THE VICTORY OF THE KAISER.

HO AY THE GERAIAXS “CAAIE TO

HEEL.’

Britannicus in -the “Fortnightly Review” describes liow tlie German people have come to heel. H says:

After two years of a Kaiser all discretion and reserve, self-suppressed to the point- of platitude, ostentatiously Constitutional and commonplace, the German people and German Reichstag clamored for the return of their old, enlivening, tangential Sovereign. They swallowed at a, gulp all the proud words, the defiant harangues, of two years ago. They expunged the assurances and guarantee® that Prince Bukov bad bequeathed to them as a hrid'e upon the Kaiser s disturbing interventions. Tliev tendered to him instead what was scarcely less than a national petition for pardon, coupled with an expression of the sineerest contrition. And the- Kaiser graciously and indulgently listened to their pleadings. AA it-h an exquisite appreciation 'of tlie situation he defied tlie Reds, forgave the rest, and proclaimed his willingness to lie himself again, in the single word “Konigsberg. So ends, for the time being at any rate, tlie crisis that a little more than two years ago shook the German Empire to its depths, and was supposed to mark a turning-point in Constitutcnal development.
