fact that most Of the names before the Chi

for repudiating the debt of Virginia, and

Emperor williams Proclamation.
BERLIN, June 19.-The morning papers
approve the Emperor's proclamation to the
people; especially the sincere aims which he
he's set himself, and the stress he lays upon
his trust of the people and the attachment
between the sovereign and the nation. They
say his avowals will be everywhere recipro-
Gated as cordially as they are made. They
express the hope that perfect harmony be-
tween the sovereign and the people will al
ways be preserved, and declare that the peo-
pie will faithfully support the sovereign in
the ful6lment of his task.
LONDON, June 1.-the morning papers
comment at length upon the Emperor OF
Germauy's proclamation to the people.
The Daily Ne,0s says: 1t is man of peace
that the people mourn and the young EN-
peror seems to have perceived this.
The Standard thinks that the Emperor
Williams proclamations give color to the
Interpretation which has been placed upon
the doings and sayings of his less response
bic days.
The Post says the Emperors proc|ama-
tions make clear to what quarter ne will
mainly look in order to maintain Germany 3
prosperity. He may not intend to draw the
sword, but he has no intention of turning it
into ploughshare.
The Telegraph thinks that the latest proc
lamation, that addressed to the people,
wears softer spirit, but shows the same IN
mistak able ring of sovereignty in it.
The Times thinks the proclamation to the
people lacks spontaniety, sentiment. and
individuality of utterance which are 30 con-
spicuous in the addresses to the army and
navy and that, though full ofsouud senti
ments and good intention, is nevertheless
conceived in more commonplace spirit.
The Daily Chronicle thinks the Emperor +
proclamation to the people may be accepted
as proof that bis fathers example has al
ready had an effect upon the spirit in which
his policy will be directed.

THE CONVENTION that met in Chicago to.
day will nominate ticket that all the mug
wumps, negroes and republicans-including
the thousands of the latter now in Office,
will vote next November But as the con-
venton that nominated the democratic
ticket endorsed the Presidents wise low
tariff message, and made that message the
chief part OF the democratic platform, there
is no good reason why any man calling him
self 8 democrat should not support his par
ty's ticket. Measures, not men, are what

dyeing. In another room are half q
dozen hexagonal boxes revolving in
an atmosphere of dust. They contain
the buttons, which are now being
polished by the action of some hard
powder which is placed with them In
the boxes. There is secret in every
trade, and fancy that the contents of
the mixture with which the buttons
are eventually stained are not divulged
to the world. Down below was taken
into another room, in which there were
scores of tins containing dyes and many
buckets holding chemical solutions.
When the buttons are ready for receiv-
ing the dye they are placed on tin
tray, holding. I think, a gross. The
dye is then blown ON to them by a
spray, which causes the liquid to fall
naturally. The trays are then put into
gas heated oven. and afterwards put
on to the cards ready for the market.
