BERLIN, February 1.-Daily incidents
strengthen the impression that there is q
serious divergence of views between Bis.
marck and the Emperor, or those having
the immediate confidence of the Em-
peror upon the proper course OF the
Government in some important interpa-
tional concerns. Bismarck's objection
to the tone of the speech from the throne
has been commented upon. The fact
that the Objectionable part to Bis
marck was the Emperor's reference
to the labor troubles, and that Won Ber
lephsch has been appointed to place in
the Ministry, giving him control Of tn ose
things, practically, in place of Bismarck,
seems to imply that the Emperor in
tends that those things shall be put in
the hands of one in sympathy with the
ideas set forth in the speech. Within
these few days the Emperor
has received successively all tie
leaders of the different groups,
and is in conference every day with
some prominent member of the Govern
ment groups, having free Interchange Of
| on the proper management of the elec-
tions. Bismarck has maintained singu-
lar reticence as to the policy to be pur-
sued in the elections. His silence en-
harnesses the Government candidates.
Bismarck'eSlette to the German am
bassador to the Vatican is published OBJ
viously to influence the opinions of the
Catholic voters. 1t declares that
the Government sees with pleas
ure the establishment of Catholic
missions in the German colonies; prom
ises that all religious orders will be ad-
mitted, including the Jesuits, and all
may rest assured of the protection of
Germany. Cardinal Ram polla responded, !,
expressing the extreme satisfaction of the
Pope at this step, and giving his con-
gratulations upon this further advance
towards complete concord.
The appointment of Won Berlephsch to
| be Minister of Commerce and Mines, is
! regarded by many as ruse to catch for
| the government candidates the votes of
the miners, who are pleased with the
fancy that the Government is ready to do
great things for them. Forecasts of the
results of the elections are generally to
the effect that the German Conservatives,
the Reichspartei and theCenter party will
| IctAalA hChIly lAt6Cbs IA0 0cTL1Au
Liberala lose several seats. Tho National
Liberals are in the greatest danger, as it
is thought they will lcse twenty-five
seats. The Socialists hope to increase
their strength from eleven to forty-two.
| Ex-Minister Won Pultkamer is a can
didate for Ssolp, in Pomerania. In ad-
dressing meeting of voters there, he
said he approved the Conservatives vot-
| ing against the Socialist bill when it
| finally came before the Reichstsg,
| because the law without the expulsion
clause was like knife without blade.
He thought there was no prospect
that the new Reichstag would
be more amenable than the last one
was to the views of the Government, and
ii the country was forced to do without
the Socialist law there was reason to fear
that the minor state of siege would be re-
placed by the full application of martial
law. AS q matter of principle, the
Socialist Democracy must be denied the
right of existence in any well-ordered
State.
4 Colonel Stoffel's pamphlet on the
Franco German alliance excites the great
est interest. The Kolnische Zeitune says
the idea that Germany would buy peace
from France by the cession of the i'm
perial province of Alsace- Lorraine is
the merest chimera; that no generation of
Germans will ever dare to cede an inch of
German soil, soaked with the blood of it's
fathers. The only value Stofel's argu-
ment has, is in fact that now while his
countrymen in France are wild with
Russomania, he warns them against the
danger of Slavdom and the influence of
the vast barbaric state in the
councils of Europe. The Borsen
Courier and National ZeitMng con-
slider this point and consider that
Stoffel's warning to France against an
alliance with Czardom, will fall on deaf
ears now, as did his warning in 1870
against the precipitation of France un-
prepared into a great war.
