THE DOMINION.
Tradas-unionists to he Exec

Trades Unionists to be accommodated.
QUEBEC, May 18.-Archbishop Taschreau
has issued pastoral condemning trades unions
a mans labor is his own, and that he is at lib
erty to sell it at whatever price he pleases. He
has the same control over his labor that a man
has over his own farm. Therefore labor unions
sin grievously against justice whenever they
attempt to force men to join these unions, or
to work for the price fixed by these unions.
We warn Catholics not to be in any manner
partners in any attempt to force others, by vio-
lence or otherwise, to enter these unions, or to
work at the prices fixed by these societies.
Any Catholic who shall attack, or conspire to
attack, any person, because such persons work,
has worked, or is willing to work, at price
which he thinks fit, shall be communicated .
The dissolution from this sin and excommuni-
cation are hereby reserved to us and our Wears
general

Death of Ex-senator Foote.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. May 19.-Ex-Gov. Henry
S. Foote, Superintendent of the U. S. mint at
New Orleans, died today.
Henry S. Foote has been conspicuous in
politics in his day, and is representative
Southerner of a past generation. He was
nearly eighty. having been born in Farquier
county, Va, Sept. 20, 1900. After he had been
graduated at Washington College, Lexington,
he studied law, and removed to Alabama, set
Ting at Tuscumbia, Where he resided three
years, practicing his profession and editing a
Democratic newspaper. He next went to
jackson, Miss, where he was elected to the
United States Senate in 1S47, and was placed,
the year following, at the head of the Commit
tee on Foreign Relations. In 1850 he warmly
advocated the so-called compromise measures
He became, next year, the candidate of the
Union party for Governor of Mississippi, and,
after close and exciting contest was elected
over his competitor, Jefferson Davis. Resign
ing his seat in the Senate, he entered upon his
gubernatorial duties, and at the close of his
term removed to California. He. supported
Willard Fillmore for President on the native
American ticket t1S56) and going back to Mis-
sissippi in 1858, took up his residence in
Vicksburg. He subsequently attended the
Southern convention at Knoxville, Tenn, and
spoke withisuch vehemence against disunion
as to draw attention throughout the country
He had attracted more notice by the fact of
his fervid opposition to disunion than by any
thing contained in his efforts; and yet when
the rebellion had broken out, he was on the
side of the South, and was a member of the
Confederate Congress while it lasted Very
irascible and quick to take offence, he has been
involved in any number o. quarrels, and has
taken part in several duels; one with Win
ston of Alabama, another with Sargent S,
Prentiss, and third with J. F. H. Claiborne,
both of Mississippi. A strict believer in the
code, he has been ready to fight at any time ON
punctilio, thus proving his sincerity and
courage; for he has been, from youth up, so
poor shot that there has never been the
least danger of his hitting anybody or any
thing that he aimed at
