AGAINST THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR
Cardinal Taschereau, of Quebec, Canada,
has written a letter to the bishops of the
Catholic Church in his jurisdiction announc-
ing the receipt by him of a letter from
Cardinal Simeoni informing him that on
June 81 last the Sacred Congregation of the
Propaganda, after a denomination of the
principles of the knights of Labor, main
tanned its former judgment that, consider
ing the principles, organization and rules
of the Society of the Knights of Labor as
they are set forth, this society must be
classed among those which have been con-
demned according to the instructions of this
supreme congregation on May 10, 1884:
that the bishops be enjoined to proceed as
well against this society as against others
of the same kind, and to employ the reme-
dies ordered or advised in said instructions.
Cardinal Taschereau explains that the pre-
sent decision is in reply to printed appeal
forwarded by him without comment to the
Holy See, accompanied by an authentic
copy of the constitution of the order, and
prayer to examine it all the more carefully
because the society seemed to embrace
all branches of work and workers, as
it's name clearly indicated. Cardinal Tas-
chereau adds: 81 cannot see that there can
any longer be any doubt as to the rule to be
followed by the Catholics of the whole
world, over whom the jurisdiction of that
sacred congregation extends. "-Bah Sun.

Mr.. TILDEN AS A PATRIoT.-The press
of the country is doing justice to the abilities
and patriotism of the lamented Tilden, and
the more his career is examined the more it
will appear that he deserved we'll of the Re-
public Mr. Tilden suffered the greatest
wrong that could be inflicted on a states
man. He was deliberately robbed Of the
Presidency, and of two terms of Office, for
one would have been followed by another
beyond dispute. This high office, with all
its grand possibilities of fame and good
work for his country, was stolen from him
in the most transparent manner, and he
knew the fact. But in that supreme
moment he deliberately sacrificed himself,
his hopes, and aspirations sooner than shake
the fabric of Government by insisting on
his claim. He had large popular majority
at his back, great and courageous party
behind him, and his friends at the North
knew their rights and were not afraid to
maintain them. But he sacrificed himself
sooner than see the serenity of the country
disturbed, and this fact should remain to
his everlasting glory in the annals of the Re-
public. This one fact answers all the
adverse criticisms ever made upon him
either as a man, OF a patriot, and his biog-
rapher will have magnificent field in this
direction opened before him. We trust
that the writer of his Life may be found
equal to the "high argument and may do
it justice. -Norfok Landmark.
