Monileur De Home , the Papal
organ , strongly censures the Catholic clergy ,
Newry , Ireland , for their attitude during
the recent agitation there. It e.-pecially
condemns Father Maccarten's sermon in
the cathedral of Newry on Sunday , in which
characterizes the action of the govern
ment in prohibiting the nationalist meeting
there as having a tendency to drive the people
ple to rebel , and a direct insult to the
Catholic church. The Moniteur points to f
the paragraph in the United Irishman , of
Dublin ' , asking its friends in London to fur
nish ! the addresses and biographies of the cy.
jurymen in the O'Donnell case , in order to
enable their obituaries to be prepared.

although no evidence was offered to the
effect there was no proof that Carey was not
armed , aud by harping upon the word
"evidence , " lining that word Instead of
"proof , " judge obtained' verdict of
guilty of wilful murder. Minister Lowell

The Mormons and. the President's
Message.
The Chicago Daily News publishes a
Salt Lake special containing an interview
with a leading citizen. He bays the Mor-
nons regard the reference to polygamy in
the president's message a.s : i menace to their
olitieil power and theocratic control of the
erritory ; that their interest- are too great
for them to emigrate ; that they recognize
he fact that the people of the United States
vrongly regard polygamy as only a legal ob-
ection to Mormonism , whereas the fact i.s
jolygamy is simply an ugly feature ,
he real trouble being in the 3Ior-
non priesthood by their assumption of : i
livine right to rule ; that they recognize the
act that their whole system is jeopardized
they retain polygamy ; whereas , with that
eature abolished , they arc ikely to have an
ndefinite lease of life for Mormon theocra
. The present legislature , though made
ip of monogamous Mormons , ii yet thor
oughly the creature of the church. It is
probable , therefore , while the church will
ceep up the sham show of opposition , it
vill instruct the legislature to pass a law
making polygamy .1 crime , and the territory
hux purged of the only wrong known to the
general public , will apply for admission as a
tate with good prospecta of getting in and
giving the priesthood proportionately in-
reased power. _

Manager Potter , of the Burlington , declared
he did not believe the three roads had

attempt on their part to control all the busi-

believe the Union Pacific managers had
authority to make any such agreement. In
opinion the compact provided that the
