Bad Enough.

BERLIN, February 27.-The impress
sion continues TO gain ground that the
troubles of Thursday and yesterday
were not entirely due to the Socialists,
nor to the resident workmen Of the city.
1t is, Of course, impossible in Berlin, as
in other places, TO conduct building op-
erations in cold weather and the result
is that thousands Of men have TO submit
TO long periods of enforced idleness.
The same conditions prevail in the
labor markets throughout Germany
with the result that large numbers OF
workingmen have 1ocked to the Capt.
tol where they found their position
worse than If they remained at home.
There is in Berlin certain class that
only want an opportunity to pillage, to
take advantage of it, and TO them can
be attributed much of the trouble that
has caused so much excitement here.
No doubt many workingmen, some Of
whom were socialists, took part in the
rioting, but IL is believed that when the
truth is known the rough and lawless
element will be mostly to blame for the
pillaging of shops, the breaking OF win
dows, and other acts OF disorder. 1t is
thought that one effect Of the demon
stration, however, will be that efforts
will be made TO furnish work TO the un
employed.
Already the Socialist members of the
municipal council have proposed that a
special meeting Of that body be
held to discuss an urgent motion that
employment should be found for the
needy by starting public works.
The action of the Emperor in making
his appearance yesterday when the
streets were filed with excited populace,
is highly commended. 1t is Certain that
he created a good impression on the
mob as he rode through the Inter Den
Linden. His majesty betrayed no con-
sciousness that he was in any danger OF
personal violence from his excited sub
iects. He rode along smoking a cigar
cite and conversing calmly with the
aide who accompanied him.
He was as cool and collected as though
no unusual event had taken place, and
he repeatedly touched his military cap
in response TO the "hochs" with which
he was greeted. The crowd was so
dense along the Emperor's route that
there was only narrow lane for the
horses to pass through, and the people
crowded close upon the animals heels.
Even the roughs were moved IN openly
expressed admiration for the perfect
sang froid of the Emperor.
The city to-day was far more tranquil
than it has been for two days past Up
to this hour 1890 o'clock there have
been no disorders. The authorities
have much better control and several
small gatherings were easily dispersed.
The streets are crowded but the people
are animated chiefly with curiosity to
look upon the destruction wrought by
the mobs. The police are vigilant and
though no further disturbances are an
ticipated. they keep the crowd moving
and will allow Of no holding Of meetings
on the streets.
Throughout the morning and early
part of the afternoon small gatherings
were continually forming on Unter Den
Linden and the square between the
Museum and Castle.
The police speedily dispersed the
meeting with no resistance TO speak Of
and prevented any obstruction to traffic.
