BERLIN, March Sth.-The Government
has decided to open the business of the
Reichstag with the projects prepared by
the Council of State, the foremost of which
are bills regulating the work on Sunday
and restricting the hours of labor for
women and children. The more complex
measures relating to the hours of male
and adults and miners work per day will
be reserved until the autumn session,
A bill will also be presented aiming to
control strikes. and an anti-ADarchist meas
ure designed to replace the anti Socialist
law. 1t is impossible TO foresee how the
heterogeneous elements of the Reicbstag will
group themselves upon the Governments
proposals.
The official expectation is that the pro-
ject of the Council of State will be quietly
discussed and accepted, but the army cred
its and anti-Anarchist law will test The po-
sition of the Government toward the ma.
jority.
The Fresinnige organs say if the Gen.
trists throw their vote against the Govern
ment dissolution would be Immediately
pronounced. Bismarck is goirg to the
country on q broad, simple platform
for the maintenance and efficiency of the
army. Although the clerical press is re-
served on the subject, suggestive illusions
constantly recur to The resolutions adopted
at the recent Catholic Congress in favor of
foreign intervention.
The first terms asked will be educational
concessions. When these shall have been
granted whatever pressure the Centri.ts
can exercise they will concentrate upon an
effort to effect rupture Of the existing
compact with Italy.
The anti Anarchist bill is the Emper0r's
inspiration and was sssented 10 by Bis
marck. 1t is the anti. Socialist law under a
new name. 1t is understood the expulsion
clause in the anti-Socialist law will be
omitted, and that the bill permits a wider
| freedom of discussion in the press and on
the platform and enaets severe penalties
against the assailants of the Crown and
Government.
The Emperor's speech at Brandenburg
Wednesday continues to excite the greatest
public interest. The official version in the
North German Gazette, instead of modify
ing, ,intensifes the Emperor's declaration of
absolutism. In the most remarkable pas
sage he said: 81 see in the people and the
land intrusted to me by God, talent
which, as the Bible says, it is my duty to
increase. l mean with all my strength 10
so trade with my talent that l will be en-
abled to add many thereto. Those who
help me / heartily welcome. Those who
oppose me dash to pieces"
All classes of papers are commenting on
this according to their political views. The
Pomeranian Reichpost urges the Emperor
to establish Dictatorship. Other papers
advise suppression of universal suffrage,
and suspension of the sittings of the
Reichstag if the opposition becomes vio-
lent. The Reinsche WeStphaliche Zeitsuag a
Bismarckian organ, asserts that the Chan
celor, in freely criticising the result of the
elections said: eve shall leave the new
Reichstae to cook in its OWN irIice.n
