The lapse of the anti-socialist laws has
led to renewal of the discussion re-
garding Emperor Williams attitude
toward the socialist question. The
Cologne Gazette repeats that the en-
peror and all his ministers, with the
exception of Bismarck, desired the con-
tinuance of the special act, and were
ready to accept permanent act in the
form offered by the National Liberals,
namely: without the power of expul-
sion, but Bismarck disagreed and the
.eichstag in consequence dissolved. The
emperor himself, says the Gazette,
would never voluntarily have dispensed
with the act At the same time the
emperor views the death of the laws
without regret, confident of his ability
to solve the social problem without
them by means of remedial legislation,
depriving the party of discomfort OF
their most serious grievances.
The tone of most of the socialist meet
ings the past few days was one of equa-
ton, but all were orderly. A great meet
ing was held at the Brock brauerei. The
men present appeared to belong to the
intelligent working classes. They were
accompanied by their wives and
families, Several speeches were made.
A sheet entitled: Farewell to the So
cialist Law" explaining how Christian
ity might have been destroyed in it's in
ception if the Jewish and Roman author
tiles had only initiated the Russian po-
lice and dissolved every meeting of it's
founders met with large sale.
Herr Bebel declared in an interview
that his party would meet the govern
ment's remedial bills on their merits.
1t is notable that at the Berlin elections
for delegates to the coming socialist
congress at Halle. all the men belong..to
the moderate section of the party. A
large restaurant has been purchased at
Erfurt, and another with large hall
for meetings attached, will be bought
shortly to assist the propaganda know
ing that the repeal is only an expert
ment, the party will avoid giving oc-
casion for a renewal OF coercive laws.
The emperor is bestowing especial
attention to the schemes which the gov
ernment is preparing for the reform of
the rural local government, and the
national school system, as well as upon
the project OF direct taxation. The lar
reaching proposals of MIGUEL, minister
of finance, for the collection of an in
come tax, will, it is estimated, raise the
amount collected, 25 per cent. The
North German Gazette, commenting on
the Kaiser's reception in Austria, gives
hint which appears to confirm the
renewed rumors concerning new COM
mercial treaty with Austria. The fact
that the Austrian ministers were not
present at the railway station in Vienna
to meet the Emperor William on his
arrival there, is much commented on IN
connection with the Dreibund, but it is
officially declared that their absence had
no political significance. Emperor Will
liam having ignored him last year,
Count Won Taafe purposely absented
himself
