May Lead to Serious Complications.

CHICAGO, April 1s.-It is not at all
improbable that the action Of Bishops
Bowman and Esher, of the Evangelical
church Of the United States, in continu-
ing to perform their ecclesiastic func-
tions after their suspension by various
conferences, may lead to serious COM
plications. During the past few weeks
Bishop Esher has ordained several can
didates for holy orders in In
diana and Michigan and should
the next general conference In Cleve-
land decide that the suspension Of the
bishops were legal and valid, the status
of the ministers ordained by them in
the meantime will become a very serious
question. The council cannot very we'll
declare that the bishops were exercising
unlawful functions and at the same time
uphold the ecclesiastical position OF the
newly fedged divines, snd hence If the
bishops are defestcd~ a court or faw may
be called upon to pass on the issues
growing out of the troubles in the
church.

Satisfied With BIsmarck's Retirement.

ST.. PETERsBUR6, April Is.-In this
city the news of Prince Bismarck's re-
tiremeut has been received with gratifi-
cation. In Vienna it at first produced
alarm, but this has been changed to a
feeling of satisfaction now that General
Caprivi has been nominated as his sue
cessor in the chanceIlorship. In Paris
the prevalent opinion is that the situa-
ton is in no wise altered. The strong
mar armed who has kept his house in
peace so long is naturally an object of
aversion in Russia for the triple alliance
which he formed and has maintained
for the last few years has effectually
kept in check that turbulent and am
bituous power. In Germany and Aus
tria the new chancellor is regarded as a
man Of pacific temper and liberal ideas,
but no one man will again combine the
three great offices Of chancellor, foreign
minister and Prussian premier, and no
one man is ever likely TO be to the En-
peror William what Prince Bismarck
was to his grandfather. He is not the
kind of monarch to tolerate a
new Charles Martel or even a
Richelieu. Fortunately the re-
tirement of the chancellor
twenty years after the establishment Of
the modern German empire occurs at a
time of entire tranquility. There is no
movement of troops on the Russian
frontier: not even a squabble between a
German and q Frenchman In the Vosges
or a sputter of fire from the volcanic Bal
kan provinces. Even we're William the
second the ~fire-eater he was represented
to be when he assembled the throne he
would not just now be disposed TO break
the peace of Europe, and to do him
justice he has thus far disappointed
everybody. A young emperor with gen.
erous instincts and keen sympathy for
the people may ride far when he goes
alone and is not compelled to move at
the pace OF a veteran chancellor. Hope
springs eternal in the human breast"
and while giving due honor to the great
chancellor, many look upon his retire.
mentas marking the commencement of a
new and brighter era for the people OF
Europe.
