there were large libraries accessible to the

A book possessed no attractions for the man

the new observation-disclosures any longer to enforce,
and practically sets aside "The instruction
"of the Roman Catholic youth must be in ac-
"eOrdaDce with the Roman Catholic religion.
"The Bishops have the power to restrain the
faithful from reading perniciOus books. Cases
"of the Canon law, especially marriage affairs,
"belong to the ecclesiastical courts. Church
and State will work together for the sup
"pression of books against religion and morals"
A comparison of these extracts from the Con-
cOrdat with the new laws at once shows that,
although the latter do not yet carry out
the principle of separation between Church
aud State, they tend toward a restriction of
the power of the Bishops and of the Church
to those who of their own accord submit to
the teachings of the Church. The new laws
do not interfere with the right of the
Bishops of denOuncing all books contrary
to the Catholic religion, of establishing
free Catholic schools, of solemnzing only such
marriages as fulfill all the conditions imposed
by the Church but they deny that the Bishops
may claim the assistance of the State Govern
ment for the compulsory execution of these
principles against any Austrian citizen who
refuses to recognize them.
The complaints of the Pope against Austria
are two-fold. In the first place. he insists
that the COncOrdat of 1855 is treaty bind.
ing both parties, and which can be repealed
only by mutual consent This theory is de-
MED both by the representatives of the people
and the present Cabinet of the Emperor,
who insist that in a constitutional monarchy
any treaties of this kind, to be valid, re-
anre the assent of the Legislature.
- S oooIoe;oet;ori ronolties
But the threat or VVV'Ns.s~,s.V.. Vo--.----.
against all Austrians who may approve of these
laws indicates that the latter are regarded at
Rome, not only as violating treaty, but as ylo-
lating sacred rights of the Church. Thus the
Pope enters with another of the prominent
Catholic nations into the old controversy,
whether the medieval theory of the sovereignty
of the Church over all State Governments, and
the superiority of the ecclesiastical over the
civil law, is right, and can still be enforced.
The majority of the priests are likely to work
in the interest of the PapaI theory, but the
Austrian people at barge are almost unit in
repudiating it, In the Lower House Of the
Rechsrath hardly half dozen members, and
among the political papers hardly one out OF
twenty, supporS the views Of the Pope. Whether
the threats of the Alocus5On will produce any
ciasge in public opinion is very doubtful

The bill introduced by Senator POmeroy
transferring the Bureau of Indian Affairs from
the Department of the Interior to the War
Department and directing that the duties
thereof he hereafter performed by the Com
missioner of Refugees Freedmen, and Aband'
Oned Lands, is admirably adapted to inaugur-
ate a judicious and much needed reform in tho
management of our Indian affairs. Gen. How
ard whose management of the Freedmens
Bureau has been at once vigorous and efficient
yet blameess, is just the officer TO take charge
of our Indian affairs. His administration would
be characterized by vigor fidelity, industry, aud
humanity, all Of which have heretofore been
sadly wanting.

The investigation into the assassination OF
Prince Michael of Servia is said to cast sus-
piciOn upon the ex-Prince Karageorgewitch.
We give in another column biographical
sketch of this Prince, which will explain the
motives that led to the murder. Prince Kara
georgewitch and Prince Michael represented
two great political parties-the former those
who wish to remain in connection with Turkey,
the latter the Pan-Slavonian party, who wish
the union of all Slavonian tribes under the
scepter of Russia. The great majority of the
people appear to be on the side of the reignng
family for the adherents of Karageorgewitch
were unable to produce any disturbance. The
assassination of Prince Michael is, therefore,
likely to strengthen the Pan-SlavOnian tenden-
cies in Seryia

Cur Mexican correspondent fully calculates
the constitutional conflict between President
Juarez and the Supreme Court, to which recent
cable dispatches have repeatedly referred.
The combination Of the offices of President of
the Supreme Court and Secretary of State is
not in accordance with our views OF n good
Republican Government; but the Mexlcans
know best what suits them. Experience will
in the course of time be for them, as it is for
every people, good instructor in cOnstitu-
tional law. The conflict thus far has kept, and
we hope always will keep, within the bounds
of law, and no papers, save those who from
selfish motives seek to defame the present Gov
ernment of Mexico will think Of finding in it
q proof of anarchy.

Mr.. Howard's bill relating to the Freedmen'S
Bureau provides that the present Commissioner
shall continue to discharge the functions OF the
office; that in case of his death or resignation
his successor shall be nominated by the Presl-
dent, on recommendation of the Secretary OF
War and confirmed by the Senate; that no
army officer shall be detailed for service as
Commissioner without the advice and consent
of the Senate; and that all assistant Commis-
sioners shall be appointed by the Secretary OF
War on the nomination of the chief OF the
bureau. In case of vacancy in the commls-
sionershp happening during recess OF the
Senate the duties of the office shall be DIS
charged by the acting assistant adiutant-gen-
eral of the Bureau until the vacancy can be

THE CONFLICT BETUEEN. JCS1RLI 1ND
THE POPE

THE POPE
The breach between the Emperor Francis Jo-
scph and the Pope, on account of the liberal
reforms which have recently been introduced
into Austria, Is now complete The Pope, IN il
solemn Aloeution, not only in the severest
terms denOunces the conduct of the Austrian
Government. but he warns all persons who APP
prove of the laws recently passed by the
Rcichsrnth concerning the press, religions tolcr-
alton, civil marriage, and public education, to
beware of the spiritual penalties attached to
violations of the sacred rights of the Church.
The threat has had no effect upon the Govern
ment, but the Rcichsmth We're assured before
their adjournment by the Prime Minister Won
Beust who is II Protestant that the Govern
mcnt would enforce the refomatory laws.
TO an American who is unacquainted with
the theocIatic policy of the Papal Govern
ment, these threats of the Pope must be al
most wholly unintelgiblc. The law concerning
the press destroys the influence of Bishops upon
literature, but grants by no means as extensive
a liberty as we have in the United States. The
new law on religious liberation establishes the
principle that the State Government shall not
prosecute any one on account OF his religious
conviction, and grants equal civil rights to the
members of every creed but it leaves to the
Roman Catholic Church, as State Church, very
great privileges. The law on civil marriages
only provides that Catholics whom the EcccSi-
astical authorities refuse to marry may con-
tract a valid marriage before an officer of the
State. The law on public education places
the public schoOs--as far as the general diTec-
ton, and, in particular, the selection of text
books is cOncerned-under the sole control OF
the State Government, though the instruction
i'm religion of Catholic scholars remains, as
heretofore, under the supervision of the Catho-
lie Bishops.
From this it will be seen that the new Aus
trian laws not only deprive the Bishops OF no
right which they possess in a free couatry like
the United States, but that they leave to them
an influence upon public affairs, like educa-
ton, which they have in no country without a
State Church. The reason why the Pope and
the Bishops are, nevertheless, so indignant
Mt the new laws, is that they virtually repeal
certain provisions of the famous Concordat OF
1885, which granted to the Church, and IN par
tcular to the Bishops, very extensive and, IN
the opinion Of the Liberal party, very odlous
and oppressive privileges. 1t Is In particular
tho following provisions of the Concordat which
