THE ILLINOIS COMBINE.
CLERICAL POLITICIANS.

HALIFAX, n. S, Feb. 4-The sensation
of the day here is Archbishop O'Brien 5
letter in the Halifax Herald defending the
I activity of the clergy in practical politics.
In reply to the criticisms of Bishop Cam
erson's support of Sir John Thompson.
and the threat of the bishops political en-
emies to appeal for protection TO the pope.
Archbishop O'Brien strongly defends the
right of the clergy to take an active part
in practical politics. He does not propose
that the church, the nursing mother of
modern kingdoms and which shaped the
legislation of civil Europe, should now
stand aside and leave a free hand and a
GEAR field TO scheming partisans to wreck
for their own selfishness the noble work
which she initiated, and over which she
kept guard for centuries.
The church" says his grace. does not
propose to be effaced in the political life of
the country. But there Is no fear of sJch
a calamity. The signs of the times point
to tue opposite pole-league with the peo-
pie"
The church broke the power of tyrants,
shivered the crushing fabric of imperial
ism, and gave long reign of prosperity
and social progress Latterly, however,
the world has been in the hands of politics
and political men. 4 pretty mess they
have made of things. Individual lib
erty dead, or fast dying, under the
law "a NcudnQ anu cuppA1 Nt4E
home life polluted by divorce;
the poor ground down by the tyranny of
money, and the specter of an avenginc
socialism terrorizes governments But
the church is girding up her loius once
more for battle. She is neither dead nor
dying. As of yore, she will league with
and will lead the masses TO victory over
combines and trusts and grinding mOnopo-
lies, and lift them as formerly TO a higher
plane of civilization and comfort. This
new regeneration will be well under way
before the end OF this century. The arch
bishop concludes with this significant
sentence:
The proud. fond love Of his country
finds place in the heart and engages the
attention OF the true priest. Were be a
traitor to his country and TO his social in
terests he would be unfit TO minister at
God altar. Hence. should candidate
Tor parliament advocate, say, unrestricted
reciprocity, and should a prelate con
scientiOusly believe it TO be the first step
toward annexation. and should have good
reason 10 believe that its promoters had
that result in view, viz, To destroy our
fsiT Cadadian nationality and 70 make Of
TINS country the fatteutng ground OF car
set-oaggeTs and traitors, should not be ad-
wise, eXort, entreat, aye, command his
people, who naturally could not see as far
as he, 70 vote against such candidates.

Interesting Capital Notes

WASHINGTON. Feb. 4-Several bills were
reported and placed on the calendar, and
then the senate went into executive ses
sion.
When the doors were reopened legisla-
tive business was resumed.
Ia reference 10 the presentation of peii-
tions as to the Conger lard BILL a collOquy
took place, going TO show that all these
petitions emanate from the same source
and go back TO that source before thes are
forwarded to senators; that they are dis
tributed from central agency, and that
Sbey seem TO he the result, not of a spon-
ianeous movement, but Of solicitation.
Apropos of the manner in which such
memorials are got up. and IN order, as
he said, TO show that ignorance as TO leg
lSlatiOu Is not confined to the farmers and
labor associations, Mr.. COckrell read the
resolutions of the Philadelphia Maritime
association protesting against the passage
by the house of representatives of the
senate bill of May, 1890, for the monthly
purchase of 4,3O0,0U0 ounces OF silver
There was no such bill, he said, passed
by the senate in May, 1890, and which
wiseacres in Philadelphia were meeting
and protesting against. He went on
TO criticise severely the views Bnd action
of Mr.. Edward Atkinson on the silver and
other economic questions.
Is criticism of Mr.. Atkinson was
~
gen lemen was a constituent of his, but
Mr.. Atkinson's political and economical
ailil atIOns,, were with the senators who were
iraducing him.
Mr. Cockrell (excitedly)-Who has been
traducin Mr.. Atkinson? VIII the sena-
tor please specify
Mr. Dawes-There is no occasion to
specify. ] assume that the effusions of
the senator this morning are perfectly
understood
Mr.. Cockrell (who had moved forward
from his own seat TO the middle aisle
near which Mr. Dawes sat)-Have ! said
word this morning that is not true and
Is that an eiiusion sir? Can ] not tell
what Democrat swore 10 under oath
without slandering himy
Il do not know about that Mr.. Dawes
remarked facetiously
The remark seemed to irritate Mr. Cock
rell to a still higher degree, and he shook
his forefinger angrily at Mr.. Dawes, de-
claring that IL was beneath that senators
position TO take such an undetermined,
Oackhanded way Of meeting the question.
This provoked general laughter.
The fortihcation bill was taken up and
passed.
The military academy bill was then
taken up and passed, but with one amend
ment.
The pension appropriation bill was then
taken up, and went over as the unfinished
business
After an executive session, the senate
adjourned.
