The Berlin Boersen Courier, a liberal organ, now taken up the tale. It has jast discovered that. the principle of universal suffrage has foes in the empire.

The Colnische Volks Zeitung, a mouth-plece of the Rhensch Catholics, gives much space to the question, and in a lengthy and suggestive leader on the threatened abolition of the present mode of voting the Volks Zeitung remarks: It would mean nothing less than the enslaving of the working classes neatly disguised in the fashion of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The consequence would be revolution, a real living revolution. An Institution like universal suffrage may be introduced, but once they have struck their roots in the land they cannot be abolished. Workingraen can never be deprived of their rights to vote. Only most erratic fans dies imagine that such plans can be executed without a disturbance of the peace.
