Dr. Leonhsrdt left the impression, in short, which use quite expected, that the Government was not quitesound on the question.

I have more than once alluded to the inconsistency of a State which supresses one sort of Socialism by force and encourages the teaching of another sort from the priVi- leged chairs of the Universities. But there is only a single step between Pm- fessor Wagner and Hart Liehknecht. The former has the advantage of posi-o tion, the latter of honesty and brains. Of the two the Leipsic agitator deserves rather the more respect, for the main- ‘ tenance and advocacy of his opinions, deplorable though they be, has cost him sacrifices which a generous mind cannot fail to appreciate. He even resisted the blandishments of that very Government to which \Vagner owes so much encour- agement. The movement in favor of protection, the proposed tobacco men'- opoly, the public endowment of labor experiments, and most recent of all, the agitation for n renewal of the usury laws â€"what are these but mew-urea or plans, which are logimlly deduced from the wild theories of the Social Democrats? The German Emperor and En press made their solemn entry into Berlin on Thursday afternoon. The streets thre’ which the cortege passed were filled with dense crowds, who gave their Majesties- an enthusiastic reception. The public corporations and trade asso- ciations marched in procession past the palace, where the Emperor and Empress appeared on the balcony in response to the acclamations of the people. At ' night the illuminationa were unusually 1 general. At many points electric lights ‘ were displayed. The Emperor appeared to be gratified by what he witnessed, and the people were no less gratified to see him improved in physical appear- ance. Uliicial decmes were issued an nouncing that his Majesty had resumed the direction of ‘ public afi‘airs. In no. couianee with the extraordinary mea~ sures put into force in Berlin last week, about forty socialists were expelled, among them being two deputies. The expelled Socialists afterwards issued a manifesto in which they denied the truth of the charges advanced against them, and protested that public order and peace were in nowise endangered by their presence in Berlin. The man- ifesto has been seized and suppressed by the police. OUR EUROPEAN LETTER. Baum, Dec. 10th, 1878.

They found T’Kindt guilty of 149 acts of theft, by seven votw against five. M. Fortamps, the governor of the bank, was found guilty of reapm'chnsing the shares of the bank. TKindt was sentenced to fifteen years solitary confinement, and Fortampe to one years' imprisonment and a fine of 6.000 francs. big price, so that of course the State must interfere and fix the rate of in» tenet arbitrarily by law. These are some of the demands which are now put upon the Government, and which it is understood that the Government is quite willing, in part at least, to sat- isfy. The Government, in short, does not deny that it has the right, the duty and the power to redress the natural inequalities of Society. And it is still stranger that even the men who pass l for the most determined enemies of 1 these particular schemes are such only ‘ from practical expediency, not from any original hostility to the principle of them all. They say that Protection is eeonomically'nnwise, that usury laws cannot be enforced, that Silesian mines will thrive best without legislative as- sistanoe, and their reasoning is of course perfectly correct so far as it goes ; but they fail to look at the political side of the matter, and to see that all these cries for help proceed from a false theory of the true nature and mission of the State. They overlook the fact that if society is to interfere in behalf of cer. tain classes the constituents of Herr Bebel are just as much entitled to com- plain and to have their complaints con- sidered, as those of Herr Schoslemer or Herr von Kardorfi. They have even as much right to defend their own plan of relief if they do so peacably and within the forms of law. Germany will never get rid of Social Democracy until a sound theory of the State in general displeases . that essentially Socialistic one which is now in the very flesh and blood of the nation.

Next day he took out a Warrant for them, but when he and the policeman arrived at the factory where the girls worked it was found t‘llt the biting one had just had the third finger of her right hand taken of by a machine. “ The policeman was dismissed, for the old man percfived in this envious coincidence that the finger ; offlod had been lsid in punishment 1Mien the principal oflender." > \ All Account.
