Berlin Feb 24-At a banquet given in Branden-
burg at which the Emperor the guest of honor,
His Majesty made address, in the course OF
which he spoke of the critics Of the Government
as enemies of the State. He urged all those who
loved the Fatherland to follow him on the course
he had entered. The speech long one. After
saving that it consolng to receive IN the midst
of the perpIexng State affairs occupying his whole
time so warm a recognition of his efforts for the
peoples welfare, he proceeded
Unfortunately it has become the fashion
to crtcise and nag at every step taken by the Gov
ernment. Public peace is disturbed on the most
insignificant grounds. The enjoyment of life shared
by the whole German Fatherland is envenomed. AS
q result of their nacging persecution many persons
have been imbued with the idea that our country
is the most unhappy and the worst governed in the
world and that life in such a country is perfect
plague That this is not the We, of course,
are we'll aware but would 1t not be better
If discontented persons were to shake the dust
of Germany from off their feet, retiring as soon
rs possible TO some country where such 'miser-
able, wretched state OF affairs does not eXist'
They will thus reap advantage 10 to themselves, at
in a state of transition. Germany is gradually
emerging from infancy She is now about TO
enter on tie period of youth. II would be well.

dies. We live in exciting days In winch the
Judgment of the majority of men is unfortunately
devoid as regards objective facts. But quleter days
are In store, since our people, now uhitms' uh-
deferred by the utterances of voices abroad, are
putting their trust in God and in the loyal, socl
tous efforts of their hereditary ruler
The Emperor next referred TO a supposed his
torc incident in connection with Sir Francis
brakes discovery of the Pacific. He said that
when the Admiral had made landing in Central
America he inquired of the natives regarding the
great ocean. native chief. in response TO the
inquiries of Sir Francis, said: You are in search
of the great water. Follow me and | will show
it TO YOU Then despite the warnings and eX-
hortations from the Admiral's comrades. Sir Fran
cs Drake, led by the chief who had volunteered
to guide him, started to make the ascent OF
lofty mountain chain. After surmounting many
terrible and disheartening difficulties. the great
navigator and his companion at length finished
their toilsome Journey and arrived at the summit
of the mountain Then the chief pointed TO thc
sra behind them and Sir Francis Drake, looking
in the direction indicated. saw the wild waters o
the sea which he had just crossed. The cblci
next led the Admiral round projecting rock,
when. there suddenly burst upon the enchanted
gaze of the explorer the sparkling mirror OF the
Pacific stretching in majestic calm as iar as 'he
eve could reach. /" So may IT he with US eti"

The most remarkable feature of the speech Of
Emperor William to his loyal Brandenburgers' whose
country was the cradle Of Pussian and later OF German
greatness, is the absence of any reference 10 1oies
politics This time the young sovereign does ho' az
mde As usual to the necessity for the Germans faith
fullv TO stand around their Kaiser ready to repel the
onslaught of neigllborlng nations the hereditary
enemies of the Fatherand William ii feels that
danger is inside rather than outside, and Tor the h'

peril His nervous and excited nature has been In
censed recently by the failure of his state socialist
policy, by the parliamentary opposIuon 10 his plans
for clericalzing public instruction and by the revea
t,,ns concerning the barbarous treatment Of German
soldiers.
He describes the dangers which, according
to him, threaten internally the tranquility
and prosperity Of the Empire; but he
does not propose any serious remedy. For instance,
ne says that the grumblers and macontcats had bet
ter shake the dust OF Germany from OIL their feet
retiring soon possible 10 some other country,
but the policy OF his Government seems TO be ruled
by quite different views, since new and strict reSua

make a declaration 10 the municipal authorities, one
month In advance, IN order 10 give them sufficient
time TO inquire about the granting of the proper pass

German emigration in the last two years. fact which
dspeased the imperial authorities.

encouraged BY their later electoral successes that they
