prepared to make peace. Doubtless
these are such as he can honorably
accept. A dispatch from Lahore
states there are strong rumors that
| Yakoob Khan is quite disposed to make
friendly arrangements.
+ The HeraMs correspondent at fash
kenk, Iurkeston, telegraphs as follows
AN important step has been taken by
Russia. General Kaufman has forward
ed an invitation to Shere Ali to co ne On
to Tashkend. This letter of the Gov.
ernor General Of Turkeston can not
reach the Ameer before the 18th, and
the latter can not be expected
here earlier than the 9Th of Feb
ruary. There is some doubt whether
he is still waiting at Mazari Shurif. The
ameer is preceded by nine elephants
and 1000 horses, carrying his women,
treasure and baggage. Shere Ali re-
ceives daily reports from his son
and representative on the throne,
Yakoob Khan. On this young act
ing potentate, if reports from credi-
bic sources speak truly, English
gold is beginning to exercise good in
fiuence. 1t is probable that Yakoob
klan will soon usurp his fathers throne,
thus verifying the widest Arabian tales
of sudden transition from dungeon to
durbar. In letter to the English gen
erals on quitting Cabul, the aneer
stated that he had only left in the keep
ing Of YakoOb Khan about 5000.
The pope's ehcyclicai occupies seven
columns of the Orservatore Romano. The
pope inveighs against socia ism, COM
munism, and nihilism, which initiate
no longer secretly, but, openly-against
the civil state, rupturing the patrimonal
tie, ignoring the rights of property
claiming everything, however legally
inherited or honestly acquired, and at
tempting even the lives of kings These
sinister agencies spring from the refor-
nation, which opened the sluice-gates
of skepticism till goddess governments
have arisen, wherein the author and
redeemer Of the world is ignored.
Youth are trained to believe mans des-
TIMES are bounded by the present, and
without any hereafter, and hence the
impatient and aggressive spirit which
seeks its qualification at others expense.
Thus the natural development of the
reformation was indicated by previous
pontitf5 from Clement XII. to Plus *.
in their alIocutions and encyclicals; but
the church's warning is more than ever
required. Equality desiderate by the
sects is contrary to Scripture. There
are distinctions between angels in
heaven; .tortiori, there must be distinc-
tons between men upon earth. When
tyranny prevails, when the church
shields the oppressed, when the tyrant
is too strong, she enjoins resignation.
The Pope justities marriage and sub
servience of woman to man, of child to
parent, and Of servant to master. Such
interdependence rightly observed, in the
state as in the family, would operate on
earth as it does in heaven. Poverty, of
which socialism is impatient, is correct
ed by the church, which besides her own
charities, enjoins almseiving On the rich
to whom she thus reconciles the poor
Such is the solution Of the evils for
which socialism seeks a revolutionary
remedy. Let, therefore, all principali-
ties and powers accept the church, the
safeguard Of earthly and surety of
heavenly things. The ItaHe regards the
encyclical as an appeal to all Catholics
to organize crusade against modern
institutions. and, with that object, to
participate in political elections.
