The approach VI Easter has suggested to the class
of liberal Romans the Opportuneness Of presenting
| address to the Pope with view to appeasing his
| Holiness at this period Of universal pacifcaton.
| This appeal is headed:-
| THE ROMANS TO Plus X.
1t commences by quoting the words OF our Saviour
after his resurrecton:-"PeaceI leave with you, my
| peace give unto YOU" and goes on to remind the
Pope Of his blessing Italy and his prayers for her
peace, unity aud concord twenty years ago. It con-
jures him not to go down into his grave as one Of
| the Pontiffs who have called foreign arms into
| Italy, and assures him that .'by losing the
| embarrassing OF temporal sovereignty he has
become Thousand times more great and powerful
| than all the sovercigns OF the EARTH" It quotes
again the words OF the Divine Nazarene against tat
| tachng Importance to worldly goods" and liners
that he will not abandon his Vicar on Earth merely
| because he Is mo longer surrounded by zouavcs,
| sbifYi ana brigands
| The address concludes by implorlng the Pope to
| shave pity on the Romans, Impoverished by civil
troubles and the late inundation, and to receive
| his paternal arms the King TO whom Italy has en-
trusted her destinyn For all This 1t Is not to be eX
pected that Pope Plus TX. will issue forth on the
| balcony OF st. Peters, as OF yorc. to give
| his bcnedcton urbi et orbi; for 1t is
already known that hts Holiness intends to limit his
| services TO the administration OF the sacrament on
| Holy Thursday TO the members of his household and
some distinguished foreigners, such as the leading
members OF the British Catholic deputation, most Of
| whom have arrived IN Rome this afternoon.

by the canons were decorated with q refinement
worthy even OF the Pontihcal chapel. But the
