LEO XIII. ON SOCIALISM.
The Venerable POntiff Has Fin.
ished His EncycIical.

AAASu AAAS EhCy ClCdIs
PARIS, Dec. 27.-Advices from Rome
state that the pope has finished the draft
of his encyclical upon the social ques-
ton. HIS holiness has been working
upon the subject for over
year, and at his request the most
competent economists and bishops of
different countries, including America,
have furnished memoranda. The pope
considers the question the greatest Of
the present time. The encyclical will
be the crowning act of the pope's work
in this direction. The date of the pub
Ilcatlon has not yet been fixed.
The pope is In the habit of
carefully correcting and polishing his
writings. He will also consult with
certain cardinals and prelates on the
Leading passages of his encyclical, but
the Associated Press correspondent is
enabled to give the substance of it
now. The encyclical will review
and eXpound the whole question af-
fecting wageworkers. The document
will comprise three parts. First, his
holiness Will develop the general prime
lpals upon which social economy is
founded, and the dominant idea of dis
trlbutive justice which should regulate
the intercourse of men and the special
VI Wea!th. Inc pope says that
distributive and restorative Justice is
need to prevent misery and
sweating on one side and eXorbitant
riches and tyranny on the other. The
second part comprises the origin and
cause of the present condition of the
social problem. On this point his holt
ness takes a new thesis, first de-
veloped in his encyclical on So
cial problem. The third part con-
tains the view of the pope regard
ing the remedies, beyond religious and
moral influence to be advocated. His
holiness expresses himself again in
favor of intervention by the state with
in the limits previously set forth. He
condemns capitalism as now organized,
and advocates more equitable and Just
distribution of riches. The encyclical
will probably appear before Easter.
The pope works upon it nearly every
day. He is convinced that papacy and
the church should lead the present
social and democratic movement, and
will appeal to all conservative forces
and to Protestants to aid in securing the
safety of society. The pope's physi-
clan says his holiness may live for some
time yet, as he has robust constitution
and is suffering from no infrmity.

Guessing is defined by Webster as

imply that guessing was almost neces-

has reason to believe that guessing is
sometimes the result of very shrewd
Judgment. When, for instance, very
estimable lady guessed that S42, 172
votes would be cast for Gov. Merriam,
her effort was aptly defined by Webster
as above; but when gentleman sends

The actual vote was SSH, so the guess
was within eight votes of the correct
figure.

A BRAZILIAN SCHEME
To Attract immigration by Offer
ing Premiums.

WARSAW. Dec. 27.-What is ostensi-
sibly the text OF secret decree of the
Brazilian government for the encour-
agement of immigration ispublished by
the Courier. The decree, which bears
the signature of President Fonseca and
Senior Gliceria, appears to have been
issued June 20, 1890. 1t is made up of
forty-nine articles, and promises to pay
immigration agents 100 francs for every
adult they send to Brazil and 60 francs
for every child landed. In addition to
this. premium of 100000 francs is of
fered to any company which shall place
10000 immigrants in Brazil IN one year.
Substantial advantages are also offered
such Immigrants as shall, before sail
ing, sign declaration as to the handi-
craft they intend practicing on their
arrival in Brazil. The Courier COM
plains that immigrants sailing from
Russian ports are never asked to sign
any declaration, and. therefore, when
they arrive in Brazil they find them
selves in the position of outlaws, de-
prived of all rig hts, and driven into con-
tracts which practically convert them
into slaves. The Courier accuses the
Brazilian government of connivance in
this fraud

FROM A NOBLE FAMILY.
Something of the Dead Count
Parish.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Dec. 27.-Count
Parisi, whose death occurred here
Thursday and was followed by the at
tempted suicide of his wife, came from
a noble family in Austria. His father
formerly occupied position of state in
the Austrian empire. He was forced to
retire on account of the burden of years.
But he still stands at the head of one of
the foremost banking houses of Austria.
Count Parisi was the younger of two
brothers. From his early years he
was of wild disposition. After
two years. service in the Austrian
army his parents fixed upon him
a liberal allowance, and a little over
five years ago he came to this country
and went first 10 San Francisco, where
his half brother is now Austrian consul.
He was married in Galveston, his wife
being at one time teacher of art in the
university at Galveston. A cablegram
has been received from the counts ia
ther ordering the body embalmed and
sent to Austria, and also, in case of the
death of the countess, to have her body
shipped there also. In case she sur
wives she is to go to her father-in-law,
there to take her rank. and station with
her husbands people. Another tele-
gram was received from New York from

A Long, Hard Struggle and Timely
Escape.
NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Sixteen ship
wrecked seamen were landed here to.
day from the German steamer ElbruZ.
Capt. Brown. They were the captain
and crew of fifteen men of the Amer
lean fishing schooner Graeie c.
Young, wrecked at sea early this month.
The Oracle G. Young sailed from
Gloucester, Mass, on Dec. /. She was
bound for the Newfoundland banks
after halibut. Immediately after leaV-
ing port she encountered severe
weather, and on the fourth day out
sprung leak. The men were set to
work at the pumps, but the storm In
creased and still further opened the
seams In the vessel. Her foremast was
carried away. and this mishap left the
schooner at the mercy of the seas.
Great waves washed over the craft and
swept her decks. The air was bitter
cold, and the water froZe as soon as it
struck the decks. This impeded the
work of the men, many of whom were
almost frozen TO death and had to
abandon the pumps. Only about half
the crew were able to work, and their
combined efforts could not prevent the
water from gaining in the hold. Capt.
Kenney Mcpherson, the commander,
decided to abandon the vessel
at the first favorable opportunity.
The crew were kept at work
day and night. A week elapsed
and it was evident that the schooner
was sinking. The men prepared to
abandon the vessel Oh the 18th when
smoke was seen in the horizon to the
east. Signals of distress were run up
on the main mast head and in couple
of hours the Elbruz bore down on the
sinking vessel and lay to for the pur-
pose of rescuing thescrew.
The schooner was provided with
seven dories and in these the sixteen
men put off to the rescuing steamer.
All these small boats were half full Of
water before they reached the ship. but
all hands were saved.

HASTINGS, Mimi, Dec. 27.-Lewis
SOmmerS, the murderer of Miss Mary
a. DietZen, had hearing in the district
court this morning, Judge w. r. Muir
dock. on the bench, E. G. Stringer for
defense and Albert Schaller prosecut-
ing attorney. SOmmerS, who pleaded
not guilty in June last, changed his plea
this morning to guilty, and put himself
upon the mercy of the court. The
crime is still fresh in the memory of
many readers Of the GLOBE. On Feb.
16, 1890, in the evening, at about Z
o'clock, while the people of this peace
ful city were vending their way to the
house of worship, the news spread like
wildfire that Louis SommerS had killed
Mary Dietzen. Hastings has not been
so fearfully shocked for many years.
Had the murderer been then
caught, he would have had
short shrift. Miss Mary A. Dietzen
and Emma,Link leaving their homes
shortly before o'clock p. m, with the
intention of spending the evening at a
friends house, were leisurely walking
along Second street, and were short
distance from the Everett school house
in the First ward, when Louis Sommers
brusquely passed them. Whirling as he
passed, he quickly fired four shots into
the body of Miss Dietzen, one passing
through the heart. Death was almost
instantaneous, the victims only agon-
lied cry being 'Oh! Lou" The muir
derer then fled, and soon people from
all parts of the city gathered at the spot.
AT 10:30 O'Clock Chief of Police Rich
ards and Sheriff Hyland boarded the
freight for Red Wing, where they caught
the culprit at 4 30 in the morning. His
only excuse at the time was his sur
passing love for her, and fear that she
would transfer her affections to some
other young man. Sheriff Hyland this
morning escorted the prisoner into
court, and from his appear
ance, one would believe that
he feared the worst. An affidavit of
exceptions was filed by the attorney for
the defense, and but one witness was
sworn in the case, who testified to the
good character of the defendant. The
county attorney made strong plea to
the court that the highest penalty pre-
scrlbed by law should be imposed, while
the attorney for-defenSe said merely
that they wholly relied upon the testi-
mOny and affidavit. After viewing the
testimony and affidavit. the court called
Mr.. SommerS and asked him if he had
anything to say why sentence should
not be passed, and he answered in
broken voice NO" The court then
make short review of the case and
said that IN his judgment this was not
one where the highest penalty should
be imposed, and gave him life SEN
tence to the state prison. The culprit
was taken to Saltwater this afternoon
by Sheriff Hyland and Deputy Axel
johnson.

to raise the tariffs to prohibltory pitch.
The representatives of the agricultural
interests in the committee have sup
ported prohibitive duties on manufact-
ures in the expectation that in return
they would obtain close market for

is stronger both in the chamber of depu-.

element, and will wreck the bill unless
their demands are conceded. A major

to impose duties. with drawback upon

LAURELS FOR LYMPH.
Koch's Remedy Proves Its Virtue
in France.

PARIS, Dec. 27.-Dr. Pean, in a lee
ture to-day at the st. Louis hospital on
the result of the Koch cure upon dis
eases of the throat, stated that three
patients had been given injections of
the lymph for affections of the larynx.
One of the three had been completely
cured. Another. who is suffering with
tuberculosis combined with pulmonary
LESSONS and laryngeal fstuIe, is pro-
crossing favorably, the fstul@ giving
evidence of healing. The third patient,
who had lost his voice, recovered it. No
treatment other than the lymph had
been used. 1t was, therefore, said DR..
Pean, clearly a remedy in effecting
cures, although, up to the present time,
it could not be claimed that any really
permanent cures had been effected. 1t
was, nevertheless, fact that notable
amelioration approaching cure had been
achieved. DR.. Pean's statement made
profound impression upon the large
audience Of medical men present.
