make them look upon the pope as
the basest Of men. To assail
the pope, In Mr.. Gladstone's opin-

rated the children from the father, Mr..
Gladstone proceeds to conciliate the for

did Mr.. Gladstone make his discoveries,
aud why Is this expOstulation published
now, and why was II not published be-

all the alarms, he here gives voice to
date from the year 1870. Why, then,
did we not hear In 1870 Of all this2 The
Irish church act was passed in 1869, and

that year to speak as now he speaks for
fear OF endangering a necessary act OF

1878 Mr.. Gladstone heartily engaged
himself to extend over the queens sub.

now he seems to think intolerable. This
is matter OF which some explanation
is necessary. In his account Of the Irish
university bill, he himself suggests that
1878 is the true period of his change of
sentiment. Hesays: The Roman Cath

the rejection of that measure by the

Angry and astonished, he thought once,
twice, thrice about the papacy and its
agents, and these are his conclusions.
Shifted out of Office because he seemed
blind to the very consideration he now
parsdes as all his own, he took a new
view Of them; and now he finds that
COdling, not Short, is the true Protest
ant and patriot. No other conclusion
can be drawn from this extraordinary
pamphlet, and we doubt whether it will
prove serviceable to its author. The
Times has two articles on the subject.
The first one is devoted to the arch
bishops and to Lord AetOn's letters. 1t
admits the full force of the archbishop's
argument "that the civil allegiance OF

no greater than those Of all men who

BAILEY ON THE GLAD

New YORK, November 26-Arch-
bishop Bailey, OF Baltimore, in q ser
non to-day in st. Mary's church, Jer-
'ey City, referred to the present contrO-
gersy in England, growing out of the
Gladstone pamphlet. He said Glad
stones position was only assumed in
order to secure 10 himself a return to
power, and that were there a more gen.
sral knowledge of the tenets Of the Ro-
nan Catholic church, such a cOntro-
gersy would be impossible. He spoke
also of what he termed extreme preju-
lice against the church in the far west,
which prevented the establishment Of
Catholic missions among the Indians,
wen where other churches had missions,

ended to them even in England.
