monument to be ecrected TO Emperor VIII
liam j, remarked that it was not q national
but a memorial of the dynasty.
This remark was attributed to the Emperor
when Reinhos Began, the sculptor, pro-
posed TO adorn the national monument TO
be erected in accordance with the vote or
the Reichstag to Emperor William j with
a ballot-box, the tables OF the law, a laurel
wreath and a cross. The first two en-
blemS were intended TO represent the par
tcipation OF the people in the shaping of
public affairs. The Emperor was said TO
two emblems first mentioned, and in SO do
ing to have made the remark which the
Reichsanzeiger now denies that the En-
never said anything to that effect.
The Agrarians do not abandon the hope
or being able 10 undermine Chancellor Won
from the Emperor. The KreuZ Zeitung
makes what is classed as a mean attack
on Chancellor Caprivi for having, as it al
leges, made himself the chief figure before
the public in the Internal machine affair
by only Incidentally mentioning the danger
TO which the Emperor was exposed. II is
founded, and that it will have no effect
the Emperor's mind. Rather than
dispense with Chancellor Won Caprivi. the
Emperor would again dissolve the Reichs-
tag.
GOLDEN SUNDAYS"
Great dissatisfaction reigns in Berlin and
in Prussia generally with the Secretary Of
the Interior on account Of his orders issued
for the observance of the last three Sun
days of December. 1t has been a custom
of the people, and a custom which has
grown through centuries. to make these
three Sundays the chief days for the pur-
chase of Christmas and New Years gifts;
in fact. they were named golden Sum
days" because the money realized upon
these days often equaled the total receipts
of many months of the year. The Sunday
observance law empowers the Secretary OF
the Interior TO suspend the law at his dis
cretion, and he issued permits for the stores
TO close at O'Clock in the evening instead
the press of all shades of opinion, the
tradesmen's societies, the president OF the
police, the Chamber of Commerce and the
Common Council of Berlin petitioned Count
Won Eulenburg TO grant the privilege of
permitting shops to be open until 10 at
night, representing that the very. exist
upon the sales which they make upon these
golden Sundays" So far no reply has
been received, and the Socialists claim that
a persistence in this refusal will drive five
thousand additional voters of Berlin into
the ranks of the Socialist party.
The Hamburger NachTichten, in an article
said to have been inspired from Fried
riohsruhe, Prince Bismarck's residence.
criticised Count Won .~E;ulenburs's secret
ing them to combat the spread of Social
ism. which was published by the Socialist
newspapers, has interesting comment on
the question, stating that it has no faith
in the remedies proposed by the circular,
and adding that the millions of marks in
wages which have been withdrawn from
rkm families by limitation of sun
day labor and by the Limitation of the
work in factories, ETC., of women and chill
dren, have, of course, leSSened their power
of resisting Socialism. Such objects, the
Hamburger Nachrichten continues, are well
worth a struggle to obtain; but they ought
not TO have been enforced to so great an
extent until some substitute was found for
the lost millions of wages adding: las

greatest ally of social democracy is human

The Cologne Gazette says that the EN-
peror has requested all members of his
suite who are conversant with the Incl
dents attending Prince Bismarck's retire
lence upon the subject, and neither TO re-
flute false statements nor answer n at
tacks made upon them in connection with
the retirement of the Prince.
GAMBLING FOR SMALL STAKES.
The Niedershlesische Anzeiger sarcastical-
~ accuses the Emperor of gambling during
his stay at the hunting box of Prince Lich-
nowsky. saying that the Emperor, after
dinner, played the popular game of "skat,"
with Prince Observation-Disclosures and
Prince L~ichnowsky for points which were
fixed at an eighth of a pfennig. The EN-
peror still, according to the newspaper men,
toned, was pursued by constant bad luck
and eventually lost the sum of eighteen
pfennigs. 1t seems that the King of Saxony
is of a much more daring and speculative
turn OF mind. for, it is claimed, ne actually
plays "skat' for the great sum OF one
