behind, Fullerton, who led Maud, two
lengths ahead. On entering the second
quarter Fullerton gradually increased his
lead, and came in fifty yards before Maud,
Nettie barely saving her distance.
Time, 2:204.
Fullerton and Maud had full length the
advantage in the send Off for the second
heat. At the first turn the Judge drew
away, and at the first quarter was leading
Maud three lengths, Nettie ten lengths
away and seemingly in distress. These
positions were maintained through the
middle half, but on the home stretch Nettie
came very fast, gained rapidly, but could
not reach the other horses, the Judge taking
the heat, making his best record and fastest
time ever made on the Cleveland track,
Maud second, Nettie third, both running

PENAL ~DISENDOWMENT IN
PRUSSIA.
IFrom the Spectator

The Ecclesiastical procedure Of Prussia
during the last three years seems to us
much the most melancholy instance Of
national retrogression guided by admins
trative unSc'upulousness which the pre-
sent century eau show. But we should
not have said this, if the law which has
just been introduced, and which will
certainly he passed, to disendow without
disestablishing the Roman Catholic Church
in all the dioceses where the Bishops do
not engage TO obey the FaIck laws, had
been the first and only penalty provided
for ignoring the ecclesiastical provisions
of those laws. 1t seems to us evidently
within the proper prerogative of q State
to declare that it will lend no aid to any
given religious teaching, unless that re-
ligious teaching seems to it conducive to
political order and t the welfare of the
State; and wheth nat is so or not is
clearly a matter 0 which the State itself
is the only proper or conceivable Judge.
Had, therefore, the Ecussian statesmen
avowed in 1872 that under the then ex-
listing circumstances the Roman Catholic
Church was not a help, but a danger to
civil order and national unity, and accord
ingly given that Church the choice be-
tween perfect freedom of action without
State aid, or a hampered and carefully
restricted action with it, we should have
held their policy quite consistent with
strict justice and sound political principle.
But not only was that not the line of
policy adopted, but it was and is a policy
bitterly ridiculed and vehemently CON
demned by the national, which for the
most part is the anti-Romanist party.
They declared and declare loudly that not
only is the programme a Free Church in
a Free State a mistaken one, but that it
is the true policy of the Government to
keep every conceivable check on the
action of the. Church, and that, in fact,
what is wanted even in relation to Pro-
testant Churches, and most of all in
relation to Roman Catholic. is a Slave
Church III a Free State. They repudiate
contemptuously the notion of disestablish-
ing the Church aud leaving it free, except
where it may break the ordinary law, to
conduct its ecclesiastical system as it
chooses, and support enthusiastically
Prince Bismarck and DIR. Falck in the
opposite policy of legislating for the
Churches in manner adaptedto clip the
wings of an independent theology and an
Independent ecclesiastical system, without
giving them any opportunity of emanci-
pating themselves by surrendering their
endowments. The Falck laws constitute
an elaborate system of guarantees that
no new minister shall be introduced into
, 1875-04-17

any church who has not been educated
by teachers chosen or approved by the
State, and that no priest or parochlal
pastor shall be promoted or even moved
from one cure to another, without the
approval of the Civil Government. The
effect of those laws has been to consign
to prison and to load with fines a vast
number of the bishops and clergy of the
Roman Catholic Church, and not few
OF the ministers Of the higher Lutheran
theology, and this, too, without giving
either, them or their congregations the
option of recovering their ecclesiastical
liberty by resigning their State pay. But
even that has not been sufficient. The
Pope has recently issued a Bill, in which
he declares that the Ecclesiastical laws
of Prussia are inconsistent with the higher
religious obligations affecting the con-
sciences of true Catholics, and declaring,
therefore, that Catholics are not required
to obey them. To this the Prussian Gov
ernment has %rejoined by introducing q
Bill which empowers the Government to
disendow, hut not in any sense to dis
establish,-the Roman Catholic Church
in Prussia wherever the ecclesiastical
authorities do not promise complete obe-
dience to the existing PruSsian laws
but it is clear that the Church SO dis
endowed will be just as subject to the
penal seventies of the Falck laws as ev-
er; in other words, it will be burden
ed by all the restrictions and liable to all
the heavy penalties of al Established
Church, without receiving q grOschen
o. revenue, unless the Bishops volunteer
q pledge to accommodate themselves to
the laws of May, 1878. Let US translate
this into an equivalent enactment IN rela'
ton to our own British Legislation. Sup
pose at the time when the Secession under
DR., Chalmers and his colleagues went out
of the Established Church of Scotland, the
British legislature had passed law which
in effect declared as follows You may
withdraw if you like, and Of course if you
do, you get not q shilling Of the revenue
belonging to the Scotch Church, though
whenever you choose to make your sub
mission by signing q test which binds you
to obey the laws of the State, you shall
have It back again; but you must remem-
Der that your withdrawal will not leave
you in oay degree at liberty to govern the
seeded Church as you wish. We have no
intention at all of allowing you to esta-
bIish any Fee Church in Scotland. On
the contrary, if, when you have ceased to
receive anything from the endowments OF
the State Church, any of your congrega-
tions attempts to appoint q new pastor
without the approval Of the State or if
you open a College Of your W to teach
the theology of the Free Church without
the approval of the State, you will hnd
yourself subjected to heavy fines and inn
prisonments; indeed, the clergy OF your
Free Church will soon be all of them in
prison, or their goods seized to pay the
fines they have incurred to the State';-
suppose such a declaration authoritativeIy
made, we say, and we suppose exactly the
condition in which the Roman Catholic
Church in Prussia will be placed after the
Bill just introduced into the Prusslan
Landtag has become law.
