MADRID, September 14.-Regarding the
ministerial crisis II has transpired that
three Of the ministers who represented
the old party, being opposed to universal
suffrage, have resigned contrary to the
wishes Of CanovOs Del. Costello, who
urged that the government ought to res
peCt the state Of affairs legally establish.
cd and leave to future Cortes the task Ui
modifying the election law, II any Mt.
tention was then considered necessary
The King thereupon requested Senor
Canoyos Del. Costello to form new
Cabinet, and he declined on the ground
that having long presided over n
Cabinet which represented the cOnsiderN'
tion Of old parties he ought not to re.
main at the head Of one party only. The
King then entrusted General Jovellar
with the formation Of the ministry Of
the present Cabinet, which Is more
homogeneous and liberal than It's pre-.
deceasors and was constituted with the
concurrence Of Canovos Del. Costello.

LONDON, September 1.-THE Telegraph
publishes special from Vienna in which
i is said that Montenegro has definitely
informed the insurgent leaders that she
cannot make war against the Porte.
The Times says it understands that Rus
sia will attempt to arrange a conference
Of the signatures Of the treaty Of 1856
with the object Of influencing the Porte
in regard to the future government Of the
SClavonian provinces.
The Daily Neirs has special telegram
from Paris saying that NJ, ROuber starts
for Arenenberg, Switzerland, Wednesday,
to assist at a grand Bonapartist cOnclave
Friday, Admiral Roucier le MOury is
also invited, but is undecided whether he
will accept. NJ. Olivier is certainly going.
The Bonapartist propaganda is being en-.

LONDON, September li,-A letter to
the Times, dated Cuttaro La Monte, Sep
tember 9Th, says: The Importance Of the
insurrection In Lower Herzegovina dl-
minishes upon near approach, while in
Bosnia there is nothing worth mention
Ing except panic and disorder, with an
exodus OF women and children. In that
part OF Herzegovina lying west Of line
drawn from Niksich to Mostar the insur.
gents appear only as bands without co.
herenCe, discipline or purpose. They
are even without communication with
the eastern portion Of the province. The
Herzegovinian parts Of their bands are
more inclined to pillaging and petty
thieving than to fighting. Even the for
eign volunteers who made the lighting
nucleus, suffer from their predaceous
propensities. They number in all be-
tween 1000 and 1900, but the majority
are generally absent during the fighting,
and only appear when there Is some
booty to DO taken. OF the bands nomi-
nally under Jubovities not above 300 men
mean fighting.

The Main Election

AUGUSTA, September l4.-Thc returns
received at the Journal Office, mostly
official, from 274 towns give Connor 45,'
O35, Roberts, 4l,54l, Connor's majority,
3,40l; same towns last year gave DINGHY,
4O,OO7, Roberts, 81 ,474, Dinghy majority
0,433. There are yet 22O towns to be
heard from. The Republican majority
by counties will be about as follows: An.
driscoggin $50, ArroostoOk 43, Franklin
6lO, Hancock 47, Kennebec 1917
Oxford 2S3, Penobscot 23G, Piscatnqnis

iorities-Cumberland 3Sl, Knox 40,
Waldo 80. KennebeC county, except two
small towns, gives Connor $3.50, Roberts
4,llO. The Democrats have elected ID
and perhaps 10 Senators. In the Fourth
Congressional district Gen. Plaisteds
friends claim from 800 to 1000
majority for him and the re.
turns will doubtless elect him by
these figures. Twenty.three towns
in Cumberland county give Democratic
vote Of 1887, Republican G,88O, making
the Democratic majority 3Sl. Three
towns to hear from gave 900 Democratic
majority last year, so that their majority
this year will not fall far short Of the
above figures, against 800 Republican
majority last year. The Dem9Crats have
all four Of the Senators, against one last
year. The Representatives are probably
IL Democrats, 0 Republicans and 2 ties,
against u Democrats and 8 Republicans
last year. The court officers are all
Democrats.

Taxing Church Property.

The Catholic priests showed great
lack Of worldly wisdom in the character
Of their recent opposition to the adoption
OF certain amendments to the constitution
Of New Jersey. Two of these amend.
mCnis provided against all sectarian APP
propriations and in favor Of taxing all
church propcrty-two very appropriate
and much needed amendments-both Of
which, we are happy to say, were adopted
by n large majority Of the people Of New
Jersey.
The Catholic priests made open war on
these proposed amendments. They did
not conhne themselves to electiOneering
against them quietly among their follow
ers hut they inveighcd against them in
their churches and distributed opposition
ballots to their people. The Bishop Of
Newark wrote n letter to the priests Of
hi' diocese recommending them to
instruct their people to vote against
the clause providing for the taxation Of
chnrcllproperIy, And accordingly they
did instruct their people TO vote against
II, hut all to no purpose. The very fact
that they did 80 was the OCCASION Of
many people voting for the amendments
who perhaps would not have voted nj all
Prior to this letter Of the Bishops, and
Iolhe consequent acts Of his priests, Scv.
eraI Methodist preachers had made pub.
lie declarations against The amendment
taxing church property. II iS not i'm.
probable that the amendment would have
been defeated but for The active part
IAEen by the Bishop and lis priests.
AS soon a4 they were seen in The po.
IlIcaI arena, in their ecclesiastical
capacities, there was m apparent change
OF public sentiment In favor Of the adop-
lion Of the amendments referred to, and
accordingly they were carried by large
majortics.
The lesson Of this result in New Jersey
.'hat the people there, as everywhere
else in this country, are easily alarmed at
any appearance Of the Catholic hierarchy
lnpoIilic'. Thcyarc unreasonable enough
'o'n'pccI that hierarchy Of different and
more serious intentions rs regards the
adoption or rejection Of amendments to
STATE constitutions, than those entertained
OythC Protestant hierarchy Of the coun.
n.y. Mud the reason Ia plain enough.
tlr'i the Catholic Church Ina a
history in connection with politics that
N'Il not bear examination. Second, the
Protestant hierarchy Of this country do
"oiowe allegiance to any foreign ecclesi-
a''lcal power. Third, protestantism il
SIMPLY an aggregation Of many sects, all
oI them more or less jealous Of each
O'hcr'o no one Of them likely to obtain
political power, while Catholicism, and
especially the Catholic hierarchy, is q
solid, compact, aggressive and intolcrnnt
Organization, that atrogOtes to itself a
ulvine right not only to meddlc in but also
'odictatc in regard to politics.
This very essential and radical differ.
c0ce explains why IT Is that the people
