The PoPe's Allocusion.

The Pope issued an allocution on the
s0th of September, directed against Free
masonry and secret societies in general.
1t is supposed to be called out more es-
pecially by Fenianism, although that sub
ject is not directly mentioned. The first
sentence is as follows:
MISERABLE BRErHRKN-Among the nume-
rous Vaccinations and artiices by which the
enemies of the Christian name have dared to
attack the Church of God, and sought to shake
and besiege it by efforts superfuous In truth,
must undoubtedly be reckoned that perverse
society of men vuigarly styled Masonic, which,
at first confined 70 darkness and obscurity, now
comes into lightfOr the common ruin of relig-
ion and human society. t.s
After referring to the past history of the
Church, and it's persistent war on Masonry,
which, be says, still "csrries an audacious
'front.'" and which is "inimical to the
Church and to God," and Dangerous
even to the security of Kingdoms" the
Pope concludes:
We desire that the said societies should he
held prescribed and reb0ked by us under the
same penalties az those which are specified In
the previous constitutions of our predecessors
and this in the eight Of all the faithful in Chrst
of every condition, rank and dignity. ~

The st. Louis people are, beginning to be
