Germany end the Pope—Chureh and State. It might be easy enough to determine once for all the ever recurring dispute between temporal and spiritual powers if it could be brought to the definite basis of the case in which Jesus laid down the precept “render to Cagar the things that are Cesar’s, and to God the things that are God's ;"’ but. the essence of the difficulty in our own times is that the dispute turns on a more troublesome point. All agree upon the propriety of rendering to God and to Casar what is re- spectively theirs; but the difference that divides men bitterly is as to what is God's and what is Cmsar's. Certainly that is the point of the dispute throughout Europe—in Germany against the Pope directly; m Eng- land against ‘‘Vaticanism’ as a phase of religious thought; in France, in Spain, in Italy and Austria. And even the little whiffs of the great storm that occasionally stir our more tranquil atmosphere are solely due to want of perception of the real limits of politics on the one hand and religion on the other, In the story told by the evangelists Jesus | is represented as seeing through the ruse of the Herodians, who came to entrap him into some declaration regarding the sovereign authority, into a claim of some other than a purely immaterial power. Indeed, this sug- gestion that he should assert an authority that might put the spiritual in collision with the temporal power is not presented with the dignity of a temptation. It stands only as the foolish device of some shallow enemies, who were readily put aside. It seems scarcely necessary to say that if the Church held to-day the attitude taken by the Saviour on that occasion it would not come into col- lision with the political authorities in any civilized country. But, in the meantime, that device of an enemy has not only assumed the character of a great temptation, but the head of the Church, founded by him who rejected the functions of Cesar, succumbed to the temptation ages since, and has sat in Casar’s place and worn his purple. It is out of this historical fact—not out of his proper ecclesi- astical character--that the dispute of the Pope with Germany arises. The power which His Holiness claims to ex- ercise in Germany at this moment, and against which the German Premier fights so despe- rately, is not simply the power of the Shep- herd of Souls, but the power of a sovereign pontiff; a shadow only, but still a shadow of the power once legitimately exercised by a great many successive Popes, when the Pope of Rome was practically a Roman Emperor. | Now, Prince Bismarck is precisely the sort of man to carry out his quarrels logically. He very evidently takes a pride in being the man to go a step further in a quarrel than he ian- cal legislation, but legislation that affects morality and faith and religion by pressure imposed on the priesthood. With the difference in this position the characteristic vigor in dispute of the German Premier gives it suddenly a fillip of variety. He inquires who gave the Pope authority to supervise German enactments and to say what laws the Parhament may make and for what laws its authority is insufficient. By what right does he pretend to have functionaries in the imperial dominions subject to his control and not to the Empegor's? By what right do certain persons within the Empire pretend to be, independently of the sovereign, the emissa- ries and representatives of a putative foreign potentate? ‘And if you claim that more obedience is due to God than to man, I admit it; but how does that mean that more obe- dience is due to a man in Rome than to a man in Berlin?’ In this last sentence, recently uttered by the Prince in the German Parlia- ment, is the whole tone of the dispute on his side. The man in Rome is not only in no sense a divine authority, as he views the case, but he is no longer such an authority as he was practically in the days of the Holy Roman Empire. It was as a sovereign pontiff that the Pope reviewed the acts, of governments in Christian countries generally; but now that the sceptre of matenal sovereignty has passed from him, now that he is subject to the laws of a secular kingdom, though he may himself refuse to see the change in his position, others must recognize the change in his attributes. In all this the Prince seems to us far more logical than the Pope; and we believe that the better future of the Church is nearer to his than to the other side of the dispute, for his argument tends directly to the separation of Church and State, in so far as it combats the claim of the Church to that which is not within its province properly, but belongs,to the political power. From the American standpoint it iy judged that religion and politics are so totally different that there is searcely any conceivable relation between them; that the government of States and the care of souls are functions not to be joined or associated in any satisfactory way. And the tendency of progress throughout the world seems to be ineour direction on this point. Churches cannot be really independent ot the secular authority if they are not self-support- ing, and this they cannot be without absolute separation of Church and State. The Paris Salon. We publish in another column an interest- ing account of the principal works intended for the Paris Salon, By anticipation our readers get a peep into the world of art which centres in Paris, The in- evitable jealousies and suspicions are cies any one else dare go; and he is the first to recognize in a case of this sort that if you are troubled with shadows you must apply your remedy against the substance. At the present time the Pope assumes to nullify some regularly enacted laws of the | German Empire. He instructs the bishops | and priests of the Catholic Church in Ger- | many to refuse obedience to these laws—to re- their spiritual authority over the people in order to deprive the obnoxious enactments of the respect and obedience due to laws; and the priests and bishops have in many cases acted on the instructions with singular devo- tion. This, therefore, is resistance to the con- | stituted authorities by overt acts; and its pro- priety or impropriety, which will be judged ultimately by its success or failure, will be judged m the meantime in different quarters upon the opinion that may be entertained as to whether the political authority has, in mak- ing the laws, gone beyond the true sphere of the law-making power, and concerned itself with points of morality and faith rather than with government. It is claimed in Rome that this is what has been done, and that for this reason the enactments are without validity as law. In short, the position of the Church } party in Germany is analogous to that of the “higher law party,” of which we have had some experience in our own country. Rome makes a claim now that it never made in any country where the political authority was sub- ject to its will or in harmony with its will. It assumes the unusual attitude of a champion of religions liberty. It holds for the time, with Constant and the political philosophers, | that there is a part of the life of every human | creature into which government can only come ts an intruder where it is without right and cannot juctly exercise any control; and—here it does not agree with thé pbilosophers—that | in this sphere the Charch alone is supreme. | Are the German laws that have led to this dispute such as come within the claim made | by the Church? Do they invade that sphere in which only the religious authority should | be supreme? They regulate how and by | whom certain salaried offices of the German | Empire shall be filled, and they recite the reasons for which in defined cases the salaries shall be withheld and the offices become va- cant. Inasmach as these laws relate directly | to the disbursement of money raised by taxa- | tion in the German Empire they would seem | to be as clearly within the exclusive compe- | tence of the German government as laws on | any conceivable subject. But the persons | whose salaries are thus touched by the ‘‘eccle- | seen to be as active among the artists as when Buonarotti chafed at the popularity of Rafael. The younger men feel that they are unfairly and ungenerously treated by those whose great reputations give them a practical con- trol of the great mart where every artist in France hopes to show his wares. There would seem to be some _ injustice in the amount of space taken up by Academiciana and other privileged artists, and it certainly could do no harm to modify the rule which allows artists hors con- cours to occupy two-thirds of the walls of the Salon, irrespective of the quality of the works. In Paris art is an important industry, and its value can be estimated by the vast quan tities of pictures sent to this country. With true wisdom French governments have ever carefully developed the artistic talent of their people, and the result has been as profitable to French commerce os flattering to the national pride. In no other nation is the technique of painting so well understood, and as a result the French school stands far ahead of all competitors. The modern artist must journey to Paris if he would learn the- true use of his materials, and this is so generally recognized that art students from all points of the compass congregate at this Mecca of Art. Our American school of the future must be influenced by the French school, for under its inspiration the best and truest work yet achieved by American artists has been producod—Wiley, Bridgman, Thom, Healy—-whose works have a solid merit not found in the cantases of better advertised American artists, are representafves of the new native school. In the next generation reputatéon will have to be based on more solid foundations than may be derived from mere prettiness or a tinge of sentimentality. Every day sees art bécoming more emancipated, and the in- fluence of the press will soon render the individual artist independent otf acad- emies and professional or sbdcial cliques. Whenever injustice is done to a deserving artist the press in this country is always ready to secure for him a fair hearing, and we hope the example we to-day set the Parisian press of not waiting for the awards or decisions of. academies or hanging committees may lead them to advance one more step in the direc- tion of independent criticism. Echoes of the Religious Press. The education question continues to attract the attention of the religious press. The 0b- server comes to it this week, declaring that the State is under obligation to provide only such education as is necessary for its welfare, and that it ought not to teach foreign languages in siastical laws” are priests and pedagogues; education and worship are the subjects in- volved ; and the Church claims that the laws exercise an undue and improper pressure ties. Only they require that the person who officiates as priest or bishop sball be recog- nized by the government, and shall be ousted | from his position by the government from | which he draws his salary if he raises his voice against its supremacy within its own dominions. It is tolerably clear, therefore, | that the real point in dispute is as to where ‘on one hand is called politics on | the other. His Holiness claims supreme control over the religious instruction of cer- | shall not be taught, because it is not religion, but polities, But the government, which pays | would never treat him in the same | the salaries, says that the salaries shall not however, will be kindly | be paid, nor priest nor bishop officiate, unless remembered. would probably have been good king if he had not experimented with I. laws and give over all propagandism against each shall acknowledge the supremacy of Fo and this the Church says is not politi- its schools; that experiments in the use of German in some of our lower grade schools have shown that it tends to make poor Eng- against its doctrines. No doctrines are | lish scholars. And as Americans we need a | sought to be imposed by the German authori- common language to cement us more closely and to keep us united asa nation. The Tablet also gives an elaborate review of the rise and progress of our common school system, and makes the point that while denominational- ism was to be kept out of the schools they were permeated with Protestantism, which is essentially anti-Catholic, and therefore these schools are a standing injustice toward Cath- Moncment.—The monu- | the line is to be drawn between God and | olics so long as they remain in any of the late ex-Emperor of the Omsar.

And it expresses ite belief that as en croachments of the former. The Freeman's Journal endorses substantially Futher Walker's views on the school question and adds that the prohibition of sending children to godless sehools is not merely positive but is founded on the perception of moral evils, threatened or certain, The Methodist discourses on the money value,of education, and without giving any figures to show its value it draws the in- ference that scholarship is not cheap, that it is a precious ware, and, like other wares, the better article brings the better price ; and it argues that any kind of intellectual culture is better than the devices and attempts to dis- pense with learning. The Baltimore Catholic Mirror reasons against the gross mistake of the age that purely intellectual education makes men better—the intellect is not the whole man. ‘Knowledge without morals,’’ it adds, “is a devastating fire ; wealth without moral- ity is an incentive to corruption; power without morals takes the form of tyranny. Knowledge, wealth, power, without the sav- ing influence of morality, area triple origin jority of ministers in Rochester who have been interviewed on the school question in declaring that the use of the Bible in the public schools should be prohibited ; that we must either have non-sectarian schools, or none at all, after the American idea. The Evangelist shows the inconsistency of Catho- lics denouncing the public schools as godless and then turning round and asking to have their own sectarian schools incorporated with them. ‘We do not,'’ it says, ‘‘ask the public to support Presbyterian schools; why should we be asked to pay for Roman Catholic schools ?’’ How the Mayor Can Be of Service Despite the Governor. It seems now to be certain that the people of New York will have to wait a little longer before they receive from the Legislature those substantial reforms needed for the progress, prosperity and good government of tbe city. The political change resulting from the last general election was accepted as promising a better condition of affairs than had prevailed in our local administration for the preceding two years, but all hope of such an improve- ment as was then anticipated is now at an end. The fact that the revolution could not reach the State Senate, which remains politi- cally antagonistic to the Assembly and to the State and city governments, may be pleaded as an excuse fora continuance o{ some of the evils fastened upon us by the retorm hucksters of 1873. We had, perhaps, no right to expect that body to aid in honest legislation for the city of New York, even if we had secured an As- sembly capable of initiating sound and desira- ble measures. But the opposition of one branch of the Legislature is not a valid excuse for all the disappointment the citizens of New York have had to bear. Under the charter as it now is we might have had a strong, efficient and harmonious municipal government but tor the unfortunate differences that arose at the outset of their administrations between Governor Tilden and Mayor Wickham. If the Governor had adhered to the democratic principle of home rule, as applied to the city ot New York, and had made up his mind to study the interests of the metropolis rather than the interests of Compiroller Green, we might have had to-day municipal departments working in harmony and with vigor and liberality for the improvement of the city. With confidence renewed, business revived and the public finances on a sound basis we might have hoped for some practical niove~ ment toward the accomplishment of rapid transit and those other great works for which the city is languishing. But if we must abandon all expectation of these solid reforms for the present, there is no good reason why we should not insist upon relief from the many petty annoyances and abuses to which we have been too long com- pelled to submit. If Mayor Wickham finds his hands tied by the singular action of the Governor, so far as the removal of Mayor Havemeyer'’s office-holders are concerned, he can at least enforce the laws and protect the people in their rights. The shameful neglect of the streets by the Street Cleaning Bureau is dangerous to the public health, as well asa source of discomfort to the citizens. A bill now before the Legislature proposes to take the business of street cleaning from the Police Board and give it to a separate depart- ment or commissivn. This measure may be | a desirable one, or it may not, according as the bill is wisely or unwisely framed. [If it is a job simply seeking to give power over con- tracts and work to the Board of Aldermen and other politicians it will be no improve- ment on the present system. At the same time a change is so desirable that any law which promises an honest performance of the work would be hailed with general satisfaction. Popular sentiment favors the transfer of the business from the Police Board, but the police should, never- theless, be charged with the duty of com- pelling observauce of such ordinances as may be passed and of reporting all violations of law and all existing nuisances. In this di- rection much good may be accomplished by an active, efficient Mayor. He can compel the street cleaning authorities, whoever they mé@y be, to keep the crosswalks, at least, in decent condition, and his authority ought to be sufficient to insure the repair of holes at street crossings, which in slushy weather be- come ponds of filth knee doep. There are other petty abuses to which the Mayor's active inter‘erence might fiut a stop. An ordinance fixes the rates of fare to be charged by licensed hacks and cabs. The law is almost a dead letter, but a few striking examples might teach the owners of such vehicles useful lesson ‘The horse car companies are not famous for their attention to the satety and comfort of their passengers, and a sharp notice from the Mayor might have « salutary | effect in this direction. There are ordinances | regard to the erection of Yet we frequently see work suspended on New York is buildings for weeks and months, and the ob- | politically only a precinct of the Vatican the | structions are allowed to remain, to the an- the | demands of the Catholic Church here will be | noyance and damage of the neighbors, until complied with unless the Protestant popula- | the owners get ready to resume, Some per- tion arise in their might and resist the en- | son desires to move » wooden dwelling in the j which you cannot read, written by a man | words so well will be good members of society. | | should be cherished by all, and particularlyby walk, makes a half mile or so of bog for {oot passengers to wade through in wet weather and takes his own time about repairing the damage, if be ever re- pairs it at all. fn all these and many other petty annoyances the’ active interference of the Mayor would be useful and effective; for if he cannot remove iaconpetent and un- faithfal heads ot departments because the Governor stands in his way he certainly can compel a proper observance of the laws aud ordinances of the city and cam torce public officers to the active performance of their duties. The Influence of Orthography Upon Crime. : The importance of education as a‘means of preventing crime is universally admitted, and for that reason the present populérity of spelling bees is likely to have a marked effect on criminal statistics. The grounds of this opinion are not difficult to find. The reason with a capital M and‘a tail of little essesses and iseses, like a comet; why nobody writes Cincinnati or Massachusetts or Tennessee as plainly as we print them, and why no onecan tell in manuscript whether Mediterranean is written with one or two ts. The ignorant spelier is wrecked upon the multitudinous sees, ahd bad writing is used to make the green one seem well read; Thus bad spelling leads directly to chirographical delitescence, one of the worst offences known to the moral code. Hypocrisy is thus made an ele- ment of penmanship; but the ‘evil does not stop here. It passes from the writer to the reader of the scrawl. Bad writing is produc- tive of cursing, and who can tell how much Horace Greeley, Rufus Choate and Colonel Forney, public men with extensive correspond- ence, have done to make swearing a national vice? Every letter these great statesmen wrote went forth as a missionary to promote profanity. Colonel Forney, on the occasion of one of Mr. Choate’s great speeches, wrote him a complimentary letter, in which he said, in his poetical way, ‘You sum an heathen heaven in yourself, and top high crowned Olympus.” Mr. Choate read the sentence thus:—‘‘You seem an heathen in heaven, you wretch, at top a fly | blown bumpus,”’ and in a fit of anger wrote a most abusive reply, which Colonel Forney still keeps in bis album as a cordial invitation todinner. Now, is it not an inevitabie con- clusion that all of these great statesmen pur- posely wrote a bad hand because they were a little shaky in their spelling? We attribute to the enormous amount of their literary labors and correspondence the notorious prev- alence of blasphemy among compositors, the moral ruin of many a proof-reader and the habitual cursing of which Americans are accused. If the bad results of bad spelling ended in | the hypocrisy of bad writing and swearing | we should be rejoiced; but, alas! it does not. | Cursing always leads to anger, and many a | fierce quarrel bas been provoked by abusive language. An oath is generally answered by a blow, and thus assault and battery becomes the next step in crime. You receive a letter who cannot spell. Your passions are aroused, and to give vent to your anger you swear at your unoffending wife. That high-spirited | woman responds with the shovel, and you | rejoin with the tongs. The next thing ig that you are hung. After that it is | unnecessary to continue the story. Thus does one vice create another. It is a subject | for mathematical demonstration—«. g., as to- bacco smoking is to ram drinking so is bad | spelling to bad writing; as intoxication is to burglary so is bad penmanship to profanity; as burglary is to arson s0 is profanity to | strife; as arson is to cruelty to animals so is strife to bloodshed; and, finally, as cruelty to | animals is to Bergh so is bloodshed to marder. | The philosophical mind thus tracing the causes of crime from their effects feels a pro- found relief in the efforts now being made to purify the fountain-head of society. The | spelling match at the Cooper Institute last night is a part of the great reform which will be one of the glories of ourtime. The school- | boys and proof-readers whospelled the longest | “Let me spell the words of a people,’’ said | Montesquieu—or was it De Tocqueville— | “and I care not who pays their taxes." These | golden words from one who is acknowledged | to be the profoundest of modern thinkers those who harden themselves in crime by the | daily murder of the English language. | Brothers, we have had enoagh of war and strife, now let us resolve to have a long spell of peace. The Cardinal's Coach. It was for a long time, snd it may be yet, the custom in Rome that ¢ Cardinal should | not appear in the streets o1 foot. This was nota rule of the Church, bit it was an edict | of society. It also became 1 custom that the | Pope should present « newly made | Cardinal with a carriage, suitable 1m | | style and equipments to the dignity of his | great office. In this way carriages came to be considered ecclesiastical insignia, something | like the hat, the red stockings and the robes; | and, though coaches were o'ten seen without cardinals, a cardinal withom a coach was as | | impossible as a king withou: a throne. It is fitting, therefore, that now, when America is complimented with a Cardinal of her own, he should havea carriage worthy | | of himself and of the covutry. Archbishop | McCloskey, as he still retains that title, per- sonally, we have no doubt, would be con. | | tented to ride in almos: any seepectable | conveyance. He would be satisfied with | a gig, ® Broadway ‘bas, or a street | car (no, ho could not be satisfied with that) ; but this could not be permitted. The | expense was not to be thought of, and it was | resolved to have him in a -oach. In a coach, | therefore, the new Amencan Cardinal will make his appearance in the metropolis. The description we give elsewhere of this magnificent vehcle is almost as fine as the chérict itself, and we assure our readers in Earope and other —, upper part of the city, He destroys the side- but a carrSage maker could tell that it wa 3 206 @ real coach, And for Acht!{es’ self, there stood hts spear? Every one may*thus be sure that the Ameri can Cardinalate wi be honored with thé observance of all due. ceremonies, and we think we may safely «wy that if envy ever could enter the bosom of a Cardinal, which it could not, that Cardinal’ Manning. when he reads about this grand and wonderful coach, would, for the first time in hie life, break the commandment which forbids ne Cardinal to covet the coaches of another.

Dr. Ewer will review and illustrate the worship of the Protestant Episcopal Church in its internal structure and its external aspect—topics which are just now receiving a good deal of atten~ tion from others besides Episcopalians. Dr. Porteous will present to his congregation the comforts of religion, and will show the pre- ponderance of goodness over evil in the world.
