Bismarck and Pho N no

Ever since the consolidation of Germany IN
to the Prussian Empire. trouble has been brew
ing between Berlin and the Vatican. Bis.
marck is no better than an inide! himself and
in no frame to brook the overweening inlu-
ence of the Church in what he regard, as
purely political matters in the newly medat
lied Catholic States of Germany. The iron
BILE has become quarrel and IS daily growing
more bitter. The Prussisa iuterdic. of the
Jesuits, Blsmarck's severe reprimand of the
Bishop of Ermelaad for accommodating GER
tain old Catholics without the Emperor's con-
sent, the closing of certain Catholic churches
in Posen, and the plain declaration of Prussia
that the church's claims must be held subor.
dinate to the authority Of the state, have cul-
minated in an open rupture with the Vatican.
The Pope, IN an ALLEGATION on the 23i ult.,
spoke in the strongest terms of the acts of the
Prusslan government, denounced; them as at
tempts to destroy the church ''by men who,
ignorant of religion, seek to define the dog
mas" This language is bitterly resented in
Prussia, not only by the press, but By the gov
eminent ITSELF which has recalled its charpe
d'ahairs from the Vatican, thus sun lering i,s
relations with the pope. So far as the quarrel
between Prussia and the pope is concerned, it
will amount to little else than trial of Stub.
bornness between two very stubborn bodies.
1t s the reflex action which this quarrel may
haye In Prussia itself that Possesses interest
How far the German Catholics may sympa.
thlze with and obey the pope, and how far
the government may go IN its measures against
them for SO doing is getting to be a question
OF no little Importance t0 the outside world.

A Pretty Bold Step.

The case with which Judge Durell, of New
Orleans, with the aid of U. s. bsyonets, was able
to revolutioni7e state government, embold-
ened him to take another step, which, though
apparently Of less Importance, may give him
vast deal moro trouble in the end. Among
the newspapers in New Orleans which had
the boldless TO characterize his acts as they
deserved, the Times was particularly notable
for the freedom and vigor Of its comments.
As the hired organs Of radicalism in the city
wen: unable to parry tho damaging thrusts Of
the Times with Legitimate argument, the pc.
tent arm of Judge Durell was invoked, and
on = cooked up claim against the Times, which
the pubishers Of course refused to pay, oul
second Jeffrics Issued a citation in bankruptcy
against them, and although they were willing
to give ample security for the payment of the
claim should judicial Investigation show il
to be q just one, their offer was rejected, and
the paper forced into the hands of q receiver
who, of course, at once discontinued its pub
licat,on, thus destroying the value Of the
property which tho proceeding in bankruptcy

AN Ice GoReE-Anong the numerous sssu.

THE FIRE FIEND.-The Fifth Avenue The.
stre IN New York was destroyed BY fire on
New Years day. The fire originated in the
heating apparatus in the basement, and spread
so rapidly that in fifteen minutes after its dis.
covery the entire building was wrapped in
flames. 1t broke out in less than 20 minutes
after the audience, that had attended matt.
nee performance, had left the theatre. The
theatre joins on the rear of the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, which again narrowly escaped destruc.
ton. The kitchen was demolished by fall
ing wall of the theatre, and the hotel damaged
TO the amount OF $4,000. The loss of til,
theatre, fixtures, wardrobes, &C., amounts t.
$4,000, of which very little was insured

Sunday Laws vs.. Saloons.

The long fight at Chicago between the ss-
loon or liquor interest and the Temperance or
Sunday law factions has terminated ia tri-
umpa of the saloons. The city council on
Tuesday evening, by q vote Of Is to lG, adopt
ed so'called compromise which allows
the saloons to sell liquor and prosecute their
business the same on Sundays as on other
days, provided that on Sundays the front
doors be closed and the blinds pulled down.
AZ the compromise merely makes lawful
what the saloons had been doing contrary to
law, the ''compromiss" does not seem to
smount to much for the temperance cause.
The war is probably not yet over, as the
Mayor will veto the compromise" and the
matter will probably be made the issue ct the
spring election.
