GERMANY's POLICY.
| BERLIN. March l3.-The CARTE contains
the following letter from Emperor Fred
| trtck TO Prince Bismarck:
my DEAR PRINCE: At the commencement
OF my reign 1t IS necessary for me TO turn TO
ant of my late father, who now rests
In God. You are the true and cour-
| ageods counselor who gave TO his policy
its aim and form and secured its COM
plete fulfllment. You I am In duty bound
1 to warmly thank for the maintenance Of my
house. Yc1 have therefore the right before
| gil others, to know what are tbs standpoints
which will be the guiding principles for up
stitution and rights of the empire and of Prus-
| STA must before all. be consulted with venera-
| ton and in accordance with the customs Of
the nation. Frequent changes in state regu-
| Iations and measures should be avoided as
much as poss BILE. The administration Of
| the Imperial Government must be left I'M
disturbed on the firm foundation where the
PrussIan state has hitherto rested IN security.
| In the empire the constitutional rights of all
4 the Federal Governments must as conscien-
tiously be respected as those OF the Reichstag.
| but from both milar respect for the rights OF
| the Emperor will be demanded.
| THE ARMY MUST BE KEPT Up.
| we must keep before our eyes the fact that
| these mutual rights must serve for promot-
/ ing the public welfare, which remains
| the supreme law Of the land and which
must always be employed in fully salts
Tying any further and undoubted ma
| tional requirements which may arise.
AS the necessary and surest guaranty for the
| unimpeded execution of these tasks / believe
| Ill the undated maintenance of the warlike
| power of the country, of my well-tried army
and of the navy now growing up, for which
| important duties have arisen in the require
ments OF our trans-oceanic possessions.
Both must at all times be maintained
| By the full completion of their organ
ization, which has already formed the
! foundation OF Their fame and which insures
| their further effective services. I am re-
| solved to conduct the government, both in the
| empire and in Prussia, with conscientious OBJ
serVation OF the provisions of the constitutions
OF each. These cave been founded by my pre-
| decessors upon the throne upon likewise recog-
milton OF lrrefutable necessities and the settle
ment OF difficult questions arising in the social
and official life Of the country, and must be OBJ

RELIGIOUS FEDERATION.
u desire that relg Gus liberation, which for
centuries past was held sacred by my house,
shall continue to be extended to all my subjects
OF whatever religious community or
creed. Every one of them stands equal
ly near my heart, for ell have shown
equally thorough devotion in times of
danger In accordance with the views of my
forts calculated to improve the economical
prosperity of the different classes of society," to
conolliate Their opposing interests, and as far
as IL is In my power to alleviate unavoidable
distress, without, however, rails ng the ex &C.
tation that it is possible to end all the ills OF
society by state Intervention.
EDUCATION PROPER AND IMPROPER.
CLOSELY bound up W tn the social question
regard that of education. Efforts to this enc
must be on higher scale and more widely ac.
cesslble We must avoid creating dangers by
ri a.
which the economical condition of the nation
can not satisfy. We must also be careful that
through ones ded efforts for increased knowl-
edge the real task of education shall not remain
neglected. Only @ generation growing uO up
on sound basis, in the fear OF God and in sim
pllclty OF morals, can possess sufficient rising
power to overcome the dangers which in these
times of rapid economical movement arise for
the entire community through the examples
set by highly luxurious individuals.
Ii Is my will that no opportunity be lost in
the public service to offer every opposition to
the temptation to improper eXpend lures.
THE TAXES TO BE INVESTIGATED.
Ihe self-government granted to the greater

beneficial On the other hand, would suggest
for examination the question whether the right
OF levy ng taxes commenced upon these COM
munities. which is exercised by them without
suf1clent regard for the burden simultaneously
imposed by the empire and by the state, may.
not weigh unfairly upon individuals. In like
manner it will have to be considered whether
in simplifying matters change in our organ
lzation could not be effected which would per-
nit reduction in the number of officials and
an increase in their emoluments. 1t will

ment the work for which German art and
science shows so rich a measure of promise.
THE EMPEROR'S HOPE.
TheSe are my intentions, and counting upon
your well-proved devotion and on support Of
your tried experience may it be vouehsafed to
me thus, with the unanimous cooperation of
the states of the empire and with the devoted
activity OF the representatives of the people,
as well as all the officials, and trusting to
the help of all classes of population, to lead
Germany and Prussia to new honors in pacific
development Careless Of splendor and glori-
GUS achievements shall be content if it can
be hereafter said of my government that 1t
was beneficial to my people. useful to my
country and blessed to my empire. Your af-

An extraordinary edition of the official
Gazette contairf 'je following proclamation
from emperor frederick.
ITO MY PEOPLE: The Emperor has ended
his glorioue life In the much-loved father
whom bewan whom my royal house with me
iaments in deepest sorrow, the faithful Prussian
people have lost their fame-crowned King, the
German nation the founder of it's unity
and the neWly-risen empire the first Ger
man Emperor. His illustrious name will re-
main inseparably bound up with all the great
ness OF the German Fatherland, in whose new
creation the strenuous labor of the Prussian
PSOPAO
did reward. While King William raised the
Prussian army to the heights of its earnest
vocation by neyer-tiring care; nations
the V ctories which were afterward gained by
German arms under his leadership, and out Of
which sprung ational unity. He thereby Sc
cured to the empire portion of power such as
op to that time every German heart had
yearned for but had scarcely dared to hope for
and that which he won for his people in hon.
orable death.bringing fight, he was des-
tined to st engthen and benefcally in
crease by the long and peaceful toll of his
laborious years Of government. Safely resting
upon her own strength Germany stands forth
esteemed in the council of nations and desires
only to enjoy in peaceful progress that which
she has won. That this is so we have to thank
Emperor William.
:" In his neVer-wavering devotion to duty and
his indefatigable activity consecrated to the
welfare of the fatherland, he was supported
by h S reliance upon the self-sacrifcing devo-
ton OF which the Prussan people have given
unvarying proofs and in which all the German
races shared. All the rights and dut es which
are connected with the Crown and my house.
and for the t me that, according to Gods will,
may M: pc allotted to me to rule, am resolved to
faithfully preserve with the name now passed
to me. Imbued with the greatness of my
mission I shall make it my whole en-
deavor to continue the fabric in the
spirit in which it was founded-to make Ger
foster her welfare. To my faithful people, who
have stood by my house throughout the history
OF the Wnole century IN g00d as IN evil days, l
offer my unbounded confidence, for / am con-
WINGED that on the basis of the unbreaI1able
bond between the sovereign and the people,
which, independently of every change in the
lfs of the state, forms the unaterable inherit
ance Of the house of Hohenzollern, my crown
! rests henceforward as securely as it does upon
the devotion OF the country to the government
of which am now called and of which SOL
EMMY promise to be faithful King, both IN
happiness and in sorrow.
MAY God grant me His blessing and
strength to carry out this work. to which my
life shall henceforth be devoted.
'FREDERICK.
