The Court of Claims has sent to Congress. as
required by law, list of the claims adudicated
under the French Spoiation act of 1850. The
claims adjudicatcd are six and amount to about
$4,000. There are about 1000 claims pend
ing, so that it will take some time for the court
to adjudicate all the claims and report them to
Congress. The Court, however, has settled
most of the important questions involved, so
that the work hereafter can be done more rap
idly. Practically it is settled that the United
States is responsible for all the claims which
We're covered by the treaty with France. The
time for filing the claims expires Jan. 25th
next. 1t is uncertain how much the claims
will amount to when adjudicatcd, but the inn
preston is that they will exceed $4,000, 900.
After they are adjudicated, then Congress will
be called upon to decide whether they shall be
paid.

Editorial Notes.

The gain in the deposits of the Maine savings
banks for the past year amounts to 81, ,1O3,471.-
SO. and the number of depositors increased
5293. This shows that the year has been good
one for Maine and it also speaks well for the
thrift of our people. Commenting on this show
ing the kennebec journal says
But for the use of strong drinks by laborers
the savings banks of the country at large would
have much greater sums i'll them. Intoxicating
liquors cost money. steal away precious time,
incapacitate for work, reduce wages, and often
make the difference between beggary and shame
and comfortable home and living. But in
Maine temperance is the rule and ntemperance
the exception. 1t is only in our larger cities
and towns that intemperance prevails. If the
use of intoxicating drinks could be stopped in
these by the temperance laws or through the
Influence of other temperance agencies there

ever brave and disciplined, could
stand before the awful charge of
his troops. Napoleon said that his
very presence was equal to ten
thousand soldiers. When the for

The Pope and the knights of Labor.


To the editor of the alexandria Gaelic:
Ifyou are right 10 the idea expressed in
your last issue, rs to the view people gene
rally take Of the unity of the Catholic
Church and the power Of its earthly head,
, it is not to be wondered at that they disik Q
them. The most ultra montane of Catholics
never commended for such q power for the
Pope as you seem to think he is in the habit
of exercising. The fact is that in no human
organization is there so much liberty OF
opinion aud OF action in undecided matters
az among Catholics, and that no Judge Is so
careful in examining q matter before pro-
nouncing upon it as the Pope. 1t was five
years alter Philip the Fair bad arrested
James of Molay and his brethren, and two
after he had burned them at the stake, before
Clement the 9th suppressed the Templars,
and Luther had affixed his theses to the
door of the Schlosskirke at Wttenberg,
three years before Leo the 10th issued his
bull against him.
The GAZETTE itself probably disapproves
the published principles Of the Knights of
Labor for economic or political reasons only;
the violent actions of some or many OF its
members, in violation Of those principles,
may make the organization more or less a
dangerous one; but be fore resorting to the ex-
IRENE measure of forbiddng membership in
it TO individual Catholics, the Pope is bound
to hear them patiently, and it does not even
appear that charges against the order IN the
United States have ever been made to him.
Cardinal Taschereau has never, think,
given fully to the public his objections to it
in his diocese, so that We are at liberty to
conclude that there is some special reason
for the condemnation, which Affects that dl-
ocess only, or, at most tho whole of Canada,
such as its supposed interference with allie
glance TO the Queen, which the Catholic
Church is bound to uphold in that country
while it remains subject to England. The
maxim OF st. Augustine, an essentials unity,
in non. essentials liberty, in all things char
ity," applies in this case as in all others,
and you may be sure that no condemnation
of the Knights of Labor, or any other or.
ganizaton, will be pronounced at Rome I'M
til it shall have been proved that its prnci-
Piles are vicious, or that, as body, 1t is dan.
gerous to religion or society.
am not member of that order, because
I think some of the measures or purposes
of doubtful expediency, and others wholly
impracticable, and because its organization
does not seem strong enough to control its
membership, and bind them to what is good
in its principles, but would be very I'M
willing to be prohibited from Joining it by
decree issued without proper considera.
ton. AS to the difference of opinion be-
tween cardinals, presume that, selected rs
they are from all nations, there is, on earth,
