SPEECH BY THE PoPE-HIs Views OF
UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE-''AL1 THIS Ii
BERTY COMES TO NOTHING The Pope,
in answering an address presented to
him by deputation of old Papa. Off
cials few days ago. said:
These sentiments which you have ex-
pressed to me, the presence here of these
officials of the Minister of Commerce,
and of the Minister himself. remind me
of tho month Of November, l84S. Those
were sad times, which, however, were
soon followed by an era of tranquility
and peace. In those times, in those
days. there appeared before me in my
me-the Quirinal, the Minister of Com
merce and Public Works. This man is
now dead. I fear he died animated by
the same evil feelings which he cherished
during his lifetime. This man ap.
peared before me. Though repnbi-
can, and having the character of tri-
bune of the people, he came forward
timid and apprehensive, and IN low
voice told me that the popular turbu-
lence had been occasioned by an allocu-
tion pronounced by me, in which I de-
clared to all the powers that I refused to
join those who had declared war against
Austria. and said, "The Vicar of Christ
must keep ct peace with ALL" "But,"
said that man, ''you might suffer great
calamities." II will suffer them" was
my answer. "But, in order to avert
oven great calamities, will do nothing
contrary to honor, to justice, to con-
science, TO religion" And 20 it was. I
found myself compelled to abandon
Rome, and I might we'll say that in order
not to perpetrate an act contrary to JUS
tice, lost my throne. This is not what
has happened nowadays. The throne
has been violently taken from me. From
whom, then, are we to expect help?
From whom, If all the Governments are
dominated by sects and by those who
walk in darkness? Not. surely, from
them; from whom, then? The Catholic
world, as you have justly remarked, is at
the feet Of God imploring for mercy.
From the others we have nothing to
hope. And why? When St. John the
Baptist wanted to confirm his disciples,
who wished to know whether Jesus
Christ was the true Messiah, he said to
them: "Go ye and ask him." And they
went; and Jesus Christ answered unto
them: "Tell John that the blind SEQ, the
deaf hear, the dumb speak, the lame
walk, and even the dead arise" AS
much as to say, "FYom my works you
mag learn who am L" If we would look
at all the Governments Of Europe. we
should find that the works of all are the
reverse Of what Jesus. Christ told the
disciples of st. John. The works, you
see them yourselves. The works Of o
Government so-called of Italy, of a Go.
vernment 80 called of Madrid, of Co.
vernment so-oalled of Paris, behold
theml Behold those doings and tell me
what can We hope from this world.
These are the few words wished TO ad-
dress to you before blessing you. You
see what takes place in these days. They
say that there are certain guarantees
that there is liberty for all to vote in the
administrative elections. I see, how
ever. that this liberty comes to nothing.
A minister publishes q circular which
fsightens everybody. There are tumults
in the streets. The guarantees and the
liberty do not exist. Let everybody.
however, do his best. Let everybody
follow the advice OF authoritative per-
sons, and if we.do not succeed, it will
be proof of the hypocrisy OF the qua.
ranties and of liberty.
