PRINCE BIsMARCK'S NEW PLAN.
Prince Bismarck IS already actively planning and
negotiating the reconstruction Of Government ma
| joity by the manipulation Of parties. In his new
scheme the Centre party will replace the National
Liberal party that in tho cartel The elections
have resulted in the full restoration If the Prince )
control the Emperor. The Chancellor never
seriously intended t. retire. but would have retired
rather than have played the part Of tsurehc j.
The first measure showing the drift Of the scheme
is the revival OF active relations with the Vaticar
the Popes opinions and his recommendations As to the
details Of the restitution to the Catholic clergy of the
sums scqucstratcd during the kulturktmpL Repora

sonay TO the Pope, on the close correction IF hl'
proposed State Socialism with the Christian Socialism
embodied in the Papal allocutions.

with the Government place the school, question in the
first rank, and demand the abolition of all restrictions
upon the Catholic direction OF Catholic schools.

sired rather, and simply, that determined effort
should be made to find means to satisfy the lesil
demands and the just wishes Of the working people.
These words Of The Emperor deeply Impressed all
who heard them, and all unite in praising the Eni.
