The Emperor William Makes "a Speech of
Special Interest to Ills People.
BERN, Oct. 20.-In reply to a request
of the municipal council for an expla-
nation Of the Emperor's speech OF Sat
urday the following, which is the con-
Guiding passage of the speech, was sent
to Mayor Forckenbeck: ~ cannot but
give expression to very painful reni-
nisence OF my journey. While l have
nevoted health and strength to securing
the peace and welfare OF the Father
land, and thus of the capital, also by
creating ties OF friendship, the daily
press OF the capital has
given publicity to and spoken about the
private individual would never toler-
ate. | am not only painfully impressed
by this, but my displeasure has been
aroused. l wish above all that the con-
tinuous citing OF the name OF my de-
parted father shall cease. 1t most
deeply Injuries my feelings MS his
son and it is in the very high
est degree unbecoming. l trust
that when l choose Berlin MS my
principal residence-and as Perliner it
alwaysattracts me-the people will llayoid
making the private relations Of my fam.
lily the subject of press discussion. The
duties of uniting a prince with his peo-
pie for the purpose OF making the Faith
erland great and happy are numerous
and important enough for them
to devote their whole atten-,
ton to it in thoroughly patriotic
manner, allowingall otheraifairs such rs
l have already mentionedto rest, with
out giving them publicity. Theyshould
Combineto use their strength in faith
full devotion to these high and noble
aims. trust the representatives of
Berlin, to receive whom gives me
special pleasure, will endeavor in this
matter TO perform their part"
The passage in which the Emperorre-
Dukes the press for quoting the Emperor
Frederick in unfavorablo comparison
with himself, elicits special interest.
The first semi.oilicial copy contained no
explicit reference to the Emperor.

Meeting at Elm Grove.

There was a fine Republican meeting
at Elm Grove last evening: :Kimmins's
hall being crowded TO its utmost capa-
city. Hon. j. II. Burt made the open
ing speech, and it was u fine one. He
held the attention OF his hearers through
out, and was greeted with frequent mp
plause. He was followed by Hon. w.
NJ. Dunlap, one Of the Republican nomi-
nees for the House of Delegates, who
made ringing speech which was well
received. Mr.. Hugo l.. Loos, another
Republican nominee for the Legislature,
was then called out, and made short,
business like speech. Altogether it was
the finest meeting OF the campaign ut
Elm Grove so far. All Of the speakers
talked for votes, and there is reason to
believe they got them.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct 29.-Tho scheme
of the United States Express Company
to get a through route for its business to
New York by building a branch rail-
road from Gloucester City to Atco to
connect with the New Jersey Southern
road has apparently remained quiescent,
the past week orso, Notwithstanding the
action OF the Gloucester City Council in
granting a right Of way for the new line,
The reason for this is that negotiations
are pending with the Reading Railroad
Company for the purchase Of its Cam
den, Gloucester and Mount Ephraim
branch, and il they terminate success
fully the idea Of establishing the termi-
nus OF the line at Gloucester will be
abandoned.

obtains in business transactionsl Are
you really sincere in believing that your
candidacy is necessary to the success OF
your amendment? Do you not know
that
IF THE AMENDMENT IS ADOPTED
it will be not because OF, but despite OF
your candidacy, by Democrats and Re-
publicans alike voting irrespective Of
party; nay, does not the very fact OF
your candidacy and the assumption Of
your party to n monopoly OF all that is
left OF morality and public decency in
politics render the adoption of your
amendment less certain than it would
have been il pressed upon the attention
OF voters, not as measure supported by
9 political party, but as one entitled to
the support OF the good people Of all
parties. There is no instance IN all the
history OF temperance work OF any mess
ure having been carried by any political
party organized as distinctively and only
a temperance party. The Prohibition
party has never yet given prohibition to
any State OF this union. All the achieve
ments with which it can be credited are
entirely foreign to the supposed objects
Of its organization. In 1884, it turned
the country over TO the administration
of the party which in 1851 sought to de.
stroy ii, and is justly responsible fer all
the evils whicE have and may occur
because OF it, including the possibility
in the near future Of having the war
declared not u part OF the
constitution OF the United States by
Democratic Supreme Court. Its 1Sl
votes in your Congressional dis
trict brought about the election
of the Democratic and the defeat OF
he Republican candidate in 1886. The
votes cast for you in November are like
y to postpone the day of redemption
II your State from the rule Of those who,
lot being present at its birth, have
lever yet conceded it to be q legitimate
,hild. But for the unnecessary and ip'
'xcusable existence Of your party the
Electoral vote OF your State would be
ounted this year for a Republican Pres !
dent, But for your party, New York
would to-day be under the operation OF
he only temperance measure practica- i

itions. So pure and holy are you that
