with the knights Of Labor and kindred
Orgsumtions n Canada.
OTTAWA, Ont, june 20.-The report OF
the council Of the church, recently held
At Quebec, having been called to Rome
and approved BY the HOLY See, and re-
turned to America for PRONUNCIATION,
have been received by Cardinal Tachereau.
The principal mandate Of the DEGREES Il
the following, which Is directed against
the knights Of Labor, and was, BY direc-
tion Of the holy father, read in all the
Catholic churches throughout canada to-
day. The wording Of the mandate - -
follows:
ssThe cosmopolitan character Of secret
societies, and that OF tine Knights Of La
Dor In particular, necessarily leads their
members TO compulsory obedience Of the
dictates Of q council residing IN :
foreign country, which council
At Z given time may not only have inter-
ests At variance with those Of the Cow
eminent 10 which It's members owe a.
~legiance, but may even be 1t war with
God. For these and other reasons the
church could not consistently tolerate the
organization or approve Of the means re-
sorted TO In order 20 atratn the desired
end. The council also deemed II prudent
in the church and Christianity TO con
slider the secret aims Of the promoters Of
Feeemasonry and 70 warn the adherents
Of The Catholic churches against joining
any such organizations, especially the
knights Of Labor, under pain Of excom-
munication."
In another section Of the PASTORAL let
ter 10 contained q quotation from Leo
Taxile Of France, who was . promine nj
member Of the Frcemasons Of old France
until last summer He thinks Masonry
aRrotesque imitation Of Catholicism, and
has It's rites, but It's promoters desire and
have their own ceremony apart from the
teachings Of the peace Of God and desire
70 ~extinguish and put from existence the
teachings Of The Catholic faith.

The Only Way to Avoid War Is To Re

New YORK, Aug. Is-The Herald has
the following dispatch from Governor Ire
land of Texas:
"AUsTIN, Tex, Aug 12-THE EDITOR or
THE HERALD: You ask my views of the
Cutting case. Cutting has never applied to
me- 1t may be conceded, If necessary.
that Cutting has been legally convicted un :
der Mexican law, but the people and gov
ernment of the United States can
never submit TO such a rule of law.
Every editor and every other person who
writes or prints matter in the United States
obnoxious to tho Mexican courts can at any
time when found in Mexico be arrested and
punished as Cutting has been. The person
OF Cutting is not involved. Surely our gov
ernment has not made an idle demand. No
one wants war, and ! trust no one wants
peace at the expense of national honor and
the rights of American citizens. The only
way to avoid war is to be ready for it and
show Willingness to accept it if it must be.
Outrages have gone far enough and have
been numerous enough JOHN IRELAND,

1t would he an outrage and the United

proceeding and would have to pay the
Mexican government damages believe
all these questions can be settled without

What arc your views in regard to the

According to our international rights
and treaties, according TO the common law
of the country, the Mexican authorities
have jurisdiction i'll the Cutting case Cut
ting was tried and convicted according TO

many years ago went out from Loudon

came very much attached to little girl,
princess OF the nation, among whom
they were prosecuting their missionary
WORK, ana when 1t came time for them to
return 10 tneir home IN America they
asked permission that the child should
accompany tnem. She was then not more
than eight or nine years OF age.
Her father, when first requested to all
low MS daughter TO come TO America,
gave MS consent II may be not think
ing tnat the missionary and his wife were
serious In their intention Of taking the
cnlld nome With them, but when IL came
time Tor departure, he did not want her
70 go. lie was told that he had promised
that she might be taken by the mission
airy. IL is cardinal principle among the
trloe mat promise once made cannot be

father reluctantly gave his consent that
the child might go. The missionary
named 1t Nettie after his own wife, and
treated II more as q plaything and a curl
oslty than as a servant. Though having
children OF their own, the little Africa d
girl was treated as though Of the same
kith and kin, and looked up TO the mis-
sionary and his wife as though they were
her own parents.
She made progress In education, aud
learned the ways OF Americans with
amazing rapidlty. Greater politeness
could not be expected OF a Partisan than
she always displays, Never can she be
Induced TO pass In front Of any one, and
whenever she hands anything TO person
1t is her invarlable custom TO first fall
upon her knees In an exaggerated cour-
tesy. She is now fourteen years old and
has arrived at The age when she would be
eligible to marriage II still among her own
people. Ever since she came TO America
a correspondence has been kept up be-
tween Mr.. Grub and his successors In
Africa, and thus her friends have heard
from her and she from them. In a letter re.
Gently received Mr.. Grub was requested
TO give his consent that little Nettie might
return to her native land, that the king Of
her country might marry her. This re.
quest will probably be complied with, II
the child herself can be Induced to give
up her American friends, TO whom she is
very much attached.
