International Exhibition by Withdrawing

Ing the exhibition. bowed before the will OF
the majority. Herr Furth's resignation is
now credited to his having incurred the
Emperors disfavOr by com batting the
Schloss lottery scheme.
The Vossisehe Zeitung publishes an arti-
Gle protesting against the Emperor's sway
ing all the important affairs Of state. "The
Ministers slavishly ask" says the article,
mot what is best for the country but what
will please the Emperor, the Ministers hav-
ing no other ambition beyond carrying out
the vii! OF the crown. This hardly is en-
durable even in an autocratic State"
The article faithfully reflects the feeling
which pervades all classes. Though the en-
ergy and good intentions OF the Emperor
are appreciated, discomfort with his impe-
rious intermeddling prevails everywhere.
The instability in public affairs, the con-
slant changes, the frequent removals, and
the uncertain rolicy has aroused general
longing for a firm hand and answering
methods, even if they are sometimes op-
pressive, as under Bismarck.
Satisfactory assurances have already

About the time word was given to train
