THE POPE'S ENCYCLICiL.
A Letter From the Vatican on the Present
Times.

NEW YORK, Oct 1.-The Times to-mor-
row will say The recent encyclical of Pope
Leo XIII on the Rosary, or beads, is TO be
read in every Catholic church throughout
the world to-day. 1t is one of the most i'm
portant letters issued by the present Pontif.
After commencing the recitation of this
prayer during the month Of October. the
holy father says: "The many and various
methods Of depravity by which the wicked
ness OF the age treacher0usly endeav0rs to
weaken and destroy In human souls Chris
tian faith and observance OF the divine
law which nourishes faith and renders it
fruitful are already too well known, and
now the field of the Lord Is almost every
where wilderness, as If through the breath
of horrld pestilence, through ignorance in
faith and through error and vice.
"The thought OF this Is made more bitter
by the fact that those who ought to do so
such arrogant wlckedness and evil Nay
rather the spirit by which this state Of
things is created very often appears to be
promoted by their Incidence or patronage.
Hence Ii Is, when such Is the case, that we
have TO depiors the establishment OF schools
for the training Of the mind and the study
OF arts In which the name OF God 10 not
mentioned or is vituperated.
I'VE have to depl0re license. daily grow
ing bolder by the means OF publication, OF
the raising of every sort of cry offensive TO
God and the church, nor is 1t less to be de-
plored that among many Catholics there Is
a remission of duty and an apathy which
IL not equivalent to an open abandonment
of faith tend to terminate In It, since the
practices of their life are nowise cons0nRnt
with the faith,
ITO him who considers this confusion
and destruction Of the higher interests 1t
Will not certainly be source OF wonder
that the nations are groaning beneath q
weight OF divine punishment and kept In a
state Of alarm through fear Of gieater
calamities."
His Holiness then tells Of the origin OF
this devotion and the many spiritual ad-
vantages that may be derived by those who
recite the prayers with fervor and faith.

the reasons for Claveland's reelection he
said Cleveland's administration was admit
ted even by the Republicans to have been
an honest one. Bonds were paid as fast as
they matured. nearly a hundred million
acres of land had been restored from wrong
fnl holders to the people. He turned over
the Government with almost hundred
millions of dollars In the Treasury in money
saved by his economical administration OF
affairs. The question then was what would
be done with the surplus. Now 1t Is where
shall the money be obtained for the expenses
OF the Government.
This year the estimated deficit will be
S52 900. 900, and the Treasury is actually
confronted with bankruptcy. The cause Of
this is the lavish and even unnecessary ap-
propriations by the billion-dollar Congress.
The present House is made to appear ex-
travagant because, in addition to the neces-
sary expenditure, Ii Is forced to pay an
item of S72 000, 600 left by the billion-dollar
the Republican Senate, while the Mckinley
tariff cuts off S50,O00,000 of national rev.
enue.
One instance where the Republicans re-
moved the tariff-namely, on sugars they
had by that same bill taken S15,000.O00
year for fifteen years from the people to
pay the sugar growers's bounty. This is a
clear case of making one class rich at the
expense of the country.
Stevenson declared that the tariff does not
regulate wages Theya re regulated bv the
law of supply and demand. Wages are higher
here because the lively American methods
of labor are more productive than those OF
the listless European w0rkmen.
Dealing with the force bill, he declared
its enactment would put into the Iield on
election day an army OF 800, 900 Federal office.
holders. to be paid from the treasury OF the
Government.
Ex-Governor Campbell made humorous
speech, in which he spoke Of Stevenson's
record as the creator of Democratic post
masters, relating an incident where the
present candidate for Vice-President had,
as favor TO him (CampbelD, decapitated
sixty-fye Republican postmasters in two
minutes. He regarded man Of that sort
as vigorous and true Democrat.
When the cheers following this statement
had subsded, Stevenson arose and said that
he considered that the highest compliment
he had received in his whole life. A number
OF other speakers were heard, and the affair
was great success.

GERMiN POLITICS.
Streng Opposition Against the Government
Being Aroused.
Copyrighted. 1892 by the New York Associated
Press

BERLIN, Oct. 1.-The Reichstag will re-
open on October %, and there will be pc
riod Of the gravest danger Of a Ministerial
crisis. The Government is determined not
to delay the presentation of the budget.
which includes credits arising on account
of the army bills. Bismarck's friends an-
nounce that he will appear as hostile
critic of the Governments proposals. In
view of the severe party struggle which is
expected, the leaders OF the different groups
are trying to range themselves. The Gov
ernment will rely on the coalition OF the
Conservatives and Centrists. The Catholic
electors are making somersault and re-
turning TO the Conservatives.
The Center party will doubtless bargain
with the Emperor and the Chancellor for
some advantage for the Catholic church In
exchange for their support. The peculiar
feature Of the position is that the Vatican,
with its leaninge toward France, does net
desire an increase in the military strength
of Germany. but finds itimpossible to inter-
fere OF advise the Centrists. The Cath olic
leaders, knowing the situation is delicate
one, are consulting the Vatican.
The Bundesrath finds difficulty in agree
Ing upon the taxation required to meet the
deficit and the new expenditures. The
Bavarian Government persists In its abso-
lutte refusal to agree to tax on beer. Herr
mated the proposal to force Bavaria into
line by placing an extra tax on Bavarian
beer consumed In Prussia, but his colleagues
in the Prussian Ministry hesitate to ap-
prove the suggestion. Such measure will
be certain ID cause intense Irritation in
Bavaria.
Whatever means the Government takes
to raise money, the Frsisinnige and Ma
tional Liberals are bound to oppose them.
Some independent CeBtrists and Conserva-
tives are joining them, and these will con-
stitute temporary coalition that will rem
der the Government majority insecure.
Three socialist municipal officials were
recently compelled to retire from their
positions under censure from their party.
The elections held to fill the vacancies gave
the extremists. who call themselves inde-
pendents,.a chance to show their strength.
The result proved them powerless when
opposed by the central socialist organiza-
ton, the candidates OF the latter being
elected by great majorities.
