BERLIN, Feb. 24.-At banquet given at
Brandenburg at which the emperor was
guest of honor, his majesty made an adEs
dress in the course of which he blamed me
enemies of the state. He urged al

welfare, he proceeded: unfortunately
it has now become the fashion to criticise
and nag at every step taken by the govern
ment Public peace is disturbed on
| the most Insignificant grounds. The
enjoyment of life shared by the
whole German fatherland is envenomed.
As a result of this naggfhg persecution
many persons have been imbued with the
idea that our country is most unhappy, and
the worst governed in the world, aud life
in this country IS perfect plague That this
is not the case we Of course are well aware,
but would IL not be better if those discon-

Germany from their feet, retiring as
soon as possible to some country

state Of affairs does not exist. They thus
reap an advantage to themselves, at the
same time doing US great favor. We live
in state of transition. Germany is.

time to criticise the emperor's speech.
The Freisinnige ZeituDg comments on the
utterances Of the emperor, and says:
