| the vote of the centre is for diSsolving the
rechstag. Prince Bismarck is inclined tC
submit to the vatican.
CAUSE OF THE DISPUTE.
The question on the anzeigcpnicht has
arisen in connection with the the nomina-
tion by the archbishop of Pearson of five
parish priests. The president of the province
vetoed the nominations. The archbishop
refused to accept the veto or to name other
priests in place of the Objectionable nomi-
nees, and the dispute was referred to the
vatican. The Cura maintains that the
church engaged only to make known Its
nominees. and that il never recognized the
right of the government to use the veto
power. Herr Puttkamer tacitly submitted TO
this view of the question and the archbishop
will confirm the appointments.
Greater difficulty, however, attends the ne
gotiatiOn concerning the religious orders.
The government promises increased latitude
to the existence of the orders, but insists
upon having close control and supervision of
their operations. The voice of opposition in
the press is almost inaudible.
THE pUBLIC's ANXIETY.
The public mind is most troubled with the
demand for urgency for the army bills, and
instead of awaiting a removal of the national
upon including appropriations for an in
crease of the army in the next budget, thus,
causing fear that the European situation is
pregnant with dangers which are near nj
hand. The paciiicedeclaratons in the speech
from the throne have failed to remove these
feelings
FEARS OF HOSTILE OUTBREAKS.
The Cologne Gazette, in a notable article
rejecting the views of the people of the
Rhenthal, declares that the absorbing topic
in family circles in all the Rhine towns and
villages is the probability of an early out
break of hosltilities which Will shake the con
tinents of Europe to their foundation.
Germans who are closely acquainted with
the national life of France know that the
French are consumed with morbid desire to
despoil Germany. The Cologne Gazette's
articles are designed to weaken the opposi-
ton to the septenate, but still it embodles
accurately the popular conviction.
THE rorE's ADVISE.
The North German Gazette publishes the
text of letter from the pope to Bishop
Klein on the occasion of the conservation of
the latter at Limbourgc. The pope advises
the bishop, as he is living among protestants,
to show himself charitable, devout, meek and
atfable towards all; to keep himself stran-
suffering, enduring contradiction patiently
and following the best path to gain all hearts
that of christian charity to all.
q GERMAN LIFE INSURANCE.
The funds of the German life insurance
companies during the year 1885 amounted to
9ll, 100000 marks, an increase of 50, 600, 600
marks over those of 1854. Two-thirds of the
funds are invested in mortgages. Only
$4,000 900 marks are invested in German Sc
curities.
A GOODS EXCHANGE.
Berlin, following the example of Hamburg,
will open goods exchange on January 3.
The Frankfort merchants are moving to es-
tabish similar exchange. The question is
also being discussed in Vienna, but in that
city 1t is proposed to extend the sphere of the
existing corn exchange to cover other pro-
duce.
THE IRON PRODUCTION.
The production of pig iron in Germany for
the ten months ending October 81 was =, 7SO,-
379 tons against 3, les, 800 tons for the cores
ponding period in 1855.
LIFE PRISONER RELEASED.
A sensation has been created by the re-
lease from prison of an apohecary named
SpGichert, who was condemned eleven years
ago to Imprisonment for life for poisoning
his wife. Speichert stoutly maintained that
he was innocent of the crime charged to him.
and after making inccssant appeals for mercy
his friends obtained from the authorities per-
mission to eXhumc the remains of the woman
and have them examined. An ANALYSIS by
six German experts tended to prove the alb
sence of poison in the body, and pending a
retrial of the case the prisoner was released
