COLUMBUS, o., December 23.-Ihe
ForaAer Republicans carried the war
into Senator Sherman's home last nigat,
when the Mansfield Trades Assembly
adopted vigorous resolutions against

ing eight hours day for. govern
ment employees; that he voted against
the bill establishing bureau OF labor
statistics, aud by many other acts pro-
claimed himself the enemy OF labor. The

appeal to the members OF the OF the Leg
islature TO unite upon some other person
TO represent our interest In the United

ests are in harmony with the wage work
ers and wealth-producing classes"

ROME, December 23.-The Pope delivered
an address at the annual reception OF the
Sacred Heart Collegento-day. Referring
10 the labor encyclical. he said that be was
gratified that the document had produced
a marked movement among the working
classes toward the Holy See.
His object in addressing the French
Workmen's Pilgrim. { has been 10 render
the encyclical more effective. He had de-
signed similarly 10 address PilgrimaRes or
ganized in Europe and America.
But the visits of bodies Of workmen had
been suddenly stopped by undlgnihed
means. already known TO the world. The
Italian Government had nothing 10 fear
from the behavior Of respectful persons
coming 10 Rome TO pay homage TO the
Pope.
Among them were neither agitators nor
disturbers of peace. The word OF the Pope
had always been the word Of peace, sweet
ness and charity. Even when The occupant
of the Holy See demanded his rights and
claimed independence his claims served
the cause Of peace.
The adversaries Of the Church strove 70
defeat its noblest and most Oenehcient
undertakings oacause they foresaw these
undertakings would heigbten the glory and
influence OF the Papacy. Nevertheless the
Papacy would persevere in its mission OF
peace. salvation aud redemption, even %
the advantage OF its adversaries.
