THE PAHAL LETTER.

THE PAPAL LETTER.
LONDON, April 2s,-A dispatch from
Rome to the Times says the papsl
letter has already been sent to the Irish
Bishops and will be published about ten
days hence. The versions hitherto
printed sre more or less corjectursl.
The Pope forbids the Catholics TO adopt
the plan of campaign or TO ergsge In boy
cotting and enjoins obedierce TO the laws.
Other questions are In aoeyspce.
WILL FIGHT TIE PIPE.
The Na.ionslIsts have determined TO
continue the plan OF campaign in spite OF
the pspsl decree. 1t is asserted that the
movement will not suffer much from the
necessary detection Of the priests who
will undoubtedly continue to sympath'ze
With the people aud that the vacancies
can easily be filled with laymeD. The
matter has caused extremely bitter feel
in q among the Nstioualists who indig-
nsntly resent the governments intrisuss
with the Vatican. The Conservs!ives,snd
Orangemen fear that In return for the
Pope's action the government will make
concessions in come ction with the eou-
cationsl question wpich concessions they
are prepared 10 streuuausly oppose.
PRESS COMMENTS.
LONDON, April 28.-Tne st. James Co.
zatse, referring to the pspsl decree, says
after all rumors of missions and negotiS-
tions it is not surprising that many Irish
men believe in the existence Of an agree
ment between E. gland ard the Vatican
into which they ssy the Natican was
Kicked. Heed should be given, 1t say s.
~ hat pnnp hacked
oy Lord Salisbury, rescues Lerd Cianfi'
csrde and supports Chief Secretary Bal
four. Even Conservative dlmness Of
vision ought to see that such luxea'
position could only produce one ehecl
upon The Irish. II the Pope hiss allowed
himself 20 be drawn into anything, ever
family resembling such mistak e
1t will be regretted by mosl
I,ish Catholics, and Lord Salisbury
aid Mr.. Balfour will not gain any politi'
csl advantage by the blunder. GA the
contrxry, it will add to the intense bitter
ness Of Ireland's hatred Of the Tory gov
eminent. In conclusion the Gazette de
mands that it be early made known ths'
there has been no TRANSACTIONS or osr
gainipgs between the government and the
Vatican.
The Globe says it suits the purposes Of
the National League aid the Fenisn press
Of Americs to curry favor with the priests
but If the supporters Of home rule should
attain their objects the division
Of the spells would cause o CON
lict between the Parnellite party
and the Vatican, both Of which woule
desire exclusive right TO govern Ireland
lhe Vatican desires social and politica
dominance and an emancipated Ireland
but j. does 1oL desire TO substitute re-
public for a monarchy. EZpsIierce ns;
shown th.t wherever this mas been oont
the pspacy has been the loser. The con-
ception thst the Pope has accepted
oriae from Lord SALISBURY Is idiotic, sor-
did aud surprising. The Vatican VIII nc
sooner see Ireland separated from Ea-
gland than che will come in!o corntc'
with the victorious couspirators.
