,Imns OF tho Asse,TGtOra Romano IL argues In
favor OF the removal Of tho rite OF marriage
from all civil jurisdiction whatsoever. IL traces
tho history OF marriage from patIiarchal TO
Catholic times. and declares that Christ elevated
It to u sacrament. which only his church can
administer. Tho attempt made under various
nuises by tho modern spirit OF irregulasion to
rob the Church Of her right either to bind or
loose the marriage tle must be resisted by the
whole Catholic world. His holiness indicator
conditions whereuDder u separation OF huebnnd
aud wife may be- sanctioned by tho Church. and
concludes with an exbortaton to the universal
episcopaey to communicate his tench Ing to the
faithful for their welfare IN both worlds.
Tho Italian Parliament was opened to- day.
Tho address from tho throne trents almost OK
c'usively Of internal affairs. IL recommends
tho abolition of the Rrst tax and the adoption
Of the electoral reform bills. In regard to for
eiRn affairs the speech says thnt Italy needs
peace and 1t is therefore easy for her to sup
por, the obser vance OF the treaty OF Berlin and
remain faithful to her promise to be Nh olement
Of progress and civilization In Europe.
