A Blow at Liquor Men.

New YoRk. July ls.-Mgr. SaiOlli, the
Apostolic Delegate, has rendered : decis-
ion eondemning the liquor traffic. espec-
tally as ii Is carried on in the United
states. and approving the expulsion Of
liquor dealers from Catholic societies
This decision was called forth by an APP
peal from the railing OF Bishop Watterson
Of Columbus. Ohio. In the last Lenten
season Bishop Watterson addressed a let
ter to the clergy Of his diocese. to be read
before their several congregations, in
which he said:
" | hereby withdraw my appreciation
from any and every Catholic society in
this diocese that has a liquor dealer or
saloon-keeper at lis head or among its
officers, and suspend every such society
from its rank and privileges as Cotholic
society until il ceases 10 be so ofiicered, .
One of the societies laid the matter be-
fore Mgr. Satolli, " no snstains the action
of Bishop watterson, and says:
II. Bishops have the right and duty
to guard faith and morals within the linn
its OF their dioceses. The mere fact that
such decisions may be the cause of tenn
pOrsll loss does not justify opposition, as
the temporal must give way To the spirit
ual good. and private good must give way
TO public good.
~ The liquor traffic. and especially
as conducted here and in the United
States, is the source of much evil hence
the Bishop was acting within his rights
in seeking to restrict il.
-. Therefore, the Delegate Apostolic
sustains Bishop Watterson's action and
approves of his circular letter and regu-
latiOns concerning saloons and the expul-
sion Of saloOnkeepers from membership
in Catholic societies.
Rev. Alexander p. Doyle, of the Paul
inc Fathers, who is the general secretary
Of the Catholic Total Abstinence Union of
America, said to-day that the declaration
of the Apostolic Delegate is the most inn
portant ever pronounced by the church
i'm this country, and he thought its effect
would DE flr-reafhing.

pehs and his Pals in Isil

President Debs and his associates OF
the American Railway Union appeared
before the United States Circait Court in
Chicago, Tuesday, TO answer TO the pro-
esedings for contempt instituted against
them by the Government. The infor-
nation charged them with having ordered
strikes ON railway lines within the
jurisdiction of the Court subsequent to
the injunction Of July ,. in which they
had been warned against interfering with
interstate commerce or with the United
States mails. The charge was so well
fortified with telegrams as to indicate, as
the Court declared, ''apersistent violation
of the injunction" As a result of the
hearing the defendants were severally
held to bail in an additional sum Of Sg00j
each; and having refused TO furnish it
they were taken to Jail.
= number of bondsmen offered their
services, but President Dehs declined
them. lie said the principle involved
was one entirely too serious in lis nature
TO admit Of the defendants availing them
selves Of any technicalities that might be
regarded as loopholes in the laws.

There was gross imprOpriety in this
attempt on the part Of the Executive 10

branch of the Government. The COnsti-
tuition contemplates that when the Presi-
dent wants to address Congress he do ii
through message, but Grover Cleveland
treats this constitutional provision with
contempt. His latest method Of infiuene-
ing Congress Is wholly unprecedented,
and recalls Oliver Cromwell's treatment
Of Parliament. He assumes the right 10

tests in the history Of American politics.

volve upon the president in November or
December Of lssa5 To issue a proclamation
formally admitting Utah into the Union.
One remarkable feature in the latter stag

with which the two great political parties
have acted in favor Of admission. Meth

THE differences between the two fac

Senate and the House regarding the
tariff bill have not only been intensi-
fled but rendered almost if not entirely
irreconcilable by a most mai adroit let
ter written by the President 10 the au-
thor Of the Wilson bill. in which the
Senators who are responsible for the
changes in the bill as il came from the
House are accused OF party perfidy"
and party dishonor." That Mr.. Cleve-
land should openly assume the role Of
dictator Is not 80 surprising TO those
who have noted the manner Of man lie
is, but that lac should brand Senators
