CATHOLICS AND SECRET SO
CIETTES

A conference of the archbishops Of the
Roman Catholic church in the United
States, to be held at Baltimore on the
27th inst. is beginning to attract atten-
ton, as the proceedings promise to be OF
more than ordinary interest to thousands
OF men who are nominally Roman Catho-
lies, and yet who are in reality outside
the pale of the church. The chief topic
TO be discussed at the conference is the
policy of the church of Rome toward Sc
cret orders-the Masons, Odd Fellows,
Knights OF Labor, etc. 1t is given
out that the pope views, with alarm, the
rapid growth Of secret orders throughout
the world, and the tendency on the part
OF Catholics, especially in the United
States, to become members of and ali late
with such orders. The conference will
discuss the subject in all its bearings, and
after deciding upon line of action and
policy, invoke the authority OF the vatican
to secure obedience TO the mandates that
may be issued, AS Is known, to all intel.
ligent people, the church Of Rome
sets its face against any order
or organization whose secrets are
held by members too sacred &c
be divulged AT the confessional. Thi.
has been the policy of Rome for centuries,
and while at some periods and in som,
countries the church may have temper
arilY released the vigorous application o
the principle, she has never given 1t up
1t need not be anticipated that any con
cession will be made now. The instances
of relaxation above alluded to were tn,
result OF circumstances, the inability o
the church, for the time-being, to enforce
the canons, Indeed, there cannot be an,
yielding save at the expense OF consist

but as for themselves they stay away fror

concerned, the result will be that thou.
sands Of men who are now members OF
the various orders, and yet who are de.
voted friends of the church, will be sub
jected to trying ordeal. They will be
called on TO choose between adherence
to their societies or formal excommunl-
cation by their church. The orders, such
as Masonic, Odd Fellows, etc, exercise a
great influence over their members; their
rites and the associations are attractive
and fascinating, and in many Of them the
features Of practical benevolence and
helpfulness are so admirably exempliaed
and carried out that men become thor
oughly devoted, and with good reason,
to them. On the other hand, religious
sentiment, when conscientious and deep
ly implanted-when nurtured and de.
yeloped by education--ha q wonderfully
strong hold on the human mind, and there
are few men who, when put to a supreme
test, prove recreant to their religion. II
will be an interesting spectacle, whatever
the result, II the church of Rome shall
decide to put her sons to such test.

The rumor that Miss Cleveland is to re-
tire from the editorship of Literary Life
on account Of the unfriendly criticisms of
the press gives US much pain. Miss
Cleveland's intentions were In the highest
degree praiseworthy. She went into
journalism as she went into Washington
society-to reform 1t, to elevate Its tone,
to make it less decollete. And immedi-
ately the frivolous newspapers began to
inquire whether she could run Washing
ton hand-press, or could distinguish all
itallc en- quad from a BREWER shooting
stick. They accused her of trying to get
her millinery goods on subscrip
ton, and of going around
with iDky fingers, faded
Guessing gown, and slippers that tapped
up and down at the heels when she
walked. They ignored her efforts to purify
Western literature. And now they have
driven her out 1t is unkind. 1t is un-
chivalrous. And what adds to the pain
fulness of this affair is the probability
that Literary Life will now be worse than
1t was before her connection with it.

THE FEDERAL MACHINE as A
POLITICAL AGENT.

1t is said that the president is going to
make an example of those custom-house
officials and employees at New Orleans
who have been taking a prominent part
in the conventions held recently In Louis
lana. Mr.. Jonas, who is collector of
customs at New Orleans, was so i'm
pressed with the gravity of the situation
that he made 1t convenient to call on the
president in Washington, and satisfy him
that he (Jonas) had not INDUCED in any
"offensive partisan" indiscretions. Mr.
Jonas said he didn't know what his sub
ordinates had been doing, but If any OF
them had been running conventions, such
action was without his knowledge or con-
sent. The president, so the story goes,
has determined to make full investiga-
ton, and will then announce his decision,
which, it is anticipated, will be that
the officials who have offended
must go. THE GAZETTE does not
profess to know whether the Louisiana
officials have violated the presidents
order or not. II they have, it is rather
probable they did so as much through
ignorance as willfulness or impudence
1t is new wrinkle that grown-up Demo.
Gratis, because enjoying office, must hold
aloof from politics. Heretofore the rule
has been that when Democrat or Re.

1t has been insimated, so broadly that thu
limitations were almost equal to charges
that the Texas custom-houses have bee
worked this year in the interest of con
gressional aspirants. THE GAZETTE ha
paid very little attention to sue
rumors, not regarding them a
worthy of credence. There are yer

understand that liberty is not license,

archy. In the minds Of the native-born,

from childhood they have absorbed much
