WE are glad to see it stated that the
difficulty between Gen. Writ Adams and
Mr.. j. E. Sweatman at Mississippi City,
has been amicably adjusted. As it was
wholly unprecedented and resulted from
a mutual misunderstanding between hon
orable and law-abiding men and came
nigh sacrificing the lives of both, and has
already resulted in no little expense and
distress to their famiIies--we trust that
this will be the last of the affair. Under
the circumstances no good, but much
unnecessary agitation and ill-will now
suppressed, would be stirred up by taking
it into the courts.

The Pone,s Latest Letter.

The OsserUntore Romano publishes a long
and important letter addressed by Leo XIII
to the Cardinal-Vicar on the subject OF reli-
gious instruction. The Pope says that the
happiness he has felt at the many mantfesta-
tions of reverence and affection received from
all parts of the world since the commencement
Of his pontihcate has been ernbittered by the
general condition OF the Church, subjected on
all sides to violent persecution, and especially
by what is occurring In Rome Itself. An ullbri-
died press fights again the faith, Protestant
temples and schools spring up on all sides to
create generation antagonistic to the Church,
and, as II all this does not suffice, the munich
pality has forbidden religious teaching in
schools, TINS removing the barriers against
the influx of heresy and opening the way for
q new kind of foreign invasion.
In these circumstances the Pope, charging
on the necessity Of religious instruction.
urges how incumbent it is upon the Cardinal
Vicar and clergy to strive for the religious
education Of the young, to increase the NUM-
Der OF oratories and schools, to call in the aic
of Virtuous and charitable Iaymen, and td
make every possible effort In order that 10
this holy city the light of the Catholic faith
which heretical sects would seek to extin
guish, may be preserved.
