The second attempt made t to life of tin emperor will Hun and he cruel wounds inflicted with a the aired Monarch who is shot gun upon tic embodiment in the eyes of his people of Tho National principle of German Unity May Well have Stai tied the world As to the True significance of an under current which is evidently a most dangerous ele ment in the political condition of modern Europe on the 11 the of last month a Young Man named if axles a native of it i pm fired at the emperor As his majesty was returning to the pal Ace from n drive in company with Tho grand of Baden. Neither of the shots for two were fired on that occasion took effect lace Del was immediately arrested and when examined he denied that he fired at the emperor do during that his object was to shoot him self in Pullio so As to show the Rich the present condition of Tho poor and whither it led. Socialist writings however were bund in his Possession and it is stated that lie formerly held socialist meetings in Leipsic. A supposed accomplice who was arrested at the same time was released when it was discovered that he. Had merely attempted to protect Ilfe Del from the violence of Tho crowd. Much sympathy with the emperor was Hyall class of subjects in Berlin and in the Empire generally and congratulatory telegrams poured in from foreign sovereigns and potentates. Nevertheless the attempt of hex Del the third of its kind caused a deep de and anxiety throughout Ger Many. Perhaps a livelier sympathy was expressed in England than in any other country there being Many reasons Why the indignation of All plates in great Bri Tain should he aroused by a crime of so dastardly a character. First of All the True Horn briton has a very proper detestation in any form and while Over willing to make one of a ring to ensure airplay for either nations or individuals ready to engage in a stand up fight to exhibits the utmost con tempt for the cowardly Assassin who settles accounts with the stiletto or wreaks his tongan cd with a Blunderbuss from behind a Stone Wall. But there Are Many other reasons Why such attempts As those of ire Del Ond Tabeling should deeply affect the. English nation. Tho relations Between the Royal families of the Mother country and of Germany Are already very close and they Are shortly to be knit still closer by the recent betrothal of Tho Duke of Connaught who is not unknown among canadians and the Princess Louise Margaret the Young est daughter of Prince Frederick will Iam Tho fed Prince of Prussia. The sympathy Willow Engleh speak ing people towards the German nation find towards its beloved Monarch does not however owe its whole strength to Royal alliances. All will have Tho respect for and appreciate the affection of the German people for the chief Soldier and Champion of German Unity and the emperor of Germany is deservedly popular his whole life having Lien devoted to the welfare of his people. Tho most serious aspect of these re cent attempts to take Tho life of the most popular Monarch in pm Ope save her Mosic gracious at a time when monarchy As a political Prin Ciple and the reigning european sover personally Are in no Disfavour i the apparent certainty of these acts be ing the results of a conspiracy of those declared enemies of society and civil government calling themselves Socia lists. The soil of Europe seems to be undermined by this dangerous foe. To Dav it is Gorman socialism which enters on the scene and attempts to strike a blow at society. In View of such at tempts Liberty itself is in danger As no one will Ever believe that Tho series of five acts of these wot lil to assassins is the work of individual scoundrels or Iso h us fools. Not Only is murder of this nature odious but it is intensely stupid. Did the first fanatic who attempted to kill an old Man and a woman not reflect that the vigorous Young Man who would succeed his fat Lief on the throne would be a still Nisi o formidable enemy to German socialism could any Man living in Germany be so obtuse As not to comprehend that Tho result of so villain Ous a crime if indeed the desired end were accomplished would be to surround Tho memory of Wilhelim with a Halo of sympathy that Render the cause he represented even stronger Ami Moio sacred rarely a the object of its agents though we Are constrained to admit that the act of Vera Sass Ulitch of the consequences of which she was acquitted by a jury bus no doubt been an exception to the Rule. Hut the system of the russian government has been called autocracy tempered by Assassin he Fute of Lincoln a no gain to the cause of Liberty but the contrary and the frequency of such acts in the Span Fth Ainer Ienn republics reminds us that the abolition of All monarchies and the substitution for them of republics would not rid us of the these odious acts. It is important however that we should co Sieler what Are tiie Aims of the socialists. Turn ii to much esteemed to introduce a new distribution of pro Perty and labor in which organized co operating rather than Competition Shouel be the nominative principle under the conviction that the Happi Ness of the race and especially of the classes without capital would be Bene filed thereby 1 in England we have seen at various epochs the development of socialism in cd Artura and Trade unionism in France in various labor combinations and in the out cropping of communism and in the United states we have to observed the criminal acts of the Molly Maguiree of the rioters at Pittsburg and of the communists at Chicago. It is objected to socialism under its various forms that it makes human happiness dependent on Materi Al gratifications j that it robs Man of that Energy which Springs from ambition that it a philosophically ignores an individualism Ami irregularity among men which no unbiased person can deny Tho existence of and that by the abolition of social rewards and punishments it neither holds out any Hope to the industrious nor excites any apprehension among the indolent. The socialists have in some instances pushed their so far As to advocate the abolition of Matrimony and the substitution of a Community of wives All children to be brought up and educated by the state at the Public expense. The recent spread of socialism in America is Attri buted to the propagandist of the inter nationalists who found in the new world a safer Field for the realization of their views than they could obtain in Europe. It is the habit among our american neighbors to give the utmost speculative License to extreme opinions but we have too much Faith in their Good sense and patriotism not to believe that when once they undertake the task they will scotch the at the same time we incline to the belief Taftt it will probably be found in the end that the institutions of Tho United states being founded on Universal suf Frage Are less rather than More fitted to repress attacks upon society As now established than Are our own. The acts in Berlin will prove a direct Hin Drance to the cruise of Liberty in Europe if no worse evil should result. It is per haps Well to explain in conclusion that there is a marked difference Between the dominant principles of the socialists and those of the nihilists a secret society Whoso ramifications have extended widely throughout Russia. The former have a certain scheme utopian though it May be called for the overturning and reorganization of the existing social fabric whereas the latter in despair of reforming the government under which they live entertain the purpose of utterly throwing Down All existing social in without having any plan what Ever prepared for their reorganization. The Earth air Ake in Caracas. A correspondent writing to a Friend in Montreal from Caracas. May 2nd, we had on the 12th april about 8.40 p. M., about As Lively a shake As a i want to experience.
