WILLIAM AND HIS PEOPLE.
His Aims and Intentions Approved
by the Presa.

BERLIN, June 19.-The morning papers
approve the emperor's proclamation to the
people, especially the sincere aims which he
has 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
reciprocated as cordially as they are made
They express the hope that perfect harmony
between sovereign and people will always
be preserved, and declare that the people
will faithfully support the sovereign in the
tulf1liment of this task
After having been closed for three days
on account of the death of Emperor Fred
erick, the bourse resumed business to-day

London the first week in July. Before his

TALLAHASSEE, FLA, June 19.-By virtue
of an appropriation bill recently passed by
congress, Tallahassee is to have $75, 900
public building for the United States land
and revenue offices and postoffice. The
proper location of it is now an interesting
topic of conversation among the citizens of
the capital Many think it should be placed
upon the square now occupied in part by
the university library, while others advo-
cate the selection of the half block immedi-
ately opposite the new Leon hotel, and still
others recommend the square just north of
the state capitol building. Any one of
these would be a fine location, and the
matter will soon be settled by the proper
officer.
The people of Leon county are going to
make a determined effort to carry the
county for the democrats this year by elect
ing a full complement Of county officers,
and also capable members of the legislature.

Pension Frauds in South Carolina
L.. 4 l. Ill

The information which comes from
Columbia in regard to fraudulent applica-
tlons for pensions under the state law is moi
pleasant reading. Several claims of this
description have passed the pension board,
and 1t is not known how many more are
yet TO be unearthed. An ugly feature of
the business is that all the pensions obtained
by false representations, 50 far as known.
have been obtained by women, who. of
course, have perjured themselves for the
sake of the few dollars thus secured. II
goes without saying that the husbands of
these married widows" are equally guilty
IN fact, # not in law, with their deceitful
wives: The amount appropriated by the
state IS small at best, and cannot afford re-
lief to all the deserving and really depen.
dent persons, men and women, for whose
benefit it was provided.
