first full and authentic translation into En-
glish of Leo XIII's Eucyclical in the
Christian Constitution of States appears
very different in this full form from the
cable condensations already published.
Instead of condemning in any way mod
ern civilization or S -ates as they exist at
present, the Pope highly approves of all
real progress and true freedom. 1t is, in
short, an exac reversal of the policy pur-
sued by the late Plus TX, whose e~ncycli.

ization as atheistic and pagan. In order
to show this a few extracts will suffice.

The Supreme Court of Louisiana last
week handed down q decision in a cotton
culture case that ia of interest to all per-
sors engaged in the trade. 1t holds that
Sales of property for future delivery, with the
bona fde intention and obligation to make actual
delivery, are lawful contracts; but if, under the
form ofsuch q contract, tho real intent be merely
the goods are not TO be delivered, but the contract
to be settled on the basis of difference of prices,
the transaction is a wager and is non-actionable
But in order to affect the contract the alleged ille-
gal intent must have been mutual, and such in
tent by one party not concurred in by the other
until the contrary is proved, and when one. party
charges illegal intent, the burden of proof is i'm
posed upon him, The validity of the contract de-
pends upon the state of things existing ut its
ments under which the parties voluntarily ascent
to a settlement on the basis OF difference. The
mere fact that at the date of his contract the
vendor had not the goods and had made no ar
for obtaining them, and had no ex-
recitation of receiving them unless by subsequent
The contrary doctrine once announced is now
thoroughly overruled. ItfolloWs that the failure
to identify the particular goods sold docs not aE-
feet the matter, because the sale is not of ascer-
kind, quantity to be selected thereafter, which is

rocal.
This seems to be of the essence Of COM
mon sense, and is q rebuke to the few who
are valiant spectators while they win, but
whine and howl for their money when
