Berlin, Nov. 2-The reports Of the
Joint trial of the editors of the Vor-
waerts and Volksblatt on the charge
Of les majeste, have proved sensational
reading in some respects. 1t has been
shown. for instance, that Baron Won
Nirbach. a high court official, actually
visited Herr Singer to request him To
cease his attacks in the Vorwaerts on
the memory Of Emperor William l, and
in order TO induce him to stop his oppo-
sition to the emperor Frederick mem
orial church. II has likewise transpir-
d that Herr Swechten, the architect
y the church is. himself, guilty of plac-
ng the scurriIous inscription on the
building, which has attracted so much
attention.
These unpleasant reveal tons have led
even conservs tive papers like the
Deutsche Tales Zeitung to reproach the
court with want of tact.
Another feature Of the case was the
queer reasoning by which the presiding
Judge, who displayed throughout hos
tility to the prisoners, arrived at the
charge Of les ma este, his interpreta-
lion being quite opposed to many de-
>isions of the imperial supreme court
He laid it down that it was doubtless
IN view Of the inviolability Of the empe-
Or that nobody had a. right to say any
thing against the person of his ma jesty
This new rendering of les ma jeste has
been denounced by the whole of the
liberal and radical press as fallacious
and illegal. The case will be appealed
10 the supreme court, so far as the
vorwaerts is concerned. These pros
ecutionS have had the result Of pro-
voking still more singing retorts and
in scathing editorial on the trial the
Vorwaerts asked the emperor to define
whom he referred to in his recent ad-
dress as a gang" unworthy TO bear
the name Of Germans and added ironi-
cally, sit is only just to know" The
Vorwaerts will be prosecuted for pub
fishing this article and the government
is isueing new orders TO the olice TO
continue to make untiring warfare up
on the socialists and their press

Lloyd company will hereafter, If the
present orders are satisfactorily exc
