BERLIN, Dec. 27.-The Socialist leaders
issued manifesto tonight affirming the
determination of the Socialist party to rally
: the peasants around the flag of Socialistic
reform. 1t says the life OF agricultural la
porers is scarcely human, and that they are
serfs In all but name. The bright dawning
OF new era shall bring rejoicing to the
peasants as we'll as 10 the t9ilers in the cities,
and they shall learn that they have a right
to the beautiful earth, the fruits whereof
they NAV stretch forth their hands and
enjoy. They must be taught that the patri-
archal system is the mortal foe Of the
agricultural laborer. The peasant proprie-
Tor and the aristocracy are becoming brandy
distillers, and will make the peasants the
slaves of machinery, as town workers have
already been made. The manifesto asks the
members of the party to contribute money
TO assist the rural propaganda. Behind the
declarations. in the manifesto, which the
Government might disregard, are practical
arrangements for lecture tours, the forma-
tion Of rural branches, etc., which are
already having disquietng effect upon the
official mind. The nature of the manifesto
was known to the Government before its
publication, and the m after was referred to
the Emperor, who instructed that nothing
should be done to suppress it.
bogus KocHEN.
1t has been discovered that a spurious
Imitation of Kochs lymph is being manu-
factured and number of cases are reported
In which foreign medical men have been
deceived into purchasing it. The manu-
facturers have not yet been discovered. The
medical profession throughout. the empire is
growing more and more INDIGNANT over
the manner in which the lymph is dis
tributed and Koch's secrecy regarding
. its production. Koch, in an interview
who urged the professor to disclose the whole
process, got very wroth at the proposal and
declared he had a right to do as he
pleased with his discovery. The Tageblatt
asSails this position as scandalous and says
the capacity of koch's clique will certainly
be severely criticized when Minister Won
Gossler moves in the Landtag grant for
Koch and his assistants of 5000, coo marks
with fifteen per cent on the annual sales of
the lymph.
The treatment in the case of William
DegaD, who came here from New York, has
proved failure. He has had four injections.
and his symptoms are the same as when he
arrived.
BIsMARCK's BELLIGERENCY.
The prospects of the submission of the
Conservative majority in the Landtag on
the Commercial Reform Bill mas become re-
mote. Bismarek's organ, in a series of
articles, evidently inspired by the ex-Chan-
ceilor, urges the Conservatives not to
yield. The Government organs assert
that the Government is resolved
to maintain the project In its in
tegrity. The Liberal press continues
to claPor for immediate dissolution
Other menacing causes of political con-
fiIct are Emperor Williams educational pro-
Jects and the Austrian treaty of commerce.
!The hamburger Nachrichten (Bismarck's
organ) leads the aggressive campaign. 1t
asserts that the Relchstag ought to be dis
solved and the sense of the country taken
on the projects. which have never
been submitted to the electorate and
which affect the highest interests
Of the empire. Bismarck's tactics
10 assuming the offensive against the
Government is supposed to have been
adopted for the purpose of fomenting and
and embarrassing the Ministry in the hope
that he might prove himself again an newt
able chief. Won Gossler is known to differ
with the Emperor in regard to his ideas on
education. 1t is reported that he offered to
resign. but at The request of the Emperor
consented to remain for the present TO give
the Emperor time to select his successor.

peter, Emperor Williams former tutor.
