A Future Matter For Australia.
Macmillan's Magazine.

The wealth of the Catholic church in
Australia is enormous, and the Propaganda
at Rome appears to be acting on Canning's
principle and really calling into existence a
new world to recompense the church for its
declining power in Europe. Within the
last seven years churches, schools, colleges.
seminaries, nunneries, sisterhoods. and mo-
nastic orders have been founded or estab-
ished in all the Australian colonies, and
are many of them under the control of
Frenchmen, Italians, and Englishmen of
exceptional ability, who present marked
contrast to the illiteracy of the ordinary
country priest. In addition. large sums of
money have been raised in Australia and
granted by Rome for the purchase of land
and the erection of buildings; and all this
increase of power and improvement of or
ganization has taken place while the other
religious bodies are inactive and declining
in authority. Nowhere is it more difficult
than in a young country TO forecast the
future; but it seems plain from the present
indications that unless some new and mod
fying influence asserts itself, the scene of
the struggle between church and liberty
will be changed from France to Australia

TIE PROHIBITION MOVEMENT.

TIE pROUIBIrION NOV EMENr.
The Philadelphia Timcss, peaking of the
prohibition movement in that state, says:
The prohibition state convention had the
air and flavor of a positive factor III Penn

ful that it is henccforth to he recognized as
nm important if not a controlling element
in state conflicts Itmay not be vigorously
asserted this wear, rs legislation cannot be

tain to come up smiling in 1890, when its
power can he made effective, and 1t Is more
than likely that it may I've the bull with
the hay on his horns i'll that struggle.
The one thing that the prohihItionlsts have
learned at last is that there is no prohibi
ton party but the prohibition party.
They seemed to love to he cheated, kicked
and cuifed from post topillar for years past,
and to rally with enthusiasm under party
leaders who scooped them up with glitter
ing but meaningless promises while trad
ing with the liquor men for both votes and
cash; hut the vote of last June was stun
ming eve-opencr to them and they are now
enlisted for the war as IN independent
army
The Prohibition party is no longer Il
mere side show in Pennsylvania politics,
II is vital, earnest, aggressive organiza-
tion, and whenever it shall gain practical
political sagacity equal to its sincerity 1t
will become master Of the situation. 1t
holds the balance of power in large
minority of the Senatorial and Representa-
tive districts of the state, and whenever 1t
shall understand how to WELD that power
il will make leaders of both sides render
homage to its aims.
II is essentially an educational move
ment. and it must command respect because
of the sound moral sentiment that under
lies even its extravagant utteranceS. 1t is
like the anti-slavery sentiment prior to
1856. Ii was odious, but all confessed 1t
right in the abstract and it was finally
made successful by the follieS of Its foes,
Had the slavery leaders yielded the freedom
of the Territories and not attempted tc
nationalize bondage and sectionalize free
dom, slavery would be stronger to-day thar
ever il was in its palmiest times; but Slay
cry forced the issue and slavery was van
quished. Had the liquor interests initiated

in our politics, and its future power will b

sumo that it will not control the create
