BERLIN, Dec l3.-The Reicbssag has adj
journed for the Christmas recess. 1t will
resume its sittlngs Jan. II It's debates, like
those OF the Landtag, arc losing their Bit
terness and keen enmity toward the govern
ment which were won't TO characterize
them during the Bismarck regime. The
discussion of the budget before it was re-
mitted to the committee, in which tho
party leaders figured, illustrated the change
in the style. Herr Bebe, in an impss-
stoned yet moderate speech, drew a somber
picture Of the misery Of the peasants under
the present policy Of protection which en-
riches the great landlords at the expense OF
the poor consumers. Herr Bebol contended
that IL was untrue that protection aided the
small farmer, ard declared thnt the large
cutivatUr and rent receiving landlords
were the only ones benefited A
high tariff on cereals and CATTLE he asserted,
proilted only the rich landholder ald i'm
ulace emigrated in masses into the tDwas,
THUS Increasing the nissry, crime and dis
affection ia the crowded centers OF po2ula-'
tion.
THE MILITARY CREDITS.
Herr Richter attacked the military cred
its, declaring that 1t was needless to main
tain the present expenditures in view Of the
peace that now prevails In Europe and the
fact tnat no power was menacing Germany.
MAN WITHOUT RELIGION A BEAST.
Herr Windthorst defended the governs
menrs aRrarlan and colonial policies, and,
denied that the missries which Herr BeheL
depicted were due TO the existing lawR lt'
was social morals, he declared, and not tie
organization of society that was responsible
for the evils affecting tho people. The re-
former ought to aim to purify aud fortify
society through religion.
The man VINO could be said 10 be without
religion was only a beast. The speaker was
interrupted st this point by the socIalisH
members with cries OF "What was Fredsr-
ick tho Create "If Frederick were living
now" replied Herr Windthorst. ''you
would not be here" Ht which remark the
members laughed.
THE TREATY WITH AUSTRIA.
Herr Bamgergsr made practical speech,
in which he attacked the projected treaty
with Austria, sayiag he was opposed TO 1t IL
IL involved diherential tariff. Chancellor
Won Caprivl did notify to refute Herr Bam-
lug himself with saying that he
could not discuss the treaty ques-
tLoa pending negotiations. The fact is,
| be said, that the conferences In regard to the
| treaty which ara being held in Vienna are
| coming TO nothing, and are about TO be ad-
journed until February, with probability
that they will never be resumed. The tive
renew the existing treaty.
wINDTHoRsr's ouANsE OF FRONT.
Herr Wiudthorst's present thorough~
going support of the government is due TO-
his relations with Chancellor Won Caprivii
in regard TO the religious orders.
The Bundesrath has refused TO approve
the resolution adopted by tho Reichssag, by
which theological students are permitted TO
pass the last six moltbs Of their army
service in hospital work.
RECALL OF THE JEsUITs.
The centerists consider that this refusal
indicates that the Bundesrath will not pass
a measure Cor the recall OF the Jesuits un-,
loss Chancellor Won Caprivi uses the whole
Of his influence with the government TO
support their demands.
The socialists In the Rsichstag will re-
organize their group under committee
composed Of Herrsn Bebel, Meisler andt
singer. Eacn member " t1e group nlusU
submit TO the control OF the committee.
Here, as elsewhere, the party shows its senss
OF the necessity Of perfect organization.
The conservative members OF the Reich-
| stag have established bureau under
Hsrren Manteuffol, Hodorf. Kiist and
| Windmann.

THE SCHOOL SYSTEM.
The recent speech Of Emperor William
upon the educational system has had a
marked effect upon the school methods.
The school reform committee has
voted unanimously to substitute
modern for ancient languages in all
! the lower classes In places where
there are only gymnasia, and also to make
such a change ia the present system OF real
schulen and high middle class schools as
will enable the course to bs continued in the
upper real schnlen. In Hamburg the town
council has decided TO establish a higher
middle class school in accordance with the
emperor'5 ideas.
