THE KAISER AND THE BISHOP.
Former Justifies His Recent
Action
A Covert Threat.
Beklix, Saturday
The Kaiser's rebuke to Father Ben/.lcr is almost the sole topic of conversation in Germany. The Kaiser added, " twothirds of my subjects are Protestants. [ have done everything in my power to fulfil the desires of my Catholic subjects, without heeding the dissatisfaction it caused among men of my own faith, with the single idea of enabling all to co-operate in unity and mutual esteem. Sec to it that I clo not arrive at the conclusion that my efforts and sacrifices are in vain and that the Roman Church does not desire peace, but submission. If my attempts at conciliation fail, owing to tho intolerance and presumptuousness of the Catholics, the wind may possibly blow from another quarter. Serve God to the best of your knowledge, but do not forget you must also serve both country and King, and although the King rules with a gentle hand, that hand may, in a moment, be turned into the mailed fist."
