Special caDs Despatch % THE Sue.
BERLIN. Sept. 10.-Emperor william has
stirred keen resentment by . speech be
recently delivered ct Breslau. In which
he suggested that pessimists leave the
fatherland and seek a happier country.
The newspapers arc Oiled with hostile
criticism. the strongest protest appearing
In the conservative press. which 10 usually
friendly toward the Government. News-
papers Of this party recall his Majesty's
advice TO grumblers against his policy to
quit the country. leaving the patriots to
assist him in reaching a glorious goal.
and say hat a comparison Of his promises
with the results furnishes abundant Justih-
cation for the growth Of p~essimism.
Tho National ZsituR0 says that the ee-
sentisl cause Of the errors Of the present
Government is It's light hearted optimism.
Il adds that the speech will increase peesi-
mism. The VoLksseitNn0 deplores the
theatrical conduct OF foreign affairs, which,
It says, is responsible for the distrust with
which Germany Is regarded abroad. The
Neueste NdehvichteN says that II all pessi-
mists took the Kaiser's advice his Majesty
would be isolated on his throne. The Post
says hat the political developments Of
recent years give cause enough for pessi-
mism.
Some papers demand hat the Gov
eminent give an oficial Interpretation to
the speech. One or two suggest that the
words must not be read too literally. They
contend. moreover, that the nation does
grumble too much, but on the whole the
criticisms reveal remarkable dissatisfao-
ton with both the foreign and domestic
affairs Of the empire n a determination
not to abandon pessimism on those subjects.
