TIRE POPE'S ENC YCElCAL.

The encz clical letter of His Holiness, Pope
Leo XIII, published in full in the GLOBE of
yesterday, is a document Of great interest,
not only to the Catholic world, but to all
scots and all governments in every part of
the world. It is an assault upon the great
heresies of the day--socialism, communism
and nihilism-the agencies whose aim it is
to overthrow all religion and all forms OF
government and inaugurete a reign of an
archy and license. However much portion
of the public may disagree with the pope as
to the cause and cure of these evils-for
evils they mnst be regarded by every right
thinking man-all must approve of the
effort of the supreme pontif to obliterate
them by the means at his command, al
though those means may be but partially
successful.
These three disorganizing elements threat
en- the gravest disaster to civil government,
and it is gratifying that the head of the Ro-
man Catholic church, possessing worldwide
authority and influence, has taken so decided
stand in opposition to them. His words
will no doubt deter those who owe him a
spiritual allegiance from giving such per-
nicious doctrines any encouragement or sup
port, and to this extent the encyclical will
be powerful for good.
It is not our province to decide whether
the pontiff is right or wrong in his claim
that the growth of these political and social
heresies is result of an abandonment of

PACIFIC RAILROAD GRATUITfES.

A number of years ago, just about the
time that Cakes Ames and his compatriots
Matched the. infamous Credit Mobilier
scheme; Congress was importuned to guar
Pacific railroad companies. On assurances
being given that the guarantee was simply a
matter of form-that the government would
never be called upon to pay dollar of
either the principal or interest of the bonds
Congress assented to the proposition. By
what means this assent was procured is we'll
known. It was fully developed in the Credit
Mobilier investigation, which led to
the retirement of so many
distinguished patriots. How the promises
were redeemed has been developed
by the fact that ever since their issue the
government has been obliged to pay the in
terest on the bonds. This interest has now
amounted, according to the January state
ment of the public debt, to $41, 763, 745. OF
this amount the railroads have repaid, by the
transportation of mails and government
supplies, $10,657,02S, leaving a balance of
interest paid by the United States amounting
to $31,116,716. These figures speak for
themselves They show that the people have
been compelled to pay substantially all2the
interest that has accumulated, which now
reaches to within $23,00o,ooo of the prin-

the Catholic faith, and, that their cure can
only be effected by return to allegiance to
the church of which he is the head. These
are subjects upon which there can be an
honest difference of opinion. There is, how
ever, strong hope that the Roman church
will prove an effective barrier against the
spread of this social epidemic in many parts
OF the world. So far as it shall prove sue
cessful it has our best wishes. But a duty
rests upon other scots and other govern
ments. Not only are communism and its
allies striking blow at religion, but
they are making an assault upon all
civil and social systems which threatens to
reduce us to the original state of chaos.
There ought to be union of all who fear
such result to the end that the progress of
the tide may be stayed. Catholic and Prot
estant, jew and infidel, ought to unite on
the one platform. The monarchies and the
republics of the world are alike menaced
with destruction, and the impulse of self
preservation ought to unite them with the
religious elements to check the progress of
ideas that will be fatal, If successful, to all
order and authority. The question, to our
mind, is not one in which any particular
creed OR political party is solely interested;
it is one in which every individual every
church and every state has deep concern.
The timely words of the pope may have the
effect of attracting a wide attention to the
subject, of awakening the public every
where to realizing sense of the danger that
menaces religion, society and civil govern
ment, and lead to union of all forces for
the suppression of the giant evil.

way. If the payment of one man 8 tax in fifty
were omitted (one-fftieth part). $4,000 Of
their money could be privately withdrawn from
the public fund each year, and tax payers must
make it up by future assessments; if only one
in hundred were thus omitted, 500, GOO could
be carried away.
These are matters for serious consideration
by your committee and by both branches of
the State legislature. And such system of
accounts should be adopted and used as would
tend to obviate those defects or make them ap-
parent. The interest of tax payers impera-
lively demand reform in financial depart
ments.
The use of the system proposed would not
necessarily incur any additional expense. When
books in use are filled up, the new get as stated
could be procured at the same cost, or proba-
bly, less, as there would be less number of
them consequently there would be cor
responding reduction in the clerical labors of
keeping them, accounts and other branches Of
the business would be much more satisfactory
and complete.
