NOTES.—The above strictures should include Russia. There seems reason to believe the claim made in the late Armenian trouble, that there has been a secret treaty between the Latin and Greek Churches to work together. The Zassiche Zeitung (Berlin), August 16, says: “France is openly espousing the Spanish cause, and the Russian press is displeased with the American victory.”

To cap the climax, Judge McKenna is named as one of the commissioners to Paris to settle this business; a man who, in addition to being a Romanist, has just rendered a Supreme Court opinion that Southern State laws which rob our Afro-American brethren of the ballot, and of trial by jury, are constitutional—a decision worse, if possible, than that of the ante-bellum Romish Judge Taney, that Northern men must hunt Southern slaves.—Christian Instructor, Aug. 25, 1898.
