The Pope Denounces Masonry.

Rome Gable: In an encyclical letter Of the
pope, which will be published next week, Leo
XIII. lays special stress upon Freemasonry and
the means to be employed to defend sthc City
of God" against "the City of Satan" The fol-
lowing is resume of the letter: The plan Of
the secret societies is no longer mystery. It
is struggle against the church, and the va
rious popes have very properly excommuni.,
Gated Freemasons. Since $50 years the secret
societies have increased Irightfully grave
peril thus threatens society. The Socialist has
his source Of strength in Masonry. The pa
pacy is placed in an intolerable situation. Ma.
sonry does not avow its real object; it deceives
the innocent ~, by a varnish Of
riage, education, the sovereignty of the poo-
pie, the atheism of the state, radicalism, COM
munism, all tend toward q return of pa anism.
Masonry fatters princes in the hope Of having
them for auxi1iries. Governments should
choose between Masonry and the church, which
sustains authority and inculcat,s obedience
The pope thus prescribes to bishops their du-
ties: FIRST, by pastoral letters unmasA secret
societies and make people abhor them; second,
extend Christian education; third, urge agri-
cultarists and workingmen to organize Catholic
associations and conferences Of st. Vincent de
Paul; fourth, watch schools and cxhort the
youth never to become members Of any society
without first consulting their priests The
pope ends his encyclical by emploring the aid
Of the blessed virgin.

Ku Klux Trials Abandoned,

In the United States circuit court at Charles
ton, South Carolina, District Attorney Melton
moved the discontinuance of all cases on the
docket involving charges of violation of the
election lave If the United States. The motion
was granted by Judge Bond, without comment.
and all the cases were stricken from the docket
In making the motion Melton said
When he came into Office he found about 200
cases on the docket Realizing that all could not
be tried, he obtained permission from the de-
partment of justice to select the most serious
and discontinue the others. The result of the
trials was one conviction and one plea Of guilty,
the other cases resulting in mistrials. Second
trials again resulted in mistrials. Being thor
oughly convinced that in the present state of
public sentiment convictions. were impossible
in these cases, no had SO informed the attorney
general, and had received from him aletter d.
recting him to exercise his discressioa in the
matter; hence the motion that the cases be dis
continued .,@ 49,
Ex-Judge Magrath, counsel for the accused,
denied very emphahcally that conviction failed
because Of the influence of public sentiment
He asserted that the failure was because in no
case proposed by the district attorney for trial
had there been sufficient evidence npon which
to base conviction, even had the judge been
sitting without jury.

President Arthur has entertained as
no other president ever entertained be-
fore, and yet he is blamed by what is
called Society, or unofficial people,
for not recognizing their claims to his
hospitality. Every member Of Congress
save two, who declined invitations has
placed his feet under the presidential
mahogany, and the wives Of Congress-
men also, together with host of other
officials, have sat at his table and at
tended his receptions. But the butter
tiles of society" feel neglected. 1t
would be difficult to determine what
claims such people can have upon the
magistrate of the nation. Most people
will agree that they have none at all,
and that their complaints are not
worthy of notice.
