Few people not personally acquainted

two or two hundred and iifty miles,
and northwest for three hundred and

immense expanse Texas has region of
country bonudless alike in extent, in
resources and utterly Iimitless in the
glorious possibilities gradually opening
up and unfolding themselves from day
to day. A land indeed, literally flows

which blow over it ladened with the
glorious perfumes Of "Araby the blest,"

which are characteristic of either are

THE POPE'S ENCYCLICAL.
Why Leo NTII Demands the Re-establIsh-
ment Of the Church. CIvII Power.

LONDON, April 26.-Thc passage in the
Popes encycical the issue Of which was an
uounccd yesterday. regarding the civil powcr Of
the Church. is ms follows Tho hopes OF Italy
and the world rest on the benelicent Influences
OF the Holy See. and on the intimate reunion
Of all the faithful with the Roman Pontin. 1t
therefore stands to reason that we should with
all diligence do all in our power to preserve in
tact the dignity Of the Roman Cdthe'b'd in order,
before all things, to guard the rights and lib
critics Of the Holy See We shall never cease TO
insist that our authority be respected, that our
ministry and our power be left fully free and
independent and that the position be- restored
to us in which divine wisdom long ago placed
Us II is no vain desire of dominion which moves
us to demand the establishment Of our civil
uower. We demand II. because our duties and
our solemn oaths exact II. and because II il not
only necessary 10 conserve fully the liberty OF
the spiritual power but also because it is ev ,
dent that when ii is a question OF the temporal
domain Of the Apostolic See II involves the
well being and safety OF the whole human fam
ily."
The Pope distinctly endorses the policy and
acts Of his Pre- ie@"ssOr, condemns civil mar
riages and drplores rejection Of the authority
Of the Church. prOcaiming that to be the cause
Of all existing evils, but in language devoid
throughout Of any tone OF offence or violence.
The encyclical contains no attn,k whatever
upon the civil government OF Italy, nor any
mention, direct or indirect OF the House oil
