Time French Cabinet Crisis.
PnAISApril 25.-It is feared that the
present c.tbinet crisis may have seri-
' . ' , oils effects upon the political fabric' for
1 it secrns probabl ( , that a presidential
f crisis will ensue. In fact it has been argued -
gued by one of the deputies that the
resignation of the Presidency by M.
Faure is a part of M. Bourgeois' plans.
The two chambers would have to
meet ns the national assembly to elect
a new president. M. Lourgeois bet -
t lieves that he could control the na-
1 tional assenibl , ' ' as one body , though i
as two chambers , the Senate is against
Lim. Ile would , it is said , endeavor
to secure amendments to the constitti-
tion from the national assenibl
which would put the cabinet beyond
' fear of harm from the Senate alone
and vialc it accountable to the depu-
' tics , after which M. Faure would be
( r rc-elected president and M. Bourgeios
rcappointed premier , would be secure
, \ in his lease of power.
The Socialist group of the Republican -
an party has issued a manifesto calling -
ing upon citizens and wOrlcmen to
utiiizr their rights of universal suf-
( r frage iii the coming municipal elections -
tions so as to es'ablislt the ponular
power in the municipalities , and
spread the Socialist spirit in the may-
oralties. This is preliminary to secur-
iug the election of senators. By giving -
ing up oilice , Mi . ] ; ourgeois goes to
these electors with the plea that the
Senate opposed and overthrew his
cabinet because of its Socialistic ten-
derid es , and he hopes thus to rally a
large Socialist vote in the municipal
I S elections.
, President Faure conferred with MM.
-
Loubet , Brisson , Peytral , Poincare ,
Bourgeois , Sarrien , Leroyer and Me-
line to-day. According to the Gaul-
WI , ois , the new premier , whoever he may
be , will appear in the chamber with
an absolution decree in his pocket.
The Gaulois says : "As a result of the
experiment with a radical cabinet ,
President Faure has resolved to take
; / a determined stand upon the constitu-
{ tional ground and will pursue a line
l , of conduct in opposition to 'Socialist
j ' rancor. "

i tion. "

made to the bill , the most important
being the insertion of the item of Sic -
c 000,000 for payment of the Cherokee
outlet fund. Which had been struck
out by the committee. The Indian
appropriation bill as thus amended ,

cited a decided sensation.
Some appiaus followed' these remarks -
marks , but there was great applause

Catholic University , who spoke next ,
began ; " 1 am not here to blame the
President or Congress. 1 don't believe
it is our purpose or our right to blame

pity that things are as they are , com-
pcllinr the I'resiIcnt and Congress to
talk of war With another civilized
nation. "

justice , as well as the material interests -
ests of civilized society , demand the
immediate establishment between the

mended to our government , so soon as
it is assured of a corresponding disposition -
position on time part of the British
government , to negotiate a treaty providing -
viding for the widest practicable

tion to internatioriml controversies.
A. P. A. FIGHT BLAND.
Iris lylfo a Catholic , lyiticli Prompts
the Opposition.
ST. Louis , Mo. , April 25.-Every indication -
dication points to a bitter fight on
"Silver Diek" Bland in the event of an
effort being made in the Chicago convention -
vention to nominate limn for the presidency -
idency of the United States. It has
leaked out that Mrs. Bland is a devout
member of the Catholic Church , and
has raised her children in that faith.
The opposition to the nomination of
the great 16 to 1 silver apostle will
come from the members of the A. P.
A. Bland is not a member of the
church , and is inclined to be liberal
in his views of religion. An authoritative -
itative announcement-that the A. P.
A. would fight Bland's nomination
and election was given to a reporter
by Judge Stevens , State president of
the order for Missouri , and member of
the national executive board.

rhree and One-Half Mutton Dollars
Spout for Political Purposes.
NEW Yonr , April 25.-It is asserted
that the books of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railway show that $3,500,000 has
been taken from the treasury and
spent for political purposes. It is
proposed to find out who got the
money. To do this it is stated that it
will be necessary to investigate the
matter of the coustructica of the Philadelphia -
adelphia division of the road , the cost
of which has never been made known
to the general stockholders , but which
has been variously estimated from
$1 . : ,000,000 to S'J,000,000 , and it is pr'e-
dicted that when the report of the
manner in which the Baltimore and
Ohio obtained an entrance into Philadelphia -
adelphia is made known some very
prominent politicians of that city will
have reason to wish that those who
are now directing the affairs of the
Baltimore and Ohio had ne'der reached
that position.

Golden Text : "And the Kings Went
Forth and Tarried In a I'laco Which
Was Far OIT"-Second Booh of Samuel -
uel xv. , 17.
AR up and far back
in the history of
heaven there came
a period when its
most illustrious citizen -
izen was about to
absent himself. He
was not going to
sail from beach to
beach ; we have
often ( lone that. He
was not going to
put out from one hemisphere to another -
other hemisphere ; many of us have
done that. But he was to sail from
world to world , the spaces unexplored
and the immensities untraveled. No
world has ever hailed heaven , and
heaven has never hailed any other
world. I think that the windows and
the balconies were thronged , and that
the pearly beach was crowded with
those who had come to see him sail out
of the harbor of light into the ocean be-
yond. Out and out and out , and on
and on and on , and down and down and
down he sped , until one night , with only
one to greet him , when lie arrived , his
disembarkation so unpretending , so
quiet , that it was not known on earth
until the excitement in the cloud gave
intimation to the Bethlehem rustics that
Something grand and glorious had
happened. Who comes there ? From
what port did he sail ? Why was this
the place of his destination ? I question
the shepherds. I question the camel
drivers. I question the angels. I have
found out. He was an exile. But the
world had plenty of exiles. Abraham ,
an exile from Haran ; John , an exile
from Ephesus ; Kosciusko , an exile
from Poland ; Mazzini , an exile from
Rome ; Emmet , an exile from Ireland ;
Victor Hugo , an exile from France ;
Kossutll , an exile from Hungary. But
this One of whom I speak to-day had
such resounding farewell and came into
such chilling reception-for not even a
hostler went out with his lantern to
light him In-that he is more to be
celebrated than any other expatriated
exile of earth or heaven.
First , I remark that Christ was an
Imperial exile. He got down off a throne.
He took off a tiara. He closed a palace
gate behind him. His family were
princes and princesses. Vashtl was
turned out of the throne-room by Aha-
suerus. David was dethroned by Ab-
salom's Infamy. The five kings were
hurled into a cavern by Joshua's cour-
age. Some of the Henrys of England
and some of the Louises of France were
jostled on their thrones by discontented -
ed subjects. But Christ was never more
honored ; or more popular , or more loved
than the day he left heaven. Exiles
have suffered severely , but Christ
turned himself out from throne-room
into sheep-pen , and down from the top
to the bottom. He was not pushed off.
He was not manacled for foreign trans-
portation. He was not put out because
they no more wanted him in celestial
domain , but by choice departing and
descending into an exile five times as
long as that of Napoleon at St. Helena ,
and a thousand times worse ; the one
exile suffering for that he had destroyed
nations , the other exile suffering because -
cause he came to save a world. An imperial -
perial exile. King eternal. "Blessing
and honor and glory and power be unto
him that sitteth upon the throne. "
But I go further , and tell you he was
an exile on a barren island. This world
is one of the smallest islands of light
in the ocean of immensity. Other stellar
kingdoms are many thousand times
larger than this. Christ came to this
small Patmos or a world. When exiles
are sent out they are generally sent to
regions that are sandy or cold , or hot
-some Dry Tortugas of disagreeable-
ness. Christ came as an exile to a
world scorched with heat and bitten
with cold , to deserts simoon-swept , tea
a howling wilderness. It was the backdoor -
door yard , seemingly , of the universe.
Yea , Christ came to the poorest part
of this barren island of a world-Asia
Minor , with its intense summers , unfit
for the residence of a foreigner , and in
the rainy season unfit for the residence
of a native. Christ came not to such a
land as America , or England , or France ,
or Germany , but to a land one-third of
the year drowned , another third of the
year burned up , and only one-third of
the year just tolerable. Oh ! it was the
barren island of a world. Barren
enough for Christ , for it gave such
small worship and such inadequate affection -
fection , and such little gratitude. Imperial -
perial exile on the barren island of a
world.
I go further , and tell you that he was
an exile in a hostile country. Turkey
was never so much against Russia ,
France was never so much against Germany -
many , as this earth was against Christ.
It took him in through the door of a
stable. It thrust him out at the point
of a spear. The Roman government
against him with every weapon of its
army , and every decision of its courts , I
and every beak of its war eagles. For
years after his arrival , the only question -
tion was how best to put him out.
Herod hated him , the high-priests hated
him , the Pharasees hated him , Judas
Iscariot hated him ; Gestas , the dying I
thief , hated him. The whole earth
seemingly turned into a detective to
watch his steps. And yet he faced this
ferocity. Notice that most of Christ's
wounds were in front. Some scourging
on the shoulders , but most of Christ's
wounds in front. He was not on retreat
Ghen he expired. Face to face with the
world's ferocity. Face to face with the
world's sin. Face to face with the i
world's woe. His eye on the raging
countenances of his foaming antagon- E
Z j I -
fists when he expired. When the cavalry -
alry officer roweled his steed so that he
might come nearer up and see the tortured -
tured visage of the suffering exile ,
Chirst saw it. When the spear was
thrust at his side , and when the bam-
mer was lifted for his feet , and when
the reed was raised to strike deeper
down the spikes of thorn , Christ
watched the whole procedure. When
his hands were fastened to the cross
they were wide open still with benedic-
tion. Mind you , his head was not fastened -
tened ; he could look to the right and
he could look to the left , and he could
look up and lie could look down. He
saw when the spikes had been driven
home , and the hard , round , iron heads
were in the palms of his hands ; he saw
them as plainly as you ever saw anything -
thing in the palms of your hands. No
ether , no chloroform , no merciful anesthetic -
thetic to ( lull or stupefy , but , widea-
wake , he saw the obscuration of the
heavens , the unbalancing of the rocks ,
the countenances quivering with rage
and the cachinnation diabolic. Oh ! it
was the hostile as well as the barren
inland of a world.
o s e
Homesickness will make a week seem
as long as a month , and It seems to
me that the three decades of Christ's
residence on earth must have seemed
to him almost interminable. You have
often tried to measure the other pangs
of Christ , but you have never tried to
measure the magnitude and ponderosity
of a Saviour's Homesickness.
I take a step further and tell you
that Christ was in an exile which he
knew would end in assassination. IIoI-
man Hunt , the master painter , has a
picture in which he represents Jesus
Christ in the Nazarene carpenter-shop.
Around him arc the saws , the hammers ,
the axes , the drills of carpentry. The
picture represents Christ , as rising from
the carpenter's working-bench and
wearily stretching out his arms as one
will after being in contracted or uncomfortable -
comfortable posture , and the light of
that picture is so arranged that the
arms of Christ , wearily stretched forth ,
together with his body , throw on the
wall the shadow of the cross. Oh ! my
friends , that shadow was on everything
in Christs's life-time. Shadow of a
cross on the Bethlehem swaddling
clothes. Shadow of a cross on the road
over which the three fugitives fled into
Egypt. Shadow of a cross on Lake
Galilee as Christ walked its mosaic
floor of opal and emerald and crystal.
Shadow of a cross on the road to Em-
maus. Shadow of a cross on the brook
Kedron , and on the temple , and on the
side of Olivet. Shadow of a cross on
sunrise and sunset. Constantine , marching -
ing with his army , saw just once a
cross in the sky , but Christ saw the
cross all the time.
On a rough journey we cheer ourselves -
selves with the fact that it will end in
warm hospitality ; but Christ knew that
his rough path would end at a defoliag-
ed tree without one leaf and with only
two branches , bearing fruit of such bitterness -
terness as no human lips had ever tast-
ed. Oh what an exile-starting ] a an
infancy without any cradle , and ending -
ing in assassination. Thirst without
any water. Day without any sunlight.
The doom of a desperado for more than
angelic excellence. For what that a--
patriation and that exile ? Worldly good
sometimes comes from wordly evil.
The accidental glance of a sharp blade
from a razor-grinder's wheel put out
the eye of Gambetta and excited sympathies -
pathies which gained him an education
and started him on a career that made
his name more majestic among
Frenchmen than any other name in
the last twenty years. Hawthorne ,
turned out of the orrice of collector , at
Salem , went home in despair. His
wife touched him on the shoulder and
said , "Now is the time to write your
book" and his famous "Scarlet Let-
ter" was the brilliant consequence.
Worldly good sometimes comes from
worldly evil. Then be not unbelieving -
ing when I tell you that from the
greatest crime of all eternity and of
the whole universe , the murder of the
Son of God , there shall come results
which shall eclipse all the grandeurs
of eternity past and eternity to come.
Christ , an exile from heaven opening
the way for the deportation toward
heaven and to heaven of all those who
will accept the proffer. Atonement , a
ship large enough to take all the passengers -
sengers that will come aboard it.
For this royal exile I bespeak the
love and service of all the exiles here
present , and , in one sense or the
other , that includes all of us. The
gates of this continent have been so
widely opened that there are here
many voluntary exiles from other t
lands. Some of you are Scotchmen.
I see it in your high cheek-bones , and
the color that illumines
in your face
i
when I mention the land of your na-
tivity. Bonnie Scotland ! Dear old
kirk ! Some of your ancestors sleeping
in Greyfriars churchyard , or by the
deep lochs filled cut of the pitchers of
heaven , or under the heather sometimes I t
so deep of color it makes one think
of the blood of the Covenanters who I1
signed their names for Christ , dipping
their pens Into the veins of their own 0
arms opened for that purpose. How
every fibre of your nature thrills as
mention the names of Robert Bruce , ,
and the Campbells , and Cochrane. I ,
bespeak for this royal exile of my text 1
the love and the service of all Scotch
exiles. Some of you are Englishmen.
Your ancestry served the Lord. Have
not read of the sufferings of the Hay-
market ? and have I not seen in Oxs ;
ford the very spot where Ridley and
Latimer mounted the red chariot ? I t
Some of your ancestors heard George
Whitefield thunder , or heard Charles a
Wesley sing , or heard John Bunyan
tell his dream of the celestial city ; 1
and the cathedrals under the shadow
of which some of you were born had ; e
their the name 1
n grandest organ-roll
of the Messiah. I bespeak for the ro ; sl
of my sermon , the love and the t

cervico of all English exiles. Yes ,
some of you came from the Island of
distress over which Hunger , on a
throne of human skeletons , sat queen.
All efforts at amelioraton halted by
massacre. Procession of famines , procession -
cession of martyrdoms marching from f
Northern Channel to Cape Clear and
from the Irish Sea across to the At- ,
( antic. An island not bounded as
geographers tell us , but as every philanthropist -
anthropist knows-bounded on the
north and the south and the east and
the west by woe which no human politics -
tics can alleviate , and only almighty
God can assuage. Land of Goldsmith's
rhythm , and Sherldan's wit , and
O'Connell's eloquence , and Edmund
Burke's statesmanship , and O'Brien's
sacrifice. Another Patrnos with its
apoclaypse of blood. Yet you cannot
think of it today without ] caving your
eyes blinded with emotion , for there
your ancestors sleep in graves , some
of which they entered for lack of
bread. For this royal exile of my
sermon I bespeak the love and the
service of all Irishc exiles. Yes , some
of you are from Germany , the land o1
Luther , and sonic of you are from
Italy , the land of Garibaldi , and some
of you are from France , the land of
John Calvin , one of the three mighties
of the glorious Reformation. Some of
you are descendants of the Puritans ,
any they were exiles ; and some of you
are descendants of the Iluguenots , and
they were exiles ; and soma of you are
descendants of the Holland refugees ,
and they were exiles. Some of you
were born on the banks of the Yazoo
or the Savannah , and you are now living -
ing in this latitude. Some of you on
the banks of the Kennebec , or at the
foot of the Green Mountains , and you
are hero now. Some of you on the '
prairies of the West , or time tablelands -
lands , and you are hero nor ; . Oh !
how many of us far away from home.
All of us exiles. This is not our home.
Heaven is our home. Oh ! I am so
glad when the royal exile went back
ho left the gate ajar , or left it wide
open. "Going home ! " That is the
( lying exclamation of the majority o1
Christians. I have seen many Christians -
tians die. I think nine out of ten of
them in the last moment say , "Going
home. " Going home out of banishment
and sin and sorrow and sadness. Going -
ing home to join in the hilarities of
our parents and our dear children who
have already departed. Going home
to Christ. Going home to God. Going -
ing home to stay. Where are your
loved ones that died in Christ ? You
pity them. All ! they ought to pity
you. You are an exilofar , from home.
They are home ! Oh ! what a time It
will be for you when the gatekeeper
of heaven shall say : "Take oft that
rough sandal ; the journey's ended.
Put down that sabre ; the battle's won.
Put off that iron coat of mail and
put on the robe of conqueror. " At
that gate of triumph I leave you today -
day , only reading three tender cantos
translated from the Italian. If you
ever heard anything sweeter I never
did , although I cannot adopt all its
theology :
'Twas whispered ono morning In heaven
how the little child-angel May
In the shade of the great white portal
Sat sorrowing night and day ;
How she said to the stately warden-
He of the key and bar-
"Oh , angel , rn eet angel , I pray you
Set the beautiful gates ajar-
Only a little , I pray you ,
Set the beautiful gates ajar.
" 1 can hear my mother weeping ,
She is lonely , she cannot see
A glimmer of light in the darkness ,
When the gates shut alter me ;
Oh , turn me the key , sweet angel ,
The splendor will shine so far ! "
But the warden answered , I dare not
Set the beautiful gates ajar. "
Spoke low and answered , "I dare not
Set the beautiful gates ajar. "
Then up rose Mary , the blessed ,
Sweet Mary , the mother of Christ ;
Her hand on the hand of the angel
She laid , and her touch sufficed.
Turned was the key in the portal ,
Fell ringing the golden bar ,
And lo ! in the little child's lingers
Stood the beautiful gates ajar.
In the little child's angel lingers
Stood the beautiful gates ajar.
