The Italian Situation.

The enemies OF Cardinal Manning
have spread the rumor that the pro-
paganda had sent letter of reproof
to the illustrious Englishman OH ac-
count of his socialistic letter to the
XIX. Steele, entitled "Rome Fran
caise." On the best information the
correspondent OF the Associated press
is able to deny this rumor. The So
cialistic action of the cardinals watch
ed at Rome with sympathetic inter-
est. The declaration OF the new Ital
Ian ministry has been received at the
vatican with extreme reverse. They
wait for the actions OF the new govern
ment before judging it. But they are
convinced that the cabinet will not
favor any new anti-religious laws and
that it will enforce with moderation
those now existing. An ecclesiastic OF
high position said recently:
The Italian government desires
peace. 1t will do nothing to wound
the vatican. 1t has need of us and
will therefore do nothing to offend us.
M. Di Rudini is personally favorable
to religious pacifcation and has plac-
ed Signor Chimini in the ministry OF
agriculture in order to have near him
one intimate with the high ecclesiastic
circles. Signor Chlmini has long been
In favor OF Cancellation and has urged
an arrangement between the quirinal
and the vatican. He is a personal
friend OF many prelates and of many
Catholics, especially of those who form
the conciliatory Roman party, and
who desire that the pope should per-
init the Catholics to go to the ballot
boxes and to save the monarchy and
the present unity by participation IN
political affairs. Before the last cleo
tion for the legislature this Catholic
party had increased It's pressure upon
the vatican and the pope, with the in
tention OF raising the interdict nj elet-
TIM elettori. Sig. Campello, the late
president of the Universe Romano,
had even made kind of an alliante
with Sig. Chimlni and his friends. The
friends of Sig Chimini and the concil.
fatory Catholics were to form q kind
of unique party, and support each
other warmly in the elections, but the
pope has put down therebellion ofSig.
Campello and the compact has been
broken for the time. Will it succeed
in the future? ! LIDO not think so. No
doubt the ministry has need OF the
vatican in order to save itpolicy. Sig.
Chimini has been added to the new
ministry in order to conduct the
Catholics to the polls, when, hunted
down by the party of the left, the
party of the right is obliged to dis.
solve the chamber and to consult the
country. The quirinal wants abso-
lutely a ministry and a policy of the
right out OF fear of the radicalism and
masked republicanism of the LETT.
They reckon, therefore on the sup
port of the Catholics, and the hope
that Signor Chimini will draw the
Catholic Conservatives to the ballot
boxes on the day when it is needful to
strike a great blow. The king and
the monarchists have never given up
their hope of inducing the Vatican to
abandon it's latent hostility.
Be therefore sure that sooner
or later signor Chimini and
his Catholic friends will make
new efforts to induce the pope to can.

1t is doubtful whether the pope will
yield. 1t is too late now for him to
change his policy. When Leo XIII
came to power he was favorably in
