CRITICISED THE EMPEROR.
His Method of Personal Government |
 Not Apprectated.

Not Appreciated.
 Berlin, May 30.-The annual German congress today took occasion to sharp ly criticise Emperor William and the system of personal government.
 Professor Haaz, a former member of the Reichstag, said the best element of the people earnestly wished the Emperor would choose advisors who had the courage to ask him to spend at least half the year at the capital, so that they might daily confer person- ally with him without the intervention of courtiers, and who would have the courage to resign when their advice was disregarded. The professors words evoked great applause.
 A resolution adopted by the congress declares it Is '1mperatively necessary for the political and business interests of the empire to acquire foothold on the Atlantic coast region of Morocco"
 The resolution further declares the congress would regard 1t as irrepara- ble shining against the permanent in- terests of the German people If the im- perial government should miss the op- portunity presented at this moment for lascertaining Germany's claims upon Morocco and establishing permanent foothold."

 When old age comes on, catarrhal dis eases come also. Systemic catarrh fs alr most universal in old people. This explains why Peruna has become so indispensable to old people. Peruna Is their safeguard. Peruna is the only remedy yet devised that meets these cases exactly.
 Such cases cannot be treated locallyi nothing but an effective systemic rem edy could cure them. This is exactly what Peruna is.
