An Interesting Incident in Germany.

According to a telegram from Berlin
Herr Won BENNIasEN. the chief of the
National-Liberals. and Herr Won BAMBER.
GER. the leader Of the Progresslsts. have
agreed to unite their forces in the Reichs.
tag. Since the dismissal OF BISMARCK
there has been no political event whose
consequences may be SO important to Ger.
many. It means the reconciliation OF the
old Liberal party. which was long dominant
In the Prussian Landtag. which controlled
federation. and which. for years after the
formation of the empire. returned to the
Reichstag majority over all competitors.
The history OF the Prussian Liberal party
which. after having been long split asunder
Is now to be reunited. Is inseparably con.
nected with the career OF BISMARCK. 1t
was the Prussian Liberals. then prepon-
derant In the Landtag. who during the
memorable years from 1862 to 1866 repeat.
eddy refused to make the appropriations de.
sired by BISMARCK. and thus compelled
him. as he alleged. to govern without a
budget. After the great victory at KONG.
gratz an act Of indemnity was passed. but
even then section Of the Liberals, includ-
ing Prof. VIRCHow, refused to condone the
arbitrary acts OF the Prime Minister. When.
however. the North German Confederation
was constructed. tho Liberals as q body
showed themselves inclined to support BIS.
MARcK In the North German Parliament,
partly on the score OF his patriotic services
and partly because he had become q con-
vert to free trade.
But after the forma ton OF the empire. 1t
became evident that BISMARCK. now be.
come Imperial Chancellor. cared much more
about the unity than the liberty Of Ger
many. and was determined not to accept
the principle Of Ministerial accountability
to the peoples representatives. which is
justly deemed the fundamental condition
Of Parliamentary government. The Pro-
gressists. therefore. constituting the left
wing OF the Liberals, adopted an attitude
OF avowed opposition except as regards the
Culturkampf. throughout which struggle
they heartily sustained the civil power.
The mass OF the Liberals. however. follow
ing Herr Won BENNIGsEN. while they con-
tinued to express regret at the Chancellor's
refusal to establish genuine Parliamentary
government. considered 1t their primary
duty to promote the consolidation OF tho
empire. . purpose to which their party
name OF National-Liberals bore witness.
For q time they were able to control up
ward Of 200 seats in the Reichstag. which.
1t will be remembered. contains 397 men,
bers. But the organization OF the Centre
party by WINDTHoRsT. and the vigorous
campaigns which he conducted. deprived
them OF many seats in North Germany, and
they were much more seriously weakened
by the eventual secession Of a consider
able fraction OF their number under Herr
BAMBKRaKR. who were indignant ct Bus
AARoK's reversion to . protectionist policy.

Tho Eternal Blair.

Brother MORGAN OF Alabama, one Of the
ablest Senators in Congress-. Is anxious to
ascertain why China did not want the
Hon. HENRY w. BLAIR at Pekln. 1t seems
to US that Mr.. MORGAN might just as we'll
spend his time in inqulring why the people
OF Connecticut object to the grip.
Excellent as are tho intentions Of Mr..
BLAIR OF New Hampshire. and marvellous as
idea Of appointing him to any diplomatic
post requiring responsible Judgment. .
knowledge Of human nature. and savoir-
fairish perception and discretion. was alb
surd to the border OF the grotesque. Good
nature never led an Executive into greater
bluHder than when Mr.. HARRISON sent Mr..
BLAIR's name to the Senate for Minister to
China. What Ia called the unwritten law Of
Senatorial courtesy never manifested more
conspicuously it's capacity for mischief than
when the Senate promptly confirmed Mr..
BLAIR, not because he was fit, but because
he had been Senator. The whole incident
was ridiculous enough to make the Granite
Hills shake with mirth.
But it was not on general grounds that
China declined to welcome Mr.. BLAIR.
Everybody knows W by he was not wanted
In the Middle Kingdom. The Chinese Gov
eminent had never heard OF Mr.. BLAIR, and
certainly was not prejudiced against that
gentleman as an Individual. until copy Of

ing extracts from Mr. BnA1R's speech COM
pairing the Chinese people to loathsome
and pestilential disease. to be Stunned and
shut out under the powers Of sanitary police
ohs A4l IN t. d. yra
because he had insulted China.
Then followed the long period during
which Mr.. BLAIR remained at Washington. a
Minister without mission. while he was try
ing to explain that his offensive expressions
with regard to the Chinese were prompted
by a warm affection and profound admira-
ton for that people. and while President
HARRISON was trying to discover some
other quarter Of the globe where Mr.. BLAIR
might possibly be acceptable as the diplo-
matte representative Of this Government.
Both efforts were alike unsuccessful. and
Mr.. BLAIR's resignation put an end to his
own misery and relieved the President
from an embarrassing position.
Why does Mr.. MORGAN want to revive In
q serious way an incident long ago en-
balmed in the chronologies Of the comic al
manacs We do not believe that Mr.. NOR
GAN desires any such thing. He Is too sem
sible statesman and too good a man of
the world. But Mr.. MORGAN. like Gen.
HARRISON. yields occasionally to the soft
impulses Of good nature. We suspect that
II. he were pushed hard for the truth he
would confess that his resolution calling for
copies of the correspon dence with the Chi
nese Government relating to the Monaco
ceptance Of HENRY W. BLAIR as United
States Minister to China. was introduced
by request"

and who considered that Herr voN BENNIo-
sen had gone too far in his concessions to
the Chancellor.
Ultimately the followers Of BAMBERaKR.
who at first were known as Secessionists.
coalesced with the Progressists under the
name OF the Freisinni0e party. or. as they
were sometimes called. the New German
Liberals. At the last general election this
party carried &C. seats. whereas the National
Liberals. who had been rapidly dwindling.
could retain only 4s. 1t follows that by the
fusion now arranged. the partisans Of Won
BENNIasEN and BAMBERaER will collectively
muster 100. thus forming the second
strongest party In the Reichstag. the
Centre or Catholic party outnumbering
them by only votes. The remaining III
seats In the lower House Of the Imperial
Parliament are distributed among the old
fashioned Conservatives. the Imperialists
or Free Conservatives. the Socialists. the
Poles. the Alsace- Lorrainers. and the
Danes. The voting strength. however. OF
the reunited Liberal party Is not to be
measured by the number OF their repre-
sentatives In the present Parliament At
the last election many seats were gained
by the Centre party In North Germany be-
C0u6o LHo NatiOnal.LiD anu ETOBTeb6.
lists ran opposing candidates. Now. how
ever. II the union concerted by Won BEN
NrasEN and BAMBERaER is permanent. the
Liberals can count upon constituting the
most powerful party In the next Reichstag.
though 1t is doubtful whether they can
repeat the success achieved twenty years
ago. and obtain a majority over all other
parties combined.
The fusion OF all German Liberals In .
single political body has undoubtedly been
caused by the School bill. now pending In
the Prussian Landtag. which has aroused
the whole Of Protestant and free-thinkinR
Germany against the Catholics. Should
this bill be passed, It will not only wipe out
the last vestiges Of the FALK laws. but place
Prussian Catholics In better position than
they occupied before thee began.
Inasmuch. however. as the bill has already
excited vehement opposition within the
Prussian Cabinet itself. its passage may be
doubtful. Self-willed as the young Emperor
may be. he may hesitate to force through
measure whose introduction has united all
the Prussian Liberals against him.

Nerve and Luck of a Daring Bear in

Nerve and Luck of q Daring Bear in
the Chicago Wheat Pit.
From the Chicago Daily Inter Ocean.
Ed Partridge the bear speoulator, is
without doubt the heaviest trader on the
short side that the world has ever seen. He
is persistent bear on wheat and has stayed
on that side when all the rest of the speculat-
ors were bullish and waiting to scare him
into covering his shorts. There have been
times OF late when 1t required nerve and
money TO stand short but he had both, and
has been nearer right on the speculative
situation than any other trader. and at the
same time bet his money freely. There
have been times when his limo ran up in the
millions, when an advance of l cent would
mean the loss Of a fortune. The situation
has been such, however,, that by holding on
things come his way and he got out all
right.
The wheat market has suffered of late by
the belief that there is too much wheat in
the country, This opinion was greatly in
creased by the pubication Of the govern
ment crop report on Thursday, showing re-

are said to be the foreigners. and they are

his shorts at big profit. Every day the

WASHINGTON, April The resolutions
on the silver question offered yesterday by
Mr.. Morgan having been laid before the

After the transaction OF the regular
morning business the Indian appropriation
bill was taken up and the senators had an
opportunity of offering amendments to it.
THE INDIAN COMMISSIONER CRITICISED.
An amendment offered by Mr.. Villas to
increase the appropriation for an Indian
school led to a discussion in which Mr.. Alh-
son, chairman Of the COMMITTEES on appro-
priations, criticised the Indian commissioner
for writing long supplementary letters to
senators, favoring increased appropria-
tions, instead of recommending them
to the committee The school
at Lawrence, Kan, was, a case in
point, the commissioner having written
letter TO Mr.. Perkins fsvoring an increase
from SIS, 900 to S125, 600 IL had been dis
covered by the committee on appropria-
tions that $l5,0 900 OF that anpunt expressed
in the estimate as for lighthouses" was
actually for the erection Of residence for
the superintendent and some teachers, and
that s., 900 was for an electric plant Mr..
Allison added that he did not like the
methods Of the Indian commissioner.
Finally the bin was reported to the SEN
ate from the committee OF the whole.
Mr.. Dawes moved TO strike out of the bill
the provision for the assignment OF army
officers to the duties Of Indian agents, and
consented that that motion should go over
until Monday.
The Senate at $40 O'Clock. after short
executive session, adjourned until Monday
