BERLIN, July 25,-The Nork German
Gasette, commenting on the recent Submis-

the administration Of church property,
says that the Episcopate has thereby
abandoned the principle hitherto main
tained, that politico-ecclesiaStical matters
can only be regulated by means Of indie
pendent arrangements between the state
and the church. The GaIeLls iniers that
the Roman Curia has given permission TO
the clergy to decide for themselves, at the
same time informing them that q decision
In favor Of submission to the law will not
be regarded as an act OF diSObedience 70

the GaEette, may be considered as chang
