Bismarck's Little Games.

Prince Otto von Bismarck, the German chancellor, would appear in royal attire quite majestically, just like the Egyptian kings of the olden times. Bismarck fortifies his position by royal messages, like, the one of April 14 last, which contain his own commands and wishes. There are several dodges, which he uses for that purpose. A few days ago Prince Bismarck, who is seriously afflicted with neuralgia, played a new card in sending a message to the Reichstag in his own name. It was ridiculed as a second- class message, which, under the Constitution, the Chancellor had no right to send. It was therefore laid on the table after its unconstitutionality had been demonstrated. In it Bismarck blamed the Reichstag for having required "the Secretary of War" to act, while the Chancellor was the proper authority to be addressed.
