Pope is more truly Pope here than in France
or Spain. Know-Nothingism, it is true, at
one time threatened persecution. but 1t
made disgraceful failure, while the efforts
Of Henry VIII, Elizabeth, and Cromwell in
that direction, were successes.
In fact, the Church itself, in it's total re-
pudiation of hereditary rank and authority,
has set the example on which our govern
ment is formed. No son or heir succeeds
as such to any function in the Church,
whether that Of parish priest, general Of an
order, or Pope. Merit calls each one to the
position, perhaps from the PEASANTS hut.
This is the cardinal feature of Republican
ism, a. distinguished from other systems.
Its ranks and authorities are not hereditary,
but based ON merit.
As the influence of Christianity has been
to create sgradual but permanent progress
in all things,-in science and art, in intelH-
gence and refinement, in stability and vir-
tue, why not in politics among the rest I
We see how vastly superior the condition
Of the Christian world Of to-day IL to that
Of tho fifth century, socially and inteahiectu-
ally. Has there not been . corresponding
progress in politics And rs our govern
ment, in its purity, is manifest progress,
why may we not believe it to be . legitimate
effect of Christianity and, as such, a perma-
nent onef Let us do right then, and hope
for the best.

SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE PONTIFICAL
ARMY.-We have forwarded this week an
eighth remittance of one thousand francs
for the Pontihcal army. These eight thou
sand francs are equivalent in currency to
two thousand one hundred and eighty-si
dollars and nineteen cents. The sum re-
rceived by both Catholic papers up to date,
taking into account the difference in ex-
change, between gold or silver and paper,
is equivalent to two thousand two hundred

leaving on hand toward a new instalment
sixty-eight dollars and sixty cents.

OF course, there win be impenections in
tho details. Who shall vote and who shall
not vote, what officers must be elected and
what appointed, how to stop corruption and
detect peculati0n all these and others are
serious questions, which sometimes assume
of experience will gradually elucidate, and
which it's decision will settle satisfactorily,
provided the constitution be sacredly re-
spected, and the system kept faithfully
working.
But, we hear persons anxiously asking:
Will our people of the United States stand

It must be admitted that public morality in
this country has appeared to diminish OF
late years. But it also appears probable
that the people, as body, are so thoroughly
satisfied of the necessity of maintaining the
obligations of the organic law, that it will be
done. They have the intelligence to know
now desirable a true republican government
ls, how prosperity goes hand in hand with
genuine liberty and how irretrievably all this
Will fall into ruin if the constitution is dis
regarded. They love self government, and
seem to know that the price of it is a faith
full adhesion to the organic compact.
To us Catholics, Republicanism ought to
be peculiarly dear. Nowhere, in modern
times, does the history of the Church present
such glorious record of peaceful conquest
as here. The growth of the Church has
been untrammeled and unparalleled. The

A strange fight recently took place IN
Paris. Every body who has been IN Inc,
French capital knows that around the
old barriers of that city were clustered
numerous groups OF eating aud drinking
houses. AZ tue Old Barrlere FontaIn-
bleau, so-called because IL was the por-.
tai by which the traveller for Foutalne-
bleau Quilted the capital, three blind
men entered low drinking shop and
ordered wine. They were merry when
they entered it. The wine raised their
spirits 10 a still higher pitch, and by the
time each one of them had two bottles
under his waistcoat, they began to sing
at the top of their voices. Their merrl-
ment was at its height, when three
roughs entered the room in which they
had hitherto been alone, and in u broken,
hoarse, jeeriDg voice OF the lower classes
blind men: II say, glass eyes, are you
going sosn to cease sQuealingf' The
blind men stopped singing, and one of
them said: "WhO is the BLACKBOARD
who would make us silent" The rough
answered: Put on your spectacles, old
horse, and you will see". His comrades,
delighted with the reply, laughed heart
ily, aud continued to ridicule the poor
blind men, each hit being greeted with
hsrse laughs. The blind mems anger
became great. They rose. One Of them
CROPPED until his hand was on the lamp
on the wall which lighted the room.
He extiuguished it, and then exclaimed.
"Now We are your rqhals. Joseph, lyle
tins door, so that 40 one goes DOT"
JOseuh placed his stalwart back against
the door, aud bis Twn companions seiz d
the rOughs aud beat them aud knocked
their heads against walls, tables and the
floor, and kicked them until the terrible
uproar brought the master of the shop.
He, finding himself unable to push
Joseph ffsm the dorr. Went for neigh
borS and at last. when enfnAaes 4 vas
effected, the room was found in state
of great confusion. Tables aud chairs
were turned over one another, bottles
broken in a hundred fragments were
scat cred every here; the roughs, com
pl, tely cowed and dreadfully beaten,
were crouching i'll corners. The shop
keeper put the blind men into an Oml
bus running towards their homes, and
put tie roughs out of the house. The
blind men Were greatly elated with
their victory.

from moderate use of pure liquor combined
with such vegetable medicines and extracts as

from their occasional uss.
