PREMIER'S CHALLENGE.
pon Buelosc Defes Critics to Cite
Unconstitutional 4ct bg Kaiser.

Gan you tell me of single instance In which
O i-inpefor mas put himself in opposition TO the
constitution? do not think that Won can mention
single case. or that you will ever be able TO men
tion hereafter"
This challenge was delivered bv Prince Won Bu-
low Chancellor Of the German Empire during a
remarkable speech in the Reichstag at Berlin in
LeSPohse 10 attacks made by Socialist and ultra
FHduicai deputies upon the alleged absolutism of
the Kaiser Prince BuIows challenge has re-
nained unanswered, either in the imperial Parlia-
nleht or IN the German press Not even his most
oltter adversares have been able TO bring home
10 William II solitary instance of infraction of
the constitutions of the German Empire and of the
Kingdom OF Prussia
Now. the constitution of the empire of the
most hampering description, and leaves far less
authority 10 the Kaiser than the Constitution OF
the United States does to its President. Thus, the
Kaiser such has no right OF initiation in the
matter Of imperial legislation. Moreover. as En-
peror, he has veto, although he now practically
possesses one by the number of votes which he
controls in the Bundesrath Federal Council. the
votes being those Of the Kingdom of Prussia. and
Of certain other states which may be trusted to
with Prussia in every instance. The Kaiser
has not. however. always controlled the majority
of votes OF the federal council and occasionally
executive president OF the Germanic conteder-
alton, has had to proInulgate laws which. as King
of Prussia. he had previously opposed in the fed
eral council. For instance, the law locating the
supreme OF the empire at Leipstc, instead OF
at Berlin, bitterly opposed by Prussia, and
by its sovereign. who obliged 10 submit to the
wishes Of the majority Of other states of the con-
federation. Nor is it that the Kaiser has the
power to plunge his country into war BY the
terms OF the constitution, the Kaiser can act upon
his own initiative only IN repeltng actual hostile
invasion of German soil. In all other cases the
consent of the Bundesrath-that is. Of the council
OF allied sovereigns-is Indispensable, Ihe Elm
peror IS the executive officer of the Bundesrath
or council. and the state power of the German
Empire is centred not III him. but in it.
This may convey some faint idea until now
widely ignored, Of the limitations which the CON-
stitution Of the German Empire places upon the
Kaiser That his most bitter adversaries ana
savage critics should have been unable to take up
the challenge of the Chancellor and to cite a
single instance where the Kaiser during his reign
Of almost nineteen years has infringed the re
strictiors imposed upon him Emperor by the
constitution shows in conclusive fashion how
little justified of the attacks which are
made upon him, both in his own country and
abroad in connection with his alleged absoutsm
