II is gratifying to observe that the

to-day. Christian contact with if1e' In

tice of the hour. Materialism and
atheism are met kindly but boldly in
their own fields, as David met the gas

GERMAN SOCIALISM.
Origin and Growth OF This Powerful
Movement.

Origin and Growth OF This Powerful
Movement.
German socialism dates back to 1910
with the accession of the romantic
Frederick William Nv. to the throne.
The social democracy owes its strength
to the labors of Marx, although Lasalle
was the originator of the idea. In 1864
there were only 4,6l0 socialists. In 1871
they cast in Berlin 6,695 votes; in 1878,
57,511 In 1884, in the elections to the
Reichstag, the socialists polled 100000
votes and returned twenty-four MEM
bers.
Bismarck originated his anti-socialist
legislation in 1878. The progress OF
socialistic ideas, not only among the
masses, but through the universities,
had become very marked, and the Iron
Chancellor professed to be greatly
alarmed as to the outcome of the move
ment When in that year Hoedel and
Modelling made an attempt to take the
life of the aged emperor the govern
ment made it the excuse for Legislation.
At first the law was directed only
against the propaganda of socialism,
and under it more than fifty newspa-
pers were seized. But the law was
gradually extended until the expression
of socialistic opinions, the holding OF
meetings or the oral discussion of mat
tiers pertaining to it either in private or
public, were prohibited. In short, about
the only political right and possession
that were not taken from the socialist
was his vote. These laws, however,
were not permanent, but had to be re-
newed from session to session. In 1890
bismarck conceived the plan of making
them permanent, and to give the police
administration the power to expel so
cialist from the empire at its pleasure.
Surprisingly, though the government
was largely in the ascendency in the
Reichstag. the bill was overwhelmingly
defeated and Bismarck received his first
crushing blow The decision of the
Reichstag was rcaffirmed by the coun-
try. and Bismarck's anti-socialist law,
instead of becoming a part of the per-
manent law of the country, was al
lowed, with the consent of Emperor
William, to expire.
In 1871 there were 4,565 dwellings In
Berlin that contained no room thai
could be heated: 1882 lived under
ground in cellar dwellings,: 95,423 PEG
ple had only one room that could b
heated. In the poorer districts there
were 20 removals to 100 dwellings. The
great increase since then in the manu-
featuring element has swollen this pro
portion.-Boston Journal.
