Tho Royal Commission for tho investigation Of
the chargeB against tho Canadian Pacific Credit
Mobilior haB evidently boon packed in tho inter-
osts Of tho dovornmont. The only effect Of this
attempt to cvado Justice will bo to strengthen
tho Opposition party. which has already shown
strength enough to forco tho Gororn-
mont into m investigation, eyon though
it DO n partial one. The latest
English papers furnish some Intelligence, which
also has an important bearing upon tho mattor.
On tho I'd inst, Sir g. Dilko asked h1r. Glad
stono in Parliament what steps wero being takcn
to ascertain the truth Or tho falsohood Of tho
Canadian Pacific scandal, and also whothor tho
country would refrain from guaranteeing any
portion Of tho Pacific Railroad loan until
tho charges woro disproyed. With ref

stono replied that tho charges vcro de-
cidodIy within tile power Of tho Legislature Of
the Dominion, and that tho Canadian Ministers
were responsible to their own and not to the
English Parliament for thoir acts. Ho, thore-
fore, thought it was not matter in which 1t

tho question Of tho loan, Mr. Gladstone further
explained that it would not he influenced ut all

Tho text Of tho now German ecc1oBiastical
law has just been published by tho BROOKLYN
Catholic Reuie,o Its principal provisions arc as
follows !: No Catholic priest can publish any dis
cp]inary 1aw or act excepting as it affects purely
religious matters or concerns the clergy; no
priests can inf1ict or publish any disciplinary
penalties against any person for fulfilling tho
1aws Of tho State, whether thoy conflict or not
with the laws of the Church; no priost can pub
lish any disciplinary peualties to bo inflicted
upon persons for voting or not voting ut public
elections; no priost can name any porson by
namo in tho publication Of discipline
~ penalties. The penalty affixed for
tho violation Of these provisions is fine Of not
less than 900 thalors and imprisonment for not
loss than two years, and moreover, tho offender
can DO suspended from practicing tho profession
of Clergyman. These provisions, Which are ap-
plicablo to all othor denominations as vol as
Catholics, indicate the determination Of tho
Pr1'ssian Government to effect complete sep
aration Of Church and Stato. As far as tloy
mako the State law8 superior to those Of tho
Church, tho Church authorities will probably
yiold without question, from forco, If for no
other rcason. When, however, tho State under
takes to suspend clergyman from lia func-
tions, 1t infriDgos upon one of tho most sacrod
prorogatives OF tho Church i'll ali ages, aud this
penalty will not bo executed without bitter on
position.
