LONDON, Aug. 2l.-A dispatch from Rome
says. -,.-,-
il1p Vatican that the forthcoming encyclical
of the Pope will treat Of tho political duties Of
Catholics throughout the world, IN view OF
The threatened disorgan5ation Of society, by
combinations Of secret revolutionary assoola-
lions, and the propagation Of theories de- ..te
str,ldtiye of the rights of property, OF the
It1arriaue relation and good order and peace.
It IL said that in n recent conversation bis
Holiness foreehadowed the substance OF the
ssrlcyelieal, and will insist upon the duties, OF
PROPERTY as well as Its rights, and traced the
present unhappy relations between caplta,l
and labor to the abandonment OF Cathollc
principles, and pointing out how return TO
fhesp principles can alone restore harmony
and prevent revolution and anarchy. :,
It ID also believed that he will urge Catho,c
aitizei,s everywhere, and even In Italy, to be

ties, and 10 meet boldly the responsibilities

A Sailors suggestion.
TConrier-,JOurnal.l

An old sailor yesterday suggested to a re-
porter Of the Courier-J0mrnal preventive of
yellow fever, which, he said, at one time
proved infallible during an epidemic Of the
most virulent and fatal kind. Three vessels,
representing three nations, some years ago,
were sailing around the coast of Africa. Upon
two of the vessels the crews were nearly eX-
terminated. On the other, which was a French
ship, there was not case Of sickness Upon
inquiry, the officers of the plague-stricken
vessels ascertained that the commander OF
the French vessel administered to his men
every morning before breakfast, a drink OF
whisky OF brandy containing a half teaspoon
full of white mustard seed. This was the only
medicine used and the crew was healthy.

The Tabor Comm. ttes-s0nae Queer Views
Brought aJut.

NUw YouK, Aug. 2t.-The Congressional
Labor ComIni ittee resumed its session tO-day
in the Postof1iGs building. The first witness
was w. Goodwin Moody, Of Boston, q printer,
but at present out Of business. He could not
discover that there was any conflict In theory
between capital and labor, but found that
there was artificial conflict between them,
growing out OF 81 misconception Of the rela-
tions between them by both parties. The I'M
proper use OF machinery, he thought, was
throwing quite one-haf OF our muscular
force into idlenees. He did not believe that
there WAS too much machinery in existence.
He would run machinery Rs he would run
muscle as they were forces Of production.
Machinery should be run in proportion to
idle muscle, and he would reduce hours in
using both machinery and muscular force:
Witness was questioned up to this point,
and All endeavor made to elicit from him some
method by which this unemployed labor
could be used without the capitalist losing all
his profits. but without success.
Herbert Radcli1, Of Boston, was the next
witness, who said he was unfortunately q
! journalist. He proceeded TO read from an i'm
menge roll Of foolscan his opinions concern
| ing the causes Of business depression In the
country and suggesting remedies, the man
ones being an equal division Of taxes and a
| change of the tariff laws.
William &. Smart, q stOne-cutter OF Boston
was the next witness. After reviewing. the
present condition Of labor in the Eastern
| States, witness, in answer to Mr.. Hewitt, ad-
vOcated the consolidation OF property In the
hands Of the government. He thought by
| that means we would be enabled to do away
| with mddlemen and concentrate all monOp-
| olies under one head. Witness defined capi.
| tai as wealth used for the development Of all
| industry.
Mr. Hewitt said that the committee were
much obliged to Mr.. Smart for coming all the
| way from Boston, and he was sorry that they
could not give him more than their thanks.
The committee then adjourned until to-
morrow
