Pope Plus OF Rome says: A New York paper
asserts that Pope Plus has written an Official let

bishops of this country, setting the seal Of his
condemnation upon our Public School system.
If this be true. His Holiness might be in better
business. In the first place he is at war with
the Monroe doctrine" fundamental princi-
pie IN our politics, which denounces any inter-
ference by foreign poteHtates with tho 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 Spiritual prince.
He has nothing 10 do with the politics Of this
country. His temporal sway, even IN Catholic
Italy, has been taken from him. In America
the people make the laws md name the officers
10 execute them. Can Pope Plus be ignorant
81 that fact ? The Government does not under
take to run the churches, and it is very certain
that churches will not be allowed to run the
Government. So far as the public schools and
general education is concerned, nine-tenths Of
our people believe IN them as useful and nee

The better class CT Catholics will not agree with
him, and the entire force Of Professionalism will

The alleged miraculous cure, in answer to
prayer, Of Mrs. Janette M. Robinson, of Chica-
90, is still causing much discussion in that city.
4 late issue of the Chicago Tribune contains a
statement in which il is explained that Mrs.
Robinson had suffered from two falls, the first
N 1865, and that it was at that time that she
went to st. Luke's Hospital, and was discharged
az cured. 1t was in 1867 that she had fall
from street car, which caused the paralysis
which she claims lasted until cured, in answer
10 prayer. She also denies the assertions OF
the physician and female detective who declared
that she was feignlng paralysis in order to Sc
cure damages from the street car company, and
promises to make full statement in few
days, as soon as she can hear from people III
the east who knew of her cure, and can vouch
for all the attendant circumstances.
This is the story IN brief, that is just now
travelling in seven league boots, and which
tredulous and confding people are asked to be-
.ieve as true. The Chicago Tribune Of Feb.
-, on the 7th page, contains most thorough
expose OF the whole story, showing it to be
fabrication throughout. The Tribune expose
concludes thus:
The Mrs. Jeanette M. Robertson who says
she was miraculously cured in 1874. is the mo-
iher of Hank Davis, and testified on his trial.
She then swore her name was Mary Davis she
now says il Is Jeanette Nj. Robertson. She
then swore that she tended, alone, to her son

went to Riga in 1871 and was cured there in
1874. She now refuses to answer questions on
these points. Either she swore falsely in court,
or she told untruths to the reporters, and either
indicates that she is hardly the person who is
eottlod TO miraculous incorporation.

One OF the greatest hindrances TO the temperance
