THE VATICAN DEGREES.

Accommodation to Catholics Ohlliating
With the Knights of Labor and Kindred
Organizations in 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 is
the following, which is directed against
the Knights of Labor, and was, by direc-
ton of the holy father, read in all the
Catholic churches throughout Canada to-
day. The wording of the mandate is as
follows:
"The cosmopolitan character of secret
societies, and that OF the Knights of La
Dor in particular, necessarily leads their
members to compulsory obedience of the
dictates of council residing IN a
foreign country, which council
at a given time may not only have inter.
ests at variance with those of the Gov
eminent to which its members owe al.
leoiance, but may even be at war with
God. For these and other reasons the
church could not consistently tolerate the
organization or approve of the means re-
sorted to i'm order to attain the desired
end. The council also deemed it prudent
in the church and Christianity to con-
slider the secret aims of the promoters of
FreemaSonry and to warn the adherents
of the Catholic churches against Joining
any such organizations, especially the
Knights of Labor under pain of excom-
municaton."
In another section of the PASTORAL let
ter Is contained Il quotation from Leo
FaXile of France, who was a prominent
member OF the FreemasonS of old France
until last summer lie thinks Masonry
a grotesque imitation of Catholicism, and
has its rites, but its promoters desire and
Z have their own ceremony apart from the
teachings of the peace of God and desire
to eXtinguish and put from existence the
teachings of the Catholic faith.

Resolved. That two years
experience has demonstrated
that the present jury law which
compels citizens, at their own
expense, without regard to their
pecuniary ability or the losses
they may suffer, summarily to
suspend their usual occupations,
break their business engage
ments, travel long distances and
remain from their homes for an
uncertain period, andattend up
Oh District Courts as jurymen, is
a measure of unwise economy,
often productive OF great hard
ship and an unjust imposition
of public burdens upon private
individuals. We therefore de-
nand Of the next Legislature
such legislation as shall secure
to ali citizens fair compensation
for all the time which they spend
and full reimbursement for ali
expenses which they incur in
performing the duties OF jury
men ia the District Courts.
