THE MINORITY IN GERMANY.
[To THE EDITOR OP THE "SPECTATOR."] SIR,—Apropos of the letters of " Germauicus," I can only assure you that that is the spirit, and it is the spirit that will count; it has always been the minority that has set the avalanche moving in Germany. They are (to mix the metaphor) steering definitely for a particular goal, and even if they tack about and seem to leave the course, their minds are yet set on the one thing; it is never lost sight of. When the right moment comes the people will be hypnotized into thinking it is they who are rising up and doing this or that, but they will only do what is prearranged for them to do. Whether this is good or bad for a people may be a moot point, but in either case we who are psychologically so differently made cannot act likewise.—I am, Sir, &c., OBSERVER.
