Berlin. October 31.—The
German Reichstag Imperial Par-
liament of the whole empire
opened to day. The Emperor
in his speech says Germany’s
foreign relations, notwithstand-
ing the difficulties of the present
political situation, are fully ac-
cordant with the Emperor’s pa-
His constant en-
deavor to preserve friendly re-
lations with all powers, especi-
ally those connected with Ger-
many with lines of neighborhood
and history, so far as peace may
be engendered among such to
preserve it by friendly medita-
tion. Whatever the future may
have in store, Germany may rest
assured that the blood of her
sons will be sacrificed or risked
only for the protection of tier
honor and interests.
Ttoe Situation on tlse East-
ern Question Pacific.

—General Ignat iff, Rusian Am-
bassador, had an interview with

lent impression regarding the

—Michigan has Sunday laws
and Grand Rapids suddenly
waked up to a solemn necessity
ot enforcing them to the letter.
They are vigorous laws and it
Grand Rapids can stand their
operation that city will become'
the Mecca of fanatics. But it is
more likely that all the present
residents will mote away to
some of earths consecrated spots
where they can enjoy the free-
dom of heaven’s sunshine and
air without violating any hitman!
law. The police took a late Sun-
day to make a raid upon the vio-
latefs of the Sunday laws. The
arrests were of those who went
to the poet office to post or re-
ceive mail—forty-four of them;
thirty milk peddle’fs Were nab-
bed and their milk soured on
them; several barbers and the
employes of gas-works were ar-
rested, and also the printers of
two newspapers, the Times and
Deqnoo'at, for working on these
papers after midnight Saturday
nfght. Grand Rapids is full of
malefactors^ It seems that the
police had a hard jeb on that
Sunday, but the law didn’t count
that.

—Some disinterested patriot
at Austin writes the Galveston
News a letter, in which it is said
that Governor Coke has reached,
the very “acme of ingratitude”
iu charging that there existed a
conspiracy in that city to impair
the credit of the State. Coke
is ungrateful because, during
the exciting scene of his first
inauguration as Governor, a
company of Austin boys stood
by him and protected him irom
the menaces of Davis’ minions.
In remembrance of this act of
gallantry on the part of the
Travis Rifles, the Governor of
Texas should quietly submit to
the manipulations of a thieving
ring to rob the State by break-
ing down its credit. Such is
the argument, and it is an iusult
to the noble boys of the Travis
Rifles. Their action was prompt-
ed by patriotism, and they ex-
pected not suGh a reward as this
Austin correspondent of the
News now demands.—Sherman
