THE POPE's LETTER

Special Dispatch to ruH BE.
ROME, May 15-The Pope, In a
circular to Irish bishops. says: What.
ever Parnell's object may be, his fol.
lowers have often adopted a course
openly against the rules of the Pope's
letter to Cardinal MeGsbe, and the
instructions sent to blshops, which
were accepted ut their meeting In
Dublin. While it is lawful for the
Irish to seek redress for their
grievances and strive for their rights,
they should, at the same time seek
Gods justice and remember that
wickedness and illegal means will not
further even a just cause. 1t is the
duty of the clergy to curb the excited
feelings of the people and urge Justice
and moderation. The clergy are not
permitted to depart from these
rules and join and promote
movements inconsistent with
them. Collections to relieve
distress are permitted, but subaorip.
tion to inlame popular passion are
condemned. The clergy must hold
aloof, when 1t Is plain that by such
movements hatred and dissens,on are
aroused or distinguished persons are
insulted, and when crimes and muir.
ders go uncensured and when patriot.
Ism is measured by the amount sub.
scribed, for the people are thereby In.
Inundated. Therefore the Parnell
fund Is disapproved and no clergy.
man should recommend subscriptions
thereto or promote it.
1t Is stated Archbishop Croke on
hts return to Ireland will visit Cardinal
McCabe, and the latter will come here
to confer with the pope as soon as his
health will permit him to undertake
the journey.
