The Pope On Catholic Temperance

From the Catholic Review,
At the last convention of the Massachu-
sets State Catholic Temperance Mon an
exceedingly filial address to the Holy Faith
err was prepared on behalf of the c0nven-
ton by the committee, Messrs. ?. j. Flat
lev, of Boston; }. W. Dunphy, Of Boston,
and j. c. Costair, of West6eld. The fol-
lowing important letter has been sent IN
reply:
APOSTOLIC BENEDICToN-We have heard,
beloved children, with great joy, not only
that your State Union had met In conven-
ton, but that your sister unions also had
taken counsel together as to the most eftec-
tual means of preventing the evils that
flow from intemperance. Drunkenness, 1t
is certain, fosters and stimulates every
species of strife and wickedness as the in
spired word teaches. Wine is a luxuri-
Gus thing and drunkenness riotous.
Wherefore St. Augustine writes. Drum
kenness is the mother Of crime, the root OF
vice. the wreck of chastity, the spring OF
evil, the overthrow of reason, the ruin OF
the body, and a loathsome disease of the
soul.
By drunkenness, therefore, morality is
yitiated a neglect and contempt of divine
things is gradually superinduced, and when
these pillars of social order are shaken, pub
| lie safety is jeopardized, the family is re-
duced to want and its members torn asun-
der at last health itself gives way, for he
who loves wine and feasting will be poor
and they who give themselves to drinking
will be consumed.
In your own zeal, Consequently, to abol
Iish this disreputab!e and promiscuous Gus
tom you not only struggle against one vice
but in YOUR efforts to stem the numberles
evils flowing from this source you also ad
vance the interests of your religion, pro
mote the welfare of your fellow man, ant
the prosperity Of your country. An'
should you, with Gods grace, prosecut
the movement to success, you will call dow
manifold blessings on your own people
For the same St. Augustine observes, Sc
briefly is the mother Of all virtues.
: It puts to fight sin and crime, shuns tn
danger is faithful to duty, and rules owe
the home and family with care and model
alton.
We exhort you, therefore, for the tru
welfare of your country, to vigorously urg
| onward the total abstinence movement, Ill
der the guidance of the church. Thus WI
: you, beyond all contradiction, deserve we
e of God. of the church, aud of your fello
| men. We most cordially wish you I'll
{ largest measure Of success and the happ
r r est results to your labors, and in toke

THE CHAMPION ICE ELEVATOR.
A Practical Invention by MI Lou Townsend, of
Terre Haute. Ind.

A reporter from THE ARGUS visited
South Rock Island, the great lee depot OF
the west, Yesterday. No business has ever
been more suddenly developed than this
ice business The immense bed of Rock
river with its thousands of tons of clear
crystal ice from Is inches to 2 feet in
thickness was covered with men and teams
all cutting the ice into blocks of the desired
size and floating them down the canal and
to the banks, where mammoth houses were
being erected for storage, while at other
points they were being taken by teams to
long trains of cars for shipment to various
points south and southeast.
The principal attraction was

and Mr.. Jacob White, two gentlemen and
capitalists from Indiana This invention
will make revolution in the ice business.
The heaviest ice packers of the south who
are on the ground speak in unqualified
terms of endorsement of the invention fol
it's thorough practical operations and say
they can save double it's price every season
by using it. 1t is simple in constructor
as well as cheap, consisting OF water
chute which rises and falls in the watel
for the reception of the blocks Of ice. Ihi

S top of the elevator which is connected by

The question has been many times a

The question has been many times ask
ed: is this Christian country? AT
last an informal and rather indirect answer
to this weighty cOnundrum has been vouch-
safed by the judiciary Committee of the
Washington House OF Representatives 1t
appears that some snufy religionists have
been boring the House with petitions for
the establishment of the existence of
a personal God by clause in the Federal
Constitution The Judiciary Committed
have had the subject under consideration.
They went back to the foundation of the
government, and rummaged diligently
among the meagre records Of the debates
1 in the Constitutional Convention of 1881
They find that the subject was carefully
considered in that body, and that the con
clusion arrived at was that this country
should not set up u religious monopoly o
any kind whatever, nor show any PARTIAL
ty among peoples gods by recognizing an!
particular one of them. Chicago Times

are of the unanimous opinion that neither

whatever to do with that affair; that the
putting up of that caricature was the tool
