BERLIN, Nov. 18.-(Copyrighted, 1893,
by the Associated Press.) The opening
OF the reichstag would have passed in
the usual way but for the military sur
roundings. For the first time in the
history OF Prussia the oath of allegiance
was administered to the troops in body
in the most impressive manner. While
there is no coincidence between the two
events, still the emperor's pointed in
junction to the recruits that it is their
duty to protect him against enemies at
home as we'll as abroad, is very signiti-
cant.
The fight in reichstag begins Monday.
The commercial treaties with Spain,
Servia and Roumania would in them
selves hardly give occasion for the de-
velopment OF bitter feeling, but they
move in that direction. The Agrarian
party noted with dismay that the speech
from the throne holds out the hope of a
satisfactory treaty with Russia, and the
Agrarian league has grown with such
giant strides that its opposition becomes
formidable. The Conservatives will
make the best of the first chance they
find to place difficulties in the way OF
the chancellor.
The commission for an investigation
into the operations of the bourse has
concluded its lsbors and sent report to
chancellor Won Caprivi. The report
proposes to establish register of all
items and persons engaged in operations
on time. This Is to be published in the
official gazette, and failure to register
will virtually make time trades illegal.
1t is thought auch register will impair
the credit of firms INDUCING in time
speculations, but as evasion of the pro-
posed legislation will not be difficult,
the chief effect of the proposed reform
would be to clog business.
Essen reports that the scarcity of
business at the Krupp works was never
80 great as now. Hands at the famous
gun works are being dismissed in all
departments, and there seems to be no
prospect of any revival Of business.
The press is full Of sympathetic ar
ticles for the death Of Count Harenau
(Prince Alexander Of Battenburg), who,
though not q great politician, showed
signs of successful military career.

the principles, mo taxation without
representation"
A. O. Searle was the second speaker in
the affirmative. He reviewed the nu-
merous objections raised against the
adoption Of the educational qualification.
The educated persons would vote intel
ligently, and represent the honest
opinion OF the country. The illiterate
people would be disfranchised, and thue
the purchasable vote would be abol-
ished; the one men power would dieap.
pear, and bosses would have no material
with which to work. Az educational
qualification would thus cure many
evils now existing.
II. f, Ward seconded Mr.. Caswell in
the negative. He followed the line of
argument that the educational qualifica-
tion would not introduce other evils,
but thatit would fail as remedy for
the existing evils. There are two evils
menacing our nation life, the frat being
the ignorant voter, that ie, the one ig-
ncrant OF the rudiments OF an educa-
tion, but this is not the real ignorant
voter. The real ignorant voter is one
who is ignorant of the principles of
our national life. To vote intelligently
does not require text book education.
He referred to the rs per cent OF politi-
cal 'stay at homes" as the ignorant
voters. The educational qualification,
with respect to foreigners, would be use
less, since our naturalization laws
covered that.
THE great menace to our national
life is the venal or 4oruupt
voter" Ignorance is not the cause OF
this appalling evil. 'Is the poor fell
low who sells his vote any worse than
the agent who buys?" II the one pur-
chased can't read. you may depend upon
it that the purchaser can. If educa-
tional qualification ie necessary to stop
bribery it must be applied to state leg
islatures, and perhaps our president
himself may need little education to
stop his appointment of future Van
Aliens, who contribute to campaign
funds. The ballot inspires education.
Each speaker was allowed minutes
in which to reply to his opponents ar
guments, but no new points were
brought out.
Miss A. L. Murphy, the university
professor OF elocution, rendered most
realistically The Debating Club.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18. 8.-Senator Nor
gan, chairman of the committe on

press his opinion on the Hawaiian stu

in an interview, on account of the fact
that the status was in no way changed.
Being pressed to state his views upon
the rumor reported from Honolulu that
Willis had taken new annexation
treaty with him for negotiation with
the provisional government, he said he
did not believe it to be true. but de-
clined to give his reasons for this view.
