arise why the recipients were not honored in

Sir: Let say this in regard TO the question
whether not it would be well to alter the cor

should be appointed TO hold office during good be-

suant to the resolutions Of the Constitutional Con-

Baron Feiervary has put his hand to the
plough and will not turn back nor look back.
The Magyars are raging against him for his
universal suffrage proposals. but he persists in
them and will drive them through with whip
and spur. Logic is on his side. The Hun
garian demand is for popular rule. Then, re-
plies the grim old Minister. let all the people
rule There is. he holds. no more reason why
slovak and Croat should be dominated by
Magyar than why Magyar should be dominated
by German So he will first restore order, with
an iron hand and then dissolve Parliament and
elect a new House of Representatives on the
basis of secret universal suffrage. That will
mean a new era for Hungary, and, despite the
forebodings of the Magyar aristocrats, there is
reason to believe it will be a better era.
