Bismarck is Still Popular.

A Berlin dispatch states that the DEM

BahnhOf is still the chief subject of con-
versation and press comments. The
oveTpOwering enthusiasm manifested al
the Princes reception has opened many
eyes to the unshaken hold that he still
maintains among the common people.
The revelation was all the more surpris-
ing because the high politicians here tried
hard to believe that the demonstrations
in Vienna and South Germany were got
up merely by malcontents and persons
wishing to protest against the policy OF
the new regime. The demonstration
here, however, was so spontaneous that
it could be explai.ie only on the assump-
ton that the people still loved their od
Chancellor. Bismarck mementoes have
been doomed into Unprecedented pOpu.
