The Pope's encyclicsl, brief abstract OF
which is telegraphsd from Rome, de-
nounces Socialism, Communism and Mill
ism as initiating openly against the civil
state, rupturing the matrimonial tie, ig-
noring the rights Of property, claiming
every thing, however legally inherited or
honestly acquired, and attempting even the
lives Of kings. The equality desired by
these sects il declared contrary to Scrip
lures. There are distinctions between
angels in heaven, .fortiori must
there be distinctions between men upon
earth. Poverty, Of which Socialism Is inn
patient, is corrected by the Church, which,
besides her own charities, enjoins aims CIV
ing on the rich, to whom she thus reconciles
the poor. Such Is the solution OF the eyils
for which Socialism seeks revolutionary
remedy. Let, therefore, all principalities
and powers accept the Church-the safe
guard Of earthly and surety Of heavenly
things.
