The Changers.
From the N. Y. Freema,

| From the N. Y. Freeman's Journal
A Correspondent writes US from Rails
Co., Missouri:
81 wish you would write an article on the
Changers, and on the lawfulness of Catholics
joining them, etc.
Catholics ought not to become Changers,
and cannot do so with good conscience.
The Grange is secret society, aud there
| fore specifically one of the kind of secret
societies most emphatically prohibited by
Apostolic Constitutions. Great efforts
have been made, in some parts of the
country, to deceive Catholics in this mat
ter. We see in the N. Y. Sun of March
80, the following paragraph very promi-
nently published
Many Roman Catholics have been deferred
from joining Oranges on account of canon of
their Church which forbids connection with
| secret societies. Catholic member of the
Minnesota Legislature recently applied to
Bishop Grace for leave to enter the order and
the Bishop referred the question to the Pope,
who replied that the petitioner might join if
he found nothing therein conflicting with his
conscience or creed
This paragraph is false in fact, and alb
surb in it's state ments. Bishop Grace
would not have referred the question to
Rome, without having exact Information
as to the character, ritual, and workings
of the Changers and if he had had such
exact information new declaration
would have been needed from Rome by
the Rt. Rev. Rishop of St. Paul, to con-
vince him that the Grange is utterly I'M
lawful for any of the faithful, of either
sex. 1t is equally paipable that the Holy
See would never have made so loose a re-
Spouse as that quoted above.
1t is not consistent with our habits and
principles to promote espionage, or to-so-
licit betray ais of secrets. But if there be
any one in q position, in an open and
manly way, and responsibility, to put us in
possession of the secret obligation, ritual,
and working of the Changers it would be a
good work. We apprehend that none of
the Bishops are in possession of this full
information. This is why, we suppose,
they have confined their action to charging
their clergy, or such as have consulted
them, only to warn their people against
joining them. We are glad to know that
some Catholics, after the reasons we gave
them, withdrew-one of them writing and
fully confirming the propriety of our con-
demnation.
Since then, the Changers, that began
with the pretence that they would have
nothing to do with politics, have entered
into the full political career. The origi-
nal profession that the organization was
only to protect farmers from the ra-
pacity of Railroad Corporations has been
changed for the delusive projects of COM
binations of farmers for doing their own
buying and selliDg-the'end of which, of
course, will be the Fleeing of the larger
part of the associates for the enrichment
of neU class of agents, instead of the
legitimate channels of trade.

| DEFEAT OF THE HOME RULERS In COUNTY
DUBLIN.-On Thursday, the 10th of March, the
High Sheriff of Dublin County declared the
result of the polling as follows: Taylor (Con.
| servative), 2122; ParneT1 (Home Ruler), 116l
The Nation says:
There can be no doubt that this is very
substantial victory for Mr.. Disraeli, and q
heavy defeat for the Liberal and National
party. There was general expectation, even
amongst the tories themselves, that if Colonel
Taylor were reelected it would be by a small
majority. The actual result, nevertheless, ia
that he has polled nearly twice the number of
votes recorded for his opponent. The defeat
of the Liberals will seem all the greater when
we look at the result of previous contests in
the County Dublin. In 1865 Colonel White
polled 1889 votes, and in 1868 Alderman Nc
Swiney, after only two or three days canvass
ing, polled 1888. Thus it appears that, as
compared with themselves, the Liberals have
been steadily declining in the scale, while if
We look to the Tory figures we shall find that
they have remained pretty much the Same
through all those years. The explanation for
this state of affairs we believe will be found
in the apathy of the Liberals. While the Con-
servAtiyes have carefully attended to the re-
gistry, the Liberals have all but In name
utterIy neglected that duty. As we state else
where to-day, it is an ascertained fact that
there are over four thousand electors qualified
to exercise the franchise who are not regis
tered, and three-fourths of the number belong
TO the Liberal and National party.

RIOT IN LURGAN, IRELAND, ON ST. PATRIcK's

Fere beaten of, and the NationalIsts proceed

The New Haven Palladium gives the following notice of Mir. Joseph Battell who died at Brooklyn on the Sth inst;
 Born in Norfolk. Conn.,, in 1906, he was graduated at Middlebury college, in Yer mont, Ill 1923, at the age of seventeen years, ranking second in class of which Professor Conant, the eminent biblical scholar and critic, was the valedictorIan. He made himself master of the French, German and Spanish languages soon after leaving college. He engaged in mercan- camille business at an early age, and ac- quired large fortune, which he iberally dispensed in benevolent enterprises. MT. Battell was a large contributor to Yale college, one of his latest gifts being a large subscription toward the cost of the new chapel.

The papers are just now busy denoun- cing the conduct of that eminent patriot of the Third House, Hon. Victory c. Beers, of Cornwall. They say he has taken pay on both sides in the Thomaston and one or two other matters, and that he offered . distinguished legislator $200 to make 8 speech in favor of Thomaston, which seems high price for any such speeches as we see reported this year. Exactly what else licentions press charges against MT. Beers we have not learnt, but he IS evil dently in hot water at New Haven, and we fear that his usefulness as mission ary of Reform will be permanently injur- ed.
