IT should not be forgotten that uomt
years ago the Changers began a con
certed war, in all the States, against
railways. They carried the day. Rail
way rates were everywhere so reduced
that dividends were simply Impossible
and of course the wages of employees
were lesseued p0ri passu with the en-
forced reduction of freight and passen'
ger rates. The result is the strikes,
the upheaval of society, the danger Of
anarchy and, of course, of the substi-
tuition of q desrotism for the republic.
Such is the natural and necessary end
OF these terrible, because selfish and
unwise, combinations.

we hurrah

Catholics ought not to conclude that book
is safe reading because it is subscribed for by
some other good Catholic, even by some of the
clergy or the religious communities. These
may sometimes have reasons for getting an IN
sound book, may themselves be mistaken
in its character.
Very recently was asked to subscribe to an
Encyclopedia, and high Catholic names were
stated to be on the subscri ption list. Yet it is
work in which the teachings of religion are
clearly contrsdicted and the Catholic Church
grossly insulted.
The infidel notions of some of the articles
are spoken of in the Catholic World for April,
1877, under the heading of " Presbyterian In
idelity in Scotland"
In the volume that l saw, the article on
Abraham ignores all that is supernatural in
the life of that Patriarch, and assumes that
there are contradictions and falsehoods in the
sacred writings concerning him.
The article on 4 Beckett, while in some re.
spects it treats ST. Thomas A-Becket more
fairly than the most of non Catholic articles
do yet insults the English Catholics of his
day with a nonsensical charge of generating
st. Thomas more highly tt an the Blessed Yir-
gin, and the Blessed Virgin more highly than
God.
Perhaps this notice may help the publishers
as an advertisement; but without regard to
them, write for the benefit of your readers,
that they may not receive the book under a
false impression. N.

At Last.

Itseems that the day, and even the hour
is fixed at last when Louisiana ia to be
restored to the Union as one of the sov-
ereign States. The fight for it has been
so bitter, the delay 30 ruinous, the impede
ments SO discouraging, that now, in the
moment of assured success, there is hardly
life enough left in our people to rejoice.
The patient just released from the grip
of q fever that had sustained him with it's
fictitious strength, feels for the first time
his real prostration the sbip-wrecked
sailor rescued from starvation, as he sinks
half fainting on the friendly deck, wonders
how he was but a few moments before able
to sit grimly up to his oar.
They say we are out of the woods.

REFRESHING Free Speech.

One Of the strongest passages 10 the grea
papal allocution, published in our column
last Sunday, is that in reference to the pro
posed Italian law by which the teachings o
the clergy will be placed under police con
troll. Under this law of Clerical Abuses the
disturbing of the public conscience or the
peace of families by bishops and priests is
made criminal offence. Thus it is pro-
vided that any teaching, oral OF written, by
which the faithful shall be warned that any
decree, law or act of the government is
against the law of God, will be punishable
by the civil tribunals.
Christ said to his Church "Go, teach
all nations" Victor Emmanuel adds
"Except Italy" On the contrary, the
clergy are, in that country, to be required
to preach the gospel of Parliament, not of
Christ. Not word is to be allowed in
favor of the Gospel of Christ, wherein it
may differ from the laws of the land. "I,'
says the civil power, ~ am master here.
God must subject his pretentions to the
judgment of the tribunals, and if he does
not like the result, do not see how he can
help himself. l have the army and the
treasury"
The Bishops and priests are clearly told
that their teachings by virtue of the COM
mission given them as ministers of God
must be subject to revision by lay tribu
nails. The Courts, not the Church, must be
judge of what is public conscience, though
it is difficult to say whence the State got
that spiritual jurisdiction in order to give
it to the courts. 1t is plain that such regu-
lation includes within itself the power to
destroy the Church absolutely. 1t IS vir-
tually her destruction. Her authority is no
longer divine, bat derived from the State;
her doctrine is whatever the State shall
choose to sanction.
This is manifestly a declaration of war
upon the Christian religion. 1t is a refusal
to recognize the authority and dominion of
the Church in spiritual matters-the right
to teach. 1t is, therefore, o persecution,
and it's success would be as completely the
of the Church as though it's
mem bers had all been put to the sword.
We do not say that government must
decide which is the true religion and
which are false religions. But we do cay
that it has no right per 30 to revise the
belief or teaching of any man ex
cept in 30 far as it may be contrary to the
law of nature. And even in doing that it
must take the risk of opposing Gods au-
thority if it make a mistake.
