recent interviews with the emperor

which the chancellor thinks vital to the
empire. he either dissolves or he mades
fresh combinations within the reichStag
itself. The term of future reichstags
is five years, but as the new relchstag
will contain many Socialists OF eXtrava-
CANT views. an expression Of which
would disgust majority Of the lntelli-
gent workingmen in Germany, the
chancellor may not have long to wait
for all opportunity to dissolve, with the
hope of again reducing the number Of
Socialist members. as he did IN the pre-
vious general election when he was at
the helm of affairs. In the reichstag of
1884 there were twenty-fOur Socialist
members, but in the last one there
were only eleven. The members OF tile
Freisinnige party In 1884 numbered
100, but in the expired reich
stag they had but thirty-tive supporters.
In the next general election the German
Liberals expect not only to secure the
workingmen's vote. but considerable
share OF what is nnw called the COLI
servative vote, but which is gradually
becoming more liOeral every day. The
