Between Switzerland and Germany
marked coolness now exists. The German
government, ever since the bomb explosion
IN Zurich, have been quite uneasy over the
fact that so many German socialists are at
large in Switzerland. Not long ago Berlin
police official named Wohlgemuth was sent
to stir up the socialists to some revolutionary
action which would insure their Punishment
from amcng the Swiss. Herr Wohlgemuth
commenced operations by brbing Swiss
socialist to foment a rebellion, but the bribe-
taker, instead of following out the instruc-
tions of the German official, promptly re-
ported the entire proceeding to the govern
ment authorities, who Immediately put Herr
Wohgcmuth in Jail. Through the interces-
sion of the German government - was
released, but was given but twenty four
hours in which to get back to his native land
closures in London and the Wohlgemuth
affair. it seems evident that Bismarcks
recent attempts to interfere in foreign
affairs are not remarkably successful.

the first anniversary Of the emancipation
of Brazilian slaves has been recently cele-
brated in that empire, despite the fact that
the government is undergoing the excite
ment of a cabinet crises, largely due to the
influence of the slaveholding class aud the
persistent efforts to force the government 10
compensate planters for their liberated slaves
While the industrial Disturbance caused by
Brazilian emancipation proved much less
serious than had been expected. and rapidly
subsided, the political disturbance thus oc-
casioned seems to have become more and
more serious. and the outcome cannot yet be
predicted. When the decree of emancipation
was issued the expressions of popular ap-
proval throughout the empire and through.
out the world were so loud and earnest that
the murmurs of discomfort could
not be heard, and the dissatisfied
planters found themselves silenced.
The opponents of emancipation

force, to Wage-earning, the Industrial dis.
turbance was much less serious than had
been feared, and soon ceased to exercise an

The political disturbance, however, gained in
force as the popular enthusiasm over eman-
cpation subsided and the discontented slave
holders became a political power The gov

checking the spread of republican scnti ment
and strengthening its own popular sup

The rebellion among the mountaineers of
Morocco is spreading, Prince Hamid, the
heir to the throne has fallen into their
hands, ana the sultan is raising an army to
crush the rebels. The sultan has been par
ticular.y busy for Two years past trying to
subdue the fierce mountaineers, who now
| and then assume the aggressive. The result
| has been unfavorabic to the sultan's arms.
| His enemies can not face him lear his chief
towns, but in their own mountain districts
| they have not been subdued by any force he
| has yet brought against them. In May, last
| year. the sultan took the field IN person, with
| host of 10000 men and camp followers,
| against the rebellious tribes who live north
| west of Mequincz. After n few skirmishes
| the sultan flattered himself that ne had sup
| pressed the revolt, but he had no sooner set
| out on his Compromised visit to Tangier
| than the whole district burst into fame
| again, and in the battles that followed the
! basha of Meauinez and the sultan's own
! cousin was among the slain. The history of
Morocco has been written in blood by long
line of tyrannical rulers, who have been un-
surpassed in the worlds annals for ferocty;
and yet, though they have ground their peo-
| pie by the most cruel despotism, they can
not conquer the country they call their own.
| Here is land, almost within sight Of Eu-
| rope, whose mountains are full OF precious
| metals and whose valleys TEEN with naturc's
blessings, and yet it is one of the most down
| trodden, hopeless, and unprogressive parts of
| the world
