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-

Itoallze Spsln's I.ni.
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
itate, by suppressing ecclesiastical

demned In all parts of the country to
carry out tha hardest labors for very
low wages. In the greater part of the
villages there Is no bread; there Is no
longor any question of meat. It lsthe
policy of mUery and famine.
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
ular banks, agricultural savings bank,
economic bakrles, syndicate i of all
kinds, papal Italy, under the direct lor.
of the Tope, has created ft new policy
of economic aid against the hearties
oppression of the doperate sta'o.
Tho government, as every one know
now I'nco tho revelations of the Milan
trial, hastened, encouraged, and
brought about the rlot at Milan In order
to ovorthrow this social bulward. Any
thing rathor than tho salvation of him,
such is the mainspring of the policy of
the kingdom, The yulrlnal neither
would nor could long endure the com
parlson between the fruitful action of
the church and tho poll w of tho gov
ernment, which treated tho nation a a
private farm. The gulrlnal has nelth7r
tho ability nor the time to relievo tbe
country exhaust by Its ill-fated policy
but neither can it permit an independ
ent force te come into being whloh
will draw to iUelf tbe soul of tbo coun

recoils affrighted before the tragedy
and Its contequonoos. Doubtless the
papal party, the vanguard of Italian
Catbollolsm, will weave together
again, one by one, all tho moshes of
tbe organization thit has boen de
stroyed. The adbereita of the Pope
will gradually sot up once mora the
!,Oi0 establishments whloh the govern-
mcnt his dlisolved. During tbe work
of reorganization, however, the people
groan and suffer. The Qulrlnal, drag-

Where It salvation to bo found?
Where are the means of rehabilitation
In spite of tha passive and somewhat
Orental character of the people, a
moment will come when the oentrlf ugul
forces will get the upper bend of the
power of conversation. Before tbe
"Rlsorgtmento" Mr. Gladstone, who
had been ft witness of the lack of Jus
tice In the small Italian States, raised
an outcry against such crimes. In
184!), on hit return from Italy, he, who
bad helped to act up tho Qulrnal ma
chine, adretsed ft new protest to Eu
rope against the Iniquitous monarch
ical government.

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."
An order has been issued by the gov
ernment a Republican government

collected by this government! Who

That the chapter la a treatlxe of

It la, I Mlcve, netalful to have a
critical enlightenment on the question
that the disciples propounded to Christ
In the Mount of Olives, and, a I ho, of
that which led up to It, In order to ar.

nothing more. Kit her their words or

any other matter or subject.
From this fact It would be quits nat

their subsequent question, while with
their Lord In the Mount of, Olives,
would not associate two subjects so

that tbey should witness would be th
end to which reference had been made,
and he also culla their attention to a
particular thing that was to ttiki-place
previous to the end, The language Is:
"And this gospel of the kingdom sh.tll
be preached in nil of the world for a
witness unto nil nations, and then
shall the end come," As It Is particu
larly enjoined upon me to stay by the
Herlpture In dealing with this subject,

occasion to do otherwise on this point,
I shall take great pleasure In bringing
forward what I consider to be the un
impeachable testimony, the word of

calls attention to the privilege preach

of Its acceptance, then makes refer
ence to opportunity already given as
follows: Hut 1 say hnve they not
