was defeated by the biggest majority cast In
that State for twenty years.
Texas cast 90, 600 majority against the eff
fort to force q prohibitory amendment into
her constitution.
An effort was made to force the law on
Tennessee in 1887. The people after
thorough discussion resolved not to put 1t
into their constitution.
Oregon submitted the amendment in 1887
but her people would have none of it and the
amendment was buried under an avalanche
of votes.
In November, 1888, West Virginia voted
on prohibition. The question was thoroughly
discussed, Investigations into the working OF
the law in other states were carefully made
and the amendment was defeated by vote
of three to one.
Canana has tried prohibition. The law
was passed few years ago and on a recon
sideration of the question, April 3, 1883, 1t
was overthrown. Every city and town in
Canada which voted that day repealed pro-
hibition.
In Iowa in 1880 there were 1904 govern
ment licenses issued for the sale of liquor.
In 1886, under prohibition, the number had
increased to 4, ,033-an increase Of 199. It is
not within the limits of reason that any man
would pay for a license unless he meant to
use it.
For the year ending April 80, 1881, before
prohibition, 1 ,eS4 government licenses to sell
liquor were issued in Kansas. In the year
ending April 80, 1887, after five years of pro-
hibition, 9,997 were issued; in other words,
there were 5s per cent. more places selling
liquor in the year ending April 30, 1887, un-
der prohibition, than in the year ending April
30, 1881; before the enactment of the law.
There had simply been change of name ''sa-

The temporal power of the pope has been
formed into an article of faith for all Catho-
lies by articles 7s and 70 of the syllabus,
which solemnly condemns all errors on this
subject, and decide that all Catholics ought
to hold with the greatest frmness the in
struction Of the Pope in regard to his tenn
poral power.
It is remarkable that in these articles of
the Syllabus, notwithstanding his pretended
infallibility, Plus TX has condemned in 1854
the doctrine which he had himself declared
in 1848.
There has been found recently in the
archives of the italian Minister Of Public In
struetion the identical discourse which Count
Mamiani, prime minister of Plus TX, pro-
nounoed the 9th of June, ,184S. at the opening
of the Roman parliament. The representa-
tive of the then liberal Pope declared to the
deputies of the states of the church that the
"Holy Father did not hold 1t to be absolutely
necessary to maintain the temporal power"
and that che preferred to conane himself to
the higher sphere Of his spiritual authority,
to live in the unchanging peace Of doctrine,
to announce to the world the word Of God,
to pray, to bless and to pardon."-
When the dream of liberal papacy was dis
sipated, Plus TX. maintained in an allocution
pronounced at Gaeta, that he had not au-
thorized his minister to make the above die
tation. But the document of Mamiani has
the notes and corrections by the hand of
Plus *, which proves that the Pope had
reviewed and approved the discourse of his
minister.
The Italian government has caused this
document to be photographed, and proposes
to send copy of it to all the public libraries
of the kingdom.
