The Old Catholics in Germany-What
Do They WANT

Do They Wantf
The Old Catholics, regarding whom we
have been hearing so much for the last year
and a half, have had o meeting at Cologne.
From all we can gather the different sttings
have been we'll attended and by audiences of
the respectable classes: 1t was something for
the world to learn that among those who took
part in the proceedings were some Anglican
bishops and at least one bishop of the Episco-
pal communion of America. II is pleasing to
find that the Old Catholics are strong enough
to make q respectable demonstration in the
old Cathedral town. But the world wishes to
know what the Old Catholics want What are
they driving at? A great reform party must
have programme They must have 4 plat
form. There are many who wish the Old
Catholics we'll sana! would like to see them
prosper; but their well-wishers do not know
what their German friends would be at. It
was not difficult to know what Luther wanted
His immortal Theses nailed to the door of the
Schloss-Kirche at Wittenberg left the world
in no doubt. The meaning was plain. But
the spirit of Luther is not present with the
Old Catholics. Without some such spirit we
fear Old Catholicism must die The religious
world really wishes to know what the Old
Catholics want.

The RIVER FRONT AT HoBoKEN-A Bro
JoD.-It would seem that the spirit of dis
honesty and fraud has taken such firm hold Of
politicians that it is useless to expect honora-
BILE dealings from this class. Hoboken has
been engaged for some time in a struggle
to maintain her riparian rights against
wealthy corporation. At the very moment
when the rights of the public were in fair
way to be established the politicians, by
skilful maneuvre, are endeavoring under the
cover of pretended compromise, to sell out
rights of the taxpayers, worth millions, for
a nominal consideration representing some
twenty thousand dollars. In the worst days
of Tammany no such fragrant violation Of
public interests was attempted, and we hope
the citizens of Hoboken will take steps at once
to prevent the alienation Of their property by
schemina political rinea

interesting and singular surroundings. When the
Court met this morning only eleven jurors were
present in the box, and the other was declared to

ever, to 60 on with the evidence, as 1t was unnl-

present. So the trial proceeded all day without
him. Immediately upon the opening OF the Court
