IN ITALY.
An Address from the Pope-His Enemies
in ItaIy-Bitterness of Feeling.

An Address from the Pope-His Enemie,
in Italy-Bitterness of Feeling.
ROME, December 24.-The Pope, address.
ing the Sacred College, to-day, gave thanks
to God for the blessings that the jubilee
had brought him. He affirmed. with
much feeling, his repeated former utter.
ances on the question of temporal WI
and Indignantly rejected the accusation
that he was an enemy of Italy. He urged
Catholics everywhere to agitate, in a legal
manner, Tor the restoration of papal su.
premacy, and spoke in depreciation of the
recent liberal enactments IN Italy.
His address throughout was unusually
violent and bitter.
The speech referred exclusively to the
Vatican and Italy. His holiness said the
whole world could see in what a. nainful
situation he was placed. One could onlv
ask how far will they go? At the present
time q systematic war is being waped
Even the person Of the Pope was exposed
to threats OF the mob. Enemies of the
molly see had weapons enough already to
lnlnre the papacy. n If these did not
suffice, they were prepared to manufacture
weapons.
1t was Professionally asserted that the Pope
was the enemy OF Italy, and this assertion
was simply made to. musk the real object
OF the %peridious wal against the church.
and that object was to render Italians hos.
tile to the papacy. To indicate the right |
be pontiff was in reality to advance the
prosperity Of Italy. To demand that the
greatest moral power in the world should |
possess a real sovereignty in Italy where
providence placed the church centuries ago.
was not an act Of hostility to the country
The fact that the Bishops in foreign lands
we're laboring for the restoration Of the
Pope's temporal = rights, proved that the
interests OF the whole Catholic church were
,ound in the cause.

A TELEGRAM from Belgrade says that
King Milan has consented to relinquish
the right TO conclude foreign alliances
and military conventions" and that the
radicals are now ready to accept the new
constitution. What the inducement
could be that would make a king "con-
sent" to relinquish a p%rerogative is a
matter Of conjecture, but it certainly
must be something very potential indeed.
The radicals doubtless feel that progress
is being made, and hence their willing
ness to accept the new constitution.

was interesting, particularly that part
which showed that large numbers of
Canadians worked in Detroit during the

acter, however. This amounted, in the
printing trade, to forty per centum, and
in the street car service to twenty-five
per centum. tt was also developed that

across the line and had to be supported

INDIANAPOLIS, December 24.-The arrest
OF G. F. Cuttings, of Chicago, and the fight

holders OF the Columbia Building & Loan

the association has several branches in

Other places are yet to heal from, and it is

SENATOR VEST IN THE FIGHT.
From the st. Louis Republic" The
Democrats of the Senate have begun Wig.
orous work in exposing the Senate bill
for the perpetuationof class government.
In a communication published elsewhere
in this issue, Senator Vest, while dis
claiming authority, to act as their
spokesman, declares that can earnest
and continuous fight will be made
against any section Of the substitute
which conflicts with the House bill and
with the message of President Cleveland
urging the reduction of tariff duties"
The fight, he says, will go on until the
great truth on which the Democratic
party is established-that equal rights
without exclusive privileges constitute
our government-shall sweep the unjust
tariff now in force from the statute
books. 1t is a slight to the death" be-
tween free government and class gov
ernment. j
From this no Democrat in the Senate
or out of it can dissent. 1t is a fight the
Democratic party can only avoid by dis
banding. The principles represented by
the Senate substitute are SO repugnant
to those who still believe in American
freedom that not to oppose it would be
to surrender the Democratic party's right
exist. Tits not a fight that can be
either avoided or compromised. Every
compromise that has been made in the
pastin Democratic platforms or Demo-
eratse bills has strengthened the power
