Wilhelm to the People.

Emperor William has issued a
proclamation TO the Prussian PEG
Pile. In it he says:
Called to the throne of my IA
theirs, have assumed the govern
ment looking up to the king of
kings, and have vowed to God that
after the example % my fathers /
will be jlSt aud clement prince to
my people, that will foster piety
and fear of God; that l will protect
peace and promote the welfare OF
the country, and that l will be a
helper Of the poor and distressed
and a true guardian of their rights.
In praying God for strength to full
ell these kingly duties, which His
will imposes upon me, am support
ed by confidence in the Prussian
people, which a glance at our past
history gives me. In good and in
evil days the Prussian people have
always stood by their king. Upon
this fidelity, which my fathers have
found an indissoluh!e bond at all
times Of difficulty aud danger, finely
with a consciousness OF returning it
from the bottom Of my heart as the
faithful prince of faithful people,
both equally strong in their devo.
ton to their common fatherland.
From this consciousness Of the re-
ciprocated love uniting me and my
people, l derive confidence that God
will vouchsate the strength and
wisdom to exercise my kiDgly Office
for the welfare of the fatherland.

President Cleveland is reported
as saying in a recent interview with
prominent New J ork democrat as
entirely pleased with the attitude of
the democratic party upon the tar
if question. He maintains that the
canvass before the people will show
that the democrats have the popu-
lar side. "Yhe country will not
much longer endure 81 excessive
system of taxation" said the presi-
dent, -"that creates such q surplus In
the treasury, and the good sense
OF the people demands that tax es
upon necessities shall be the first to
be reduced. The republicans,
forced to do something. may seek
to abolish the internal revenue
taxes, but the people will emphati-
cally declare for cheaper clothing
rather than cheap whisky"

The Bows to the Front,

Referring to the national conven-
ton of democratic clubs, which is
to meet in Baltimore On the COM
ing 4th of July, the Courier-Joprnal
aptly says;
We need organization, thorough
organization, local no less than ma
tional organlzat on, and the young
democrats of the country can be
brought to the front none too soon ;
for upon their shoulders will fall
the work of presidential campaign
destined to be the most stubbornly
fought of any in the history of
American politics. The republicans
are goaded to desperation. They
know that flor them it is tQ be a
fight for life. II they lose it, they
are lost. Behind them stand the
preferred classes, rolling in stolen
wealth, and ready to surrender a
portion OF this to psrpetuate the
war taxes to which they owe ting
whole Of it. The cause of the peo--
pie IS pot supported by ill-got gold,

Young men OF the period. The time

Farmers Week,

Last week, according to the Cou-
rier-JournaPs business report, was
decidedly farmers week in the
point of weather conditions. In
nearly all sections of the country
there have been rains more or less
copious, with high tempers ture, and
the crops have necessarily flourish
ed. In the meanwhile the cutworm
has ceased to make items for the
press. There is estimated to be a
decrease of one per cent. in the
acreage of spring wheat, but the
acreage of corn has been enlarged,
that of oats has very large in
crease, and the cotton area is the
largest ever covered. The princi-
pal productive interests of the coun-
try are therefore well placed in the
main to receive and appropriate on
grand scale the future benefac-
tions of nature.

The Chronicle claims that St.

The now celebrated case of the
state against Banks and Cockrill for
the murder Of John j. Littleton in
Nashville was brought to close
Saturday evening and under the
charge of Judge Ridley the jury
took the case. On Monday morn
ing the jury reported that 1t was

being nine for acquittal and three
for conviction. The three were
IN favor of a verdict Of murder

of five years.
The jury was discharged and the
defendants remanded to Jail. 1t is

The Baltimore Convention,

The meeting of the executive
committee of the national league of
democratic clubs at the Hoffman
House on Thursday night made
good progress in the work of prep
aration for the Baltimore conven-
ton on July a. The most favora-
bic rates of transportation have
been secured from all points and
the arrangements for the meeting of
the convention itself and for the en-
tertainment of delegates at Balti-
more are highly satisfactory.
We regard this gathering as Sec
ond only in Importance to the St.
Louis convention. 1t is OF special
moment in this campaign that
young voters should be brought in
to the democratic lines. The mum
Der Of citizens that will this year
cast their first ballots for presiden-
tial electors will be large enough to
determine the result.
The republican clubs are organ
lied with a particular view to this
young and always doubtful vote.
Their effort must be met and mas
tered through the work to be mi
tiated at Baltimore.
Let not the splendid enthusiasm
of St. Louis encourage the idea that
further eXertion is superfuOus.
The mass of voters who are not di
rectly affiliated with regular party
organizations must be interested in
the great national debate and must
be brought to the right side. The
Assem- blage at Baltimore will be an
ecumenical council IN politics, from
which there will be sent forth apes

trlet in the land.
