THE circular addressed by the Pope to the
Irish bishops, despatched on the 18th in.
stsnt disspproves the Parnell fund. The
Pope says in substance that while it is law
full for the Irish to seek redress for their
grievances and to strive for their rights,
they should at the same time seek Gods
Justice, and remember the .wickedness Of
illegal means for furthering even a just
cause. The duty of the clergy is to curb
the excited feelings Of the people, and to
urge justice and moderation. The clergy
are not permitted to depart from these rules,
aud join and promote movements incon-
sistent with them. Collections to relieve
distress are permitted. Subscriptions to in
flame popular passions are condemned.
The clergy must hold aloof when it is plain
that by such movements, hatred and dissen-
sions are aroused, distinguished persons are
insulted, and crimes and murders are I'M
censured. Patriotism is measured by the
amount subscribed, and the people are
thereby intimidated. Therefore, tine Par
nell fund is disapproved, and no clergyman
should recommend or promote it.
The criminal folly which impels the pri-
vate citizen to carry firearms or to keep such
weapons in his house is the frequent cause of
