THE GERMAN CRISIS.

The serious controversy between the German
Emperor and the Reichstag over the military
credits for the HOttentOt war which has cul-
minated in the dismissal Of the recalcltrant
Reichstag and the ordering Of new cleo
ton, was not unexpected. It was fOreshad-
owed some days ago. when Herr BebeI OF
the Socialist Left and Herr Roeren Of the
Catholic Centre, made a fierce attack upon the
government for the crueIties and corrIDtion
which, they asserted characterized the con-
duct Of that war, and for the savagerv. which
had marked German colonial administration
there and elsewhere. Horrible cases Of fogging.
muulation and murder, even wholesale butcberv
OF infants, were cited with elaborate details az
names, places and dates. The whole Left and
Centre and much of the Right listened svm-
pathetcally, and evidently believed the charges
which were made, while the reply Of Herr Dern-
burg the director Of the Colonial Department
was pretty generally regarded as unconvincfnc
II may be added that public opinion throughout
the empire in q large measure rallied to cbe
support Of the governments critics and made
II plain that further prosecution of the Hotten-
tot war or Of colonial enterprises would not he
countenanced unless there was a radical ref
ormation Of methods
II Is Of course, one thing TO arraign govern
ment officials for individual wrongdong. or
even for the maintenance OF a vicious system
aHu very different thing 10 refuse to vote sup
plies for the maintenance Of an army which is
actually in the field and prosecuting a war
The latter is. however. what the ReIchstag did
obviously. If that refusal were to stand the
army would have To be withdrawn from DANA
raIand and German Southwest Africa would
Pracuca4ly have TO be abandoned to the Hot
tthtots- That is something which the Emperor
c"uid not be expected to consider as within
ne limits of possibility After all the German
crItlcism and scorn which were heaped upon
treat Britain for finding the Boer war so diff
hcult and tedious problem, it would be sim
ply lntoierabe for Germany now TO confess her
self Beaten and driven out by the despised Hot

pie was Chcagos attitude toward the streetcar
companies of that city. The city had endured
shocking service until public indignation against
the companies could not be diverted. The cit
liens assumed finally an uncompromising atti-
tuie and they kept it. They determined never
again to leave the companies In uncontrolled
charge of the streetcar service, and refused re-
peated offers Of compromise. promising imme
diate betterment but not radical reform Spas
nlodc public opinion. however such as we have
exhibited in this city regarding police reform,
is the rule in this country. Reform movements
that are hopeful one year are forgotten the
next The fact is that Americans are a rather
apathetic people IF reform can be accom-
pIished at once public opinion will usually ac-
complish it. But if the abuse can put up
shadow of a legal claim to right of existence
the matter gets into the hands of the courts,
and in the slow processes of adjudication the
evil is forgotten. A few years later if the pub

years Yet, like Arnold's weary Iltan. the
empire must stagger on to the goal. no matter
how distant II may be-
We cannot wonder at the Emperors hotly
resentinp the action of the Relchstag which
to him must appear much Ike high treason.
nor is II at all surprising that he has taken
the extreme step of dissolving the Reichstag
and making an appeal TO the country. Yet
there NAV well be grave doubts as to the
temper of the new Rechstag. which will have
to be elected promptly and to assemble within
ninety days. The steady and rapid growth OF
the Socialist party has been the most marked
feature of German politics at election after
election At the present time that party is
stronger than ever before, and it has unques-
tionabIy struck popular chord in making its
attack upon the colonial policy of the govern
ment or upon the gross abuses Of that policy
which the majority OF Germans probably be-
Iieve to exist. 1t is a venturesome thing to
apneaI to the electorate on that issue at this
time and to ask the people to support the gov
ernment in war which has always been IN
popular and which has not yet been able to
show victorious results, and which. moreover, IL

directly provoked by the gross misconduct of
the governments own agents Yet such an ap-
peal is now made, the alternative to aban-
donment OF Southwest Africa.
