BERLIN, Dec. 9.-The weeks debate
in the reichstag has added almost moth
ing new to the arguments for or against
Herr Miquel's financial measures. The
whole subject had been fully threshed
in hundreds of public meetings before
hand. ca-
In the general debate Herr MIGUEL
had to make,a hard stand, inasmuch as
only decade ago, as burgomaster of
Frankfort, he headed petition against
the taxation of business on the eX-
change. There is a growing agfta-
tion against the proposed tobacco du-
ties, and this imperils the taxation
programme scarcely less than the
unpopularity of the proposed wine
duties. As the language of the National
Liberal members in the Baden diet
indicates, even Herr MiQuePs 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 37,000,e00 marks
yearly the remainder OF the 56,000,000
absolutely required in order to meet the
army bill expenses Will have to be made
up by a modified increase Of the
duties on tobacco !, and the high
er-prlced wines. The Christmas
vacation will come before the bourse
bin will be through its committee stage.
This will give ample time 10 renew the
popular agitation against this measure

with protests aid resolutions. The
house rises on Dec. I5 and meets again
on 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 expected
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 en- pire at large, but also in

submitted to the respective diets.
The fact that the Centrists voted III
favor OF the treaty with Roumania
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 eyangelic
circles against the repeal.
The Conservative party has received
an earnest request from Breslau, ap-
pealing to them TO protect the Interests
of the ProtestantS upon the occasion of
the reading of the bill In the relchstag.

the church and fatherland might be in
VOWED by the readmission of the JeS-
uitS. A private dispatch from Rome
purports to give the views of PROM
inent cardinal. well 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 non-eXistent in Prussia. Never
theleSS, it would be desirable in the in
terests of socialist order, if Jesuits
should be readmitted and exercise their
beneficial influences against the spread
of socialism, whose agitatorS are fam
ming the fire already lighted.
1.-The JesuitS, therefore. contribute to
the contentment of the working classes.
Before their expulsion the Jesuits were
directing congregations of the working
classes, which were imbued by
their education with conservative
principles: at the same time the
JeSuitS' influence would be able
TO induce employers and the
wealthy classes 10 show greater solici-
tation for working people by requiring
q less amount of work with better salar-
les. 1t is improbable that the readmis-
sion OF the jeSuitS to Germany will have
any effect upon France or Italy. 1t Is
hardly necessary to nave the situation
changed 10 France, because, in spite of
the decree of March, the government
closes its eyes 10 the fact that the Jesuits
open schools, and it is impossible in
Italy, where the Masons still

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-
larlStS. and was circulated i'll order to
create uneasiness in Southern Germany.
1t is possible that desire may exist in
military circles here for closer aSsimI-
1atiOn of the Wurtemburg army with
that of Prussia, but in tine 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 10 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

Minister MOser appears to be the VIC
tim of differences Of opinion between
Stuttgart and Berlin for which he is in
no way responsible. 1t is asserted that
these differences have been smoothed
over aud that with the appointment of a
successor to Minister Moser the matter
is ended.
