Attitude of the Government


ROME, August 20.-The Official Gazette
saws: As the artificial agitation against
the law for papal guarantees continues,
the government DEGREES it expedient to
make frank statement OF its views to
dissipate illusions and uncertainty;
The government respects the right OF
public meetings and petitions, but con-
slders that it has the right to interfere
with meetings which degenerate into
illegal proceedings and jeopordize public
order and international relations. The
government is firmly resolved to fully
and effectively protect the Pope's secur.
ity and the independence Of hissPiritual
sovereignty, while at the same time re-
sisting all encroachments on the unity
and sovereignty Of the nation. The
government disapproves and depleres
the recent meetings because they were
prejudicial to the country's supreme In
terests.

The Coming Election Instructions From
Rome to Support the Government.


LONDON, August 2O.-A Berlin CORES
pondent says: 1t is said that the Ul.
tramontane leaders lately received
instructions from Rome to support the
government as much as possible, par.
ticularly on its financial policy. The
Catholic journals are consequently be-
ginning to recommend the leaders to
support the Conservatives in the dis
tricts where the Ultramontanes have
but little chance. 1t appears from the
quiet preparations the Socialists have
been making that they, although unlike
ly to return more than six members to
the Reichstag, will muster sufficient
strength to necessitate q number Of sec.
ond ballots. The band, failing to elect
their own candidates, will be more dis
posed to support the Conservatives than
the Liberals, as the former are willing
to vote for Bismarck's semi.socialist
ideas.

upon assuming the Presidential duties
The matter is a delicate one, and the
course of the Vice President since the
shooting OF President Garfield has been
of character to warrant that he would
take no part in the contemplation ol
such a plan, unless first endorsed by
the members of the present cabinet.
