refused to do so. A court-martial was ordered to try the Emperor. Europe was shocked at this viola tion of civilized warfare and entered a protest. Austria and Belgium would have interfered but for the threatening attitude of the United States. The court IF artial convicted Maximilian and two of his generals, who were ordered executed. At sunrise on the morning of July 19, 1867, Maximilian and his two genes- als were shot. The civilized world was shocke1 ] at this brutal method of warfare, and the murder of Maxi. milan is a blot upon the escutcheon of the Republic of Mexico. Even Juarez is said to have endeavored to prevent the execution. The world has condemned It, and even at this late day the Mexican minister at Washington, who prosecuted Maxi milan before the court martial, is being snubbed and sighted in a so. cal way by the representatives o: European governments. Charlotte, the wife of MaximiIian, died rav ing maniac, thus adding still great CT distress to the tragedy.

ID the meantime the civil war was over in the United States and this government entered an emphatic protest against the invasion of American soil by French troops. The United States asserted the Mon roe doctrine and declared it's inten- ton to enforce it. These protests became so vigorous aud threatening that Louis Napoleon withdrew bis troops from Mexico in 1866 and Maximilian was forced to rely upon
 his own resources. He was urged to return to Europe with the French troops, but declined. Encouraged by the attitude of the United States aud the withdrawal of French troops the Mexican Liberals soon organized an army against the imperial gov ernment. Juarez, who had fled to Washington, negotiated loan with the United States. In May 1867 the Mexicans under Gen. Escobedo, met 10000 imperial troops under Maximilian and his generals at Queretaro, in northern Mexico. On the night of May II Maximilian and his imperial encampment were be- trayed by Lopez, and Maximilian fell into the hands of his enemies. The Mexeans offered the Emperor an opportunity to escape, but he

There was no more fitting place in all Mexico to celebrate the anniver- sary of the battle of Puebla than Juarez, for no man was more con- spicuous during that perlod or play ed more important part than General Juarez. Juarez was an Indian of pure blood and is the only full -blooded Indian to have ever been President of Mexico. In 1857 as chief justice of the supreme court he succeeded to the presidency. He was Liberal of the strongest type and confscated the property of the church. This aroused the clergy and their fo flowers against him. The Mexican clergy appealed to the Catholic countries of Europe for assistance. Notwithstanding the confscation of church property, the finances of Juarezs government went from bad to worse, and in July, 1861, he decreed a suspension of payment of the indemnities due to England and France. This caused the invasion and occupation of Vera Cruz oy the joint armies of France, England and Spain. Upon payment of the indemnity, England and Spain withdrew, but Frarce was more ambitious and continu ued the war. On May 5, 1862, the Mexicars gained a substantial vic tory over the French at Puebla, but France sent endorsements and Puebla finally fell into the hands of the French on May IS, 1863.

At the time Napoleon III, the
 adventurer, was ruler over France. He had wild ideas of conquest, and used the appeal of the clergy and the repudlation of indemnities as an excuse for the invasion and con. quest of Mexico. He refused 70 withdraw his troops when Englar d and Spain sailed back across the Atlantic. It was his idea to build up a great French empire on the American continent, and be would doubtless have succeeded, (for Mex leo was then weak), but for the interference of the United States and the vigorous enforcement of the Monroe doctrine. After the victory of the French invaders and the ia Of the leading cities, including Puebla on May IS, 1863, the French Generals caused an Assembly oi Notables to be held, who decided in faYor of Monarchy in place of a Republic, and Maximiliau, Archduke Of Austria, was chosen Emperer.

NEW SOCIAL
Rev. w. III. Wise Will Work with the
Co-Operatfye Commonwealth.

Cooperative Commonwealth.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
GREENCASTLE, Ind, Aug. 22-The
member OF College-avenue NJ. E. Church,
the largest in the city, were surprised to-
day to learn that Rev. w. H. Wise, who for
two years has been their pastor, had re-
signed. For some time Mr.. Wise has been
giving a great deal of attention to the new
social reform movement as taken up by a
number of ministers of whom the Rev. j.
Stitts Wilson and Rev. ]. H. H~ollingsworth,
Of Chicago, are prominent. Mr.. Wise does
not leave the church but only Its settled
pastorate. In stating the reasons for his
move Mr.. Wise said: MY action does not
reflect upon my church, for it has been most
loyal and cordial in it's support Of my mes
sage and was never SO sympathetic as now.
/ shall unite with Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Holl-
ingsworth, of the social comrade. and live
In Chicago. We will immerse ourselves in
the life OF the people and seek with many
others to give an answer to the social prob
lem that to-day confronts civilization. Chris
tlanity cannot advance until the present
fearful antithesis between the teachings OF
Jesus on brotherhood and the present COM
petitive social system be abolished. Our
work will be to herald the gospel of the
kingdom Of God on earth; to arouse the
social conscience to the wrong and injustices
of our present competitive system; to call
men to lives Of righteousness and love to
humanity: to the Christ life that makes US
Saviors; to seek to save the people from i'm
pending social slavery by proclaiming the
truths of the cooperative commonwealth
which shall abolish involuntary poverty and
guarantee to every man the right to work
and the produce OF his toll. We will give
ourselves to unceasing teaching everywhere
we are invited; in the churches and halls,
before clubs, etc., and in the open air we
will speak to the great unchurched peo-
pies, thus seeking to leaven all classes with
this Christ gospel"
A committee has been appointed to confer
with the presiding elder and seek, a sue
cessor to Mr.. Wise TO be appointed at the
coming session of the Northwest Indiana
Conference, which will meet In Frankfort
next month. Mr. Wise Is one of the most
Intimate friend Of Rev. W., w. Tippy, of
Terre Haute, who recently preached along
the same line in Meridian-street Church, In
