DIARY OF THE EMPEROR.
GERMANY GREATLY STIRRED UP
OVER THE PUBLICATION.
The Real Greatness of the Dead Mon
arch Brought Into Prominence—Some
Sensational Disclosures On the
Events at Versailles After the
Franco-German War.
Copyright 1888 bv the New York Associated Press.
Berlin, Sept, 22.— The publication of
Emperor Frederick’s diary is everywhere
recognized as an event of the greatest
national importance. Official and political
circles, however, that are intimately versed
in the innermost history of the construc
tion of the German empire, have been
astounded by the publication, whilst the
whole German people aro stirred to their
very depths by revelations which show
the real greatness of the deceased Emperor
Frederick, his influence in creating the em
pire, and his noble acts for its future. Ex
tracts from the diary were communicated
to the Dutescher Erundcschau through
the Baden statesman, Baron von Roggen
bach, who was long an intimate friend of
the late emperor, and was much with him
during his illness at San Remo.
WITH EMPRESS VICTORIA S ASSENT.
Baron Roggenbach it seems had the as
sent of Empress Victoria to the publication
of the extracts, but neither Prince Bismarck
lmr the present Emperor William was con
sulted. It is therefore thought probable
that the publication will have some start
ling results as affecting the personages con
cerned in the revelations.
It is significant that the North German
Gazette, (Prince Bi -marck’s organ) has not
yet mentioned the diary.
The National Zeitung complains of the
indiscretion of the publication, as shown in
the selection of passages, and says it was
obviously not intended by Emperor Freder
ick that they shoul 1 ever be made public.
It instances the revelation that at Versailles
there was much friction between the em
peror (then crown prince) and Prince Bis
marck over the declaration of the existence
of the German empire, that Prince Bis
marck dra.ted a letter in which the King
of Bavan- is made to appear as having
reluctantly invited King William of Prus
sia to assume imperial dignity, and that in
October of 1870 Prince Bismarck informed
the grand duke of Baden of his determina
tion to wage persistent war against the
papal doctrine of “infallibility,” and to
otherwise assail the influence of the Catholic
church in Germany.
ALLEGED EFFECT.
It is argued that a disclosure of the nature
of this last revelation is alike wanton aud
impudent, and will tend to revive the
Slumbering fires of the kulterkampf again
and to direct the rage of the clericals
against Prince Bismarck as the sole origin
of the policy of repression of the Catholics.
Another of these indiscreet revelations is
pointed out to be the statement of the de
ceased emperor that during the negotia
tions at Versailles it was proposed to pro
claim as king of France Leopold 11.,
King of the Belgians. This, said he,
would be in favor of the scheme
if it implied a union of Belgium
with France. The diary does not
state the reason for the abandonment of the
proposal, but the French people will accu
rately surmise that Prince Bismarck’s
project to create a Franco-Belgian mon
arctiy implied disruption of .France into
several states and the acquisition by
Belgium of the northern provinces. The
project is certain of revival if France should
be crushed in the coming war.
The most touching feature of the diary is
the evidence of the unfailing kindness of
Crown Prince Frederick's disposition and
his diffidence of character.
HIGH SOULED DEALINGS.
Referring to the attitude of England after
the German iriuuiph was assured, he writes
on Oct. 2: “The queen, who follows our
actions with toucuing sympathy, tele
rraphed to the king exhorting him to
lgh—oulod dealings concerning Jules
Favre’s offers for peac:. She has,however,
no practical suggestions to make.
She wrote a note to Prince Bismarck con
cerning Ihe position of our press toward
England. Prince Bismarck replies, saying
tnat he regets the language of the press
and that he has sent instructions to Berlin
accordingly.
Commenting on the fact that each side
appealed to heaven in its own behalf, there
occurs on Dec. 25 tho following entry: "It
is really a piece of irony on the messages of
good will that each party calls on 1 tod to
aid its righteous cause. In every success
we inclire to prove by it the support of
heaven against our opponents.”
NOBLENESS OK THE MAN.
The last entry before the return to Ger
many displays the nobleness of man:
‘'March 8, calm. When I see my endeavors
to help the oppressed acknowledged by
Germany aid her neighbor, and that ti e
iieople are gaining confidence in my future,
feel quite happy. Moral earnestness and
political convictions can only lie the result
of inward maturity, of inward struggles
which must be continued daily aud for
which one’s self is responsible.”
While the semi-official press condemn the
publication, the progressist, papers are
pleased. The Vossische Zeitung calls the
diary a political legacy, deserving to be
treasured by the German people and to be
a touchstone for polities in tho future.
These brief memoranda are worth more to
history, it says, than many a sovereign’s
entire reign.
“Had nothing become known of these
notes, says the Vienna Freie Freese, “hut
Emperor Frederick’s simple declaration
that his uppermost thought after peace was
obtained is how the liberal development of
German}’ is to lie carried out, that alone
would stamp the noble character of the
prince. A cruel fate prevented the carry
ing intoeffectof theenlighleucdprogramme
of the government.”
To-night’s issue of Ihe Boerseng Zeitung
Is authority for a statement to tho effect
that in 1878 Crown Prince Frederick
William caused twelve copies of the diary
to bo taken by copper-plate process and pre
sented copies to persons specially enjoving
his confidence, requesting the n eipients to
take particular care not to permit the diary
to be published until fifty veais
should have elapsed. At his death
the plates were destroyed. The paper
refrains from placing the responsibility for
the publication of the diary upon any'one,
but it is an open secret that Baron Roggen
bach is responsible for its appearance.
THE CONFERENCE.
During the conference lietween Prince
Bismarck and Count Kaluoky, Herr von
ISchlosser, tho Prussian envoy to the vati
can, was summoned to Friedricksruhe.
Nothing has transpired as to how
the count received Prince Bis
marck’s proposal for a settlement of
the quirinul-Vatican dispute. The pope’s
action in summoning Strassmayer to Rome
is an indication of an Austrian ug, cement
to support Prince Bismarck’s projsjsal giv
ing extended privileges to the Vatican. An
Unusual stream of visitors went from Ham
burg to Fi iedriekaru he, hoping ttjcatch a
glimpse of the statesmen.
The villages of Bergedorf and Erie lricks
ruhe were crowded with numerous foreign
tourists.
Prince Bismarck was not seen except at
bis meeting with Count Kalnoky at the
railway station.
EMPEROR WILLIAM’S TRIP.
On Friday the emperor will start for a
▼isit to the Duke of Baden, at his summer
residence on the island of Hainan, where he
will meet tho Dowager Empress Augusta.
He will afterwards go to Munich and
Vienna. His presence in Vienna thi eatens
to be attended by an embarrassing demon
stration by tho German and anti-semitic
partisans of the German group in tho lower
bouse of the diet. The German members
pf the Vienna municipal council are ar
ranging for a torchlight procession
in the emperor’s honor, and
it is proposed that he shall
receive deputations from the German com
munities throughout Austria-Hungary.
The Austrian authorities rightly fear that
trouble will arise in consequence of bands
of Pan-Germanists parailing the streets,
singing German national songs and flaunt
ing the German flag. The Frcmdenblatt
announces thedecision of the authorities to
suppress any exhibition by any fac
tion without Austrian sentiment.
Emperor William, the paper says,
will find the people and their sovereign
united among themselves, and respecting
the alliance as necessary to both empires.
Russia’s ruler in Poland.
The czar’s unexpected appearance in Po
land, amid the troops concentrated toward
the Galician frontier, has caused excite
ment in Austrian circles, His pres
ence, however, has not been ac
companied by any movement of
troops. The Moscow press says that the
journey to Poland had been long arranged,
the czar desiring to sojourn for some time
among the troops on the western frontier
before starting for the Caucasus.
His presence is a reminder that the
war cloud has not dispersed. An
other reminder is the Germau-Russian war
dictionary issued from the state printing
office at Vienna and distributed among the
Austrian ami Gerrtym armies. It gives
dialogues in Polish gnd Russian r dating to
necessary objects, Tfcquuzju during cam
paign, especially requisitions for prov.sions,
and to all the ssgns used in Russian military
maps. Tho botlc has created a .~uM.ti’'t* ia
Russia.
The Berlin police will ins 11 teas u nctfjii
against Herr Kinnert, the socialist ®r
of the municipal council who, ut Thortday’s
meeting of that body, opp<,sd a motion to
place a bust of the emperor in tho munici
pal chamber. In a heated speech, Herr
Kinnert declared that he represented the
republicans or anti-monarchists, the
most numerous party in Berlin,
and therefore could not assent to
glorify the protection of the capitalistic
Bourgerzes class. This vaa met cieb ar es
of “fool,” "imbecile." Continu'ng, <e
said: “We have on our fide jus ice and
knowledge of the wants of * p-r'-p’.c. Wu
have force arid routines.”
An uproar closed the sitting.

the new registration law, which requires
the payment of all past due poll and pro
fessional taxes.

about 85 years old, and a native of Union
county, announces herself as a candidate
for school commissioner of that county.
Miss Garner was a candidate at the Demo
cratic primary election for the nomination,
but she only got forty votes. She has de
cided to bolt the Democratic ticket, and
will run as an independent. The republicans
will have no county ticket in the field, and
may rally to her support. She is connected
with one of the oldest and wealthiest fami
lies in the county. She has abundant
means, and announces that if elected she
will devote the salary and emoluments of
the office to the purchase of text books for

the Rock Springs Miners.
Cheyenne, Wyo. TANARUS., Sept. 21.—Two men
en route to Washington territory overland
Stopped at Rock Springs, Sweetwater
county, Wyoming, yesterday to purchase
supplies. They became intoxicated and en
gaged in a saloon brawl with coal miners.
One of the strangers drew a six-shooter and
emptied it into the crowd. Dick Davis was
instantly killed and Puilip Shaffer and
Daniel Harrison wounded. After the shoot
ing the strangers jumped into their wagon
and drove rapidly away. Two officers
who followed on foot were fired upon
bv the immigrants. In the exchange of
shots one strauger was wounded and both
of their horses killed. The men were
arrested. The miners tried to take the
prisoner* from the officers while en route to
jaii. There is every probability that
the men will be lynched. Rock Springs
was the scene of the Chinese riot. The
element which led the slaughter of the
Chinamen still predominates there.

THE NEWS FROM EFFINGHAM.
The Elkins Bridge Swept Away—Get
ting Up a Display for tfce Stats Fair.
The Elkins landing bridge over tho Ogee
chee river has been swept away. Most of
the timbers, however, can be picked up
near by, and the bridge rej>aired at a small
cost, compared to building anew one, aDd
an effort will be maui to get an appropria
tion from the counties of Effingham and
Bulloch for that purpose. The bridge is
almost indispensable to the two counties.
“Effingham,” said a Guy (onion yesterday,
“is out of debt, with a good sum m her
treasury, and it is to be hoped chat the
commissioners will show tome liberality in
making their public highways secure.
There >s not a county in Georgia with fewer
bridges to keep up. The commissioners
>jeo<t a little more public spirit to meet the
growing importance and demands of the
county.
The agricultural society of Guyton held a
meeting to-day, and decided to make an ex
hibit at tho state fair. Effingham has never
been fully represented by a display of its pro
ducts, and as there is a disposition to muke
one this year, it is expected that it will be a
representative display. It is estimated by
some of the best farmers, that Effingham
has between 400 and 500 acres in sugar cane
this year, and the yield will be very satis
factory. One gentleman of experience and
observation, says that be knows of acres of
sugar cane that will yield enough this year
to net the owner all the way from $75 to
#l5O per acre. Where is the county, he
wants to know, that can beat that.
Prof. Druckenmiller, who delighted the
Guytouians with the children's jubilee lost

Supt. R. E. Cobb of the Coast Line rail

last week, took quarters at the Lanier.
Perry M. Adams of the firm of Lloyd &

Miss Bailie Lawrence, daughter of Dr.
J. G. Lawrence, has beon elected assistant

school. She has had some experience as a

for the position.
Col. Morgan Rawls, Effingham’s repre
sentative to-be, aud wno is taking a decided
interest in the effort to get up a display of
the products of his county at the state fair,
says that while some persons think Effing
ham ought to be ranked nmong the “poor
counties” of the state, it is far from it. It
produces a variety of crops and is very fer
tile. Cotton, both long and short staple,
sugar cane, corn, potatoes do well there,
and a great deal of rough rice is one of the
products. He thinks that If the agricult

COVERING FOR COTTON.

The Georgetown Rica Crop.
The Georgetown (S. C.) Inquirer in its
last issue says that the ric9 crop in that
section will not be more than one half to
three-fourths its usual crop. The flood had
not reached there then. “A great many
acres of the rice” it adds, “are lying on the
stubble, and the excessive moisture is caus
ing much of it to rot and sprout. Antici
pating the freshets, which are expected to
reach the plantations. The planters have
been taking in their rice in spite of the
rain, preferring to save it oven in its wot
condition rather than lose it altogether. It
is said that nearly the entire crop of Juno
rice on the Hantee, Black and Foe-Dee
rivers will be destroyed, as it is in that
stage of growth which renders it peculiarly
susceptible of injury from being topped. It
is believed that most of the plantations on

TRAVELS OP A REFUGEE.
A Young Savannahian Goes to Hender
sonville and from There Starts
Home.
Augusta stopped a Hendersonville refugee
bound for Savannah Friday night. The
Augusta reporters describe her as a young
looking woman with a dark brown and
white polka dot skirt, light and red-striped
waist, blue silk handkerchief around her
neck, and a tall black straw hat, trimmed
with an ostrich feather.
She had hardly set foot in Augusta before
she was picked up by the police and given
in charge of the board of health. To the
health officer she told the following story:
, “Two months ago she married W. F. Lar
man, an engineer of Savannah. Shortly
after her marriage she went to Jackson
ville to visit her husbaud’s mother. While
there the yellow fever broke out and she
went to Camp Perry on Aug. JO. She stayed
there eleven days. On Sept. 14 she left
Camp Perry for Hendersonville, and left
there Friday, her money having run short.
Her husband got her a ticket from Hender
sonville to Savannah via Columbia and
Augusta, and she set out for home. She
succeeded in getting as far as Augusta.
She left there yesterday for Savannah. Her
mother, she said, is here.

Is It Advisable ?
Savannah, Ga., Sept. 23. Editor
Morning News: It is reported that the
cases of fever at Jackson, Miss., have been
caused by some recent excavations there,
and 1 now ask if it is prudent at this season,
to preparo Liberty street for the asphalt
pavement? It is true that the Tfnrth is very
little disturbed in putting in the curbing
and catch basins, but even that should not
be permitted before Nov. 1, especialy at
this time, when our chief aim is to avoid
anything that may affect the health of the
city adversely, and I hope the work will be
stopped. Your influence would do much
toward this, and I beg that you will exert
it for our general good. J.

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
Trinity Sunday School, I
Savannah. Ga. , August 26th, 1888. (
The committee to whom was assigned the sad
duty of taking some action in regard to the
death of o ir young brother, George W. Cham
bers, who died on the 17th August, inst., beg
leave to submit the following:
When the Great Husbandman comes into his
garden and takes up cne of the choicest plants,
or plucks from its stem a rare flower, just
opening into fragrance and beauty, there comes
to the heart of the beholder a sense of loss; but
tbe sigh that would follow is repressed by the
fact that the Husbandman has transferred the
plant to a more congenial soil for a higher
development. He has plucked from its stem
that rare flower, because of his appreciation of
w .Our young brother departed this life on
r riday afternoon, 17th inst., nineteen years of
a s'e His funeral took place in Trinity Church
on Saturday afternoon, the service being con
ducted by Brothers J. L. Gilmore and Richard
\Vebb. He was a member of Mrs. E. L. Neid
imger s class, and was also a member of Trinity
Church.
As we stood beside his mother and his Sunday
school teacher and looked atthe beautiful form
of the dead boy, how could we refrain from
weeping? And yet wo felt it was sweet to die
> n 1 springtime of life, before worldly cares
had scarred the heart ana corrugated the brow,
, and we felt that nothing could induce that
freed spirit, saved, rotted, crowned in the pres
ence of his blessed redeemer, to return to earth
again.
1. Resolved, That in behalf of Trinity Sunday
school we extend our heartfelt sympathy to his
bereaved mother, and pray that our Heavenly
lather may so reveal to her heart by his Holy
Spirit the wisdom of his course in taking from
her embrace her darling boy, that she may be
enabled humbly to submit and calmly say, ‘ 'Thy
will be done.”
2. Resolved, That as Christian workers we
will keep before us the example of his Sabbath
school teacher, through whoso direct and per
sonal efforcs he was brought to unite with the
churcn of Christ and make a profession of faith
in his name. Let the salvation of the young be
our great aim.
3. Resolved, That a copy of this report be
furnished his mother, and that a page in our
record book be enclosed to his memory.
