BERLIN. May a7.-The electoral out
look has considerably cleared since the
issue. by DIR. Lieber. of the manifesto
OF the center or catholic party. The
labored phraseology of the manifesto,
and its long winded sentences were not
calculated to impress the public and
have elected ridiculc from the press.
But the declaration did not fail to in
form the government of the price it must
pay for the support of the party in the
new reichstag. Behind the yerbiage
about intolerable military burdens i'm
posed by the empire. advice is given to
electors to take a decided position
against the army bill and the Huene
amendment to that measure.

a vigor and ility that make their future pos

whose present performance entities them TO
rank with the immorials. On the other hand,
we have LOST the physical presence of several
OF our immortals of the past. Walt whitman
has gone, Lowell has gone, Whittier
has gone--al during the latter half OF
Ihis decade They had done their work. they
had delivered their message. but we felt that
our literary glory among the nations was bull

among us In the flesb Who is there to take
their place? We have Bret Hare ind ed. and
Mark Twain, and Howells and Henry James.
These-with the one supreme exception of DR..
Oliver ". ndell Holmes, left the last leaf from
our original crown of laurels-these are our
greatest names. All OF them won their fame
before the present decade. II cannot be said
that they have ADDED materially to their own
glory or to the glory of American Literature
during the past ten years.

which Howells published IN 1885, is one of the
best OF American novels. So IL the princess
