peror's final rupture with the Chancellor.
The same article appeared slmulta-
neously in both newspapers. and bore
evidence of an inspiration straight from
the throne.
1T Is allowed us to c~ritlcise and
suggest" write the dutiful editors. but
the final decision rests with the powers
that be. Revolutionary countries may
do away with such regular system OF
government. 1t has been attempted and
even found successful. but in Germany
private interferences. contrary to the will
OF the Emperor, either In her home
or her foreign policy. will never be
tolerated. Finally. when in attempting
such interference. doubt is cast upon the
good intentions and the peaceable policy
of the Government. then not only is the
monarchial principle outraged. but a
grave offense against patriotism is COM
United. A conservative should always
hesitate to express opinions which might
have the effect of creating distrust be-
tween the people and their ruler"
With such Bismarckian ideas deeply
grounded in his mind; with his head
filled with half-digested schemes OF

BlSMARCK'S IRON WILL.
But he was not forced to fall back upon
sheer arbitrary authority to bring about
the end of the great Chancelior's de-
parture from power. He found In the

position that he desired. The secret
history Of all the preliminary conflicts
which led up to the final crash never has
been and perhaps never will be written.
The accounts even of the final rupture
itself are confused and conflicting. Ger
tain points and several details Of the
differences between the sovereign and
the Prime Minister stand out with sufti-
Gent clearness, and several of these
last were almost petty in character.
To begin with, over and above all
things there stands out the one primary
fact, that Bismarck was sacrificed to the
Emperor's vanity. to his immature
schemes OF ambition. to his passion for
personal rule. to his longing for glory.
to his sublime faith in his own all-sufic-
ing power Of insuring the good of the
country, which. for good or Ill, he had
resolved to govern alone and single
handed as absolute and sole tor of
its destinies. taking no advice save what
came from the all-suficient fountain OF
his own supernatural genius. The Eu-
ropean world did not know he had these

lowered above him and o~vershadowed
him. Therefore the obtrud.ng presence
must be removed; people must have a
clear, unobstructed view of the celestial
vision. 1t might dazzle them at first,
but their eyes would get used to II and
they would glorify 1t.
This was the one overshadowing in
fuence which led to Bismarck's retire
ment; all the reg: were mere incidents,
mere meanc to an end hat already had
been resolved upon. AS to the particu-
lar point on which the Emperor raised
the issue. as to one Of the principal
points, at least, there is no reason to
entertain any doubt. The Emperor
raised with the Chancellor the direct
issue OF Ministerial responsibility.

all the Ministers to report to Primo
