DescriptionCaptioned "The Catholics and Particularists [sic] are overjoyed because of the curious debate in the Senate of the United States .... Bismarck declares now that / the matter was really of no consequence whatever, and his organs here have published soothing articles on the subject..... in regard to Carl Schurz / it is exceedingly amusing to witness the extraordinary respect and admiration which the organs of the Clerical Party have suddenly conceived for him, / now that they can use his testimony against Prince Bismarck .... The Berlin Germania (the organ of the German Ultramontanes) even calls Carl / Schurz, whom it formerly professed to detest, 'the noblest representative of Germany in America': Berlin Correspondence of the Breslau (Silesia) Gazette" typeset beneath title in black ink. Image occupies 3/4 of the vertical space of the sheet. Beneath the image are four columns of text titled "Carl Schurz and His Jesuit Admirers" by Eugene Lawrence.
