AdJournment
WASHINGTON , Dec. 1G.-The Nicaragua
canal bill holds its place as the unfinished
business on the senate calentr , and the
general understanding appears to be that
It will continue to occupy the attention of
the senate with few interruptions , and
these by consent , unt after a vote Is
taken The bill will come up each day
after the disposal of tile morning business
but It will surrender the place temporarily
on Thursday to permit the ceremonies In
commemoration of Webster and Starke and
tile un\'eilng of theIr statues , which have
been placed In the capitol . There Is ale
I probability that the committee on appro
prIatons may ask consideration for the urgency -
gency deficiency bill toward Lice last of the
week I Is understoO that Senator Cock-
rel , chnlrman of Ihls committee , wi lay
stress upon the Importance of getting this
bill through before the holidays , and that
ho Will ask the committee to l'ass It on
Monday or Tuesta ) ' . There Is little prob-
abIlity. however , that any of the other apProPriation -
propriaton bills will receive the attention
of the senate during the weele.
The disposition among senators Is favorable -
able to an adjournment
on Thursday tsidii
after the Christmas holta"s , but I unt
Ilrobablo that the house will not consent
to this arrangement , and that the adjournment -
mont will be delayed unt Saturday. The
program , therefore , with reference to the
adjournment , so far n one has been arranged -
ranged , Is to adjourn on Saturday the 22d
Instant , until Thursday , the 3(1 of January.
Some senatcrs predict that the final vote ,
on the Nicaragua bill will be reached this
week , but the friends of the bill scarcely
hope for this resuit. They realize that the
precetents of the enato are all against
a conclusIon so speedy on a measure of
such Importance and presentng so many
points for debate ant set speeches , anti
they are also Prepared to encounter opposi-
ton which has not yet taken definite shape.
Senator Caflery's objection to an agreement -
bent for ! vote on the bi on Wenesllay
next Is understood to have been . male upon
constitutional grounds , and It Is -
consttutonal I quite prob-
able that he. ' with several other senators ,
Including Vast , Telor , George and Vilas.
will desire to be heard In opposition to the
measure before It shall be disposed of.
Senator Culcm wi tomorrow open the
speaking for the week with I speech on
this nuestion.
EXCITING WEEK IN THE HOUSE.
This week , the last before the holIday re-
c esO , promises to be an exciting one In the
h ouse. The banking and currency committee
has arranged to bring forward the Carlisle
banking hill , and will tomorrow proffer a re- .
quest to the commlteo on rules for a special
specal
order which Will set aside the remainder of .
the t week beginning on Tuesday , for debate
on the Carlisle bill. with a provision for a
Inal vote on Friday next. The banking
commitee Ct desIre to prolong the sessions so as
to t begin at 1 a. m. and contnue until 10:30 : ,
at night , with a recess from 6 until 8 p. m.
The terms of the special order will be sub-
mited to the committee on rules tom rrOv.
There Is considerable opposition among the
temocrats of the house to the short limit It b
proposed to set upon the debate. Many of
hem feel that a measure InvolvIng such gi-
g antic Interests , contemplating as It does a
r evolution In the entire banking system tos the
country , should not be crowded through In
haste. This feeling Is shared by some of the
most prominent democratic leaders VOf the '
house , 'and It seems a possibility th't' ' the 'I
banking and currency committee wiiI'be over- '
ruled and the special order will then leave
this week to debate , with provIsion for a
fnal vote after the holiday recess ;
Tomorrow the house will take up and tls-
poe or the army appropriation bill.
The adjournment for the holtay recsss wi
probably occur on Saturday. The talk of
contnuing the session without tile customary
recess seems to be based on very slight foun-
d ation. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ slght

consequent Improbability or any action such
as was recomrhended by the president lookIng -
Ing to the repeal or the tuty of one-tenth of

the bounty system , the' future action of the
German government Is beIng awaited with
some apprehension here. The speech of tile
German chancellor In the Relchstag , In
whIch be made I strol point of the discrimination -
crimination Imposed by the United States
toward German sugar , Is believed to Indl-
cato a strengthening of the policy which
that government has adopted directed to the
exclusion or severe restriction upon AmerIcan -
can products sOlsht to be ImportE 1 Into
Germany. At present r\ ' r. Runyon , AmerIcan -
can minister at Derln , I workIng hart to
secure an ameloraton of the stringent order
of exclusion In Ihe case of American cattle
and Secretary Gresham Is In almost daily
consultation wIth the German minister hero
upon the same subject. Up to this time no
appreciable ! degree of success has attended
these efforts of our government , tile character -
actor of the negotIations appearing to Indl-
cato a purpose on the part of the German
government to procrastinate until congress
decisIvely announC03 Its Intention In the
mater of the sugar duty. As long as these
conditions obtain our government Is likely to
walt patenty , but should there bo any
fresh attacks by the Germans upon AmerIcan -
can interests there Is good reason to believe
that the administration will have recouto
to the retaliation act of 1890 and single out
some German artcle , the Importaton of
which Into the \ 'nited States about equals
In volume the normal Amorlcn cattle and
meat trade with Germany , and forbid Its

"The Condiion at SUccessful ConqucsL" For
the basis of Ills remarks the speaker reclcd
1 Ilorton of tile history of the COIIIUCt ( dl
the promised land by the children of Israel
ant threw the conclusion that God hal prom-
Isel to the Christans of this generton just
as great things ns the material bicncslngs
whlel he vouchsafed to tile blesslng .
Hut , as In the former case there was a con-
cn-
diton nUachell ( , and God did not uroiose 10
Ilrolose
give anything that his children were not
ready to receive. What conception the IndivIdual -
vIdual hal of a Christian life would deler-
mine very largely the extent of his bless-
Ings. Some \eoplo regarded religion ns a
great realty , others looked at It as merely
an abstract thery , and still others held I
to b3 simply a thing that would come In at
the gloaming of tim judgment and save them
from being 11llshed for their sIns. Those
who wished 10 ChallIs ! the
promises of God i
must realize their extent all ( value or they
might just as well have never been offered to
them. orered
ReferrIng to Christan service , the preacher
said that constant exertion was an essential
essental
to conquest. He believed In the gospel of
worle. The Lord never dil for Individuals
or congregations that which He intended that
they should to for themselves. Par success-
'ul Christian servIce there must always be a
direct purpose In view , all a form and meth-
o of work by which to accomlllsh this pur-
p000.

The greater portion or the time or the last
meepng of the Omaha Central Labor union
was taken up In considerIng the entertain-
meat or Mr. John Burns and Mr. Holmes
during their stay In Omaha. The committee
appointed on arrangements has secured
securet
Washington hall , where the visitors will
speale tomorrow evenlug. The Omaha worko
Ing people belonging to labor organizations
regard Mr Burns as one of the greatest men
In the world , and all are delighted at havIng -
lag an opportunity 10 see and hear him.
I Is believed by many that the visit of
Burns to America will have the effect of
greatly encouraging the American workingmen -
men In using the ballot as a means of
righting the many admitted wrongs 10 labor.
During their Hay In America Messrs. Burns
and Holmes wIll visit several of the population -
lon centeis , where they will meet and tall
with thousands of America's toilers.

The "sliding sCle" Is 1 labor question
that Is not very generally understood outside
of circles generally Interested In Its workings
ant effects . This subject Is probably best
explained by Mr. M. Id. Garland , president of
Amalgamnted Association 01 Iron and
Steel Workout , who says :
"Slllug scales , as they have been termed ,
are In our estmalon a step In advance of
any s'stem now In general use. The wages
of the Iron and steel workers have been based
on and determined by this plan for twrnty-
eight years , and In fact the Iron and steel
workers dams to be the
caim originators of the
sliding scab system. ! As n test of Its om-
clency , when fair employer are concerned , I
recall sore of the most successful firms In
the Iron and steel trade oo'k.s , have been Ireat-
lag wih labor In this way ( luring nil that
period ; or time and who partclpate,1 , In draw-
ing up the conditions or the Irst eliding wage
scale Sluce the time of the find adoption by
the Iron and steel workers new features have
hon introduced from time to time , just as I
was necessary to perfect the system to new
conditions arising. Under this system of a
slding scale a rate or wages Is agreed upon for
each position ! to be covered hy the scale , and
tllrn a seling price for the material Is selected -
lected as being a air mlnlmul prIce while
that particular rate or wages Is paid. A
percentage of advance In the selling prIce
of material Is then listed a requiring a slight
percentage ot advance In the wages of the
len In the several Jusltons , Tile ratios of
advance In wages are thus listed wih the
advance In materIal unt the probable highest
figure the material will sell at haa been
reached. A corresponding reduction In wageb
I agreed to aB the material recedes In selling
II rice. Hut a minimum IJrlce Is agreed upon )
as representng a stollllJng Jolnt In lIsa de-
clime of wages , and although tbe employer Is
free to sell his materIal below the minimum
be Is not Jermlted a reduction II wages be-
loW , Certainly there can be no plan pro.
Josed to the average mind that bears a more
equitable IJhase than that when Ihe price of
materIal or goods goes uJ the laborer's Ilrlce
should advance lS well . One of the chief
advantages of the eliding scale system Is tile I
brInging together of employer and employe3 I
In conference and discussion of trade , dutIes ,
conditions , Ilrospcts and ablJy to pay a
fair wage. The many IntrIcacies and details
at Ute sliding eeale require tul Investigation
into sill these points and many otben. Arer
all , It Is the getting together or employer and I
employes with' fair Intention that cultivates I
reason and conciliation on both aides. We
are loath to believe the oft-repeated aserton
of capital and labor bJng at war , hut the
greateretrangers they continue the more one
Is convinced that the other 11 antagonistic bit
it . Hands cannot be clasped that are not
extended , and companions are not made of r
peoPle who never meet. This sliding seals
system has found favor among numerous
trades and lies roved a yery Interetng ;
I
feature In unlonsm. : Perhaps the chief gain
of basing wages on the marllEt value of an
artcle as produced consists In its acting as a
strong Incentive 10 worllmen 10 keep close
