Thl 1 not a mythical Idea, but tho tornet of ntorn fact, which, If not complied with immediately to moot tho immediate demand, will in tho winter aeawm, throw thl country into a mam of atarvlng, struggling human ity. Such result cannot bo avoided when thousand of men are unemployed, lloHldo this, tho men wbo seek their living from their labor, miM como to a realization of the cause which Is curs ing them, and aert their rights at the primary election. Thl I the placo to gain your point, and see that no man i placed on a ticket who will not openly and above board avow hi intention arid future actions, in black and white, bo fore ho I placed upon the ticket a a nominee for any office. If ft man will not do this, throw him aside, for a man who 1 too cowardly to assort hi true self, will turn out to bo a thief and bribe receiver, Above all, see that you fill your congres and legislative hall with men who will do this, and thl country will become ono of primarily and justice. Men of thl stump will not waste their time drawing their salarle and living In luxury whllo the people are larvlng, They will guiird tho vital interest of the people, and when a needed measure should ho brought Is fore them as law-maker, they will act promptly and with decision, The country ha never hud a more Import ant question than that of modifying tho laws governing Immigration, Kvery where a person may turn thl omen of destruction stare them n tho face, yet tho present congress U doing noth ing but to fight over a topic which had better bo cast Into the sea until they can transuet more Important business, From tho present turn of congressional affair it would seem that much money from tbe Amjrican and foreign monop olio I being disbursed. Many of these men will appear for re election In the near futere, It 1 tho duty of every American citizen to put honorable men In their place, TO BE DEPLORED. The trlke Inaugurated by the Amer ican Hallway Union against ail rail road running I'ullman sleeper ba reached proportion not anticipated and I now of such magnitude a to serlouniy affect publio Interest. Hall road business throughout the country is practically paralysed, and tbe con tinued spread of tbe strike threaten to put a serious stumbling block in the transudation of the mall, arid when it arrives at this point II become a na tional menace, Tbe commercial Inter ests of the country are bound to suffer, If the facilities for the transportation of mall are Impaired, and the sym pathy of the masse which undoubtedly at the oiitst-t were with tho I'ullmsn striker will Mi withdrawn. It I cer tainly to lie regretted that the i'ullman company rejected the request or their emplayo to restore In part the reduction made In wage lat fall, ana refused to submit tho matter to arbi tration; therefore, upon thl company, to a large extont, should rest the re sponsibility for the present strike. ISo that as It may, tho Hallway Union (hould have exhausted first all the mean la their power to compel the I'ullman company to arbitrate the matter Wore going on a strike, Under any circumstance, strike are to 1o denlored. and no matter which side win the point in question, both aide are loser, to ft certain extent, in trie long run, .

I told him the private lectures were simply a translation of Konrlck's "Moral Theology," ft book written In Latin by ft bishop of tho Homish church, and used ft a class-book In all Iloman Catholic seminaries for tho education of students for the priesthood, and bad to be studied liefore their or dination.

W hat the Tery I'ress Had le hay of the future of the lulled Hlnles, Although the tory prcssdefcwled un just taxation of tb Colonist by the Hrltlsb crown durlrur l he war for A mer- lean Independence it was rendering tho-e Colonist a a" r view In warning them eifainst tho rsslblo consequence of an alliance with Franco, then on tho threshold of the French revolution. I'pli.Ktj'iaft srwl corruotlon of tho French court burdened tho people until they rose, and under tho buttle cry of "Liberty. Fraternity, and I-quallty," Inaugurated the reign of terror which resulted In the annihilation of law and order and the denial of an existence of aHurireme Helng, From tho extreme of blind faith In their clergy and the doctrine of the church, they went to the other extreme of entire repudiation of tho control of the priesthood and Utter disbelief in their teachings, It wasonly by long suffering that peo ple could be Induced to bring fttsuit uch a radical religious and litlcul revolution. For some year tsiforo tho 'orrn burst, the leader of thollomun church perceived tbe growing discon tent and cast ftlsiut for a refuge, North America offered the safest harbor, ex cepting that jsirtlon of the western continent controlled by Great Britain Tho French possession In America th refore wore tho only haven for fleeing priesthood, until tho war between (Jreat IlrlUiIn and tho Ameri can Colonlsti broke out, Kven then tho leaders of tbe Itoman church feared to attempt to (fttln ft foothold in the colonies, until through their machina tion the alliance between trance and the revolting colonic wu affected. Of thl alliance the I'trtMylmnin Ud'jur, a tory organ, dated May M, 177, iay; "Hurely we have reason to distrnst tho resiles and enterprising spirit of France, and of those other commercial tsiwer who are said to favor tbe pro ject of American Independency; and, If the French king ha agreed to such a treaty a this, of which, however, a ample only 1 given up, we must be madly credulous Indeed If we believe It proceeds from any other motive than, at all events, to prevent our enjoying now the benefit of a happy reconcilia tion, and with ft view, when tbe time will bear it. to brlnff u Into uch a tate of domestic experiso and foreign dependence, as must make us forever repent our folly in not having embraced the opportunity now presented, of ao- ( tii h. imr 1 1 1 1 1 ail i ; i ;. . tn t dem , il '), ," I Ibn at1! n.v el all th win Id l It Miiti (lint new with b.r a ftesl s 4iiitltm fnmi ItilUin, tbe attrti et ami i bb I mpirt id the I'tnii lt lellgbm In the -i !. bj tuiitihg Into a teiaty whit that sin bltltiu and tn a beMHtS lmwef, WhiKH" tvllglmi and iillh at luailin have so dflt ii itUlnitu d Ibi a and lliis l. il IbtMlgbU W liiaitkliul Tbe i'ngivsi bi woiidei fully alU'tvd their Um of late, The time a when the ltan toleration of the Homan t alholle r llutun In Canada, though sI'ihiIsUmI, for by artleliv nf rapltiilatlon was treated a ft li Ned st tempt tu eslalr.

We not only run a manifest risk of becoming slaves ourselves, under the treucherous title of lndeK)ndency, but wo are doing everything In our power to overturn tho Protestant religion, and extinguish every spark, both of civil and religious freedom In the world." Nearly one year after, James Hiving- ton 'a Hnynl (la&tle commenting on tbe alliance, said: "On tho other band, even If America, by tho power of Franco and French troops, should oblige Urltaln to rolln gulsh her Just claim to an equitable union of force and Interests, what ad vantage would tho colonic reap from the eventV Hellglon, with tattered garment and mournful eyo would la ment tho success which exposed her to the shackle of popish superstition and tho lash of unfeeling persecutor." Tho royalist press In tho American colonies exerted It Influence toward union with the kingdom of Great Ib ltaln, happily without avail, but the warning against tho danger of affording Human Catholicism a foothold In the United Htato was prophetic. It I not to Isi supposed that tho federal leaders In that hour of trial contemplated a meiHiiro that was to ultimately bring distress upon tbe people, An alliance with tho hereditary foe of Knglund wa desirable as It would help tho oppressed colonists to achieve their Independence, Tho congress whs justified In applying tho muxirn of the Jesuits: "Tho end Justifies the means" In this extreme cmso. The provision of the constitution offering on the part of a grateful peo ple a home to the enslaved and o pressed of other lands ha resultod In an ftbur,o of hospitality. It was de signed that only tho worthy should hero find refuge. Not an element who people our prison and reformatories; not jiolltteo-rellgiou order whose policy I to blis;k tho wheel of pro gress and become the master of men through the power of learning over Ignorance, m The warning of the tory press of the revolution ha been fulfilled, The Ho rrunlst bavo secured a foothold, but tho tenancy 1 not o stable that It can not be removed.

Ills holi ness condemns the Freo Masons, claim lug that they are tho enemies of relig ious unity and especially denounces their bo failed audacious activity In lUiiiie.

Tho conciliatory tone of tho letter Is romarkablo, and never in tho history of tho Iloman church ho Its equal emanated from a sovereign pontiff with the consent of hi ministry, The schism and animosities referred to be gan In 315, when the Arlan controversy agitated the established church and led up to the reformation In 1IM.I, supple mented in this century by tho dlssen tlon of Dr. Dolllnger, Loyasin, Mo Glynn and other of lesser note. Divine pity and omnipotence" will never restore these men to free fellow ship with the Iloman Catholic church, In whoso bosom I the fount of error. Irrational doctrine, and all that I ub horcnt to liberty of thought arid action. It Is impossible to reconcile a man of lofty reason and pure religious senti ment to what bo know to bo contrary to tho law of God and man. The bosi expressed by Loo XIII. In reference to these devoted men I In vain. The appeal to tho eastern churches Invito tho reunion of tho Greek, Coptle and Husslan-Greek churches with the Iloman Catholic church. It Is centur ies since tbe Greek church recognized tho Human pontiff and long habit has strengthened the unfriendly feeling, Tbe promise that the rights and patri archal privileges of tho Greek church shall bo maintained in tho event of union with tbe Iloman Catholic church, If fulfilled, would bo only through a complete doctrinal revolution. The utter fallacy of suuh ft proposition Is apparent, as with It atoptfon would dlsippcartho power of the Iloman hie rarchy, To make thl union complete tbe Iloman church would have to coun tenance tho non-celibate doctrine, the baptism of Infant by Immersion, the sacrament of both kinds, the rejection of the doctrine of purgatory, tho doc trine of transuhstantlallori and the procedure of tbe holy spirit only from the Ftther, and the regard, not the worship of relics, Image and pictures, all of which are tenet of the Greek church, A desire for the reunion of tho two churches bus existed for some time, but not until now ha the wish been publicly expressed, To prepare tbe faithful for such a reunion, the Hu man Catholic laity have boon Instructed by the clergy to regard all member of the (.reek church a of their commun ion, Now tho Greek church In IlussU Is nominally governed by the metropol itan, but In reality I governed by the c.ar, Tho czar I the most autocratic af all secular sovereign, a the pope I the most autocratic of all ecclesiastical sovereigns, it I ft simple proposition that oil and water will not mix, It I an unalterable command, passed from pojm to poe to hi people: "Thou shaltbave none other god (on earth) but me," The czar and the jsipe Could not dwell In amity with each other, "I'roteslant have no fixed rule of faith or authority, and many of there even deny the divinity of Christ and the Inspiration of the scripture," What Protestant denomination denies tho divinity of Christ or tho inspira tion of the scripture a contained In tho accepted book of book? Hy having no fixed rule of faith, the l'roUtant church or denomination of that church allow It members to reason and think for themselves, The converse 1 the rule and policy of the Human Catholic church. "Do not believe what you read, but believe what I toll you. Doubt nothing," It 1 thl blind un reasoning faith In their master that ha bound the masse of the Iloman communicant In tho chain of Ignor ance and trammeled free thought ftnd expression. It I thl cornpleto sur render of Individual thought, Intellect ual indeiwndence, that gave rise to tho I saying: "The Human Catholic church l tbs it M .. ef t.p I'tl.

The situation de mands no half-way measures. There must be a complete divorce of religion and politics, a strict mulnteriauce of the public school system and ttie elec tion to public olllce of men who owe allegiance only to the country of their birth or adoption. This must not bo an ephemeral movement. Tho cause Is Ux sacred and vital to the future pros perlt.y of the loyal citizen of tho United Htutesto imrlsb through neglect and Indifference, Our lloertlos aro menaced and If we are now passive to the danger confronting us, we will entail upon our descendants misery and oppression to which we aro strangers. Lot every truo Amerlci.n remember this, and bend his energies to applying tho remedy. "In union there is strength." Thl axiom 1 recognized and lived up to by the Iloman Catholic clement, and 1 the wisest policy In every popular move ment. It 1 yet to be shown that the toler ant order of Freo Masonry 1 the enemy of religion unity. It 1 the essence of religious unity, as it embraces all re ligion and creeds, i an educational order and curries progress In it train. Free Masonry In France and Italy has enabled the people to shake off tho withering hold of priestcraft and con verted what aro nominally Iloman Catholic nation into progressive and enlightened people, Any secret order outside of the Iloman Catholic com munion is anathematized. The church countenances Clan-na-Gaellsm, tho A. 0. H. and that blighting organization, tho Hoolety of Jesus, because they are within Its pale, Free Masonry hat nothing to do with the armed neutral ity of governments, National Jealousy and the monarch lul system are at tho bottom of the costly maintenance of Huropean armies, to be done away with as the republican spirit advances. The porV diatribe against Freo Masonry will not affect the order any more than It will affect the advariw of tho A, I', A. Tho encyclical letter betray alarm and I a confession of weakness for which all good Protestants aro to Is) congratulated, Nativk Amkkican, Intolerance In Hwlle Hand. Tho Catholics of the 'JVssia Canton In Hwltzerland have given lately a re grettable evidence of religious-intolerance. The Protestant minister of lllasca was about to celebrate a religi ous service In a hall rented hy blm at Custlone, where there aro about fifty member of hi congregation. The mayor and hi secretary came up and handed blm ft decree of themunlclpal Ity forbidding the celebration of tho divine service under penalty of im prisonment. Two gendarme were present ready to arrest, In case of re sistance, Mr, Zamporinl, the minister, who left the place, and who forwarded a complaint to the federal council, which promised to examine the case, An Kx Priest and Kxnn Murdered.
