat the King of Bavaria was not in situation to withstand the incorporation. The "Vater- land" states that when the project of restor- ing the German empire was first mentioned King Ludwig turned first to the Emperor of Austria; next he wrote from Stuttgart, not from Munich, to the Russian Czar. Both declared at once that they would not inter- fere in the business. Consequently, left helpless and without any counsel from his fellow-sovereigns he called his minister of war and asked, s'Csn rely upon my army" Herr yon Pranckh was amazed and replied, ''Your Majestyl cannot say" This was a sufficient answer and after 8 conference of some hours with the Austrian minister, Count Beust, in Hohenschwangan, the proud Bavar- ian King wrote to the Prussian King asking him to assume the Imperial German crown.
 The Tribune has these true and foreible words to say concerning the Sackville inci- dent: The interference of the British govern menE with an election in this country is deeply resented by all Americans, whya Not because of any blind and bigoted prejudice; genuinerAffeotion unites the English people and their blood relations here. But the po1- icy of the British government is held by Americans to be hostile to the best interests of the British working working people, who constitute the vast majority there as here, and it is known 10 be policy which would sacrifice American workers for the benefit of British traders and capitalists. In this mat- ter the British worker ought to be, and as he becomes more intelligent he is, the firm ally of the American workers against a policy which depressses wages of labor everywhere. The workers have not yet the power to gov ern Great Britain, but they can govern the United States and by 8 sensible use of their power can maintain here an impregnable barrier for the defense of all wsge~earners against the far-reaching conspiracy of mas- ters and traders which dictates the policy of the English government.
