would. at best, be hazardous.
At the same time it must not De con-

1t will not be surprising to learn that the
defeat of the antl-revolution bill creates
vacancy in the RUSSIAN councli vi inini'
ters.
mo one is inclined to believe that
either the kaiser, who, it is reported, hau
a good opinion of Won koeller, or IMAM
cellor Won Hohenlohe is edited at the
performance Of the minister OF the interl-
or, who, the Vorwaerts says, deserves an
honorary membership in the SOCIALIST
party of the interior. That no result was
obtained is, in the first place, OWING to
the fact that the champions OF rellglon'
morality and social order have been un-
able to subordinate their own wishes to
the general good. Attention must also
be drawn to the breach in the government
center, which doubtless exercised an in
fuence in the development of the situa-
ton. 1t may be taken for granted that
tn failure of the attempt to combat the
subversive tendencies in the basis OF
common law will be followed by renewed
demands for exceptional legislation.
There is scarcely word of disappolnt-
ment in the press. The Radical and So
cialist organs are highly delighted.
The Times in leader this morning
saws: "The decision is a serious one,
and perhaps the most serious feature is
with some of the most important classes
of the state. 1t is an unrnistakable re-
buff to the policy proclaimed by the
kaiser himself in his famous speech at
Koenigsburg last September. That result
will be welcomed by large number OF
his subjects. That is not very satisfac-
tory end to the several months parlia-
mentary warfare. United. the forces of
religion, morality and social order could
have carried the day, but the one thing
which in Germany these forces cannot do
is to unite. They did not care for one
part of the bills, the Center did not care
FOR the other. They could have carried
the bills as whole had they come to
terms, but apparently they did not trust
each other well enough to make an effect
i've bargain"
The Standard in leader says: ut is
the impression abroad that the bill was
framed and introduced without sufficient
forethought and defended with made
quate vgor. Taunts rather than argu-
ments seem to have been the weapons
used. The crown is visibly worsted in a
struggle of its own choosing, with the
country's S representatives. The German
emperor has more than once appealed to
his people to trust him. May not the
Germans say in turn that they deserve to
be trusted by the Emerpor? With this or
that reichstag a ruler can afford to differ,
but he cannot safely quarrel with the
sentiments and ideas OF the nation at
large.i
