GIVE IT UP.

THE EVENING Post has the follow
ing good words for Beecher, who re-
Gently preached in Moody's Church in
Chicago.
Henry Ward Beecher preached yes
terday to all the persons that could be
packed into the Chicago Avenue
Church, (better known as Moody's
church,. Those who were able to
obtain admission bore but small pro-
portion to those who came to hear
Beecher and ''could not come at him
for the press" The preacher shows
the effect of increasing years and the
terrible ordeal through which he has
passed. But as he warmed with his
subject, which was, THY kingdom
come, Thy will be done on earth as it
is in Heaven" the old fire glowed in
his eye; irradiated his face; straight
ened his slightly bending form, and he
stood as of yore, a man OF iron upon
a foundation of rock. Chicago hon

ton yesterday Of the great preacher
of Plymouth. That he is human he
would himself readily concede. That
he has been unfortunate in his judg-
ments, indiscreet in some Of his words,
letters, and actions, he would be
prompt to admit, but that this cold
man eloquent" has ever been criminal,
is incredible. The people of this city,
whose opinions are worth considering
have never believed it, and the entlrs
Northwest has reflected the opinion OF
its metropolis. The people of this part
of the country at least, have been as
loyal to Beecher as he has been to the
nation, and, as we believe. to the doc
trines he has for many years proclaim
ed with wonderful power, and sustain
ed by a consistent life. His adverse
ries have, since their attack upon him,
gradually sunk. He has regained his

THE BILL exempting the Wiscon-
sin Central Rail Road Co.'S lands
from taxation for a term of five years,
and which was reported to have passed
the Assembly in an amended form,
leaving the questions to the resident
voters along the line, it seems has at
last been passed, and requires only the
Governors signature to make it valid
law. The term of three instead of
five years is about the only alteration
the bill has undergone since its advent
in the Senate. Now the West Wis.

POPE PIUs has issued an encyclicaI
to his church officers in America in
which he makes wholesale denuncia-
sion of our public school system. Now
IN ency clical is not so terrible thing,
it being only letter. 1t isn't half so
terrible thing as bull, especially a
mad bull, or a Maddox. 1t don't have
horns, it don't kick, it don't bulldose,
but it does influence the officials who
are subordinates Of his Holiness, the
good old Plus, for whom we have had
profound reverence. We are sorry to
see the old man whose years are folded
about him like a sacred mantle, so far
forgetting himself as to attempt to die
tate to progressive and unsectarian
America the manner in which she shall
conducs her educational system.
In nc nation on the globe has the
Catholic church been accorded so high
privileges and been awarded so much
of distinction and honor as in Demo
cratic America. 1t has been protected
and fostered by the Republic till it
has grown to be mighty power, and
we rejoice that within its pale are en-
braced so many grand men whose char
acter, seperate and apart from church
tenets and ritualistic ceremony, of
which we speak in no disparagement,
as national men and citizens of the
great commonwealth, has made them
prominent, and placed them among
the 6rst and most highly hOnored of
our citizens. The Church of which
Pope Plus is the head has never tasted
oppression under the flag of the Uni
ted States. 4 liberty such as has
been awarded 90 all sects has been
hers to enjoy and make the most OF

liberty, but when she, through her

THE POPE AND THE SCHOOLS.


A New York paper asserts that Pope
Plus has written an official letter to
the Catholic Cardinal. Archbishops
and Bishops of this country setting
the sea! of his condemnation upon our
system of Public Schools. If this be
trne His Holiness night be in better
business. In the first place he is at
war with the Monroe doctrine" a
fundamental principle in our politics,
which denounces any interference by
foreign potentates with the policy or
practice Of American States. In the
second place he sets himself against
perhaps the most characteristic of our
institutions, and one In the support of
which intelligent men of all parties,
cordially unite. In the third place he
is going outside of his prerogatives as
a Spiritual prince. He has nothing to
do with the politics of this country.
His temporal sway, even iii Catholic
I:ily, has been taken from him. In
America the people make the laws and
name the officers to execute them.
Can Pope Plus be ignorant of that
fact? The government does not under
take to run the churches, and it IS very
certain that the churches will not be
allowed to run the Government. So
far as the public schools and general
education are concerned, nine-tenths
of our people believe in them as use
full and necessary adjuncts to Repub-
lican form of government. If Pope
Plus differs, he has that right. But if
he thinks to use his spiritual power in
such = way as to make his difference
of opinion effectual in shutting up the
schools in the Uniten States, he is not
led by "inspiration" to any alarming
extent, at least in this matter. He
might as we'll issue bull against
comet. The better class Of Catholics
will not agree with him, and the entire
force of professionalism will rise up to
oppose him. Pope Plus once talked
of visiting the United States. IF he
were not so old, it would be we'll for
him to do so. Six months spent in ex-
aiming the institutions and people of
America would give him new and val
liable views of the proper style of en-
cyelieal to send to this part of the New
World. Neither an almanac nor an
encyclical calculated for the latitude
of Rome will answer for the Republic
of the United States.
No SOONER had the Electoral Com
mission decided that the vote of Flori-
da should be counted for Hayes, than
Stevens Point Democrats commenced
to gather in groups. and lament over
the partizaR spirit exhibited by the
vote. And they were right. How
could these seven Democrats vote to
give the State to Tifden, when they
knew it belonged to Hayes? Such par
tizanship is not only lamentable = its
awful. We were told, and we had a
right to expect, that this tribunal
would decide the momentous question
upon its merits, without regard to par
ty predictions or previous condition
Of servitude, and now to see those sew
ea Democrats put on their straight
party jackets and vote to give Florida
to Tilden, fairly make us shudder.
How could they? If it wasn't for the
impartiality of Justice Bradley, We
don't know what We should do.-.Sts-
