...latest number Lampy has concocted a sort of repressed Christmas medley. As one turns the hushed pages of his humour one somehow cannot recognize it as being really an effect of Christmas. To be sure there is the mild "Sania" spirit; the Yule log sputters over and anon doggedly, but the whole is so very mild and chastened that one cannot help attributing it to sadness at an abbreviated Christmas vacation. Such, at least, is the key-note set by the leading editorial with its pathetic plea for a longer holiday, and each succeeding Christmas thought follows hard...

But this again is troubling ourselves with phantoms of our imagination. A revolution, conducted in the dear, old methodical Teutonic way would be so mild a form of chaos that there need be no swing of the pendelum in the opposite direction. To the contrary, the chances are strongly in favor of such a movement simmering down to a good, comfortable bourgeois democracy, such as we ourselves enjoy, for the German temperament lacks that volatility...
