CHARACTER OF WILLIAM III.

No survey of German politics would
be complete that ignored the political
role played by the emperor, says
William G. Dreher in the Atlantic,
since he is the foremost politician of
Germany, and is more upon the stage
than any other. The successes OF the
emperor as a politician, however.
were not very great during the past
year, In the case of the Anti-strike
bill and the canal bill he suffered two
humiliating defeats, having thrown
his influence openly and vigorously in
favor of both measures. The bearing
OF the emperor upon the defeat of the
canal bill affords a luminous view OF
his character as monarch. In pub
lic and in private he had evinced his
deep interest in the success OF the
measure. and had even caused the
threat TO be conveyed to such mem
bers OF the diet as held political Offices,
that they should be placed upon the
retired list If they voted against the
canal; through the chancellor he
clearly foreshadowed the dissolution
rejected, and the threatened dissolu-
ton did not follow. Why? The en-
peror Is mixed character. contrary
currents show themselves in him.
Along with his undoubtedly genuine
Interest in the economic progress OF
Germany. he Is filled with the ambi-
ton to resuscitate an idea OF mon
a wi oh
carded. He openly proclaims him
self monarch by the grace OF God
alone. responsible to God alone, and
knowing no mundane responsibility.
The conservatives-mo exactly the
landed aristOcracy--are the only ele-
ment OF the people in which such ideas
find any favor at alt; the liberal and
other bourgeois parties incline more
to English ideas Of monarchy. Now,
to have dissolved Lne diet and appeal
ed to the country to help him crush
the reactlonary enemies of the canal
would have meant sharp break with
all the traditions OF the Hohenzollern
line. II would have amounted TO turn
ing down the aristocracy, and the
HHbfllhk al WI liUtfdl regime
in Prussia; but 1t would also have
been equivalent to an abandonment of
the more absolutistic pretensions OF
the monarch. The aristocratic enemies
of the canal calculated that the en-
peror was not the man TO inaugurate
such a revolution; and the result
shows that they gagged him correctly.
The emperor contented himself, az
best he could. with disciplining the
political officials who voted against
the canal.-and that was all. In view
Of this incident, together with the
emphatic rejection OF the anti-strIke
bill by the reichstag. II must be ad
mitted that the prestige OF the EN-
peror as the political leader OF Ger
many was not increased in 1899. The
progressive people OF the country
have seen that his interest In the eco
monte development OF Germany. how
ever sincere 1t may be, takes second
place to a higher terest.--william C.
