BERLIN, February p. - The emperor's
speech to the members of the Brandenburg
diet, who banqueted him, in which he said,
in reference to his proposed anti-socialist
legislation, 'iMy course is the right one,
and will be prosecuted to the utmost" has
stirred up the people. This in addition to
his other statement, MY viii Is the supreme
law" has created a sensation throughout the
capital.
An instance of the heated passions of the
masses was exemplified when body of three
or four thousand unemployed men met by pre-
concerted arrangement in public way and
passed a series of infammatOry resolutions
denouncing employers and system OF gov
eminent which enabled the latter to crush
| the Workingman beneath the iron heel OF
capital, and calling upon the government TO
lake steps to protect the interests OF working
classes.
News of this bold gathering, in defiance of
the recent order of the authorities prohibiting
such meetings, spread with rapidity through
out the city. The result was social agitators
| determined to take advantage of the excited
| and unemployed men and make Q demon
stration before the castle of the emperor.
Led by socialist agitators the worknen
/ marched in the direction of Unter-den-Iin-
/ den, the most celebrated avenue in Berlin.
| The police were utterly unable to cope with
| the roaring, swelling, enthusiastic crowd, en-
/ couraged by thousands of other persons who
watched their progress through the streets.
/ On arriving beneath the statue OF Frederick
/
| leader made passionate address to them,
| urging them to carry their demonstration up
/ TO the gates of the castle. Loud cheers
greeted the suggestion, and then at signal
| Inc workingDen began singing the Marseli-
| laise and marched on, cheered by thousands
| who had gathered in the broad avenue to wit
| ness the demonstration.
/ ' The workmen, passing through the line of
/ The police which barred their passage, had
/ nearly reached the castle gate when strong
detachment of police threw themselves across
/ the short portion OF the thOroughfare inter
vening between the rioters and the castle and
/ made determined charge upon the head OF
/ the woTkingmen's column. The latter for a
| moment or so, nerved by the roaring cheers
/ of thousands, stubbornly withstOod the at
| tack ofthe police and pressed onward by those
| In the rear, actually managed to gain head
way and to beat back the powerful police de-
| tachment.
The latter, however. rallied, and hitting
| f,Iriouslv right and left, wounded scores upon
scores of workingmen, who were trampled
| beneath the feet of the officers OF the law
Somebody among the workmen called upon

OMAHA, NIB, February 26.-An appeal,
bearing upon it the signatures of the presi-
dent, secretary and treasurer, is issued from
the headquarters of the Irish National
League of America TO the friends of home
rule In America, to call meetings in the
towns and cities of the United States to raise
money TO aid home rule which, says the ap-
peal, must be fought out in the coming par
lament. The appeal advises that the money
thus collected should be, according to wish
of donaters, sent to either the party led by
Mccarthy, OF the party led by Redmond but
with the proviso that these moneys shall not
be used by one party against the other. The
matters which separate Irish parties now;
says the appeal should not be considered at
the present time, but attention alone should
be given to home rule for Ireland.

ArcMsOS. KAS.-The closing of Monday
found but few private buildings decorated.
The street arches and public decorations were
arranged as far as could be done and keep
them under cover.
But early Tuesday, with their minds full of
regrets and doubts, the entire city set to work
with a determination to decorate, come what
might.
At daylight fire engine and company of
hre ladies washed the mud and slush from
the paved streets and left very neat results
behind them
Public and private buildings, stores and
residences were draped and festooned with
the national cOlOrs. Large triple arches
were erected over two of the principal street
crossings.
Portraits OF the men famous In the fight
Tor the union were everywhere displayed.
Then the low clouds began to lift, and streak
Of sunshine gladdened al hearts.

BERLIN, February 26.-The emperor, at a
banquet, made an address which contains
his:
UNFORTUNATELY, it has now become the
fashion to criticize and nag at every step
AIKEN by the government. The public peace
Is disturbed on the most insignificant grounds
and the enjoyment of life shared By the whole
German fatherland envenomed. As result
of this nagging, many persons have been I'M
bued with the idea that our country is the
most unhappy and worst governed in the
world, and that life in such a country is a
perfect plague. That this is not the case, we
of course are well aware, but would it not be
shake the dust of Germany from their feet,
retiring as soon as possible to some country
where such a miserable, wretched state OF
AFFAIRS does not exist? They will thus reap
an advantage to themselves, while at the same
time be doing US a great favor"

The result Is that nine out of every ten of the

They are supposed to keep better

an old bachelor has not much to live
for, anyway. A man moving along

NEW JERSEY has million and a
half jewellers, and is one of the
wealthiest OF American States. 1t is
all the more surprising then that the
cause Of popular education languishes
in this part OF the Republic. Ac-
cOFding to the census given out the
other day there are 43O, 279 children
Of school age, of whom 1877, S14, or
more than a third of the total, are
not enrolled in any educational insti-
tuition In comparing the illiteracy
of the country, the South is singled
out as derelict in educating its young,
but here is a proud Northern State
with more wealth than any composing
the Southern group OF common
Wealths, that is allowing a vast num-
Der of its children to grow up without
schooling of any kind. In this age
OF enlightment it is nothing less than
crime for any State to allow a cOnsid-
cradle part Of her population TO grow
up in ignorance when education can
be so easily obtained The injury
inflicted through the ignoramus policy
falls hardest upon the most deserving
the honest wage-earners. Their
children of all Others should not be
deprived Of the benefits of an educa-
ton. To deny that handicaps them

avenues open to the industrious and

Clinton & Springfield railroad in the eastern
part of this county, was robbed the other
night. Postmaster Allison reports loss of
from $50 to $50 IN stamps. Postal cards and
stamped envelopes were left untouched. A
considerable amount of goods and notions
was taken from the store in which the Office
Is kept. Entrance was gained by breaking
out a glass door in front of the store.
This is the second robbery for this Office
within the last few months. In fact, nearly
every Office in this county has been robbed
once or twice within the last year. So far no
clue is had to the robbers.

The decision Is that the rates are not unrea-
sonable, considering that the sparsely settled
country through which the road runs furn-
ishes comparatively little business to the road.
