EMPEROR WILLIAMS SPEECH.
A Berlin cablegram of the 10th says:
In the speech from the throne, which
was read by Count Stalberg Werpizer-
ade at the opening of the Reichstag yes
terday, it said that, Immediately after
the first attempt upon the Empcror's
lie, the Federal Government became
convinced that the crime was due to
the influence of the sentiments prOpa-
gated far and wide by the agita-
ton which aimed at undermining
the existing laws of the State and
society. The speech. after referring
to the rejection Of the first bill brought
forward in the reicEstag for the arrest
of the Vaccinations which imperiled
the common interests of the country,
SAYS: THE federal government thinks
now, as formerly, that extraordinary
measures are required to prevent u fur
ther extension Of the already wide
spread evil, and to pave the way for its
extinction, and that such meas
ures should preserve the liberty
of citizens in general, and only pre-
vent the abuse Of liberty, by which the
pernicious Socialist agitation threatens
the foundations of life and all culture"
The speech expresses confident hope
that the Deputies will not refuse the
means of giving the Empire the same
security from internal as it already en-
joys from external attack. The Liber-
ais are not much pleased with the
speech, which they regard as partly an
indictment against themselves.
