Berlin, Feb. 23.-Emperor William,
replying to a toast proposed by Herr
Aschenbach, minister of state, at the
annual banquet in connection with the
opening of the diet of Brandeburg to-
night said that the sentiments of loyal
ty expressed by the Brandeburgers
were q comfort and a prop TO him in
bis thorny office. These sentiments
testify moreover the confidence in their
emperor, a confidence which implies
their willing cooperation with the sup
port to the crown What, however,
would most tighten his task would DE
The resolution Of a whole nation to
range itself on the side Of the father
of the people He urged his people to
give him active help in the considera-
ton OF the questions which at present
Occupy public attention. These ques-
lions related chiefly 10 the relative
position which huSbandry is TO hold in
respect to other classes. He had indict-
ID in recent utteranceS how these QueS-
tons were TO be dealt with. He hoped
with ali his heart that some permanent
Improvement might be achieved. lie
would work toward that end with all
his strength but he earnestly warned
the country not to entertain any eX-
travagant hopes of any dream of Uto-
pia. No particular class could claim
any special privileges at the expense
of other classes. The task OF the coun-
try's ruler was to carefully weigh the
interests OF all classes and to harmo-
nize them so that the general interests
Of the fatherland as whole would be
safely guarded.
INVOKES FREDERICK SHADE
In conclusion the emperor said that
the Iustre of the age of Frederick still
rests upon today. He desires that the
recollection of that earnest, simple
minded man. Frederick, should remain
all that cooperation between a prince
and his people is a safe augury of sue
cess.
On the evening of the twenty-fifth
anniversary Of the restoration and the
new constitution of the United Father
land, he hoped his hearers would re-
member that only the joint work of all
the German races and their princes
had built up the empire He said:
The glory gained by the Brandenburg-
er's is imperishable. Especially to be
remembered are their deeds on the 9th
Of August In memory of that day and
with the old cry with which the armed
forces Of Berlin have followed the Ho-
fenzollerps into many combat Once

glass and empty it. Fare you well, my
Brandenburgers."

text OF this important resolution was
as follows:

change as a fundamental injury to the
entire economic life of Germany, against
which a too loud and energetic protest
cannot be raised.
The committee recommends that
