felt everywhere. That the socialists ran

madness upon the common sense Of the
sane millions was unexpected. The peo.
pie were not prepared for this extreme
result Of theories rife in their midst. II
sober, intelligent man Of some position
in society, and aspiring to socialistic
honors, could be betrayed into lifting his
hand against this kind.hearted old man,
the venerable sovereign Of his people
and living impersonation Of their long
designed unity, there must be an infec.

not kinder hearted or more afiable man
In Europe than Emperor William, or one
more mindful OF the sufferings OF bis
subjects, they regard him as the chief
promoter and supporter Of the present

out OF the way policy Of peace and So
cial Developments would be forced on
the government and the scourge Of the
great standing army be gotten rid Of.
