— TWENTY—FIRST YEAR. THEY ARE WARM FRIENDS NOW! | President Herrison and Eepator Cullom Canvase the Political Situation.

Wismxeros Braeav or tne Bre, 518 FornRTerxTn STRLET, Wasmxarox, D. C., April 8. Senator Cullom grasped the havd of Presi- dent Harrison vesterdayr for the first time in | four months. Many things which were of | mutusl interest 1o them both hed bappeaed | in those four months ana vet they had failed to meet. Secretary Blaine's lotter of with- drawsl from the presidentiul fieid ind made the sonator an avowed candidste, and had materially changed the president’s prospects for revomination. More recentiy tne letter of Senator Cullom withdrawing from the presidential list nad removed what Mr Harrison's friends regard as the last obsta. cle in the way of bis renomination. While these things were happening the president &nd the senator saw nothing of each pther, and the failure 10 get together bezan 10 be so marked that itled to the be- lief that the rival prosidential canaidates hiad straived the relations between them. It buppencd thet when tuey finally grasped hands vesterday two otber ex-presidential candidates were present, one being Secretary Bluipe and the other Senator Allison. Oue of the callers remarkea: “Uf we only had Alger bere we might avoid the necessity of the Minnoapolis conveution.” 1t was a mere coincidence that tho three ex-candidates came together at the sume time to see the surviving candiostes, ana while they had not come with any purposc of alove feast, the situation was such thatit was impossibie to avold good natured refer- ence to the harmony which mutual couces. #1008 hua brought about. 1t was noticeabic thut President Hurrison did mostot the smiling, 6s was to be expected under the cir cumstances. The president took oceasion 1o thank Senator Cullom for the graceful way in which the latter bad spoken of the satis- factory munner in which the pres: dent had administered to the country and his party. Senator Allison remarked that there was such &n cpidemic of letters that be might write ope bimself, but as his presi- dential candidacy bud not boomed very much of late he feared the letter wight be & gratuitous contribution.

Ttuler One of the [ Copyrighted 1692 by James Gordom Bannett | Bexuix, April 3.— | New York Herald Cable pecial to Tur Bes. - To understund the true significance ot the latest political devel- opments in Germany, two things arc neces. sary—first, cavdor; next, coolness. It is 8s easy 10 exaggerate #s 1o underestimate the importance of the receat riots, the reverse of the government, and the withdrawal of the educational bill. If we believed but balf re- ports which have been published, we might suppose that revolution st0od and waited at the gates of the Reichstag, 1f we listened to the optimistic talk of the ministerialists, we might fancy ail was well in Vaterland, Botn conclusions would be foolish. The truth lics somewhere midway between optimism and pessimism. While the situa- tion is cisquieting it has not yet become 50 aangerous. That the prestige and potency of the existing system m Prussia have been affected by the events of the last few weeks is unguestionable, but we are not on the brink of & political catastrophie. Socialism may have to wait some time vet before it will unsettio the foundation of the empire. On the surface all is peaceful. The kaiser rides and drives about s usual. Politiciaus sull talk and wrangle, the stroets are filied with life aud bustling busivess. But if we look below the surfuce we find more than ope cause for uneasiness. The growth and strength of the social democrats, uncertainty resulting from the peculiarities of the young Kuiser, the increasing cost of 100d and rents in Berlin, prevailing distress amore the working classes and the ominous revival of the Jewish question are facts which would tex the resources of even & stronger states: man than Count Caprivi and the new Prussisn premier, Eulenburg. Some Very Disquieting Symptom, Lastly, perbaps chiefly, it is impossible not 10 bostruck by the amazing chanre which has come over the talk and bearing of Ber- liners of all classes, us shown by the irrev- erence with which they trout their rulers, b thelightness with which they discuss the pub- lic specches of their sovereign, by the bold- ness with which eve bstag me like Licvknecht and Bebel now express thei views and aspirations. As on example of thesc now and startling £ymptoms one might 1ake Liebknecht's recent denunciation of the seizure of Alsace aud Lorraine, tue fiooding of tho book stalls with socialistic papers, satirical political pumphlets, and the serio- comic speech delivered by Haus von Bulow the other night at the Philharmonic concert. Au English tourist who lost nis way iu one of the side streots last woek askod @ police- man the way to Brandenvurger thor. “Bran- denburger thor,” answered the policeman, “Ob, he 1s at Hubertusstock.”” By referring to the dictionary you will sce the doubie meaning of this deplorable wit- ticism. Unlige other stories we hear abeut Berlin, this is true. The tevdency 10 shrug shoulders &nd bite thumbs at the government is visibleon all sides. 1t is accompanied by considerable irritation at the kuiser's restlessness, by o very deep, though for the present harmiess, disconte amoug the peovle. Willinm Gets Little Help. 1 may add that the unmistakutle wish of Wiltelm to furtber the welfare of his suo- joets hardly meets with honest recogmition. The so-called “arbesiter-schultz-gezets,” or law for the protection of the working people for iustance which has just taken eficet, is sncered st by the social democrats and by most of the workingwen, yet so tar as that goes it is liberal and should chanpe tne orthodox social democrats who traived in the schbool of Beibel avd Liebkueent, still velieve in the efficacy of electoral metbods. The young or independ- ent socialists who have broken loose from their jormer leagers und bave formed & uew party, inspirea by Dr. Bruno with others, repudiate the parliamentary methods and advocate strikes, boycots, abstention from the votung urus, &na hint &t violence. They thus foliow in the steps of the French, and bave aisapproved o most useful measure, which a few vears since woule have been hauiled witn joy 80a gratitude by the frei nege or liverals, and the working folk, wio vote us they sdvise, have frankly udmitted the valuc of the law. Not &0 tne greater mass, which swears by Bebel. Tue Germ: socialists reject 1he reforms in princip They aun not at reform, but at more sweep- ing auarchy.

According 1o the Hamburger Nuchricbtes, which 15 supposed 1o refiect the views of Prince Bismarck, he is inclined to liberalism. Little is known of the Prussian prewier’s real purpose, However liveral te may be, it is clear Irom the bluntness with which be apnounced the withdrawel of th educstional bill that beis wot exactly con cilisting 1b choracter. Contrary to the belief of some foreign papers, the Tesiguation of Caprivi and Zed- was unexpected by the kaiser. It is equally certain that a parbumentary majority infavor of the measure was assured, The kuiser's change of front wus due, not1o & foar that the bill could not be passed, but to the knowledge that public opinlon iu out- side purlismentary vircles was strougly hos- tile to the measure. 1u the admission of this fuct lies the enormo uificance of Lhe new departure.
