afresh to Schwen
inger's unsa-ory career. A more Ren-
ft;
orally offensive ami blatant man than
Schweninger probably does not live In
Germany. Ho was found utility, lout;
beforo Hlsmnrck knew hlin, of an
atrocious net in a public place. Ills
olTenco was against the widow of his
best friend; anil It was committed at
the grave to which she bad gone with
How era. Ills character, as well as his
reputation, was therefore a matter of
record whon Hlsmntck went to him to
have his Increasing weight reduced.
Schweninger reduced it. Just how
Schweninger Induced ltistnarck to for
get the past has not been made public;
at all events, he did wheedle him into
forgetting or forgiving It anil Into
making him, the despised and re
proached Schweninger, a regular pro
fessor in Merlin University.
The announcement of Schweninger's
appointment was the signal for a
llerce onslaught by the faculty ami the
Merlin press on both Histuarck and bis
protege. The professors protested
against being forced to associate with
a man of Schweninger's character.
They Interested Parliament In their
case against the intruder. The Prus
sian Minister of Public Instruction was
asked In Parliament to explain how a
man, convicted of tin atrocious act in
a public place, as Schweninger had
been, could be honored with a place
among the honorable men of the Mer
lin faculty; also, bow It was possible
that a man of such character could bo
elevated to a place of Inlluonce over the
German youth.
A person reading, even today, the
parliamentary record of this Interpel
lation and the answei, Is Impressed
with the apologetic humility, almost
shame, which was evident In Ilerr von
Gosalor's explanation. It was all true,
ho said. Schweninger had done the dis
graceful thing charged; the record of
his disgrace was to he found in Mu
nich's criminal court; but he had re
deemed himself by curing Mismarck of
fatness. For this great service his other
shortcomings should be overlooked.
So Schweninger's appointment was
maintained, despite the outcry of pro
fessors, editors and deputies, and he
was forced upon the Merlin faculty to
bo the nssocluto of men like Mommsen
and Helmhnltz. and Treltschko and
Scmoller. It is doubtful If Schwen
inger ever got any satisfaction out of
the storming and capture of the pro
fessor's chair. Ho was in the faculty,
to be sure, and Mismarck stood behind
him to prevent his being pushed out,
yet tho faculty did not turn out
to bo nil Schweninger bad hoped
to find It. Whichever way be
turned ho faced a social boy
cott. Ho called on professor after pro
fessor, as Is customary with a new
member of a German university fac
v'ty, and was roroUeil by each with
the coldest courtesy. Ills inquiry at
each house for tho women the pro
fessor's wife and daughters. was an
swered In every case with tho stony,
unadorned insult: "They are well, but
beg to bo excused."
I'mler these circumstances even tho
brazen face of Schweninger was down
cast. It is not known that he over
essayed another round of calls. It Is
print and out In a most preposterous
fashion. He told the newspaper; or
people who tell tho newspapers that
the Kniporor had Insulted Itlm by hav
ing only an ordinary cab at the station
to convey him, the only Schweninger,
to tlic castle, and by allowing the court
marshal or chamberlain to assign him
to a second or third-story room when
he should have been on the ground
floor rlnht uct to the Prince himself.
This seemed i pally to be one o( the
keen sorrows of Schweninger's late
ilus that anybody could Ignore eo
completely his great reputation, dig
nity, and deserts as to put him In a
cab and a bedroom oft the ground lloor.
Tho case of Franz von I.enbach
against Schweninger seems all the
ntoie discreditable since I.enbach
has been at Fiiodrlchsruh repeat
edly, painting Mismarck pictuics.
and usually has been counted a mem
ber of that curious family circle, In
which the Prince has held bis llitl"
court since his fall.
If anybody cares to learn more of
thl.? disagreeable subject, he may do so
by a moment's glance at Schweninger's
picture. Probably all Germany could bo
i-earohod without the discovery of an
other face which Is such an offence to
good taste and morality.

Its energy has been tempered with dis

of Its more Important labors has
strongly confirmed tills favorable Im

tho commission fully realizes Its re
