Cbprch t!a.;rrs In Germany.
Nav YORK, July 6.-The Berlin cor
resnopdent OF the London Times re-
c.ived to-day, writes that among the
lingering relics oil the Rhlneland there
WAS until year ago, q law enabling

abolished by the eccIesiastlcal lave OF
1873 the bishops were 10 have placed
their clergy on an equal footing with
the rest of the German priests within q
wear which they are called upon
to do or pay the penalty hxed'
This action OF the government ls
a. severe disappointment to the Oltra-
montsuee, who had been hoping that
the 1900 priesis OF Western Rnein
Land would he expelled en- masse,
proceeding which could not but have
aroused even the most lukewarm OF
their parishioners. The same corres-
popdent saws that the resolution just
passed by the general meeting of the
German Catholic societies, at Mayence,
began by declaring modern civilization
to be at varieuce with the requirements
of their faith, and wound up with re-
serving to the church the rightto de-
eide which laws are in unison with the
laws o. God, and which are not. On a
basis OF this programme, Germany Wae
r.rreseated a. q acountry with a s.rVlIe
population and press, weighed down by
q military despotsm at home, and en-
dapper,ng the peace OF the world
abroad.
