ing renewed proof that the party is d.
vcsting itself of its revolutionary
character. and becoming more legal and
constitutional in its method while the
prudent and cautious attitude of its lead
Crs is depriving the government of all pre-
texts for cocrcng. For instance Herr
Schippel in his speech yesterday on Herr

because the socialist member of the

Herr Schippcl cOntendea that the mo-

though it would like to abolish standing
armies, it can not do this and that there

Several members of the congress pro-
