eERMANY's WAR ON SOCIALISM.
Deputy Auer Gives the Emperor Some
Hard Raps on Bis Speeches.

Berlin, Jan. S.-The session of the Reich
stag, which was adjourned over the holi-
days, was resumed to-day. President Won
Levetzow made a very brief address, wish
ing the deputies a happy New Year, after
which the debate on the anti-revolutlon
bill was opened by Herr Auer, social dem
ocrat The speaker said he understood
that the bill had been originally conceived
with the object of ousting Count Caprivi
from the chancellorship. As 1t was now
shaped however, it meant dissolution Of
the chamber in order to obtain Reich
stag which would be subservient to the
government Herr Auer twitted Dr..
Miquel, the Prussian minister of finance,
of having written letter now historic, IN
favor of the Paris communists This, he
pointed to as an instance of the minis
ter's former advocacy Of revolution, which
he now sought to suppress.
Herr Auer held that the bill would fo-
ment a system of agents provocateur like
those employed during a former period of
repression, when paid agents of the police
smuggled copies of the Freiheit into Ger
many and secretly arranged seditous
meetings with a view of making arrests.
He was proceeding to discuss the articles
of the bill seriaum, when he was called to
order by the president who INSISTED that
he should speak to the bill generally and
not specifically. Her Auer resuming, dila-
ted upon the prevailing tendency to make
soldiers different from citizens and to
create a feeling of antagonism between
the military and civilians. There was a
high authority, he said, which seemed TO
think it right to teach the soldier that it
was his duty to observe such implicit obe-
dience as to shoot down his father or
mother at the command of his superior
officers. The soldier, he declared, ought
above all others and above all things to
fnnI hinnen1f a citizen.
