The church and Science.
lpublin rreeman,s Journ.l.l

The puerile notion that the Catholic
Church has some indt finite and lurking
opposition to ecienti6c inquiry 10 not quite
so absoiete but that it finds favor in certain
quarters interested in the continuance of a
belief 10 the bugbear. 1t avails little that
the most emphatic contradiction to the
proposition has been afforded by dstin-
gushed children of the Church against
WHICH the reproach is leveled the, state
ment is again and again repeated, and no
doubt is eagerly accepted 10y the ignorant
and unrshecting masses for whose misip-
struction it is intended. The great bulk of
the English people, for iustance, know COM
paratively little OF the labOrs in the cause
"f science which have been brought to q
successful issue by humble priests of the
very communion they are taught to look
upon as inimical to the pursuits of science.
1t were needless TO remind Catholic readers
Of the fallaciousness of this idea but q
circumstance which we chronicle in our
news column will have q good effect in dis
pellipg much prejudice on this subject on
the other side of the Channel. The learned
priests of Stony hurst College, it will be re-
menbered, some months ago dispatched
two distinguished members of their Order
to the remote island of Ke-guelen, far away
in the Southern Ocean, for tie sole object of
adding to the worlds knowledge of our
planets distance from the SUP, by taking
observations of the phenomena accompany
ing tne transit OF enus. These gentlemen, {,
Fathers Perry aud Sltgraves, have return
ed from their tedious aud periious mission
and have just had an interview with the
Sovereign Pontiif, to whom they had the
honor of detailing the results of their in
terestipg observations. The Jesuits of
StoDyhurst have reason to be proud of the
service which two members of their much
'maligned Order have been able to render to
the cause of religion, in dispelling vulgar
error in regard to the relation in which IL
stands to true science. The Catholic Church
is the parent and fosterer of real scientific
research, but she resolutely sets her heel
upon such deceptive charlatanism as the
fascinating profanities of Hox!ey, Tyndall,
ct hoe genus omne.

The Masonic Humbug.

A controversy regarding Freemasonry
is now going on in the New York
Herald. One of the correspondents, after
reminding the reader that ''Desaguilliers,
French Huguenot. while living In London i,
made all that speculative and vague philos-
opby about geometry of which Masonry is
10 now composed" asks him to "look at
the seal of master Mason, in the shape of
o keystone, and you will see on it the ini-
tiale Fl. T. T. w. 81 T. X. s. These are
the initials of the words Hiram of Tyre,
the Widow's Son, sent to King Solomon ;
Are those initials in accordance with the
Hebrew or Epgisb languages We pause
for reply. Masonry, he says, sis exceed
lDgly useful in this country in getting office
and position without merit, in covering up
fraud and cheating society of it's dues. 1t
substitutes selfishness for charity it sub
verts tho Christian religion by symbolism
which is based on infidetity, and worship
OF art and nature in the abstract. 1t is a
good religion for this world, but bad one
for the next" 1t ia pure selfshness that
makes Americans Free Masous and Knights
of Pythias, and Seven Wise Men, and SO
on. They have sense enough to see the
puerility of all such nonsense.
1t may not be known to all that the
Freemasons are nothing more nor less than
fallen Catholic organization. When
Christian architecture under the influence
of the Catholic Church became science,
the 'cafVers OF stone" became q guild of
skilled workers, who were favored by the
Popes with many privileges, and exempted
from burdens thrown on other laborers
Hence they were called "Free Masons,"
and were held in great repute by Arch
bishops, Bishops, and others high in the
Church. They exerted their skill in the
erection of splendid cathedrals and stately
abbeys and churches, which even to the
present day dot the surface of Europe and
excite the enthusiastic admiration of every
cultivated traveller. In course oftime the Ma
sons lost their rsemi-ecclesiasticalc character,
and became society divorced from the
Church, and indifferent or hostile to reli-
gion. As such they have been repeatedly
condemned. The same history attaches to
the Knights Templar, who were noble
Catholic order, but who, through their as
sociations with the Ssracens, lost their
primitive piety, and were convicted of in
famoue crimes, for which they were sup
pressed five centuries ago by Pope Clement.
The pretenson of these orders to great an
tiQuity is pure moonshine.

THE CATHEDRAL OF ORvIETo-F ON
enc of the psrrowest and darkest of the
streets of Orveto we come suddenly upon
the cathedral, q blaze of light and color,
the most aerial Gothic structure in the
world, evory line a line of beauty. There
is something in the feeling that no artists
worked at this glorious temple but the
greatest architects, the greatest scu1ptors
of their time; that no material was used
but that which was most precious, most
costly, aud which would produce the most
glorious effect, which carries one far away
from all comparisons with other earthly
buildipgs-to the description in the Revela-
tion of the New Jerusalem. The very
platform on which the cathedral stands is
of purple Apenniue marble; the loveliest
jaspers and pietri dure are worked into it's
pinnacles aud buttresses, the main founda-
ton Of its pictured front is gold. A hundred
and 6fty-two scuiptors, of whom Arm oiio
and Giovanni de Pisa are the greatest names
handed down to US, worked upon the orna-
mentation near the base sixty eight painss
ters and ninety workers in mosaic gave life
to the glorious pictures of it's upper stories.
All the surroundings are harmonious
solemn old houses, with black and white
marble seats running along the basement,
on which one may cit aud gaze; a tower
surNounted 10y a gigantic bronze warrior,
who strikes the hours with the clash of his
sword upon a great bell (; an ancient, ob
long palace with gothic arches and fat
windows, where thirty four Popes have
sought refuge or held u court at different
times-all serving as dark settip & to make
more respleudent the glittering radiancy of
the golden front of the temple in their
midst Hares Days in Rome.

The COnsoription Of the italian Clergy.

The iniquitous law subjeeting the clergy
in Italy to forced military service has just
passed both Houses, and only requires the
Royal signature to become law. What
likelihood there has ever been that that
formality would be wanting may be infer
red from the fact that Count Scott, the
brother of Duke Scotti of Milan, having
applied in writing for an audience OF the
King, that he might present a petition from
Milan against the Bill bearing more than
10000 signatures, has rece,ved point
blank refusal. 1t was in 1864 that the
attempt was frat made to bring the clergy
indiscriminately under the COnscrption.
Since 1858 the Bishops had been empowered
to demand exemption Tor q limited number of
ecclesiastics. The proposal was resisted
by Cesare Cantu and Blondes Reggie
and though only two or three Deputies had
the courage to speak against it. forty five
voted againstit in the secret ballot. 1t was
thus carried in the Lower House, but re-
jected in the Senate. In 1868 General Ber
thoie Viate carried another Bill, which
passed the House of Deputies by 223 votes
| to 25, and the Senate by 67 to 3O and by
which the clergy were made subject to the
levy, but were allowed to buy themselves
off by the payment of a fixed sum. An as
! sociation was then formed for tue purpose
of raising fund for the ransom OF young
priests but by the law just passed this
| chance of escape is taken away, and all
priests included, are forced to scrve in per
| son. At the same time the Bishops who
have not applied for the Royal ercqnatur
are being proceeded against, and the Blsh-
ops OF Iinola and Marsi are among those
who have received notice to quit their resi-
dences. All this explains the act of a
Catholic who had hitherto retained his posi-
tlon as Senator of the Kingdom, but has
now resigned, on the ground that "the dis
cord between the Church and the State
has now broken out into war;" The name
of this Senator's is francesca Correale, Conte
di Terranova.

In the old times, when Catholic faith
held Christendom in one bond, there were
no seats at ail in the churches and now,
in the great cathedrals of Europe. the wide
floors are open and clear, for rich and poor,
beggar and nObleman, to enter and kpeel
together. In other days, Christian people
were not ashamed to kneel on the church
floor, bearing the fatigue in contrition for
their aims. Then religion was principle; but
now it ia fashion. In these days, we do not
go to church like the publican, with feeling
Of peaitence aud humility but We sail in-
to our pews in full feather, and kneel aud
sit on soft cushions, as if we were paying q
compliment to Almighty God.

Mr.. Charles OConor, in a recent rel ark :
able essay on Democracy, marks out some
of the needed reforms in the American sys-
tenn of republican government. He says
government should be unseen and unfe!t,
as far as may be. 1t should be intrusted
with the least possible power, and Obliged
to perform the fewest possible duties. All
taxation should be direct. Trade should
be absolutely free. The customhouscs
should be sold and their proceeds used to
pay off the national debt. No further deb.
should be created in any shape or form.
The only iacome should be from taxes
Government should have nothing to do
with money beyond stamping upon specie
the signs of the value OF each particular
coin. General laws should be passed for all
business matters F; for the formation of
private and public corporations, ETC., aud
there should be no private legislation what
ever. We should have no armies, navies,
forts, arsenals, military schools, etc. Our
diplomatic corps should be abolished. Vo.
ting should be rird roce, not by ballot.
Minority representation should not exist.
There should be no laws regulating the
hours of labor, and no public schools. Only
a few officials should be elected-"Say the
Chief Executive and the Legislature.n
Their terms should be short. Appointed
officials should be removed only for fault or
incapacity. "Faithful service and proved
capacity are singular grounds Of dissualifi.
cation" A military commander should be
ineligible to the Presidency until after a
long interval. In densely populated districts,
registry laws should be in force. Noperson
receiving pay from the public should be
allowed to vote. The crime of assassin 9
offieehol6ers to pay the expenses of politio
cal campaigns should be severely punished.
It will be profitable study in politics to
go through this condensed SUNNI ary, point
by point, and work out the result Of the
reforms proposed by Mr.. O'Conor.

The following facts on the duration of life
appear in the DcWtSckG TerSichcrangS Zcitung ::
" In ancient Rome, during the period betw cen
the years 200 and 300 A. D., the average dura.
ton of life among the upper CLASSES was o
years. In the present century, among the
same class of people, it amounts to so years.
In rhe sixteenth century the mean duration of
iia> IN Geneva was 2l ~ years; between 1914
and 1888 il was,40 6S years; and nj the present
time as many people live to 40 years of age as
three huudred years ago lived to the age of 40.
lu the year 1893 the British Government bor-
rowei money, the amounts borrowed to be
paid in annuities, the basis of the mean
duration of life ut that time. Tho State
treasury made thereby a good bargain aud all
parties to the transaction were satisfied. Nine
ty-seven years later, Pitt established another
tontine or annuity company, based on the pre-
sumption that the mortality would remain the
same one hundred years before. But in this
instance, it trauspired that the Government
had made n bad bargain, since, while in the
first tontine ten thousand persons of each sex
died under the age of twenty eight, one hun
dred years later, only five thousand seven hun
dred aud seventy-two males aud six thousand
four hundred and sixteen females died under
this age. From these facts it appears that life
under certain favorable Influences has gained
in many and probably in all it's forms and man.
ifestations, both in vigor and duration. To
still further promote this tendency, it is only
necessary that those conditions under which
the attainment of the desired end is possible
be made to accord with the Fundamental natu-
raj laws"
