THE FATHFR OF TIE FAITHFUL
The temporal power Of the Pope and
its attendant advantages should be kept
distinctiye.y separate in the minds OF
MI from his august duties and prer0-
patiyes as Vicar of Christ and the sue
cassor Of st. Peter. The Holy Father
has no absolute need for an empire or q
kinpdom-as some thick heads of the
present day seem to imagine. His being
robbed of his temperatures does not
affect the spiritual interests OF the
Catholic world over which he rules land
of which so many of our dissenting and
biQoted brethren are jealous of) as its
spiritual head, no more than st. Peters
preroqatiyes were effected by his being
. Jew and stranger in the imperial
CITY Of Rene. 1t is the business and
duty of every Catholic to support the
common father Of the faithful, for he
never was and never can be dependent
mon the revenues OF a kingdom to
keep up his state. All that we demand
as Catholics, and all that the continuity
Of the Church's mission exacts is that
the Holy Father shall enjoy absolute
freedom in the exercise of his spiritual
authority and that he never become the
subject or dependent of any temporal
prince or power. His temporal power"
secured his freedom in past centuries;
IL was robbery TO take it from him. and
we hope to see him restored to it. but
his being prisoner in the Vatican IN
no way affects his spiritual power, or
the generous support his rank entities
him to by all Christian catholics
throughout the world.

TORY PROSPERITY" IN IRELAND.

TORY PROSPERITY In lhhLAND'
The idea that Ireland is prospecting
under existing circumstances is just
now specially favorite one with Tory
speakers in England. Salisbury in q
speech few DAYS ago asserted that
Ireland was prospecting and disorder
was vanishing. It does not matter to
those speakers that nobody else can dis
cover the alleged prosperity or any sign
Of it. What all the world secs in Ire
land at the present day is the reverse of
ANYTHING that would indicate the shadow
Of prosperity. Evictions in almost
every townland, happy homes destroyed
by the merciless police, poorhouses
crammed. the sea-ports ana the out
going steamers crowded with emigrants,
is. in our estimation, poor indication
Of prosperity" There are but q few
Of the terrible facts that the current
history Of Ireland presents at the pre-
sent day. In any other parts Of the
civilized world such facts would be de.
plored as proofs Of poverty and decay,
but in Ireland they are the marks of
..prosperity." In every other country
ia the world population at the present
day is increasing; but in Ireland it IS
decreasing. This. again. is ''prosperitv, =
according to Tory ideas. However, it
is gratifying to know that these same
Tories find 1t difficult, even in ENGLAND,
to get audiences TO listen to such pre-
posterous aDsnrdities. Their meetings.
according to newspaper accounts, are
almost invariably packed by their own
prejudiced partizans. Wherever 9 Tory
is to speak, admission is only BY tickets
iudlciously distributed amongst persons
known to hold the same views as the
speaker. The Tories, il would seem.

with regret of the death Of E. w. Garde,
of Duluth, which occurred recently at
his late home in that city. Mr.. Garde

ALLAO IES OF DIVORCE

This is 8 matter that for some time

comes up III our courts IN this city, but
tits seldom that we discover the fact
that journal like the New York Sum.
influential. efficient, wise and conser-
vative, places itself on record as opposed
to great moral reform. Recently it
made q serious. and IN our opinion, q.
lamentable mistake in favor Of vice and
against public virtue, IN it's adverse
criticism Of the proceedings Of q meet
ing 8 short time ago IN Philadelphia Of
what is termed the National Reform
Association. This organization aims at
the enactment Of a federal divorce sta
tute, and the promotion Of the idea that
clergymen should not marry divorced
persons when they have been divorced
on other than Scriptural grounds. The
Sun points with humor at the impos
slbility of defining what are the Scrip
tnral grounds for dissolvinR the mar
riage tie SO as to satisfy the conscien-
tions scrnples of the ciergymen of the
many and varied denominations in this
country. This is undeniably true, and
we'll put 1t is also one of the pitiful
instances showing the vicious tendency
of private Judgment" on essential
points. It is this very diversity of
opinion, as of conscience. perhaps, that
makes possible the shameful condition
of existing laws regulating marriage
and 50 called divorce. This clergyman
or that layman may exercise his more
or less enlightened judgment in the
matter and guide his action accordingly.
If the judgment of others antagonize
and seem irreliglous or unscriptural,
who can logically gainsay it or prescribe
it as improper. In all cases Of this
character the personal inclinati0ns of
the party in question form a large and
prepondering element in the formation
of the Judgment or opinion. He who
seeks divorce from his lawfully welded
wife is ordinarily apt to be lenient in
his own favor; and it is not difficult, IN
view of the popularity Of fallacies on
divorce, to find an argument that will
win him an armor against social"
condemnation. Another of the falla-
cies widely and harmfullY spread is, that
divorce should be easy, 50 that illicit
relations NAV be rendered unnecessary.
This is equivalent to saying that sin
NAV be washed of it's offensiveness by
calling it by another name; equivalent
to purifying the adulterer by making
his so called second marriage valid in
civil law. Adultery is not the subject
Of civil law. Some Of the States in this
country have made it a crime, while
others have totally IGNORED It's existence
as an offence against society, punish
able by the secular arm. Nevertheless
it is sin against decency, against social
law, and the highest morality born Of
religion and Christianity.

desires to retire from public life. In
our opinion, public life has long desired
to retire from the Hon. Joe. Never
before have two parties to contract
been so heartily and unanimously bent
upon severance. There is no reason
why the exceedingly loose tie should
not be btOken at once.

THE CHURCH AND PATRIOTISM.

The all-pervading sentiment of the
late Centennial proceedings at Balti
more, was nothing more or less than an
honest expression of American senti
ment and patriotism. tits prominent in
sermons and impromptu speeches, and
the studied addresses of the Congress,
as we'll as the exercises at the dedlca.
tion of the University. There seemed
to be everywhere manifest a feeling OF
thanksgiving for the character of our
institutions. and an acknowledgment
that the growth and progress Of the
Church in this country are largely due
to the liberty and freedom that we en-
JOY under our form of government.
The American clergy aud scholars aud
writer's taught bv the hampered and
feUtered condition Of the Church in
European countries, are capable Of fully
approaching the blessings Of the thor
ough independence OF the Church In
this country. They have sought to
teach the membership Of the Church to
be grateful to our government for the
religious freedom we enjoy and to repay
the government by deeper loyalty and
a CONSCIENTIOUS discharges of the duties
OF citizenship. There was evidenced
also general desire to make the church
in temporal concerns thoroughly Ameri-
can, and free from any foreign selti
ment or ideas 80 apt to be engrafted
upon the Church by a membership
made up SO largely Of immigrants
from foreign countries. Archbishop
Ireland, Of ST Paul. thoroughly ex-
pressed the sentiment in his sermon
on that occasion when he said: The
Church Of America must be, IF course,
as Catholic as ever in Jerusalem or
Rome; but 50 far as her garments as
sumo color from the loca. atmosphere
she must be- American. Let no one
dare paint her bro " with foreign tint
