The Catholic Church and knights
Of Labor

New YORK, March 16.-The labor
question is forced upon Archbishop
Oorriga in the form OF choice be-
tween action and non-action against
the Knights Of Labor as secret 30
ciety. All organizations invo wing an
oath of secrecy are under the ban of
the Roman Catholic Church. Here
in the diocese OF New York the en-
forcement OF that rule has long been
lax, and especially go under Cardinal
McCloskey ard during the reign
Of Pope Plus TX. Cardinal MCCloskey,
as an Irishmau, was in sympathy
with his countrymen, and indisposed
to be rigorous with them as to their
membership in secret societies. Occa-
sionally parish priest would deny
admittance to his church for societies
in regalia. and that action would be
sustained by the cardinal, but that
was about the extent OF suppression
undertaken. The Clan na Gael, the
Sons of st. Patrick and the
Hibernians flourished without serious
hindrance from the Catholic clergy.
The present Pope Leo has had firmer
policyof antagonism to secret soc ietles.
The understanding in high Catholic
circles here is that in refusing to give
New York successor to McCloskey in
the cardinalate, and especially now in
deciding TO 90 to Canada for second
Cardinal in America, he expresses a
rebuke FOR the failure to effectually dis
countenance secret orders among Irish
men here.
Archbishop Corrigan has received
within the month an official letter
from Rome, among the contents OF
which, his secretary admits, was a
passage bearing on this matter. That
the Injunction to enforce the power OF
the church TO break up the Knights oil
Labor was imperative is indicated by
the fact that simultaneously the Arch
bishop OF Quebec issued his denuncia-
ton OF the Knights and forbade ell
Catholics 10 remain members. ina
Archbishop Corrigan has lost cardi'
na'ate through his leniencY, as some
of the attaches of his Off cial establish
ment imply, seems improbable, since
he is rather too young, in comparison
to other candidates, to have reas0. a
bly, expected the appointment. Iht
doings of the Knights OF Labor are
profoundly secret until they show
publicity for themselves, and it ha'
proved impossible to determine
whether the order has received any
direct communication from Arch
bishop Corriga1; but it is certain tina
individual members have very numer
ously been spoken to by their pastor
on the subject through the comics
sional.

ST. LOUIS, No., March l6.-Yice-
President Hoxie received the follow
ing letter to-day:
sEDALIA, NO., March Is, 1886.
II, NJ. Hoxie, First Vice President:
1t has been intimated to me that a
committee OF the Knights Of Labor,
composed of railroad employees, would
be admitted to a conference with you
in regard to the difficulties now exist
ing with faid employees and railroad
companies composing the Gould
Southwestern system. II it is your
wish, such q committee is ready for
conference at such time and Place as
you may determine.
MARVIN IRONS,
Chm knights Labor Executive COMMITTEES.
MR.. HoxIE's REPLY.
To this, after acknowledging its re-
ceipt, Mr.. Hoxie replied as follows:
While / am always ready to con-
fer with and hear complaints from any
employees of the companies which l
represent, cannot see thst meeting
with committee such as you propose
would adjust the trouble, as l am in
formed that the reason for the existing
difficulties was the discharge of O. A..
Hall by the receivers Of the Texas and
Pacific railway, a road not under my
control, and with the manage
ment OF which l have no
voice or authority. | would further
state that the action tai en- by our la'e
employees has so reduced our traffic
that we shall not soon again require
as many men in our shops as hereto
fore, but all good men who desire en-
ployment, and are acceptable to our
superin endents, will hereafter, as
heretofore, be well and promptly paid
for services rendered.; and if they
have any complaints l will take pleas
ure in meeting them for that purpose.

The ancients more than equaled the
modern in their ingehiously profuse-

spendthrifts Of ancient Rome alone

Of unique variety. Apicius, Crassus,
Probus, Claudius, Nero, vitellius and

most trifling objects. Apicius spent
nearly million pounds on his palate,

discovering that ho had not quite one

Elagabalus regaled the attendants Of

peas were sprinkled with grains of
gold, pearls were scattered in dishes of
rice, and the costlicst amber was used
to render palatable a dish of beans.
