lung declares that foreign affairs are
taking a gravely disquieting turn. and
expresses regret that Bismarck no
longer conducts imperial affairs. The
Post, in semi-official article, replies
that Germany can exist without Bis
marck,and that the governments policy
has proved dignified and in every way
calculated to promote a permanent
peace. The meeting of socialists at
Dresden, which was called to consider
how to oppose the threatened general
anti-Strike union of employers, has re-
jected a proposal to replace the local
associations with universal workmen'S
association, controlled by centralized
executive. The same question will
come up in the socialist congress at
Halle. The
Group of Berlin Socialists,
headed by Bruno Willie. energies the
opposition to the chief representatives
of parliamentary socialism. Herr Won
GriIlenberger, speaking at Nuremberg,
referred to the Willie association as
seeking popularity through the cal

said that no divergence existed among
genuine socialist leaders. The infamous
reports aiming at the disruption of the
party emanated from group in Berlin,
where among three socialists one could
be counted as an agent pIovocateur.

plainly suggested that if Herr Willie

Great Britain to establishthe Suez high

British Royal Niger company control

The Soudan states are rather within
British influence than French. An in
teresting fact about these arrangements
is that the natives are not consulted,i
even when they have ancient and fairly
civilized governments, like madagascar
and SokOtO, and BOrgu. The natives.

have never seen a European, are dubbed
rebels if they fail to recognize their

accounts are true. before the whites
establish unquestioned supremacy. The
powerful nation of Matabeles in South
Africa arc with difficulty restrained by
their king, Lobengula. from hostile re-

toward their territories. When an En-
glish emissary told IobengUla, in the
presence OF his chieftains, that, If an
Englislfman should he slain. another
would spring up for every drop of blood.
the chieftains only said: "Eet us kill

suaded them, and remains apparently
friendly with the Europeans, while at
the same time refusing to retain for
himself any present from the British.
News may arrive at any moment that
Lobenguia has failed to restrain the I'M

English Criminals Successfully
Work the Insanity Dodge.
Whether it is growing feeling against
capital punishment or not, English
jurieS are returning an extraordinary
number of verdicts of acQuttal on the
ground of insanity. The latest to go
free of the galloWS in this state are the
unhappy druggist, Cakes, and his wife,
who poisoned themselves and their sou,
the son alone dying from the strychnine
administered. Cakes was driven to
desperation by want of employment.
A woman at Liverpool, who killed sew
eral of her children, has also been pro-
nounced insane, and the case of a col
lier. who compelled his wife to shoot
and murder the proprietor OF a colliery,
whose domestic she had formerly been,
and who is alleged to have taken adj
vantage Of her, the jury acquitted the
husband on the ground Of insanity, and
the wife as acting under the
husbands compuision. AS rule, En-

nearly proved fatal. The prisoner.

previous to his homicidal attempt, and
the young woman, upon the witness
stand, acknowledged her willingness
to marry him. All these ostOuched the
hearts of judge and jury, that, although
he was found guilty, he was recon-
