Onlj foielgn papci-s dare do it , mid If any

stolv .
TJiMimiek has not gouo willingly , hut has
In en foiceil against his will to resign the
ehiiom ellrship of the state ho served so well.
AVheu he came to the helm In Prussia in 1WW
the imwerof the ciown had never been so
limited 01 so meanly treated by pullamcntaiy
p.uties , especially the extreme right and the
extreme loft. Today the authoiity of the
cioun In 1'iussia rests upon a lock. It has
not been so represented , us it has been din
ing the icigiis of the hist thrco sovereigns ,
Him i the reign of I'lodc'iick , and that it Is so
icspci ted at this Unto is due , us It was then ,
to the genius of u single man.
Now every p.uty is by Itself
so weak that onlj by the couitesy of the
ciown and its friendship canithopotouohiovo
powoi Tlio fcir of dijplcasing the manure U
on the tin one Is so great that theio isnopossi-
biHlj of independent thought or uction on the
ptn t of any faction In either lauding on ciehs-
tag They aio none of thcmstiong enough to
tell the truth. They help to conceal the true
facts of the piesent situation.
The tiuth is that the kaisei'smind has been
piijmlkediij'uinst his faithful siMvant. Ho
lias been persuaded that ho can govcin better
without n chancellor. The kaiser began to
tiiat the piimo coollj soon after the lattct's
iitnin to lleilin This coolness increased
i.ipidl , mid Hnallv , witli his ehaiaiteiistlc
bhiiitness , the pi nice said :
Am 1 In jour uaj f
To the pi line's astonishmenl his majesty
guvc no positive denial on the spot , but
sei med Inclined to tempoii/e Then the
pnne intimated a willingness to suiiendcr
all bis olllics except the direction of foreign
alT.dis His majesty was \eiy willing to do
this but the veteran chancellor soon became
conv lined that u division of his functions at
this speiiul junituio would bo extremely
d.mgeious , and so suggested to the kaiser Ilio
expediency of postponing all action in the
m.itti r until tlio icichstag had eomo together ,
01 nutil midsummer , so that tlio chain ellor
might contiol the debates on the socialist
( jin stion , im teased estimates to be demanded
foi the mm } and an incie.iso of pay for gov-
cinmint oOlcnds m Geiimuij and especially
Piiihshi , the h.udist winking , best iufouiied ,
conscientious and icliablosct of ollleoholderb
in the woilil ,
I'p to about ten dajs ago the miangemciit
w as ngrejcahlo to the kaiser. Then he sent to
tlie piimoverlain onleis ho know tlio hitter
would Hither resign than execute. When the
piimo pic'seuted the matter anew to his
soveicign the oulors weio repeated with the
knowledge that the chancelloi's lesiguation
would follow The chancellor , though of
i cause greatly cxfitcd , kept his head and did
not semi hi his resignation at once His
majisty hecamo impatient mid the question
was seveial times put to the chancellor :
"Whj do } ou not send in jour resigna
tion' '
If the chancellor had continued to keep
cool he would have said :
" 1 do not ask it because I mn no eovv.ud , no
I'.dlstalT , toiun aw.iv from men in buckskin ,
to tuKo mj leave just as tlui socialists and the
stuKois begin to threaten "
Hut his inajest.vS resolution was not to bo
shal.cn As soon as ho thought ho could do
better without the chancellor ho uithdiow
from him Ho spoke to thu chancellor with
the greatest tiauhness , and managed ( o biiug
about scvei.it occasions , when ho thought ho
loulddoso , h } nllouing things to lie ilono
e.iU ulntod to piovoke an outburst from thu
ih.imillor. The latter , nuaro too Into
of how mallei's stood , sought to
u compromise by seeking leave cITcct
of absence ) for six months , but in vain. His
inajestj's mind was thinly made up The
Unlsei was tiled of the chancellor mid looked
foiwmd without regret to the time when
some natural causoor ciicumstances should
tcai him from his post of honor ho has hon

' 1 ho ihancellm's greatest fuciilty was
that of dlscc'itiing fur away different
dangerous clenioiit.s that might some dii.v , by
uniting , increase- ten fold their \onom mid
their strength. His tenderness Is great. His
family adore him , mid with rr-.isoii No ono
has cujoed social relations with him without
oxpetfencing Ilio magic chmm of his dignity ,
giaciousncss and kindness. I doubt If ho
cures for IKVVCIfor its own sake , but merely
for Its result to the king mid the country ho
loves , mid that If this icsull might bo
