THE POPE GREATLY INCENSED.
Because the American Archbishops Con-

tinue to Fight Our Free Schools.
ROME, Dec 50. The holy tather is greatly in
censed at the opposition displayed against
Monsgnor satolli and peaceful and moderate
solution OF the school question in the United
States. speaking recently to one OF his conf
dants. the pope is reported to have
said: "They (satolIl's opponents) wanted
to force the holy see to retreat,
but the pope will not be repulsed." In docu-
men. which is now being prepared at the Vati.
can the prudence and wisdom W hitch Monsig-
nor Satoli displayed in his proposition for solu-
ton of the school question are spoken OF with
praise.
The fact that the holy see has addressed an
encyciicsl to the Italian people in the popular
tongue has caused much more comment than
the document itself. Il is the first time pope,
departing from ancient usages, has addressed
himself directly to the people This stepis re-
garded by close observers as fresh testimony OF
the more and more pronounced democratic
policy which Leo XIII. has brought about, and
also manifestation OF the revolutionary
changes which are operating in the central gov
eminent OF Catholicism. An influential car
dinal. recently speaking on this subject,
remarked: "The mouarchic era OF the admins
tration of ecclesiastical affairs is passing away,
and is being succeeded by popular and demo
cratic era"
