RICHTER and CAPRIVl.
An Exciting Debate in the Ger.
man Reichstag.
THE NEW ARMY BILL RIDIOULED
The Radical Member Charges the
Chancellor with breeding the
Bacilli OF Distrust" - Caprivi's
Vigorous Fight for Power.

DtbtNuSb .
Vigorous Fight for Power.
BERLIN, Dec. 1.-The budget was read
for the first time in the reichstag yester-
day, and lively discussion occurred as
to the proposed provision for the in
creased military expenses which would
be required by the army bill.
Herr Richter's speech was the SEN
sation Of the day, being an incisive reply
to the Chancellor Caprivis attack upon
Bismarck. Herr Richter said that Prince
Bismarck claimed for the chancellor,
when he occupied that Office, the right
to differ from himself, but never had
Prince Bismarck gone SO far in self con-
tradiction as Chancellor Caprivi, who in
1891 had uttered warning against mill
tary pessimism, and who now breeds
the bacilli of distrust and disquiet. The
international situation had not changed
in year. The military strength OF
other powers had not grown more
menacing. Even recruiting in France
and Russia was decreasing.
If Chancellor Caprivi was acquainted
with any new projects of Russia or
France, he ought to have informed the
allies of Germany, but Austria and
Italy were not increasing their armies.
Germany had not lost the military SUI
premacy of hEurope since 1890, because,
in the interest of the European balance,
Germany had never claimed it. If the
triple alliance was of no greater value
to Germany than the utterances of Chan
cellor Caprivi indicated, it was time to
ask whether the triple alliance did not
impose upon Germany greater sacrifices
than it assured benefits. Germany
would best prove its conscious strength
by rejecting the military bill. In the
event of mobilizing being required, Ger
many, Herr Richter added, would as
tonish the world by effecting it in few
hours.
Chancellor Caprivi's Response.
Chancellor Won Caprivi, in replying to
Eugene Richter's attack, spoke with
vigor and earnestness, which evoked re-
peated applause from the right of the
house. Without repeating the argu-
ments of his last weeks speech for the
bill, he addressed himself at once to
Richter's accusation that he was cult
waiting "bacilli of distrust."
He denied that his speech in 1891 was
in conflict with his recent utterances
and pointed out the distinction between
cool and careful preparation for adequate
self defense and the excessive anxiety of
a war scare.
The chancellor is said to realize that
he is fighting for his official life, as evi.
dence accumulates that a dissolution
and appeal to the country in the present
state Of public sentiment would prove
fatal to the governments demands and
to his further lease of power. He will
contest every inch of ground in the pres
ent reichstag and If he fails will proba-
bly, retire at once.
That apprehensions are gathering in
the highest quarters is regarded as

An old, very ob.eryant farmer, once
told me Ia plant very few pot ,ioe- when
the s-c,i cost one dollar bushel In the

very high priced Ia the spring, many
get very enthusiastic about POTATOES; an
