Bra The Hcbonsollern Casar is, we ay, en- whl deavornhgto set up a regime exaetly par- clei allel to that ofthe old Cmsars of Rome. In lfs the new German Empire the Sovereign is sid everything, the people nothing. The Em- eve peror has destroyed Plrussian freedom, and ant is destroying the liberties of the minor am States. In Prussia, although the abadow of oal a Constitution still remains, the Sovereign to( is alone snpreme. Whenever he thought wv proper he has laughed at the contalof the dr laws. Whenever the terrified Lower House Pr exhibited a spark of msanl spirit he has wl trampled It into silene with iron heel. He c bhas dealt with the liberties of the Press as pr he dealt with the liberties of Parliament. oo At present a Prussian Jornal can only ap purchase its safe existence by slavish adu- P lation of the powers that be. Hehasre hi duced the Protestant Church to the humble role of a branch of internal police. Alone sj between the Emperor and absolute domin ion there stands one power-the Catholic Church. To break down the last free In- sm stitution of Prussia is the passionate desire ' of Prinee Bismarck, his associates, and bles master. The glove thrown them by the h "Government the Catholics of Prussia have v picked up. Most willing to give unto Casaar what is Caesar's, they also are determined ci to render unto God what is God's. For ti Fatherland they bled at Weissenberg; for a Fatherland they watered the Loire with c their blood. To heliberties of their Church h they now cling with dauntless tenacity. b The best and most obedient of subjects in temporal matters, they refuse to place their spiritual liberties in the bands of any b earthly prince. Hence it is tht there are b to-day occuring on Prusslan soil scenes I with which our own annals have made us a only too familiar. The Berlin correspondent of the Time no friend or advocate of German Catholicity -has recently given the world an epitome a of the Penal Laws which a servile Parlia meat has adopted at Prince Bismarck's bid- I ding. This code Is entirely aimed at de stroyinl the liberties of the Cathollo Charch sad making it in Its most spiritual relatios the slave and shadow of the State. For example, acceording to the new laws, no priest can be appointed to any living with out the consent of the Government. No bishop can censure a priest without obtain iag the consent of the Government. But these and other kindred enactments are eclipsed by the provision with regard to the schools and seminaries in which the Catholic clergy are educated. A clause In the new laws enacts that the State shall haVe supreme control over the programme and management of these in stitations--a law which would be exactly aralleled if Parliament declared that Eng lash Protestant gentlemen should have the absolate control and supervislon of the ed ucation at Clonliffe. And it must be re membered that these laws are not in the nature of a mere brlfum fias men. The sword of persecution has been drawn and is extended over the neck of Catholic Ger many. The Prince Archbishop of Breslau -a strong ecclesiastical Liberal, who. was one of the leaders of the Inopportunists at the Vatican Council-found it nect ssary to expel from his chapter his dean, the Rev. Baron von Rikthofen, who had publicly joined the "Old Catholic "movement. The Government has replied by declurng It will not recognize as legal any appointment to a living made by the Prince Bishop till be restores the Baron to this. The Archbishop of Cologne has been cited before a criminal tribunal, to answer for having suspended certain priests who had joined the " Old Catholie" movement. A similar proseco tieon has been instituted against the Arch bishop Ledoohowski, the prelate who pre aides over the archdioeese of Posen, or Prmssian Poland, for havalg appointed a perish priest without the treave of the an thoritiea. But it is on the law of tie sem inaries that the grand struggle will take place. Tbe blbhps bare with unanimouns voice declined to phlae their seminari-es under the control of the State. The Gov ernment has responded by an assault on some of the most prominent of the Gee man prelates. The Bishop of Ermelaud has been deprived of his official inaose, the Bishop of Fldla has had his boys school closed, and the Archbishop of Posen hasbeen informed that the youugclerioe to his seminary wlli be deprived of the im munities hitherto e,,joyed by Pruosiag eccleiiastics, and dratted into the army tm carry a nuusk~ h the ranuks.
