HA nol believe that Louls was daraented, and were lmbued wlth the titi that lf he had been deprived of the relns of government lt was due to hj enmlty of the Prusslans and to hia Utred of PHneo Bismarck.

These llabilitiea have now been ro-plftr-'y . ,.tinpuished. Tht reasons whlch prompted the prince to refuse tba rown on the death of King Louls no lonper exist. Hls unselflshness md patrlotlam have long since been rec osniaed by hls countrymen, to such an ?ter,t that he might at any time wlthin the last ten nr tifteen yeara have been able to asauma thi Crown with popular approval But when jrged to do so he explalntd that i.e was too old to change, and that he preferred that thlngs should remaln as they were; at any rate until hls death. There ls no reason why hla son Prli.ee Louls sho...d not assume the Crown when the aged Regent dleB, while there ire many argumenta ln favor of hls tak lnf roch a step. Bavarla is the most Im? portant of al! the non-PrusBlan aoverelgn itates of the confederatlon known as the German Ln.pire, but haa t-lways been handlcapped ln saeertlng her place by the fact that when-as Wurtemberg and Baxony w-r< represontSd by full-:le in- l Klnga ahe waa represented by a mere Regent, who w*.* compelled to yleld to tbem the "pas." Of course there **as ?Jiapoiltlon on the part of the other states lo accord special consideratlon to Prince Lultpold on account of hla great age, as thaN'eatorof European royalty. Thls con HdaratP n w >uld not be conceded to Prince Louls i>n mere Regent, and lf Ba *?rla ls to play the role whlch belonga to her by rlght among the twenty-odd sov w?l?n sutes of the emplre he must as ?uma the role of Klng and cauae hlrn ?elf to be proelahnsd aa such. Prince Loula is far less amenable than bla fatl.er to Prusslan lnfluences and atoch Waa friendly to the Court of Berlin.
