Tho recent strugelo in Germany, whero sucoess in a great me&suro deemed essential to the preservation of the empire has beon oarriod only after exhaust El jng every resource of power, by e majority so meagre as to be next door to dofeat Is an in itruotivo illustration. Tho prosperity of the Church of Home in Its exterior affairs has been duo, in a largo extent; to tho exalted wisdom with whloh its government has been administered through the Saored Collego and Council of tho Propa ganda, composed of tho ablest Cardinals, ap pointed for the direction of tho missions of the Catholic Church. The Propaganda is ono of the most conservative Institutions of the Church, and has existed for over throe hun dred years. From the time of the first es tablishment of a Catholio colony on this side of the Atlantic undor Lord Baltimore, down to tho recent new departure under Mgr. Satolll. the Council of the Propaganda has exercised appellate and supreme adminis trative authority upon all Questions relating to eooleslastloal government in this as well as la other foreign countries. The delibera tions of this body, when formulated In decrees and signed by the Cardinal Protect and the Secretary, have been declared to havo the force of Apostolio Constitutions which must be Inviolably observed. The Cardinal Pre fect is the presiding representative head of the college, and promulgates Its de rees In that capaolty. Bo is assisted by sub alterns who are the boads of departments appertaining to exterior affairs. All questions are deliberately examlnod in the light of ex perience, with cautious caro. and settled within tho Churoh. Theoutsido world, hlth , orto, has known nothing that could be con ', oealod as to questions, differences, and trials in tho administration of Papal authority in the United States or olsowhere Undor this Buldanoe. so judiciously concoivod and so ably and successfully exorcised, the Catho lio Church of tho United States was estab lished in its humble origin, and has been nurtured and aggrandized to its present remarkable dimensions. In 1808 tho Propaganda had established tho flees of Now York. Philadelphia, Boston, and Baltimore, the last-named being mado the metropolitan diocese: and ovory stop of prog ress hore since has been mado under tho direction of these eoes. The results of tho administration of the Propaganda Within this jurisdiction may bo shown by statistics. There are in tho United I States noarly nine million Catholics, Including nearly ten thousand prlosts; there are eight thousand flvo hundrod churches, three thou sand five hundred stations, eighteen hundred chapels, tblrty-slx seminaries, one hundrod and twenty-seven collegos, six hundred and fifty aoademlos, threo thousand six hundrod paroohlal schools supported by Catholio con tributions, attendod by about olglit hundred thousand children: two hundrod and fifty asylums, caring for an avsraso of noarly thirty thousand orphans; and four hundred and slxtr-threo other charitable Institutions. When tho proporty connoutcd with these churches and Institutions Is taken Into consideration, In addition to all the other multitudinous concerns appertaining to them, an Idea, however inadequate, may be obtained of the extent of tho Interests, spiritual and exeoutlvo. demanding goneral administration, and of the Incalculable num ber of the Issues. Incidents, and questions In Yolvod In the primary dlroctlon. If crandour of tuccoss can be considered evldonco of wise guidance, certainly tho Propaganda Is en titled to the highest moed of approbation. In this prosperous, harmonious, and ad 7anclne condition of the affairs of the Churoh of Homo In this oountry, tho sovereign ruler has evldontly determined on a chango of pol ler and administrative dlreotton of a radical character, tho effect of which upon tho spirit ual wolfaro of so large and valuable a portion of our pooplo It may not bo out of place to con stdor in a frlondly spirit. Apparently dlsre . carding tho Propaganda nnd Us administra tive jurisdiction, the Popo has commissioned to hi Cardinals, Dishorn, priests, and pooplo If, nn Apostolio riolegato, Mgr. Batolll. an Italian I Archbishop, to be and rorauln Jn control or the f Catholic Churoh In this country; and we r-i learn that lie U to havo a residence i of suitable dignity and impresslveness i nt or neir Washington. Tho authority of Mgr. Satolll was not clearly defined at the out sot : but hols now undorstood to bo tho direct reprosontatlvo of tho Head of the Church, and to hnvo summary ecclesiastical authority of tho highest order. If I wero to dosignnte his powers In legal language, I should say that ho has a gonoral powor of attorney from tho Popo to do anywhero and ovorywhoro that whfoh tho Sovereign Pontiff oould do it person ally present: and his acts aro ratified In ad vance Ilenco he has boon called In Church circles nnd olsewhero tho Deputy Pope, nnd other designations havo recognlzod his exalted and unlimited reprosontatlvo authority. Coming ns Mgr. Satolll did. a stranger to our rooplo and evon to our languago. ho necessarily dopendei upon tho alliances ho should form and tho agencies ha should consult as to the Influences whloh should control his nets. Has ho allied himself Impartially? Has he consulted wisely? These uro very Impor tant considerations. Myriad appeals nnd quos tlonB of dtsclpllno and Insubordination from nil parts of tho country. In nppnrent disregard of any regularity of appeal, hao nlroady ovor wholmod him. Tho first signal oxamplonnd moBt Important act of his administration has been tho nummary rotnstatoment of tho Hoy. Edward MoOlynn from tho oxoommuntc&tlon of Archbishop Corrlgnn and tho ratification and approval of the Propaganda; nnd, so far as surfaao Indications go, those who havo chafod undor tho nocessary dlsciplino of tho Church, as woll as thoso who havo openly and defiantly rebollod against Its authority, have beon token into favor nnd hall his com ing as that of a liberator. Tho reinstatement of McGlynn appears to havo boon accomplished without a hearing or notice to Archbishop Corrlgan. to whom toll tho duty, according to tho canons ot tho Church, of promulgating tho sontence. In faot this archdlocoso and its distinguished administrator would appear to bo under a sort of ban, chlofly on account of tho UcQlynn imbroglio. Tho princlplo neces sarily proolalmod In the policy ot administra tion adopted In, tho caseotHcQlynn is ot wide spread consoquonoe. Before considering tho effoct of tho decision In that case and the corresponding Ibsuos, let us take a brief retrospective glance at the administration ot this archdiocese whose affairs appear to bo so directly lnvolvod In tho overturning lino of action upon which tho new authority has entered. Cardinal McCloskey. tho immedlato prodo cessorof Archbishop Corrlgan, was a man of learning and piety. Gifted with graceful elo quence, he fills an honored placo In tho his tory of the Church. Ho lackod, howovor, the supreme, dominating qualities of tho vlrllo and powerful John Hughes, his predecessor, who was ever ready to tako the field with In domitable courage against the foes of the Churoh. whether within or without. How long would McGlynn haTO darod to stand up in a publlo meeting, claiming to be a priest, whllo reviling the Church, lta rovored head, and its most saored authority, when Archbishop Ruches was In his prime? But the hand ot Borne was not so near, or its grasp so ready, then; and those clothed with authority wore sternly sustained by tho Sovereign Pontiff in their wise discipline. Archbishop McCloskey was of a gentlo. confid ing nature; ho eouldnot bo severe; and age and Infirmity arrived to weaken his powers. Necessarily the command In his hands had be come relaxed in his declining years. Arch tlsbop Corrlgan, for a period, was bis assist ant, but be was subordinate, and did not control. Therewas.infact.no rigid rule then prevail ing, and the priesthood felt a freedom which know no restraint, except their own innate goodnoss and sense of duty. Priests aro like othor men: some can rulo themselves, some need to be ruled. Whon Archbishop Corrlgan was called to his high office of administrator of4h!s dloceso, ho found a condition ot things greatly nondlng Arm control. Ho had not reached his high dis tinction through accident He was an ec eloslastlo woll known and woll proved. His superior endowments, vigor of Intellect, erudi tion, and breadth of character, had markod him out for the promotion whloh had regularly attended his progross. Acoordlng to tho estab lished rule ot the Church, his advancement was measurably, at least, duo to tho suffrages of his fellow prlosts as well as to the watchful and careful judgment ot tho deciding hierarchy. As an experienced director in the Church, he boro tho highest reputation, when called to this jurisdiction. It Is the eimplo truth to say that no citizen could bo held In hluher regard for his qualities as a member ot this community, and for the wisdom and dignity with which he has discharged the duties of his responsible ptation so Important to the general wolfaro. It has always beon tho wlso aim of tho Church to place In high positions Its bright est and strongest representatives; and Arch bishop Corrlgan has conspicuously distin guished himself as thechlof Catholic dignitary of this metropolitan centre He commands the eonfldenoe and affectionate regard of all committed to his spiritual leadership, outside of tho limited Influences to which we havo ro ferrod. and no one oould stand higher than he does In the esteem ot the conservative men of the Church In this oountry. the mon ot per sonal weight who contrlbuto so largely to the dignity and Importance of Catholicism in North America It would be dlffloult to overostlmato the duties, responsibilities, and cares dovolvlng on tho Catholio Archbishop of this dloceso. Thore are over 800,000 worshiping Catholics undor his jurisdiction. There arof25 priests, 208 churches, 43 stations, 00 chapels, a seminary, 4 collegeB, 40 academies, 100 parochial schools, attended by 40,024 children, and 8 asylums caring for 2,514 orphans. It Is the duty of tho Arohblshop to know tho condition ot each church and tho conductor each priest under his cognizance that tho highest aim of Church direction shall bo main tained. Besides all thiH, ho Is the Chief Direc tor of all the Institutions of learning nnd char ity nlthln his jurisdiction. Ills duties aro In cesiant and of a character requiring unfailing vigilance, energy, and the highest supervisory capacity. When Archbishop Corrlgan entered 1 upon his duties, he discovered very much. It is well known, requiring a guiding and chasten ing hand, and his work has redounded In a wondorful degree to tho purity, growth, and Influcnco of tho Church and tho efflotencyot Its priestly force. But thoro wcr e some of tho priesthood who did not tako kindly to tho now rulo, or to tho restraint which tho welfare ot the Church requlrod. It Is ono thing to bo a prlost and nnothcr thing to havo a priestly character. Untortunatolr. thoso who do not possoss tho natural vocation aro tho last to acknowledge It It thoy discover tho fact the attractions of a sottlod position. In chargo ot a church and congregation, with influential recognition, mako them tenacious ot the temporal advan tages, although Indisposed to conform to the required dlsciplino of the priestly station. There aro two olassos ot this description of recusancy, the political priest and tho social prlost Tho political prlost Is not content with tho euro of souls. Ho yearns tor tho arena of sooular affairs, for temporal as woll as spiritual direction, to exorclso his Influonco In tho FoderaL Stato, and mu nicipal government Tho othor. tho social priest, has luxurious tastos, and Is soduced by tho alluromonts whloh mako life so sensuously attractlvo to tho man ot tho world; he finds a prlvuto carriage tho Indulgences ot Dol inontco's, and othor gratifications requisite to his appetizing necessities. Ho loos his sybarltla case, and feols with deop re eontmont tho hand of discipline. Those representatlvo claseos. as all know who havo cognizance of tho developments In con spicuous places In this groat metropolis, cave Archbishop Corrlgan Infinite trouble from tho beginning. A third class might bo named, that ot the priest loarnod in tho law. who knows It all, and Is evor seeking for a client priest to dofond against tho claims ot suporlor authority. This is tho pettifogging priest, who does his share of mischief, though under subjection. These Worldly Priests havo boon kept undor control by tho firm but pru dent rulo of Archbishop Corrlgan without open scandal, but with much rebellious, though innoxious, muttering. Tho political priests were not so open to tho curb. As a representative ot this class Dr. McGlynn became a conspicuous rebel. His overt action was dollberately and defiantly manifesto. 1 In tho famous municipal struggle for tho control ot tho govornmont ot this city, tho momorablo contest betwoen Abram 8. Hewitt Henry George, and Thoodoro Booso volt The contest was roally between Howltt representing evory soctlon of the local Democ racy of this city, and George, who sought to combine tho laboring mon as a class into a political party for tho enormous spoils of office, whloh tho opportunity to tako possession of tho city of New York might afford. McGlynn had previously takon open ground as a politi cian in favor ot tho Republican candldAto for thoPresldonor. McGlynn's support ot George was Important. lib was tho head ot ono of the largest ehurches ot the city, with a numerous and Influential congregation; and ho was ac claimed for the great following and Influonco which his prlostly character enabled him to bring undor the load and banner of George tor a municipal triumph. On this occasion Mc Glynn openly declared on the stump that if he were not a priest bo would bo a politician. Unfortunately ho did not aocopt the converse alternative. If he had not beon a politician, ho might havo been a priest McGlynn belongs to tho mastiff, masterful ordor of men: ho sooks to rend those who will not submit to his pasalonato will. Ho says of himself that he Is cyclonic and a hurricane storm centre. There has novor been anything small about him when valuing himself; success has lod him to go West for sufficiently glgantlo par allels. Cortainly bo does not possess any ele ment of the spirit of the divine exemplar ot priestly character, the meek and lowly Saviour of man. Wo all rooall Dr. McGlynn's final act In defying on order conflrmod by the authorities at Home; his Anti-Poverty Society; his Inflammatory speeohes at the Coopor In stitute; his abuso of the Pope. Archbishop Corrlgan, and tho rest of It It appears that through the Intervention ot the new adminis trator, McGlynn has boeu taken Into high favor, his course approved and adopted as a precodont, and all prlosts aro Inferontlally told to go and do llkowlso If thoy wish to obtain the highest reward In prlostly distinction at Home. It will not bo claimed that MoOlynn la to be maintained with exceptional license; that what Is right In him would be wrong In other priests. No: the precedont appears to be established that Catholio priests may at tend polltioal meetings and advocate any po litical doctrine thoy may choose to approve. BIoGlynn may advocate tho single-tax doatrlne. and address publlo assemblages, when and whero he thinks proper, on that or any othor subject Other priests advocating tho causo of good government or some equally moral lssuo will, of course, bo hoard on tho stump advocating whatever political faction or inter est may furnish them with tho strongest In ducement At times we may find tho Church divided against Itsolf: ono or more priests taking a particular side at a ward mooting, and others the opposite side. Tho policy of our republlo demands the sop aratlonot Church and State. In tho Catholio Church the priest and peoplo stand pooullarly close in all that relates to human sympathy and Its binding bonds, mado especlallylntenso by the confessional and by saoramental von. oration. Tho priest Is In a paternal relation to his congregation, and Is called Father. Ho Is the confidential friend of his parishioner, the comforter in slekness and sorrow, and tho last filond at the deathbed, bringing sustain ng consolation to tho departing one In the promises of eternal llfo, now rudely those tonder relations must be lacerated when the priest enters the arena ot poll'loal or rersonal strife, all can undorstand. It destroye good foellng and the Influence that pprlngs from it substituting warfare, bitterness, resist ance, and personal hatrod. Tho true priest can'ba only a prlost nt all tlmos and to the end. Tho deeper, broader, vital question Is; Will not tho status, Influence, nnd poaceful rule ot the Church be materially shakeif and endangered by priestly interference with eoo- nlar political affairs, which the precodent of McGlynn establishes ? Will not tho Church bo compelled to sustain tho opposition which tho priestly support ot soculnr doctrlnos must necossarllr entail? But In tho moan tlmo groat Is tho rejolctng among tho enemy at tho MoOljnn triumph, and even tho social priest, tho mask aban doned, now talks with Insolont Innuondo and threatening mannor against thoso high In authority, who havo hold hlmtohts duty, as far as possible. Has not a certain dogrco of demoralization sproad through tho Church already ? Cortainly nono ot tho high adminis trative Catholio dlcnltarlos ot our country, not within the favorod circle, feels It In tho least degroo prudent to do any disciplinary act which tho prlost callod In quostlon may not approve lost ho may find anothor McOhnn. Burtsell, or other conspicuous robot against Churoh authority to clamor In public, to ar raign his motivos with vlrulont porsonal ln dlctlveness. and to throaten htm with Mgr. Satolll. with tho flnalo of tho roaroant prlost as In tho caso ot McGlynn, becoming tho most favored, though not tho prodigal son ot tho Church, for whose gracious adherence not submissive roturn. the prlzo fatted calf is to bo klllod and sorvod up with glorifying inconso and world-wide rejoicing. It cannot, unfortunately, bodonlod thatthcro Is a foellng of dissatisfaction among Catholics with tho Innovation that has been Introduced, and tho sensational developments which havo attended Its progross to this tlmo, and otap prohenston as to what may happen next What form ot exprosslon this dissatisfaction will tako. If It takes any but that ot oxpoo tancy. for a porlod, cannot bo foretold. Thoro la a submissive elemont among tho groat body of Catholics amounting almost to superstition, whloh leads them to boar and forboar vory much. If. howevor. tho feellnc I havo ro forrod to should find vont it would lead to discouraging consequence:. If It should bo oxprossad In tho contributions to Potor's penco It might show a startling oxhtblt It Is wise In the governments of Church and State In tboso times, to rofraln from a reckloss and arbitrary assortlon ot power, and to rule with calm wisdom and considerate fairness. Especially so does this appear to bo ro quired for the Itoman Church In this country, with Its authority enforced so far from tho Papal throne Vico-regal government may bo tolerated in India under tho rulo of Groat Britain, but ruling by doputy may bo carrlod too far in church mattors. It should Le undor stood that It Is bettor to depond on tho consent of the governed to the established ordor ot things than on blind submission to whatoor may belmposod. When tho decrees of tho Propaganda upon questions relating to ecclesiastical adminis tration In this country wore announced, thoy ame through tlme-honorod institutions, in the accustomed voice ot the Church, without local agitation, and carrying with them a solf exeoutlng powor. Thoy woro accepted without question, and no ono was heard to murmur. How will It be with tho porsonal government proposed to bo substituted here, now, how ever regal may be tho vice-royal surround ings, tho Intrigues of a local court and tho de crees proclaimed with newspaper sensational ism and tho brass band always In full play, of which wo havo bad admonishing examples ? This question has been answered In the pro testing though submitting murmuring of the peoplo whoso interests are at stoke. Will tho condition Improvo? It Is well known that at the advent of Mgr. Satolll to this country. Archbishop Corrlgan was on the eve of being made a Cardinal. This distinction was duo, not only to tho Impor tance ot tho seo he has so efficiently and power fully represented, tho first in the United States as the metropolitan centra of the country, all things conslderod doserving and requiring mora recognition at Homo than oven Paris or London; but It was a reward and promotion richly earned by tho Archbishop. The vic torious rebols give out that no Cardinal's hat shall come this way. They have fixed that Black lines aro to bo drawn around the repre sentation of tho geographical territory ot tho Empire City ot tho Westorn world, on the Papal map. marking a prosorlbed district It McGlynn and his sympathizers have suc ceeded In tholr profane hopos In this dlrco tlon. vorlly the tables havo boon turned. In the midst of all this storm Archbishop Corrlgan pursues tho even tenor of his way with Bore a e calmness and uncomplaining sub mission. No ono would know from any mani festation on his part that the enomy has triumphed ana that ho has been proscribed. Ho Is a true soldier of the cross, looking up ward If ho cannot look earthward. Ho abates no jot of his faith or duty. Does the groat chango I have beon consid ering moan znorothan has toon announced? Does it mean a permanent separation ot the government of the Catholio Church In this country from tho control of Home? If this Is so, should It not be a moro representative change and should not tho constituency be hoard in the choice ot tholr now ruler? If wo are to havo an American Pope, In fact or In offect why should not Cardinal Gibbons be Invested with tho dignity and sovorolgn power? Ho was, practically, at tho head of the Catholio Church In this country beforo tho advent ot Mgr. Satolll from Italy. He is a patriotic American citizen, has lived his llfo undor our Institutions and among our people Ho has earned and achloved tha highest rank heretofore permlttod to an Amorlcan Catholic, by meritorious services In relation to the Catholio constituency ho would bo callod to govern. He is as able as he Is omlnent. and Is possessed ot tho highest administrative and judicial capacity. Ills clovntion would strengthen every fibre of faith and of hope that binds the American Catholio to the ancient faith. A Catuouo Auemcan. "lVur!U' Fair ExcuralOBB nt Hnir Uutta.

London, July 31. Dangerous uncertainty still exists In tho blamoso situation. It Is Im possible to reconoilo French promisos and declarations tn Purls with tha notions ot tho 1'ronch ofilcors on the coast of Slam. A des patch sent from Bangkok to-night says that Admiral Humann, now commanding a squad ron of thlrtoon ships, has just given notice ot a fresh blookndo to begin on Wednesday. Ho hnshadtho tomorltr to direct tho llrltlih war ships Pallas and Surprlso to movo outsldo tho lino of blockade Minister Pale. who, It was roportod from Parts, had boon ordered to return to Bangkok, hasgonoto Saigon. It is loarnod from tho Slamcso Location at Paris that Franca has demanded temporary possession of tho port ot Chantaboon. noar Bangkok, ni an additional guaranteo of tho fulfilment of all demands. No reply has yot boon mado to this last condition. England, In viow ot Franco's bnd faith last week In declaring tho blockade without noti fying tho powers, li naturally suspicious of tho present situation. It Is fonrod that tho Fro noli naval forco will commit somo fresh outrago whloh Franco will disavow in ono breath whllo she compliments tho perpotrators In the noxt. The French explanation ot to day's ovonts will probably bo that tho Govern ment's latost ordors had not reached tho French Admiral. It Is significant on this point that tho pross mossago filed at Bangkok at 10 o'clock to-night reaohed London at 0 o'clock, tho dlfforonco In tlmo being six hours. Tho French promlso not to Interfero with British commerce wasglvon sixty hours previous. Those uncertainties lod Lord Rosebery to postpono the statomont ho intended to make to Parliament to-day. and ho is again devoting himself to tho situation with tho utmost vig ilance Thonssuranco that tho fullest recognition would be given to British rights in the dis puted torritory above tho eighteenth parallel, was received from Franco last night In answer to Lord Dufferen's protest against tho French occupation. It was believed by tho British Go eminent that this assured a peaceful solu tion of the difficulty. This confidence Is no lonsorfolt Later. After midnight Inquiries at tho British Admiralty brought a response from tho official In charge that confirmation had boon received from Bangkok of tho report that tho Fiench Admiral had given notice of a fresh blockade to begin on Wednesday. It was addod that "thoro is no quostlon of British gunboats leaving Bangkok" in response to French or any othor domands. JS'jlfl Lmltl Vitu. London, July31. A despatch from Bangkok, dated Monday, 7 V.

Unless the French Gov ernment interposes quickly, an attack on Bangkok soems cortnfn. The trading com munity is surprised that Humann Is still al lowed a freo hand." A l'lirH correspondent says that It has boon loarnod from good authority that Franco de mands as security from Hiam that tho terms of the ultimatum will be curried out and the tem porary custody of Chantaboon, a town near tho Uult of t-inm; also that biam shall estab lish no military stations at certain places near tho frontier of Cambodia or within a certain distance ot tho Mekong ltlver. Bopb ing in tho Houho of Commons to-day to n question askod by the Hon. George Curzon (Conservative). Sir Edward Grey said that he was unable to gie exact Information regard ing tho blockade of the Siamese coast and tho occupation of sovural Islands by the French. It was undorstood, howover. thnt tho occupa tion of tho Islands was only temporary, being In some wnyconnocted with the blockading operations. It did not nppoar thnt any Britisn vessels had been seized by the French. Tho Information at hand showed that two or threo British vessels had been stopped undor a mis apprehonsipn. 1'uiiN July 31, Owing to tho representa tions mado to M. Devolte, the Foreign Minis ter, by Lord OuIIorin. the British Ambassador to Franco, the question of n neutral zone be tween tho French possessions in tho blamoho peninsula and British Durmnh andthetihau titates has been sottlod satisfactorily. Tho ambiguous tono of yesterday's Cabinet oouncll In accepting Mam's surrender has ox cited much comment. It is genoraily undor stood that this tuno was adoptod for tho pur poso ot soothing International susceptibilities. It Is said on high authority that Franco In tends to take decisive steps to Insuro Hlam's currying out tho terms of the ultimatum. The blockndo ot tho blnmese coast will bo con tinued. It Is said, until Franco's demands are satisfied. The Irrneli foroo now present In blumeso waters ii believed to bo BUdlclont to make tho blockade efloctlvo. A prominent Paris merchant who owns warehouses In Bangkok lnunlntervlowto-duy expressed tho nnlnlon that decisive action Is necessary to restore the prestigo which France enjo) ed in hiam after iho adoption of tho com mercial treaty of 1HUO. French trade has re cently declined heavily, he said, tn oonso qunnco ot Fngllsh and Gorman enterprise nnd intrigues to destroy French Influence Ho bo ilesd that tha Btrong tone of the ultimatum would tend greatly to rostore the influonco ot Franco In Mum. The general opinion hero Is that tho lssuo ot tho contrmcrsy Is a triumph for French over F.ugllsh diplomacy. Itlsbellovod In the diplo mat circle thnt therewlll ho no disagreement between France and England in the delimita tion of the frontier.
