BERLIN. December 27th-The Socialist
leaders issued a manifesto to-l light affirm
ing the determination of the Socialist party
to rally the peasants around the flag Of So
cialistic reform. 1t says the life of agri-
cultural laborers is scarcely human, and
that they are serfs in sill but name. The
bright dawning of a new era shall bring
rejoicing to the peasants as well as to the
toilers in the cities. They must be taught
that the patriarchsl system is a mortal fee
of the agricultural laborer. The peasant
proprietor and the aristocracy are becoming
brandy distillers, and will make the peas
ants the slaves of machinery, as the town
workers have already been made.
The manifesto asks the members Of the
party to contribute money to assist in the
rural propaganda.
The nature of the manifesto was known
to the Government before its publication,
and the matter was referred TO the En-
peror, who instructed that nothing should
be done to suppress it.
1t has been discovered that spurious
imitation of Koch's lymph is being manu-
featured, and a number OF cases are reported
in which foreign medical men have been
deceived into purchasing it. The manu-
fscturers have not vet been discovered.
The medical profession throughout the
Empire is growing more and more indig-
nant over the manner in which the lymph
is dis ributed and Koch's secrecy regarding
lis production.
Koch, in an interview with an eminent
English physician, who urged the professor
10 disclose the whole process, got very
wroth, at the proposal and declared that
be had a right to do as be pleased with his
discovery.
The Tageblot assails this position as
scsndalous, and says the capacity of kochs
clique will certainly be severely criticised
when Minister Won Gossler moves in the
Landtsg grant for Koch and his assistants
of 5000, GOO marks, with Is per cent. on the
annual sales of the lymph.
The treatment in the case of William
has proved failure. He has had four in.
jections. and the symptoms are the same
as when he arrived.
The prospects of the submission of the
Conservative majority in the Landtag on
the commercial reform bill has become re-
mote. Bismarck s organ, in a series of
articles, evidently inspired by the ex.
Chancellor, urges the Conservatives not to
yield. The Government organs assert that
the Government is resolved to maintain
the project in its integrity. The Liberal
press continues to clamor for an immediate
solution.
Other menacipg causes of political con.
tict are Emperor Williams educational
projects and the Austrian treaty of com.
merce.
The Hamburger Nachrichten (Bismarck's
organ) leads the aggressive campaign. 1t
asserts that the Reichstag ought to be
dissolved, 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. Bismsrck's tactics in assuming
the offensive agains. the Government are
supposed to have been adopted for the
purpose of fomenting and exciting gen.
eral parliamentary disorder and embar-
RAISING the Ministry in the hope that he
might prove himself again the inevitable
chief.
Won Gossler is known to differ with the
Emperor in regard to his ideas on educa.
ton. 1t ls reported that he offered to re-
sign but at the request of the Emperor
consented to remain for the present, to
give the Emperor time to select his sue
cessor, who it is thought will be DR.. Hins-
peter, Emperor Williams former tutor.
The official census of Germany, recently
completed, gives Berlin population of
1,574, 435, an increase OF 25o 600 in FIVE
years. The next city is Hamburg, with a
population of $40 534, an increase of SO 534
since 1885. Leipsic, which has 353 3l2 H.
babitants, had only 159, 500 in 1885. This
is the greatest increase in any city, being
81 per cent.
Professor Wsiger of Strasbourg is dead.
