! Berlin, November 2G.-Emperor William
( has returned home TO find Germany in a
! seething political fermoD.. All classes oil
society seem perneated with the spirit Of
unrest and dissatisfaction. In Liberal and
radical circles there is a feeling that there
is 100 much OF the personal element in the
government OF The couatry, and that this
perscnai rule is doiag mueh mischief. This
feeling has found expression VA a stro1g ar

Such is the stormy sea of conflicting de-

government has to navigate during the
