Emperor. The reason of this will he evident
when II is stated that that partner is the famous
or notorious Prince Alloys Liechtensiein, Of
all mon one OF the most offensive to Francis
Joseph. II was TO rebuke that intriguing noble
man. and to thwart. If possible, his ambitious
schemes, that the Emperor made IN. vienna what
was little less than a coup detat 1t Is more
over the Princes participation IN the antl-Jew-
ish campaign which gives to the latter its most
serious aspect. With no one but DR.. Lueger at
its head the movement would have been con
fined TO Vienna and would have had the sup
mort of few besides motley combination OF
Socialists Democrats and extreme Clericals.
BIT the leadership of Prince Alloys has made it
national in scope. and rallied to 1t considerable
norton Of the arstocracy
Notbing could be more incongrriouS than such
an alliance. for there are not two other men IN
all the Empire more unlike each other, in most
rosnects than these. The one Is an aristocrat,
belonging 10 one Of the most eminent and an
cient families Of the Empire the other man
of the people" and Of the very common people,
who can probably not tell the name Of his grand
father The one IS enormously wealthy; the
othcr was brought up by charity and to-day is
almost pcnnlcss. The one, moreover. Is perhaps
the uclicst-lool,ng and worst-tempered man IN

Clericals. and finally broke with them, because
they disapprovcd Of his marrying divorced
woman The Doctor. on his side, began as Il
fierce Clerical. then became n Democrat. then Il
Labor party leader, and finally an Anti-Semie'
in which last capacity he has all the MOB OF
Vienna at his back.
For five years now, these precious fellows
have been working together One furnishes
money and social prestige, the other the dema-
gopv necessary TO win the support Of the mob
They both are powerful orators and debaters
Together, therefore, they make a formidable
combination The Prince addresses himself to
the country. to the landed arstocracy and gen
fry. TO whom the name Of Llechtensten, despite
the bots upon 1t. is still a talisman. HIS ann
for himself, is to become Prime Minister Inc
Doctor devo,es his attentions to the masses OF
Vienna and his aim is to become Burgomas'er
or Mayor, Of that city. Both have gone so lar
AS 10 utter threats against the integrity OF the
Empire. Such threats are not altogether empty
either: seeing that the union between Austria
and Hungary. Sc far as the great agreement
OF 1867 is concerned. will presently come up for
renewal The struggle over DR.. Lueger has been
transferred from Vienna TO the Reichsrath. II
