THE HOLY SEE.
Priuce Bismarck Gives His Views
to the QuIrinal.

PARIS, January 7.-La Defense publishes
a telegram to-day from Rome saying that
Prince Bismarck has sent a courteous but
very explicit note to the Quirinal, in which
he states that, in his opinion, the Pope's
independence can not be regarded as ques-
tion for Italian home politics, but should be
held as an international question. The note
declares the intention on the part Of
Prince Bismarck to promote meeting Of
a congress of the powers for the purpose
Of making the guarantees Of the independ
ence of the Holy See stronger and more eff
fectual than they are at present. The tele-
gram adds: Russia, Austria, Germany,
England and Spain favor the holding of a
congress as early as possible. France has
not yet enunciated her views on the sub
ject." La Defense says: "All the arrange
ments are complete for the departure of the
Pope for Malta, in case he deems it impos
sible for him to remain in Rome"

BERLIN, January 7.-There is much dis
appointment among the Clericsls at the
decision of the government to introduce no
more comprehensive measures than the July
bill. The Clerical leaders in the Diet are
preparing a series Of amendments which, If
adopted, will practically have the effect of
repeating the May laws. The Conservatives
regard the forthcoming ecclesiastical bill as
purely temporary, to be followed by a
revision OF the Falk laws as~soon as negOtia-
tions with the Vatican are concluded. 1t is
only on this assumption that the Conserva-
tives have agreed to support the bill.

I have been writing my thoughts in prose, verse, history, philosophy, drama, TO- nance, tradition, satire, ode, song - I have tried all. But I feel that have not said the thousandth part of what is in me.
 When I go down to the grave can say,
 like so many others, ''I have finished my days work; but can not say, I have fin
 ished my life." My days work will begin again the next morning. The tomb is not blind alley; it is thoroughfare. It closes in the twilight to open with the dawn, I improve every hour because love th1s world as my fatherland, because the truth compels me as it compelled Voltaire, that human divinity. My work is only beginning. My monument is hardly above it's foundation. would be glad to see it mounting and mounting forever. The thirst for the infinite proves infnity.

The Irrepressible Conflict.

The action of the Pacific mills at Lowell Mass, reducing wages in the worsteo department was followed yesterday by the announcement of reduction in the pay oi mule and ring spinners, to take effect Monday, the former, who get $11 50 week, losing an average of S1 25 to $1 50 week, and the latter, who are women and girls, getting go cents day, being reduced to 85 cents. This on cotton spinning. After the notices were posted the ring spinners become greatly excited, and in the forenoon held frequent consultations. On returning from dinner each refused to start her frame, and a committee waited on the overseer, who told them to work until Monday, and meanwhile he would do his utmost toward resembling the order. They refused to listen to the proposition, and 12O women and girls left the mill in a body, causing the stoppage of GA, GOO spin dles. Superintendent Parker says that if the strikers return to work to-day they will be retained at tie new schedule, but if the strike is persisted in their places will be filed at once.
 Thus it goes plenty of wage-slaves always in reserve outside to act as a men, ace on those within and when their condi- tion becomes intolerable, to relieve them.

RecantatiOn.

We hereby feel called upon to do public penance in the expr ession of unfeigned regret for any and all unkind words or allusions in the columns of this paper re- fecting on the political honor, honesty or otherwise of the members of our present Connecticut legislature, and humbly beg pardon for the same.
 We have been thus led to the stool of repentance on account of information re- gently vouchsafed from a worthy member of that Honorable body, to the effect that were it not for our many severe lnsinua- tions against the political integrity of the leaders of the aforesaid, in relation to the bill for secret ballot, said bill would have received much more favorable con- sideration.
 We again beg pardon of Honorable gen. tlemen but also beg to offer in extenua- tion of our unwarrantable conduct the plea of gross ignorance and profound stupidity, having not the slightest concep- tion as to the manner in which that hon. orable body could be most properly and successfully approached, being wholly unskilled in the diplomatic decorum of professional political intercession, (we shall not say lobbying, having no purse,) and we are fully impressed with the emi- nent propriety of their refusal and merited rebuke.
 But, honorable masters and gentlemen, may we be permitted to prostrate ourselves at your honorable feet, begging for the permission of asking a few humble ques- tion as follows. Do you honestly avow and believe that the ''unwarrantable" in- situations or other expressions of the Ec- om1iner, warranted and justified you in denying to the people of Connecticut, in whose service yow ought to De, system of election whereby free, fair and untram- melIed expression of the popular will could be obtained. And again, in view of your action may not very many simple minded people be led to suspect that the Econaigaer after all, was in possession of your complete measurement beforehand, and was really in position from which to pronounce judgment in advance?
