One Of The most interesting features of the
World's Fair at Philadelphia will be the Wo-
mems Department-not = department. merely
presided over by women, but one devoted ex-
clusively to the exhibition of the products
ofwomans invention, genius, and the results
of her industrial pursuits. The proposition to
give the fair such feature was first made in
1873, when eeveral women of Philadelphia set
to work and raised some SOS 600 for the pnr-
pose. After that applications for space to ex-
hibit women's achievements in the arts came
in 30 fast from foreign countries, well as
from different parts Of the United States that
it was determined to construct q special paw
lion and make tie womeD's exhibition . sepa-
rate department. This made more money
necessary. The women of Philadelphia re-
sponded promptly with subscriptions amount
ing TO $4,000 Ohio followed with 9l5 600
and Massachusetts, subscribed 5000 more.
This leaves about sl5 COO still to be raised be-
fore the pavilion can be completed, and the
women of New York have undertaken so make
up the balance.

DIFFICULTIES SUGGESTED BY REASON AM
HISTORY.


haue yet a feg more objections to propose in
order to ascertain if yotS are capable of refu
ting the eTrors Of our day on fhis posnt.
What srould you dnssser to those arho say
that God alone is infalhble, and that Srery
man is subject to error?
Certeipiy, God clone is ipfallible by na-
ture but it 10 precisely this infallible God,
who. according to His own promise, assists
His Vicar, preserving him from error and
com municatiug to him ray OF His own
Infaliibility. Thus, for example, God alone
can work miracles He alone can read the
future; and yet innumerable saints, by
special gift, have wrought miracles and
prophesied.
2 But there still remains the argument
that erer9 man is subject to error, and
that the Pope has the same liGbilityg
When he speaks as man, he is so indeed
but when be speaks as Pope, in the name
of God, he is not subject to error. When
but God who speaks by his lips. We must
always return to the frat principle of his
infaliibility, that is, the promised assis,
tance of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit OF
Truth we will thus comprehend that the
Pope cannot err when teaching tho faith
ana morality.
8 But you admit that the Pope is not
impeceable in q trsrd, he is a man, prone to
human Weakness. Might it not then happen
that in debating definition of faith or
morals he acould permit himself to be guided
| by some human passion, or that caprice might
influence his decision
No; for God. who has promised Infalli
bility to the Pope, could not permit that,
through passion OF want of reflection, he
should give an erroneous definition. We
always return to HE fundamental point :;
| the InfAilibilty is not founded on the
science or virtue Of man it depends on the
assistance of God, which assistance, how
ever, does not exclude study and research
in Theology.
| 4. But there is no reasoning that can
preuail against facts. Your reasons are er
cellent get history is there to demonstrate
that in spite of their infallibitity, some Popes
hare fallen into error
1t would be impossible for them to fall
into error in teaching doctrines of faith Ol
morality. This has never happened. Here
is the essential point. All that has beer
asserted and repeated On the subject o
other falls, other mistakes of Popes, ha
nothing to do with the present question
The enemies of religion NAY vainly seeI
among all the definitions emanauing from
the POpes, q siug error in faith or morale
, single 6octrine that should have been Ie
: tracted by the Church. Not one can b
, found! You may discover in history trait
, that throw discredir on the personal con
duct of some Popes, but it would be i'm
a possibl to discoveror to demonstrate a sin
d gle fact which tells sainst their doetiin
h definitions in matters of faith and mora
History supplies US with o magnificer
J.. confirmation of the doctrine of infallIbIlit
Gs defined by the Vatican Council.

RESULT OF THE RAILROAD ELECs
TION.

1t IS rather a difficult matter to
determine up to the moment OF
writing what has been the result.
Of the railroad election. Some ac-
counts give the returns as far as re-
ceived as favorable to granting the
subsidy, others claim . decided
majority against the approval Of
the railroad act. From the returns
showing a favorable yote, given at.
precincts and IN counties where all
alongEit had been expected would
be polled a strong anti subsidy vote,
it is only fair to presume that the
railroad subsidy act has received
the approval Of the people OF the
Territory through q majority Of
the votes cast. at. the election in
relation thereto. The result Of the
election, whatever i may be, BY no
means expresses.the desire OF the
