BERLIN, Dec. 9.-The weeks debate
in the reichstag has added almost moth
ing new to The arguments for OF against
Herr MiqueFs financial measures. The
whole subject had been fully threshed
in hundreds of public meetings before
| hand.
In the general debate Herr MIGUEL
I had to make hard stand. inasmuch as
only decade ago, as burgomaster of
/ Frankfort, he headed petition against
| the taxation of business OH the ex-
change. There is growing agita-
ton against the proposed tobacco du-
ties, and this imperils the taxation
programme scarcely less than the
appropriately of the proposed wine
duties. AS the language of the National
Liberal members i'll the Baden diet
indicates, even Herr Miquel's staunch-
est supporters are not prepared to in
dorse his measures without grave reser-
yations. All the deputies from Southern
Germany and from the Rhine provinces
will add their votes to those of the
Freisinnige and Socialist parties against
an increase of the wine duties.
In fact. it is safe to say that the only
tax which will be adopted intact is the
bourse tax. yielding 100000 marks
yearly the remainder OF the 100000
absolutely required in order to meet the
army bill expenses Will have to be made
up by modified increase of the
duties on tobacco and the high
er-prlced wines. The Christmas
vacation will come before the bourse
bill will be through its committee stage.
This will give ample time 10 renew the
popular agitation against this measure
ana to
INUNDATE THE REICHSTAG
with protests and resolutions. The
house rises on Dec. 10 and meets again
| Oh Jan. 9, 1894.
The coming week will be occupied by
| the Second and third readings of the
commercial treaties and then the Ger
| man and Russian delegates will resume
negotiations with much improved pros
| poets of success since it is seen that
| the reichstag is likely to adopt
| the proposed commercial treaty with
| Russia, and it is now [ expecte
| that the end of January may see the
treaty arranged. The necessity of levy
| ing new taxes is making itself felt, not
only in the empire at large, but also in
| SaXony. Hamburg, and in the small
| principally of SchwarZburg- Sonders-
hansen, where bills for the introduction
| or increase of the income tax have been
| submitted to the respective diets.
The fact that the CentriSts voted In
| favor OF the treaty with Roumanla
| originated in the rumor that the govern
ment had promised to give effect to the
reichstag vote to recall the Jesuits.
| The Associated Press learns that
nothing of the kind occurred. and the
present indications are quite to the con-
| trary. The emperor has congratulated
| the Catholic Prince Fuerstenburg for
| his vote against the repeal of the Jesuit
! law, and distinct movement is begin
| ming to manifest itself in evangelic
| circles against the repeal.
The Conservative party has received
an earnest request from Breslau, APP
| pealing to them to protect the interests
| of the ProtestantS upon the occasion of
| the reading of the bill in the reichstag.

purports to give the views of prom-
| inent cardinal, we'll Informed about the
| affairs of the Jesuits. 1t says that the
| Jesuits regard the vote in the reichs-
tag as only half successful, because
| it was probable that the bundesrath
| would not ratify the vote. Continuing,
the cardinal is quoted as saying: ''For
| the rest, even if readmitted, the
Jesuits could not open schools in
Germany. because liberty of education
| is still nonresident in Prussia. Never
theless, it would be desirable in the in
| terests- of socialist order if JesuitS
should be readulitted and exercise their
beneficial influences against the spread
| of socialism, whose agitatOrs are fam
ming the fire already lighted.
"The JeSults, therefore. contribute to
the contentment of the working classes.
Before their expulsion the Jesuits were
directing cations of the working
classes, which were imbued by
their education with conservative
principles; at the same time the
| to induce employers and the
wealthy classes to show greater solicit
tation for working people by requiring
less amount of work with better salar-
les. 1t is improbable that the readmis-

any effect upon France or Italy. 1t Is
| hardly necessary to have the situation
changed to France, because, in spite of
the decree of March, the government
closes its eyes to the fact that the Jesuits
open schools, and it is impossible in

The report published in the Wurtem-
| burg papers that Minister Moser's re-
| call from Berlin was due to the opposi-
| ton of Premier Mittnacht, or to the
new military convention, is unfounded.
The report is the invention OF particu-
larists, and was circulated in order to
create uneasiness in Southern Germany.
| 1t is possible that desire may exist in
| military circles here for closer assimI-
| lation of the Wurtemburg army with
| that of Prussia, but in the face of the
| already deepening divergence between
| the Northern and Southern states, which
| threatens the stability of the govern
| ment, the present moment would hardly
| be chosen TO force measure that
| would iIritate instead of reconcile the
Southern states.
Wurtemberg is just as jealous as Ba-
| varia of the limited privileges it enjoys
under its military conventions with
Prussia, and if any change is meditated
| it will be restricted to

these differences have been smoothed
