NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The proposal for a echeme of inter-colonial quarantine, which has been suggested in Australia, and which, if capable of being arranged, would prove a saving of expense, and wcu'ii obviate Euch dangerß aa those caused by the movements of the steamer Preussen, is beset with financial difficulties. The matter ha 9 been under the consideration of tha New Zealand Government, although not brought' before it officially. The suggestion made in Victoria is that pome agreement should be arrived at between the several Governments whereby a vessel hayipg on board any infectious disease should be detained in strict quaran tine at the first port of call, the expendi ture to be borneby the whole of the colonies. In the opinion of the New Zealand Govern ment the scheme is quite impracticable, as, if adopted, Hew Zealand would have to pay out of all proportion to the number of vessels visited by . it. The objection, however, does not seem to be one which might not be overcome. Bach of the several colonies ebould only be required to contribute towards the ex penses of vessels which are quarantined while en route for that particular colony.

Herr Windhoret, Bismarck's ohief oppo nent in the Keichstag, has declared at a meeting in Berlin that the Roman Catholics will disregard the Pope's advice to support those candidates who will , vote for an increase in the Army Bill.- - The fact that such advice has bean tendered from Koine, proves that Bis-' mark's recent concession to the' Catholics has completely reconciled- they.'»"-' Vatican. For a long time, while HerrFalk . :? was Minister of Education, there waa . war to the knife between the Government; .<■ and the Clerical party. Bat the solid] block vote of the Catholics, exercised at : . every election, proved irresistible, andßis*- ■•■■ma rch, anxious only for one thing, ,the, " unification of Germany, considered its' '.' advisable to yield. The Chancellor '.'.:;. a.iiuto enough to eeo that the time was inopportuneforstirringupinternalstrifeanil '" ".';, deemed it prudent, though greatly against his will, to grant the Calli-.lie demands, arid Herr Falk was compelled io retire. Out of gratitude for his action, the Pope haa given . his support to Bismarck now isa the hour of his need, and notwith standing Herr W indliorst's declarations, the , s Papal iccommeDdution will, v/e believe, have great weight. These are upwards of sixteen million Roman Catholics in the Ge rman Empire, inure than J the total popu lation The block vote, therefore, of this feo tion is important to every Goverumont. Ca?t between the Liberals and Conservatives, Bismarck found it irresistible ; if expressed on his side it should decide (he elections in his favour.
