The Kaiser
If we are to believe the cable-man, the Kaiser has written ' a sharp and mandatory letter ' of an extremely platitudinous character to the distinguished prelate that bears the archiepiscopal staff of Posen, in Prussian Poland. The ' sharpness ' of the letter was presumably due to the fact that the Poles do not take over-kindly to the fierce and too often savage repression of their native customs and their native tongue that has disgraced the last few years of Prussian administration in that misgoverned Catholic province. National sentiment is not to be crushed, either in Poland or in Ireland, by the methods of the coercionist and the armed bully. And a combination of dyspepsia and scrofula and ' imperious temper don't commonly produce a letter that bears the stamp of Vere de Vere.
