Two Leaders.

If su ccess be the test of merit, the French
leader is better man than the German.
Gambetta has carried the elections and con-
trolls the chambers. Bismarck has lost the
elections, and cannot control the Reichstag.
In both cases liberalism is the winner and
the reactionists go to the wall.
The triumph of Gambetta was fairly
earned, as was the defeat of Bismarck. The
Frenchman who is soon to become premier
has developed within the last ten years
great administrative qualities He now
takes statesmanlike view of the functions
and possibilities of constitutional govern
ment, and wisely avails himself of that
policy Of "opportunism" which has so long
been the distinguishing trait of successful
English politicians. He no longer attempts
the impracticable, but is willing to take
what can be secured without harmful dis
turbance, and patiently wait his time. Ten
years ago he was mistrusted by the ma
jority of Frenchmen. But the fiery and i'm
patient radicalism of his youth has disap-
peared in the school of practical statesman
ship, and to-day he voices France He has
shown that capacity for growth which is the
most necessary attribute Of a statesman.
Whatever he has done so far has been done
well, and we have faith to believe that he
will exercise wise management in the dispo-
sition Of the great questions of relations of
church and state, of education, and of
divorce that will come before the new
chambers.
On the other hand Bismarck, who ten
years ago was the idol of Germany, has met
with reverse of fortune. His mishap is
due to his obstinate disregard Of the inter-
ests of the people, the contempt he has felt
for their wishes, and his refusal to recognize
their aspirations. His policy has been one
of retrogression. He has refused to open
his eyes to the signs of the times, to keep
himself abreast of the current of popular
opinion in Germany, to even make those in
consequent concessions that placate animos-
ity without yielding any material advantage.
He has turned his face to the Middle Ages,
even to countenancing the barbarous perse-
cution of the Jews. His foolish policy has
met with its just reward. The intelligence
and popular spirit of the country are arrayed
against him and his majority in the Reich
stag has disappeared. The blow is not fa-
tai, but it is heavy. He will probably con-
tinue to govern for time as before, but his
influence will be greatly lessened. His rep
utation for leadership will suffer, while that
of Gambetta will increase. The Frenchman
made the best use of his opportunities. The
German wasted them.

THE Monteyidean newspapers chronicl le
the death in Montevideo of Miss Helena
Jackson, the ''Angel of Uruguay" who
founded an orphan asylum at her own coun-
try-house at Atahualpo, supported four or
five schools in Monteyideo, was a member Of
several philanthropical societies, and spent
great part of her income in helping indi-
gent families, and this irrespective of aims
of all kinds, while she turned her own pri-
vate residence into an asylum for the needy.
For the last ten years Miss jackson has
lived retired from the world. She was still
young and beautiful and was known as the
"Mother of the Orphan and the Poor" She
died of congestion of the brain, and on the
day of her funeral her residence was filed
with people, all bearing offerings Of wreaths
and flowers.

The Papacy and Church Politics.
The dream of universal empire that Rome
had so nearly realized supplied the Church
with an ideal; over against the Civitas Roma
rose the CiYitas Del, making men its citizens
by baptism, now priestly rite and giving to
the enfrapchised title to heaven. As the
empire decayed the Church stepped into its
place; as the one decreased the other in
creased in its ability to maintain order.
The more its politico-sacerdotal agencies and
activities were exercised the more they were
developed. The supremacy Of Rome passed to
the Church, the Pope superseded Caesar, and
exercised ecclesiastical functions moreimperial
than any political functions his predeces-
sor had ever exercised. Culture had died,
and with it criticism-even when severest and
least friendly, most serviceable to the Church,
she being more able to dispense with the apollo
o;as of her sons than with the criticisms Of her
enemies. States and dynasties were too uIi-
stable and short lived to offer resistance to her
arrogant claims. Civil power was ever chang
ing hands, newer PROVINCES or peoples were
ever coming suddenly 10 the front, and were as
suSdenly forced to the rear. But aoove all
tbe changes the Church sat- watching all, pro
fitting by all, multiplying her sensuous sanctl-
ties, and enactlng her sacerdotal laws.
But now comparative criticism, when It mas
traced the process of ecclesiastical develop
ment and analysed its factors, is met by anoth-
er set OF problems How have these changes at
fected the religion? Do they only better pre-
serve it? or do they work change IN It's cnar-
ac1ar that is equal to revolution? Now, as
regards the case before us, it has to be noted
that the development was not from the pure
seed. hat. as it were, from tares that had been
sown along with it, The religion OF Christ IS
not policy, nor can it be incorporated in one;
IL is no sacerdotalism, and cannot be embodied
in priestly system. If those two are 80 fused

through tamis When the fish is entirely
covered by the liquid the stewpan is to be set
to the "double quick boil" until, by means Of
such heroic coction the contents are reduced
to three-quarters of their original volume. The
reduced "Bouill-A -Abaisse"-is then to
be poured into deep dish in which slices Of the
crumb OF fine white bread-what we call French
roll-havo been symmetrically arranged.
The slices of fish are served separately. Bouil-
labaisse, "a la Nnoise' differs from that ''a la
Marseiliaise," in the particulars that among
the fish red mullet, soles and eels are admitted
and that when the fish is cooked it is served
up with a sauce made from the boiled and
pounded liver of fish called a "baudroie,"
mingled with the yolks of three eggs, some
good oil, and glass of Madeira. Instead Of
the sauce Of the Bouill-Abaisse being poured
over slices of bread in that Of Mines, the sauce
and the fish are served together, and the whole
fish is encircled by "crortons" of bread fried
in butter Altogether, there would appear to
be minimum of garlic in the Mines recipe;
nor is there any mention made Of saffron as an
ingredient. In the Marselles bouillabaisse
saffron is almost unpleasantly prominent.

PHILADELPHIA Press: Secretary Blaine's
note ON the Panama Canal is leading to a
good deal of discursive comment on the 9th

meaning, which simply is that, while there

loving nation will fight, the absolute control
of this canal, in peace and in war, is one of
them. On this issue the United States has
no parties and but one opinion.

"We think the authoress will become

young lady, pertly, with marked em-

"Ohl-ah!" replied the old gentle
man, looking thoughtfully over his
spectacles at the young lady. 81 hear

Board of Manageresses. From the Pres
identess down to the humblest teacheress

Harper, who as a chemistress is un-
equaled, and Mrs. Knowles has already
reputation as an astronomeress. And

equal Miss Kellogg as singeress."

the chair she was sitting on. She took
the sofa at the other end of the room.

as if talking to himself, ''those White
sisters are very talented. Mary, un-
derstand, has turned her attention to

A loud slamming of the door caused
the old gentleman to look up, and the
criticess and grammarianess was gone.
