gSynThe ultra-montane doctrines of
the last century have received serious
checks within the last few years. The
stronger powers of Europe are now In
league against them. On late visit by
Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria to
Venice, he formally and publicly con-
graduated King Victor Emmanuel up
on the consolidation !of Italy; and the
outward demonstrations were most
cordial The Protestant world will find
greater significance, however,in the pub
lie announcement that Italy has joined
the league with Austria. Germany and
Russia to oppose the election of q Pope
laying claim to infallible pretensions,
as successor to Pope Plus TX. The
infallible theories now seem to find
more favor in France, Spain and the
United States, than in any other
country having no larger Catholic
element.

DNrThe citizen of average honesty

BAy~There Is vast amount of philos-

erty at the South, had something to do
with it, The Witness lays the fault at
the door of the foreign element which
is rapidly superseding the native born
population in the manufacturing states
of New England and especially in Con-
necticut. There is grain of truth in
each of these philosophers. The third
term hoax has had its effect, no doubt.
The prejudices Of some of our better
citizens rebel against the enforced So
cial equality between the races which
they think is meant by the civil rights

that the late increase in the relative

if not the New Englanders themselves
In one way or another, nearly all
Roman Catholics side with the Demo
Gratis, and must do so from taste, and
prejudice, and custom.
But there is another element which
should not be overlooked in defining
the causes of Republican defeat. The
liquor interest is sure to go tina,
way provided there is anything near 6
majority to give them encouragement
of success or popularity, And this is 6
strong element in any election. Oul
shrewdest politicians have long since
learned this fact, and those who are
not especially scrupulous, if indeed any
are, endeavor to secure the favor of tina
element at all hazards. And so Con
necticut was lost to the Republicans
though the comparative majority was
considerably lessened, which SHOULD
have suggested to the Democratic roost
ers that a little modesty would have
been becoming and appropriate.
