present, no prosecution can be instituted
except by the Public Prosecutor, an officer
who holds his place simply at the pleasure
of the Government, and will assuredly not

pleasing to powerful superiOrs. In Prus

States, there ia practice of appointing

brought into prominence the authority
claimed by the Government OF seizing 10

an individual letter or letters, but the en-
| tire correspondence of an obnoxious person.
These are some of the prominent points of
the difference between the Government and
| the Reichstag.
We know what in England would be the
| Issue of such conf1icr. The very opposite
has been the case at Berlin. Last Monday
| week ,he bill came before the Reichstag for
| the third reading. The chief leaders of the
National SLibersl section slgnihed that,
after mature deliberation, they had come to
the conclusion that they would not be
justified in standing ont sgainst the Gov,
eminent. 1t was general surrender all
along the line. Trial by jury in press

Catholic Deputies and most of the other
Liberal sections voted against the Govern
ment proposals, but the renegade National
Liberals, aided by the CONSERVATIVE"
supporters of the Government, carried the
! bill. 1t is not surprising that the more
advanced Liberal journals denounce the
recreancy of the National Liberals. An
opportunity of rare advantage for making
a step of genuine progress had presented
itself. They have thrown it away rather
than displease the despotic Minister who
rules Germany as he chooses. We do not
think any example of similar wholesale
absndonmep5 OF principle Can be found
either in English or in French Parliamen-
tary history. 1t is possible that it may
meet with speedy retribution. Next
Wednesday week, January 10, the general
elections for the new Reichsrag will I've held,
and it is reasonable to suppose that some
of the apostates will be sent about their
business by their indignant constituents.
Such, at any rate, is likely to be the case
| with many of the Bavarian and other
southern deputies. But Prince Bismarck
| is too securely fixed for it to be possible to
suppose that his authority, for the present
at least, can be really shaken. Perhaps,
| indeed, these renegade National Liberals
| have but illustrated once more the irony of
fate, in thus sacrificing their principles at
! the shrine of the idol whom the majority of
their fellow counrrymen have agreed To
worship.

DEATH OF FATHER HOLzER, C.SSR.

brief note from Father Anwander, an
nounces to US the death at the Convent in
Rochester. N. Y, of the Rev. Lawrence
Holzer, of the Congregation of the Most
Holy Redeemer, in his fifty-seventh year
Father Holzer was born September the
II, 1919, at Mintrachipg, near Ratisbone,
Bavaria. He made his religio US profession
on All Saints day 1874 was ordained priest
May II, 1945, and was set apart for the
Mission in the United States in ls47.
For the twenty eight years of his life as
a RecerDptorist liz America, he was an ex
ample for his strict observance of the Rule,
which is to sanctify his own soul, and by
untiring energy work for saving the souls
of others. Father Holzer had great love
for study especially for the natural sciences;
but be held all such inclinations in strict
standardization to that great and serious
work of his life as a Missionary. He was
greatly esteemed by all who knew him, and
was very widely known; as, in his long
career, in various posts of responsibility, he
was stationed, at various times, in Roches-
ter, Buffalo, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Bal
timore, New Orleans, Chicago, st. Louis,
and New York.
Nearly two year ago, while at the Con-
vent of the Most Holy Redeemer, Third
street, New York, his robust body began to
yield to the painful malady, (dropsy of the
hearty, that finally carried him away. For
eighteen months past, nursed carefully by
theirs of st. Joseph's Convent, Rochester, he
has been very great sufferer. Whenever
possible, even when he had TO creep to the
Altar, he insisted on saying Mass; and,
when this was impossible, he would drag
himself into the Qratory, to assist at the
Masses of his brethren. He was so true a
child of st. Alphonsus that he could not
bear to pass day without assisting at least
at one Mass. His patience in his weary
illness was admirable. His death occurred
on ST. Johns day, Decem Der %. OF his
funeral we have no other account than
that the Requiem was sung by his old
friend and brother in religion, Father
Wirth, Rector of Holy Redeemer, New
York. May his soul rest in peace.-Free-
mans Journal.

We are authorized to say that the
statement made few days since by the
Times, that Gen. B. B. SHINES pro.
posed, while in Washington, to cham
pion the cause of Collector King, has
not a particle of foundation In fact.
The General, who is on old line Dem
ocrat, Is candidate for doorkeeper of
the House, and his visit to Washington
has no connection, immediate or re-
mote, with Judge Kings confirmation.
Gen. SHINES and Judge King have been
for many years personal friends, but
Gen. SHINES has no sympathy with
Judge Kings pre- sent politics or politi-
cal associations.
1t has also been stated, with the view
OF misrepresenting Gen. SHINES In
Washington, that his son holds an ap-
pointment In the Custom House. Mr..
Lamar SHINES, the young gentleman
referred to. has no position In the Gus
tom-House. He has always been q
Democrat. and was chairman Of the
finance committee of the Democratic
Parish Committee in the last cam paign.
We have known Gen. SHINES from our
boyhood, and he was an active worker in
the Democratic party then, possessing
Its confidence, and holding highly hon
OTable positions at Its hands.
