LED HIM TO REFLECT

on what he was 10 DO without uItn. AS
soon as the adverse result Of the cleo
tions was perceptible this reflection must
have loomed up as one of serious mo-
ment, and all this led to the emperor's
unqualified adhesion to the princes pro-
jected parliamentary tactics. Daily for
all the time since the first ballots the en-
peror and chancellor have concentrated
the charge of playing the Center party as
the basis of a government combination.
The first measure showing the drift OF
the scheme is the revival of active
RELATIONS WITH THE VATICAN.
In an important dispatch Prince Bis
marck requests the pope's opinions and
his recommendation as to the restitution
to the Catholic clergy of the sums seques-
trated during the culsurkampf. The re-
port also credits the emperor with having
written personally to the pope OH the
closer connection of his proposed state
socialism with the Christian socialism
embodied IN the Papal allocutlons. An
other significant fact ls that the North
German Gazette throws over the National
Liberals with the declaration that the
Ceutrlsts, have come through the cleo
toral conflict intact and ara pledged to
MAINTAIN the progress already made in
social reforms, aud to initiate and carry
out new reforms.
Other organs inspired by Prince Bis
marck dilate on the theme that in the
generous Catholic inspiration for regu-
lated social reorganization that party is
working oB common ground with the
government, as the government g policy
is shown in the eInperor's recent utter
ances.
DIR. wINDTHoRsT' S TERMS
for alliance of the Center with
the government Places the school
question in the first rank and demands
the abolition of all restrictions on Catho-
lie direction of Catholic schools. The
Center party are confident that Prince
Bismarck will accede to their terms as
far as touches this particular demand.
Outside the Center party the opinion is
to the same effect, and we are perhaps
on the eve of witnessing one more con-
cession to papal power.
In addressing the council of state at the
close of to-day's session, the emperor
made a confession almost pathetic in ity
terms, and certainly so IN its tone,
as to how the supreme difficulties
OF THE SOCIAL PROBLEM
had unfolded themselves to him since he
had begun the attempt to reach practi-
cal soluti of them. He declared his
claims are not ideal. He did not hope
to discover some grand remedy for the
cure of all social evils. He desired rather
| and simply that a determined effort
should be made 10 find means TO satisfy
the legal demands and just wishes of the
working people. These words of
the emperor deeply impressed all
who heard them, and all unite
| in prasing the emperor s earnest assid-
| uity. When presiding at the sessions of
| the council or over committees he does
| everything to expedite business. He
draws up the lists of speakers and dis
charges the duties both OF presiden. and
secretary He worked yesterday eight
| hours continuously at the business of the
council of state and the conference. It

had been arranged. 81. Spuller, the
