Pope Leo's New EncyclicaI.

new Il Yk Herald
A brief outline OF the leading feetu of
the encyclical letter which Pope Leo XIII.
has addressed to the patriarchs. primates,
archbishops and bishops of the Catholic
world has already been given 10 the COL
umns Of the Herald. and this morning we
publish the whole of the remarkable docu-
ment, wherin His Holiness gives bis dec
laration on the subject of Christian phios-
ophy. lt Is many years since there has
been sent forth from the Vatican such
lengthy encyclical. 1t a document full
OF deep and earnest thought, and though
addressed particularly to the Catholic
world can be studied with interest and
benefit by Christians of all denominations
In his pronunciamento the able Pontiff
desigGates the place which philosophy
should take in modern science, theology
aud politics. His Holiness demands that
philosophy shall not be subject to the
varying fashions of the day. but that its
principles shall he based on the simplicity
OF the system promulgated by St. Thomas
Aqulnas, "tbe angelic doctor, the 'Iucom-
parable man, who, he says, has been
Justly compared to the SUI, who irradi-
ates the earth by the brilliancy of his
virtues and fills it with the spleDdor Of his
doctrine" philosophy" says His Holt
ness, must be subject to faith, or as
Aristotle puts it, Philosophy must be
the science of sciences and the
arts of arts" Frequently enough, it
must be admitted, that modern philoso-
piers have led their followers into realms
OF vain speculation. and the world at large
will perhaps be quite as much benefited
by lmbibing the simple philosophical faith
OF the venerable Church Father (whose
doctrines have been accepted by the Ecu
menlcal Councils, in which. as His Holt
ness 80 eloquently says, blossoms The
flower of wisdom gathered throughout the
earthly as in seeking for the explanation
of the mysteries of salvation amid the
abstruse writings of theological theorists.
The reverend Pontiff does not condemn
philosophy IN itself; his attack is directed
against the multiplicity of "tottering and
inconsistent" systems, from which has
arisen hesitation and doubt, and from
9ouDt 10 error the distance is but short"

adoption OF the simple doctrines of st,

The Yazoo chickens are coming home to
roost. When the affair was enacted, the
stalwart press seized upon the case eager

wave the ensanguiued garment, The
democratic press condemned the transac-
ton fully; they also condemned the
Kalloch affair. The difference between
the Republican and Democratic press, is
that the former enlarged upon the Yazoo
matter for the sake of party capital, both
Barksdale and Dixon being Democrats;
they either condoned or were silent about
the De Young Kallsch affair because both
parties had been trained in the Republican

They Lie.

There are still some stalwart organs who
are insane enough to insist that congress
failed to provide for marshals and their
deputies, and likewise there are some
bigoted partisan adherents who pursuade
themselves it is so,and go on repeating the
story. The radical editor or speaker, no
matter whom il be, who asserts that con-
gress failed to provide for the :marshals-
is 'liarl" This is about the way to put
it, and the palmer the denial the better.
Congress passed an appropriation bill pro-
viding 100000 for the pay OF marshals
and their deputies and the fraud who
usurps the seat of S. j. Tilden, vetoed the
measure, because the bill forbid the use Of
the money for any other purpose than that
for which il was intended. Hayes wanted
the measure passed in such shape as to
allow the using Of portion or all of the
money for partisan purposes. Congress
was determined that the plundering gang
of supervisors and bummers should not be
paid out Of the public treasury, and tor
that reason congress omitted to pro-
vide for supervisors The blame
for shortage of funds with marshals and
deputies rests with r. B, Hayes, the crea-
ture of returning board thieves and scoun-
drelly manipulators of ballot boxes, and as
then the SAID creature Hayes, is the aek-
nowledged head and front of the Republi-
can party, the said party must shoulder
the responsibility. Hayes owes his official
station to high handed frauds, and it was
because congress refused to provide for
an army of thieves and political bummers
called federal supervisors, that he vetoed
the bill, Simply this and nothing more

ton all must approve. The new encylical
is, in truth, a remarkable document, and
deserves TO be read even by those who
cannot perhaps accept the teachings which
il announces.

JOHN HANNAS, being Blacksmith by

whereby could soften iron at the forge, so that
could work 1t at a better advantage. This induced
me to make many experiments with different SUP
stances which offered the best prospect OF success

them out OF the way, have used everything that

A Live Campaign.

| The following paragraph shows how the
Republican candidate for Governor OF Ohio
is stirring up tile people, and directing his
energies in the present campaign in that
state:
The sort of campaign work Charles Foster
is doing in Ohio and the way the people
| are responding may be understood by the
following account of the way he spent last
Friday and Saturday: On Friday he address,
ed large meeting at Columbus, and took
the train the same day at 1886 for Portsmouth.
On the way he found crowd at Circleville.
to whom he made little speech; several
hundred people at Chllicothe, who insisted
or shaking hands with him; at Waverly a
big crowd with brass band claiming q
speech at Piketon nearly all the Inhabitants,
with drum corps and flags another speech) /;
and at Lucasville another crowd with mar
tlal music and banners, not to be put off
without remarks. He reached Portsmouth
at S:l5, and spoke for an hour to a big out
door meeting before getting supper. At II
he started across country with team aud
drove thirty-two miles, reaching Mineral
Springs at o'clock in the morning. Sleep
Ing only two hours, he went on TO West u
Mon, which place lie reached after hard five
houIs' drive. Without rest or food he was
hurried to the fair grounds to talk for an
hour to large open air convention. The
same evening he drove ten miles to Man
chester, on the Ohio River, where he spoke
until interrupted by the whistle of the steam
boat which was to take him to Cincinnati.
He reached Cincinnati Sunday morning, just
In time to catch the s O'Clock train for CO.
lumbus, where he arrived at !, having been
absent forty five hours and half. during
which time he travelled about $50 miles by
rail, nearly one hundred by river, and sixty
two by carriage across rough country, and
made seven speeches. Few men could stand
much of that sort of campaigning. but Foster
has vigorous constitution, and what is al
most as much value, an even, sunny temper,
which makes light of fatigue and trouble.

PASSING OVER.

At the river crowds are waiting,
Soon the troubled streams to pass,
And the boatmaD, grim and silent,
Takes them each from out the mass,
One by one must cross the river.
Leaving frierd and foe behind.
Some this thought oppresseth ever;
Others to their danger blind,
OF the boatman thinking never
Casting fear from out the mind.
Others still-a brave and noble band
Closely standing side by side,
Hand clasped in hand, they do not fear
To cross the river so wide,
For the Savior kind will greet them
On the dim and distant shore.
With his loving arms around them
They will breast the pillows DER,
Though they pass on earth forever,
They'll soon meet to part no more.
With crown upon each forehead
And harp within each hand
There, where all the streets are golden,
In that bright and blessed land
They shall wander by the fountains
Where the birds forever sing
Where the shadows never darken
All the hopes to which they cling
And around Gods throne they'll gather,
Then with praise shall Heaven ring
When the boatman comes to call us
With which band shall aoe be found?
Shall it be with those who mock ?
They in numbers do abound.
Though free and happy now they seem
They will mourn His call to heed.
Shall it be with those who dread Him
They life OF terror lead.
Like unto these two great classes
Let US never be, plead.
Let us stand with those who wait him.
Wait for death who comes to all
Share alike their joy or sorrow,
Hear and head afflictions call;
Doing well our Masters bidding,
Knowing life is short at best.
Then. when forus the summons are,
Vanish, care! Come, perfect rest!
For time will shadows darken,
Then We'll be forever blest.
