was lessened, however, by the ANNA
ton of the general debate on the
socialist bill in the house, the ora
lions rising to the historic interest of
the occasion. Herr Bebel, the social
ist, opened the debate. He denied
that state persecution effected any
thing towards the destruction of social
ism. He said he was not surprised that
the government sought to render the
suppression law permanent, but the So
cial democracy, he declared, was indie
structible. The proceedings of the gov

the medieval persecution of heretics. If
the masses are incapable, as the govern
ment alleged, of forming political

NECESSITY TAUGHT MEN TO THINK.
Herr Bebel here proceeded to COM
pare the present administrative system
| of Germany with that of Napoleon Ill.
1t was to be placed to the credit of the
social democracy, he said, that anarch-
ism - had disappeared. Herr Most's
paper, the Freiheit, was the product of
| secret police agents and prOvocateurs.
He knew as a fact that the first pub
| Usher of the Freiheit was now police
| official at Hanover. In concluding his
| speech Herr Bebel predicted that his
| party would be found strong enough to
destroy the present majority in the
reichstag. Herr Herrfurth, minister of
the interior, in reply to Herr Bebel,

next spoke. He reminded the house of
the statement made by the socialist,
Dietz, at Thursdays sitting, that the
author of the pamphlet printed in Zu-
rich, entitled "a Woman'S Hand in
German Policy was Duke Ernst,
of aXe-Coburg- Gotha. The manuscript,
it was asserted, had been sent to
the publisher with some hundred mark
notes. The Hamburg police had sup

The pamphlet had to find a publisher
outside of Germany in the socialist
press of Zurich. The queen of England
and her daughter could not be insulted
in Germany with impunity. The
prince proceeded to protest against
the acticle in the National Zeitung

determined opponent of the opinions of

ment should not lead to situation in
capable of any issue but that of force.
The people as we'll as the government
must be left in the certain possession of
a free choice of means for arriving at
common end. There was in social
democracy good deal of idealism-a
quality gradually becoming very rare in
Germany and one that was giving way
to place-hunting. This closing re-
mark was received with bursts
of cheers from several of the
political groups in the house. the
ons from his friends. The vote on the
whole bill was soon afterward taken,

| declaration, showing its willingness to
accept the bill without the expulsion
| clause. The Conservatives voted "no"
| with the PrOgressiStS, the Centre party
and the Socialists, against the combined

tional-Liberals. The bill was rejected

Importance in the development of the
empire that my feelings cOnstrain- me to
recall from the throne itself the results
to which your labors, combined with

tried by death, but IN the trials
made by the loss of the EN-
perors, my grandfather and my

monarchial feeling of the people have
found an edifying demonstration. The
emperor here expressed his thanks that
the changes made necessary by the de-

peacefully and TRANQUILITY accomplished.
For that, he said, Acknowledgements

Facilities had been given eto artisans

with especial satisfaction that he hailed
the continuous application of the recon-
mendations embodied in the imperial
message to parliament in the year 1881,
especially the law for the insurance of
invalid and aged workmen. These
measures were guarantees for the well
fare of the people. He felt that in the
future they would be attended with
good results, and would contribute
to the domestic peace of the father
land. Although much remained to be
done in this field, ne was convinced

had been done. On the ground already
gained there must be further building
