whom the other centered her affection this
friendly feeling was supplanted and in its stead
jealous anmosity arose. They met short time

Text of the Pope,s Denunciation.


LONDON, April 29.-The text of the papaI de-
cree says:
''On several occasions the Apostolic See has
given to the people of Ireland, whom it has
always regarded with special benevolence, suit

stances have required, as to how they might de-
fend their rights without injury to justice the

Grafton, their Emznences unanimously answered
in the negative, and their decision was confirmed
by the Holy Father on Wednesday, the 18th day
of the present month.
1.-THE justice of.this decision will be readily
seen by any one who applies his mind to con-
slider that rent agreed upon by mutual con-
sent cannot, without violation of contract, be
diminished at the mere will of the tenant ea-
pecially when there are tribunals appointed for
the purpose of settling such controversies aud
reducing such unjust rents within the bounds
OF equity, after taking in account the causes
which diminish the value of land. Neither can it
be considered permissible that rents should lie
extorted from tenants and deposited in the
hands of unknown persons, TO the detriment OF
landowners Finally it is contrary to justice
aud charity to persecute, by a social interdict
those who are satisfied to pay the rents they
agreed to pay. or those who, in the exercise of
their rights. take vacant farms. Il will, there

LINCOLN, Nab., April 29.-On the question of
the papal condemnation of the plan of campaign.
Mr.. Patrick Egan, ex-presdent of the Irish
National League of America. said to-day: ''Such
course on tho part of Rome has been expected
by those acquainted with the current af the in
tr:gue passing between the Tory government
and the Vatican. Rome has always been more
friendly with English Toryism than with Irish
nationality, or even with English Liberalism.
Il has long been the ambition of
the papal advisors to secure direct
diplomatic relations with England, TO have
accredited representative the court of ST.
James. and an English minister at the Vatican
instead of carrying diplomacy intrigue
through unofficial mediums like Errington. 1t
is also pet scheme to have established and en-
dowe& Catholic University in Ireland. 1t is
understood that the Tory government has prom
ised to satisfy both desires on condition that the
authority of the papacy should be exercised to-
ward what they are pleased to term 'paeification'
of Ireland; In other words the Gripping Of the
Nationel League. This attempt at spiritual in-
reference in matters purely temporal and polit-
ical will put new life and determination In the
movemen t. will raise mp unexpected difficulties
for England and bring no credit or advantage
to Rome. Irish Catholics recognize very
clearly that churchmen'are not the church, and
while they will have no quarrel with the latter
they will stand no dictation from the former
and especially when question of faith
morals is involved. Resort to such methods to
help their ends by the Tory government indi-

ate straits
