A PAPAL ENCYCLICAL,

His Holiness Will Soon Publish One ON the
Social Question.
PARIS, Dec. N.-Advices from Rome state
that the pope has finished the draft of his
encyclical upon the social question. His
holiness has been working upon the subject
for over q year and at his request the most
competent economists and bishops of diff
ferent countries, including America, fur
nished memoranda. The pope considers
the question the greatest of the present
time. The encyclical will be the crowning
acts Of the pope's work in this direction.
The date of publication is not yet given.
but the associated press correspondent is
enabled to give the substance of it now
The encyclical will review and expound the
whole question affecting wage workers.
First, his holiness will develop the general
principles upon which social economy is
founded and the dominant idea of the dis
tributive Justice which should regulate the
intercourse of men and the spread of
wealth. The pope says distributive
prevent misery and sweating on one
side and exhorbitant riches and tyranny on
the other. The second part comprises the
original cause of the present condition of
the social problem. On this point his holi-
mess takes a new thesis, first developed in
contains the views of the pops regarding
remedies beyond religious and moral influ-
enoe to be advocated. His holiness ex-
presses himself in favor of Intervention by
the state within the limits previously set
forth. He condemns politics az now organ
ized, and advocates moro equitable and
just distribution Of riches. The pope il
convinced that the papacy should lead in
the present social and democratic move
ment, and will appeal to all conservat ve
forces and TO pr0testants to AID in securing
the safety Of society.
The pope's physician says his holiness
may live for some time yet, as he has TO
bust constitution and is suffering from no
infiYmity.

We hope the republican statesmen in
congress will take notice of an election
outrage in Chicago. E. L. Brown, an
employee at the Pullman car works,
swears that the day before election
Superintendent Seasons inquired for
what aldermanic candidate he intended
to vote. Brown replied that he should
vote for Quinn, the democratic candi-
date. The superintendent tried to con-
vince him that Chasey, the republican
candidate, was the better man, but
Brown refused to be convinced. That
afternoon he again approached Brown
and asked if he had changed his mind.
Brown told him that he was pledged to
vote for Quinn, and that he should do
80. Thereupon he was warned that it
would be for his best interests to either
vote for Chasey or not vote at all.
Brown voted for Quinn and was at once
discharged. He asked his foreman for
reasons and was referred to Mr. Seasons.
Mr. Seasons told him to go to his friend
Quinn for employment, and, as Brown
says, quite definitely admitted that he
had been discharged for political rea-
sons. Brown also alleges that two other
employees were discharged at the same
time under similar circumstances.
Chasey is said to be the land or real es-
tate agent of the Pullman company.

Vining, which possesses remarkable
qualities. 1t is ductile, malleable, and
can be rolled. Its color is white, not
unlike silver or nickle, and it takes a
good polish. Its melting point is high.
It withstands the action of strong sui
phuric and hydrochlorine acids. 1t is a
non-conductor of electricity twenty
seven ounce piece subjected to So
light power was not magnetized i'll the
least. 1t is strong metal and has a
wide range for useful service for electro
cal purposes alone. Its non-corrosive
quality renders it a desirable metal in
the arts and manufacturers for statuary,
ornamental work for cars, harness and
building purposes. DR. Vining has given
chemistry and mechanics great deal of
attention, and has been successful i'll
many practical methods for variety of
purposes.

PRINCE BISMARCK does not And much

joyed autocratic power 80 long that the
deprivation of 1t tries him sorely. His
recent utterances on public affairs show
that he is loath to wholly relinquish
hopes Of influence, even as a private citi-
zen. Now, however, several German
newspapers admonish the former prime
minister to exercise caution, and it is
said that the young emperor is inclined
to positive action in the matter. 1t would
be odd, indeed, if Bismarck should be
