THE following is the full text OF
the circular addressed by the holy
see to the Irish bishops:
whatever may be the case as re-
CARDS Mr. Parnell himself and his OBJ
iects. it is at all events proved that
MANY of his followers have on many
occasions adopted line OF conduct in
open contradiction to the rules laid
down by the supreme pontitf In his
letter to the cardinal archbishop OF
Dublin. and contained in the instruc-
tions sent to the Irish bishops by this
sacred congregation, and unanl-
mously accepted by them at
their recent meeting at Dublin.
1t is true that, accord
ing to those instructions, it is lawful
for the Irish to seek redress for their
grievances and to strive for their
Fights: but always at the same time
observing the Divine maxim to seek
first the Kingdom of God and His JUS
tice, and remembering also that 1t is
wicked to further any cause, no mat
ter how just, byIillegal means.
1T is, therefore, the duty OF all the
clergy, and especially of the bishops,
to curb the excited feelings OF the
multitude and to take every. oppor-
tunity, with timely eXhortatlons, TO
recall them to the justice and mod
Grafton WHICH are necessary In all
things, that so they may not be led
away by greed Of gain to
mistake evil for good or TO
place their hopes of public prosperity
in the shape of criminal acts. Hence
it follows that it is not permitted to
any of the clergy to depart from these
rules themselves or to take part In or
in any way promote movements IN
consistent with prudence and with
the duty of calming mems minds. 1t
is certainly not forbidden to collect
for the relief of distress in Ireland;
but at the same time the aforesaid
apostolic mandates absolutely con-
denim such collections as are raised IN
order to infiame popular passions and
to be used as the means for leading
men into rebellion against the laws.
Above all things, they, the clergy,
must hold themselves aloof from
such subscriptions when it is plain
that hatred and dissensions are
aroused by them, that dlstln-
guised persons are loaded with In
suits, that never in any way are cen
sures pronounced against the crimes
and murders with which wicked men
stain themselves. and especially when
it IS asserted that the measure OF true
patriotism is in proportion to the
amount of money given or refused
so as to bring the people under the
pressure of intimidation.
I" In these circumstances, 1T must be
evident to your lordship that the col
lection called the 'Parnell Testimonial
Fnnd cannot be approved by this
sacred Congregation. and eonse--
quently it cannot be tolerated that
any ecclesiastic, much less a bishop,
should take any part whatever IN
recommending or promoting IT..
Meanwhile, we pray God long to pre-
serve your lordship."
The thought must have occurred
to some hundreds of thousands OF
Protestants within the last fortnight
that, if the pope is unable to coerce
Roman Catholics in a matter connect
ed with Irish politics. the fear that he
may compel the Catholics in the Uni
ted States to take political attitude
hostile and destructiYe to american
institutions, is doubtless groundless

namely; the saving of vessel property

No more significant fact touching
the future destiny of Ireland has APP
peared in long while than that
pointed out by recent writer touch
ing the comparative population OF
Ireland now and a little over fifty
years ago. at the beginning of this
century Ireland held about one-third
of the population of the United King
dom. Now its population is only one
seventh. In every material particu-
lar Ireland was better able to cope
with England fifty years
ago than she is to-day
It would seem, in fact, that the sub
tie policy of England, which is to-
day expressing itself in the urgency
with which she is aiding Irish immi-
grafton to the United States is only a
part of very old policy to secure the
Emerald Isle for English landlords.
Under ordinary circumstances it is a
good thing to aid immigrants in find
ing better homes for themselves, but
If the design of England in doing this
is to depopulate Ireland and procure
the country for her own landlords, it
is high time that the spirit of modern
civilization protested against so heart
less proposition.

alton for the presidential contest next
year. The Norfolk district was one
of two which were Republican before
the advent of Malone. Last fall it
was carried by the coalition by de-
cisive majority, in spite of a large
straight Republican detection. The
Democrats have now carried nearly
all the counties. In Norfolk county
itself, where Malone made his fight
by means of assessments on the
local office-holders, he has met
with a decisive defeat.
Other sections heretofore Republican
show the same general indications. 1t
appears probable that not only have
many of the Democratic Readjsuters
retured to their old allegiance, but
that Republicans have begun to chafe
under an alliance which uses them as
cats paw. The change, says the
Philadelphia Times, ought to be
pretty loud hint to President Arthur
The alliance was born in wickednes'

witnessed such violations are
generally themselves tranSgreSsors
of the same laws, an 6
who will not become voluntary wit
neSSeS, and when summoned before
the grand jury avoid as far as possible
giving anything that will convict
their friends and associates. Indeed
MANY of the witnesses alluded to
have so entirely forgotten the names
of persons whom they have seen gam
ing nearly every day, and are so ig-
norant of all other facts in connection
with gaming as to leave a positive
conviction on the mind of every juror
that such witnesses have perjured
themselves, and are therefore
unworthy of belief in regard
to information which they
may accidentally have given.
Hence, comparatively only a few of
the many violators of the gaming
laws can be indicted, and the investi-
cation by the grand jury does not
produce the desired result. There
fore we are forced to the conclusion
that preSentment by the grand jury
is not efficient means for the sup
preston and prosecution of the vice
of gaming, but that far better and
the most efficient method will be
formed in full and conscientious
discharge of duty On the part of coun-
ty and municipal officers, supported by
the active moral sentiment of
the community.
While we question the justice and
the policy of law that allows gam
ing in one place and Furnishes it in
another, and while we doubt whether
gaming can be entirely sup
pressed until the law shall
make it felony, yet
we believe that to whatever extent
the present gaming laws are adequate
for the suppression of this vice, that
extent can be reached only by Wig
orouS execution of the law by the
police and peace officers of the county
and city. We therefore respectfully
request your honor to instruct the
sheriff definitely. so that he cannot
fail to understand the full power and
duty of himself and his deputies in
this matter. We also ask that your
honor cause the Hon. w. A. Saylor,
mayor of Austin, to be informed that
the grand jury make like request to
him in regard to the marshal and
police officers of the city.
Respectfully subm tied.

New YORK, May 31.-The Univer-
sal comment this morning respecting
the bridge horror is that the same az
cident is liable to happen at any time,
no matter what police restrictions
may be, unless the steps are abolished
or at least divided for the two sire ms
of pedestrians. Superintendent of the
bridge Martin makes the Following
frank statement; ut is certainly no
safe place, for such crowds as pass
over tle bridge. 1t was not intended
to accommodate any such travel as it
is having. AS to the steps, it had
been decided to put railing up and
down the middle. to divide the people
going one way from those going the
other. The railing wauld have been
crowded up some way beyond the top
of the steps. OF course we should
carry 1t probably hundred feet along
This was one of the alterations we
had already determined upon, and it
is to be made at once. Then we are
going to place the SIDE ratings on the
steps a little further back. Some
space is now lost by them. Then
further back, between the cables, we
can widen the passage by placing the
ratings further apart and against the
cables, and this is to be done"

build what is calledIa ramp-an in

to point further down
the bridge, but there would
be the same danger in making the
grade any sleeper, especially in wet
or icy weather" To the supeFinten=
dents statement may be added that
the fact is now obvious that during
these hours of the day when transit
is most live, and on holidays and Sun
days, there will always be great dan
ger of a heavy crush similar to yes

The federal appropriations for the
coming fiscal year amounts to $780,
Sil,566. This does not include any
appropriations for the postal service,
the revenue of that department being
deemed sufficient to meet the expendi-

about S55. 100000 to meet deficiencies
in postal service. There was no APP
