CAPTURED CHURCH PROPERTY.
la the final adjustment of the differ
ences between the Government of the
United States and Spain many grave
problems will confront our peace com
missioners. It Is ft well-known fact that In Spain
and her colonies all church property
belongs to the state and the govern
ment pays the expanse of maintaining
the Roman Catholic church. The us
ual result of war la that property of the
vanquished of right belongs to the
victor. Hence, in the matter of the
ceding of Porto Rico to the United
States our government comes Into pos
session of an immense amount of prop
erty which Spain hat allowed the Rom
an Catholio church to use. It is also
asserted that Spain has given a mort-

Homo, Aug l'l Lio XUt.'s encycli
cal to the bishops, llii clergy, and the
people of Italy mark the culminating
point of tho papal policy of the y.ilrln
ft!, With sorene perHveranoe toe holy
father hat followed all the dark wind
ingof the "third Roma." which make
ue of all means to bring about the
surrender of the holy son; tho Invasion
through the i'orta Pis, tho diplomatic
Intrigues and offurs of agreement, the
attempt to create a now Rome that
should serve as ft soreene In front of
the city of the I 'opes, the liberal pag
anism, the persemi lions of Slgnor
Crlapl, tho conciliating attitude of the
Marquis dl Rod In I up to tho time of
the Lllan uprising, and finally the coup
d'etat agalntt the organisation of the
papal party. Thee varied machination
had but one object, to wrest Irom the
i'epe the cancot atlon of the electoral
"non expejlt," In order that the Q4tr
Inal may have the support of the strug
gle agalnt the forces of disruption In
the yountf and bungling kingdom.
Io XIII. put an end, In solemn snd
authe nllo form, to all the hopes and all
the illusions of the "third civilisation.
Italy Is therefore condemnod to radical
changes if the Qulrtnal does not remov
elsewhere the capital of the country,
for it Is no'longerposslble to bo deceived
with foolish hopes; even ft powerful
government founded on the rock could
not get the bettor of the Inviolable and
Irrepressible conscience of ft universal
moral power, based on the public
opinion of 2.P0I000,0X) faithful souls.
What It the historical meaning of this
memorable document in so far as the
Roman question it oonoereaed.
Its general import is this: Lw X(IL,
in the face of the fierce persecutions
against Catholio Institutions an J Catho
lio ynewpapers,solemnly asserts his re
sponslblllty for the organization of the
Christian democracy of Italy. This
social policy of the holy father, and the
encyclical does not disguise the fact, hat
sprung from the sight of the misery of
the people and from the Inability which
the government, ahowt in meeting the
new demands.
According to the holy father, the

In the preienoe of this permanent
plague Leo XIII. has given the bUhop,
priests, and laymeo tbe order "to go to
the people." By establishing parlih
associations, worklngmen't clubs, pop

kinds, papal Italy, under the direct lor.
of the Tope, has created ft new policy
of economic aid against the hearties

brought about the rlot at Milan In order
to ovorthrow this social bulward. Any

had been ft witness of the lack of Jus

an outcry against such crimes. In

At the meeting of the St. Pa it Meth
odist Episcopal Ministers' Association'
last Monday, the following resolution
was u nun I in tutly adopted;
Resolved, That we, the Methodist
Episcopal Ministers' association of St.
Paul, Minnesota, do hereby urge upon
tho president of the United Stattt
and the recently appointed peaoe com
mission, that In the adjudication of all
matters connected with the final settle
ment with Spain, thst no tettlement
be permitted that will not secure for
the Inhabitants of tha newly-acquired
territory, free speech, a free press and
religious freedom for atl; and that no
spelcal privileges be conferred upon any
church or its soclct'ei."
The conduct of Archbishop Irelunl
and other church dignitaries In endeav
oring to have Roman Catholics appoint
elion the peace commllon,hat created
a distrust among tho other church
denomination.
While toe king no special advantages
ft r tholrchurehoi, they protest against
any tpeolal concussions to tho K'rnlsh
church.
The action of this association should
bo emphasized by evjry other church
denomination, If, however, tbe peace
commission should attempt to confer
sptolat favors up m the Romish church
eongross will see to it that It never be
ornoi ft law. Breezi,
The Priest.
In Manual of Pldy, authorized by
Pope Plus IX , Is found tho following
account of tho supernatural power of
the priesthood: "At regards the
priest; without him you would not have
oome to Jesui Christ. Who 1 It that
places anyonn In the Church? The
priest. Who Is it that receives the soul
t Hi entrance Into life? The prloit.
Who glvet nourishment to ttrenth
en it during Its pilgrimage? Tbe
priest. Whoproparei the soul to appear
before GjdV Tbe priest, ftlwayt the
priest. And If the soul should booomo
ready to die, who will revive It? Also
the priest. We are not able to obtain
ft single benefit from God without tho
prlnst, He has tho keys of the celestial
treasury, and It la be who opens the
gates. Ho Is the trustee of the good
God, and the administrator of bit rich
es? Dotyou confess to the Holy Virgin,
or to an angle? Will they give you
absolution? No. Will tbey give you
the body and blood of our Lord? No;
the Virgin is not able to make ber
Son desond in the sac rl floe of Mass. If
thore were two hundred angels present
they could not absolve you, But a
yrles, however simply be may be, can
do it; is able to say: 'Go In peaoe, I
pardon you.' Abl the priest has
mighty power."

particular thing that was to ttiki-place
previous to the end, The language Is:
"And this gospel of the kingdom sh.tll

I shall take great pleasure In bringing
forward what I consider to be the un

calls attention to the privilege preach

of Its acceptance, then makes refer
