Prince Bismarck Gives Good Adyic,
to All Prussians-The People Ar.
BEGINNING to See, so He Says, What
He Meant Three Years Ago.
BERLIN, Aug. 23.-Bismsrck is still tax
| ing the waters at Ktssiugen. On Sunday
last party of 700 of his admirers from
| the Thuringia district, in central Germany,
| arrived at KissiDgen for the purpose OF
paying their respects to the aged ex chan
cellor. This party upon their arrival were
joined BY 800 of the people visiting Kls-
singer, and together they proceeded to the
villa occupied by Prince Bismarck and pre-
scented an address to him. In reply to
this address the prince dwelt strongly
upon the subject of German unity. He
said:
"Sincs 1871 we have been comparatively
undisturbsd by our French neighbors,
whom Providence placed where they are
for the purpose of keeping us awake.
The days have long gone by when France
regarded campaign in Germany as a sort
of pleasure excursion. France knows we'll
enough now what We are made of. We
must give up carping and cavilling at the
present state of things, with the object of
making new arrangements. I refer to the
semi-efficial uttersncss directed toward the
attainment of greater Prussia" The
national Hbsrals in 1S4S had cut and
dried plan of this sort. In creating the
unity Of the empire sought to preserve
everything that was in any way compsti-
BILE Herewith. The enthusiastic demon
strstions I have received In the German
akato 80 Oh he, A.
my policy was right.
''To those Prussisns who are not content
and who wish to put every body else In their
pockets l say: You are real particulsrists.
You do not recognize Germany outside of
Prussia. am sorry to see in the decline
of my life the principles of the constitu-
ton being undermined by people who are
trying to procure the Capitalization of the
imperial power. Do you believe 1t would
be an advantage If the eight princes of
were replaced by one imperial
governors German cliDgs to his dynas-
ties, and the dynasties, too, cling to Ger
many. All accusations against me are
pure inventions. If 1 wished to combat
the present government l would make q
tour of Germany and summon popular a.
semblies everywhere and thresh out all
had in my heart against the government
L
not learned to lie even as a diplomat. The
people now begin to zee what 1 meant |
.hree years ago when l said here that the
ought to be the first object of
care. l observe that the post of imperial |
chancellor has been separated from the |
presidency of the p assian council of min
sters. l also observe that at the recent |
conference of the finance ministers of the |
eversl states at Frankfort the presidents |
hair was occupied by the secretary of the /
imperial treasury, who ia subordinate /
,ureauorat. This Is unconstitutional. The /
Emperor and the chancellor are only the /
Executive organs of the Bundesrath and /
2eichstag. Neither of them has a right to /
'ttempt more than to publish the laws en-
cted by these bodies. The chancellor |
'ught to have influence in the Bundesrath /
'nly by means of Prussian votes. i'll
part therefrom he takes the lead and his
ecretal.es are placed over the ministers of /
he federal sta IS breach of the oonstitu-
ion results, which must be opposed.
Gan end must be put to this system.
The constitution is good. 1t cost hard
york and blood and lives enough. 1t
makes me anxious to 500 1t meddleu with.
Everybody must do what he cen 70 direct
ur policy into the right path. All the
Diets ought to be more active in this re-
poet. The national cause ought to be the
rat item of every act of the legislature"
Prince Bismarck concluded by declaring
hat he had spoken out of the fullness of
is heart. He hal, he said, no connection
With any newspaper. He paid his debts in
he same coin as he WAS paid.
