As an illustration Of the ruling he said
that buckwheat -four mixed with corn
meal and wheat -four, and coffee mixed
with chicory could be sold as COM
pounds, but that no artificial jellies
colored TO initiate fruit iellies could be
sold under any circumstances

cR'rIc,s,no GERMAN PARTY.

Aaslish Writer Saws It Tried - Dslly
An Other NstionalisAss.
Inc German party while in power
tried to bully all the other nationals
Ties and to create the belief In the
mind OF the emperor that OF all the
races In the monarchy they were the
only loyal Austrians, says the Fort
nightly Review. But this trick also
was found out. The fact that after the
publication of Bismarck's secret Ger
mano-Russo treaty, which constituted
betrayal of his Austrian ally. the
Ieading paper Of the German party In
vienna became the mouthpiece Of Bis
marck contributed a great deal to open
tne eyes OF the emperor. A political
party In Austria whose conduct. II not
directed, is certainly prompted. BY
Prlnce Bismarck, could not be the
party In whose hands the Austrian
emperor might safely leave the govern
ment OF Austria. The duplicity OF that
German chancellor gave a great shock
to the Emperor Francis Joseph. How
could he trust political party In his
monarchy which still continued to look
to the author of that secret treaty as
their guiding star, and whose leading
newspaper was very frequently made
the favorite organ of the publication
OF Bismarck's ideas and views? The
German party (or. rather, parties) in
Austria have no political tact what
ever, and only the other day the lead
ing organ of the German party in
Vienna published letter from Berlin,
signed Th. M, but these initials were
explained SO clearly by the editor that
everybody knew the writer was Prof.
Theodor Mommsen, in Berlin. In this
letter the learned Prussian professor
advised the Germans in Austria first
to unite, and then to be firm. Czech
skulls, which were not open to reason,
were accessible to blows" Such a de-
fiant, insulting letter, from a foreigner.
German professor in Berlin, the prin-
cipal journal of the Austrian Germans
published and gloried in the advice
given by that highly cultured politi-
clan to break the skull of the Czechs.
