The Inequality Of Germany's
Present Suffrage System
xIx.-THE GERMAN ADVANCE.

ID ERLIN. German. Aug 23.-The
most acute political quarrel in
- Germany is that occasioned by the
demand of the Socialists and Radicals
for reform of the Prussian electoral
system. Under this system the wealthy
classes are given absolute and complete
power to control the politics of the
kingdom, the three class suffrage laws
effectually preventing the possibility Of
a popular political victory. Although
the question is technically a Prussian
affair, the fact that Prussia is the larg-
est of the federated states, having more
than half both of area and population,
any governmental problem in Prussia is
essentially a German problem. The
Bundesrath or federal council, is DOM
mated absolutely by its Prussian mem
bers, and it prepares all the government
measures submitted to the Reichstag-

most important of all, the kaiser is only

exercises power vastly in excess of
that guaranteed to him by the federal
imperial constitution.

long history of the house Of Hohenzol-
lern had one of It's princes permitted
mere subjects thus to approach so
nearly to the royal presence IN anger.
But that Sunday the king must have
felt the Hohenzolern throne trembling

A man grows tired of having his
