BERLIN, February 1st.-Daily incidents
strengthen the expression that there is a
serious divergence in the views between
Bismarck and the Emperor. or those hay
ing the immediate confidence of the En-
peror, upon the proper course of the Gov
eminent in some important international
concerns.
Bismarck's objection to the tone OF the
speech from the throne has been COM
mented upon.
The fact that the Objectionable part was
the reference to labor troubles, and that
Won Berlehsch has been appointed to a
place in the Ministry, giving him control
of those things practically in the place Of
Bismarck, seems to imply that the En-
peror intends 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 successfully all the leaders of the
different groups and in conference every
day with some OF the prominent members
of the Government groups, having a free
interchange of views, and communicating
their own IDEAS Oh the proper management
of electors,
BismafcA tas maintained singular reli-
! cence as to the policy To be pursued 10 the
elections. His silence embarrasses the
Government candidates. Bismarck letter
| to the GerrIsn ambassador to The Vatican
| is published, obviously to influence the
opinions Of Catholic voters.
| 1t declares the Government sees with
pleasure the estr hlishment Of Catholic mis-
si1ns in the Ger. an colonies, and promises
| all religious orders shall be admitted in
| Guiding the Jesuiis, and that all may rest
assured OF protection from Germany.
Cardinal Rampolia responded expressing
/ the great satisfaction of the Pope at his step
and making his congratulations upon this
q further advance towards complete con-
cord.
The appointment of Won Berlehsch to
| be Minister of Commerce and Mines is
regarded by many as ruse to catch for the
Government candidates the votes of the
| miners, pleased with the fancy that the
Government is ready TO do great things for
| them.
The forecasts of the result of the cleo
tons are generally to the effect that the
German Conservatives, Reichs party and
Centre party will remain nearly intact,
while the German liberals will lose several
seats. The National liberals are in the
greatest danger as it is thought they will
lose twenty five seats. The Socialists hope
to increase their strength from eleven to

date in Pomerania. In addressing meet

because the law. without the expulsion
clause, was like q knife without blade.

| the new Reichstag would be more amena-
bic than the last one was to the views Of
the Government, and if the country was
forced to do without the Socialistlaw, there
was reason to fear minor state of siege to
be replaced by full application OF martial
| law.
As a matter of principle the Socialist
democracy must be denied the right of ex-
istence in any well ordered State.
| Colonel Stoffel's pamphlet on the Franco
| German alliance excites the greatest inter-
est. The FolRische Zeit1ng says the idea
that Germany would buy peace from France
by the cession of the imperial provinces of
Alsace and Lorraine is the merest chimera,
and that no generation Of Germans will
| ever dare TO cede an inch of German soil
which was soaked with the blood of its
| fathers.
The only value StoffePs argument has is
| in the fact that while his countrymen in
| France are wild with Russomania. he
warns them against the danger of slave
dom and the influence of vast barbaric
State in the councils of Europe
The B0rSea Courier and the National lei
Mag consider this point, and concur that
Stoffel's warning 10 France against an alli-
ance with Carbon will fall on deaf ears
now, as did his warning in 1870 against the
precipitation of France unp1epared into a
great war.
