The Premiership in Hungary has now been offered to Count
Tisza, who will accept it 'if the Liberals:, as distin- guished from the Kossuthites, will accept the concessions to which the King has agreed. ' These include some important changes, espeCially the transfer of all Hungirian. officers to Hungarian regiments, and the obligatory use of .the "U4tional tongue in Hungarian military colleges ;' but it is dOtibliil if Liberals will accept them. , They do not include the 'abitxtdciii- ment 'of German for the words of command, and' dO. not settle the question whether in the last resort. the Hungarian Army is responsible to Parliament. In other wordi, if S.future King, being absolutist and Clerical, suspended the ,Consti- tution of Hungary, the Army would be bound' to obey him without reference to the popular will. The Liberals think Vie contingency specified quite a probable one, and:regal•ditbe dispute, which their opponents denounce'as " a mere ,quibble," as of the highest constitutional importance. It' certainly is, but it is one which in nearly all Monarchies it bas been found convenient to leave a little .obscure. , Continental soldiers are seldom enthusiastic in their loyalty. te Parliaments.
