Three rnporOl,- ana three PRIME minis

the guiding spirits Of the governments of
Germany. Russia and Austria. Their
united determinations, unless in WantOn

these siN men possess more power

istencc 1t is said that they are to
meet in Il small town near Warsaw. The
rendezvous is convenient on account of
railway lines, being in degree Cqui-dlS

awaken popular memories of the past acts
of the royal powers now represented.

liam is the oldest, being eighty -SeVen.
His companion, Prince Bismarck, * not
quite seventy. The Emperor of Austria,
Francis Joseph is tifty-tour, and his
prime minister, Count Kalnoky is fifty

est one in the group, being only thirty

enters the conference with the weight OF

admit to their councils even he most

BALTIMORE, sept IA pastoral letter
from Archbishop Gibbons was read in all
the churches of the arch diocese to-day,
announcing the assembling of II plcnary
council ON November 9th. Every state
and diocese of the Union will be repre-
ented at the approaching council by pre-
latcs ana priests, and although, it says,
they are descended from divers nations
and speak every European tongue they
are all animated by IL spirit of
fraternal charity. The object for
which the council is summoned
is not to formulate new dogmas Of faith
for the only doctrine we preach now Is the
faith once developed by the saints nor
will oar deliberations have amy political
significance. or CRAFTY amy political aspira-
tionS. The church of God has no direct
relations with politics, and political
intrigucS form no part of her divine
mission. The enactment of statutory
laws for the promotion of picty and
sound morals, the correction of abuses of
the establishment, Us far is is practicable
for greater uniformity in ecclesiastical dis
cipllnc, the development of the Christian
commonwealth, the quiCkening and

The Difference Between the Candidates.
From the Womau's Journal
The difference between the position of
Blaine and Cleveland, j. this: Mr.. Blaine
and his supporters utterly deny the
charges of political dishonesty, and many
excellent Judges of evidence, like George
f. IIOar and Edwin ID. Mead. after thor
ough examinations, pronounce these
charges not sustained. Gov. Cleveland and
his friends, ON the contrary, admit that he
has been guilty of the most scandalOus
immortality immortality which units him
not only for the Presidency but for admiS-
sion into respectable society. The fitness
of Mr.. Blaine, therefore, is an open qlles-
tiOn. THOSE who think him dishonest will
not and ought not to vote for him. But
the uniitncsS of Mr.. Cleveland is no longer
an open question: No one can contrUvert
it. In voting for Blaine men will not en-
duI>'c political dishonesty but in voting
for Cleveland men will cnudonp admitted
personal immortality ANA will affirm that
crimes against women do not count in
political life.
