TO AMERICAN CATHOLICS,
Summary of Pope Leo's Encycllcal-Advice to
the Faithful.

summary of Pope Leo's Encycllcal-Advice to
the Faithful.
London, Jan. 27..-rhe Standard will
print tomorrow ~ summary OF the pope's
encyclical letter to the American bishops.
The letter opens with the words, Lon
glnqua oceanlspatia." 1t recalls the fact
that the pope associated himself with
the celebration OF the 4OOth anniversary
OF the discovery OF America, the cvanae-
'lzation OF which wax the first care of
Columbus. and was assisted by the
franciscan and Dominican monks and
Jesuit fathers.
After pointing out that the first Cath
clio bishop in America was a great friend
Of George Washington. his holiness shows
how the Episcopal councils, aided by tho
breadth Of views and equiety of A,neri-
can laws, assured the dsvelopement Of
Catholic institutions in America. 1t was
to contribute still more to this develop
ment that the pope had founded the
UNIVERSITY 1T Washington, for it was OF
Importance that Catholics should be in
the front rank Of education in the SCI
snces-even tho modern sciences. provi-
ded that they were harmonious with the
integrity Of the faith.
To this end his holiness exhorts all
Catho'ics to do all IN their power to
encourage the progress Of the university
IN Washington as well al the North
American college in Rome. As regards
the apostolic delegation to the church in
the United States, the pope says that it
was instituted with q view to drawing
closely together the bonds between
the Catholics OF America and the holy
see, without, IN any way, %curtalling the
powers OF the bishops. His holiness
urges the American eplscopate to but an
end to all strife, and to instill the idea
OF the unity and the perpetuity Of mar
rage among the faithful, and to inculcate
among the people the civil and religious
virtues.
he urges the bisoops to turn aside tho
workingmen's associations from viola
lions OF the law. He asks them to teach
newspaper men to respect religion, and
finally to turn the Protestants to Cath
ollclsm by charity, by instruction in the
doctrine o the Catholic church and BY
leading exemplary lives.
His holiness recommends. in eonclu-
sion, the sendins OF missionaries to the
! Indians. 81

Ihe Presidents Message.

3AdH
We give to our readers today the
presidents financial message in
full, sent to congress yesterday.
The mountain has labored and
brought forth 9 mouse. What n
new suggestion has Mr.. Cleveland
made to congress in this document?
1t is the same old rshash of the
money devils demand that thirty
billions Of debt be paid with half
a billion Of gold! We want to call
special attention to his demand
that import duties should be paid
in gold:
Az q constant means for the maintsn-
ane Of = reasonable supply OF gold IN
the treasury u duty on imports should
be paid in gold, allowing all othsr dues
to the government to be paid IN anv
other forn OF money.
If we had a ten-year-old boy who
would make such a suggestion as
the above we would consider him
q fit subject for the insane asylum.
Suppose such q law raj passed. A
man who has import duties of
$1,000 to pay, takes his $1,000 in
greenbacks to the custom house in
New York City and tenders them
in payment of his duties. The
collector says: "No sir, We receive
nothing but gold here" Cali
right" says the importer. He
steps across the street to the sub
treasury and presents his green
backs add demands gold. and re-
turns and pays his duties in gold.
The government has not gained
nor lost a single dollar in gold; but
has simply transferred it from one
cash drawer to another. Now was
not that a bright idea to be put
forth by the president Of the Uni
ted States?-Independent.

To read tho interview one must
conclude that either the interviewer
or Hare himself. is : tenderfoot.
Among other statements il one
that from thirty to fifty per cont Of
the calf crop is yearly rustled.
This would make ono believe that
our citizens are as dishonest as the
public officials in the eastern part
of the state.

tative Hare is an iteusrant paper

SENATOR Allen has introduced q
resolution favoring the annexation
of Hawaii aud demanding that the
government send war-ships there
10 protect our interests. Senator
Vest has introduced q counter-res-
olution which upholds the action
# che administration.
The populists oil support the
Allen resolution, and it is thought
that many republicans also favor it.
The voters will finally realize
that the Peoples party is the only
national and truly American party.
A party that demands The rights
of the nation everywhere and will
not humble ITSELF in allowing for
eign nations to dictate our fnan-
cial policy.

A BILL has been introduced to
prevent calf rustling. It prohibits
the branding or selling Of stock
between the first of December and
tenth of May, except that any
owner OF stock may brand on his
own premises at any time provi-
ding it is done in the presence Of
two responsible witnesses. The
penalty. for a violation of this act
is a fine of from $25 to 500, or by
imprisonment not to exceed six

That was a neat trick of niece,
used during the resubmission fight,
to show up members who wore act

You mon who made pledges to
secure your election need net stand

made before election. are like plat
forms to railroad cars, only made
to get in on" Wilson, Of Fall
River, bit, and admitted that he
had pledged himself to resubmis-
sion before the election. Mr.. Will
sou has been known as a prohi-
bitionist and, al one time, made q
strong fight against the saloons Of
Hot Springs. Many supposed
that his prohibition record would
defeat him. It can now be seen
why it did not.

SINCE Dakota went republican

gone ----, republican papers
have had a rocky road. News has
been scarce, and few chances to
strike a Pop. Under the circum-
stances our lone member from

pers should get together and out
line q plan of attack, or get up a

ample, take our exchanges Of the

NEWPORT WINS
Recommendation Of BattleShip Board In
Its Favor.
THERE Is A PROvIsO. HOWEVER.
anted.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., December D.
1t Is learned that the Examining Board
has recommended TO Secretary Herbert
that he recommend a congressional APP
preparation for the construction Of four
more battleships Of the Kearsarge type
in order that contracts for their construc-
ton may be awarded to the three bidders
for building the vessels authorized by the
last Congress. and thus secure the advan-
tage of the economical proposals made.
The recommendation was submitted infor-
mally by members OF the Board Of Bureau
Chiefs. and were not embodied in their
formal report, the decision having been
reached that IL was outside the province
Of the board to make such recommen-
called upon TO examine and report upon
the bids. Nevertheless the suggestions
will have all the force OF a formal report
in which form they would probably have
been embodied II consistent with the func-
tions OF the board.
The recommendation OF the board. az
shown in the formal report is that the
bids OF the Newport News Shipbuilding
ana DlN-Doch Company ipi tohHAib'tAHS
the Kearsarge and her mate on plans pre-
pared by the Navy Department be accept
ed: provided however that the Union
Works. OF San Francisco. be given
the opportunity Of scaling its bid 10
figure acceptable to the Secretary, in
which event II is recommended that the
Newport News Company be given the
contract for building one ship, and the
Union Iron Works the contract for the
other.
In the informal. but nevertheless semi
official. manner previously noted. the Sec
retary IS urged TO consider the report,
and its r 'Ommendation, as contingent
only on his rejection Of the plan pro-
posed cor securing six battleships in
place of two.
How much this radical proposition has
impressed the Secretary cannot be ascer-
tained. as he has given no hint Of his
views on the matter The suggestion.
however. will undoubtedly be given con-
sderation by the President and the Cabi-
net before Mr.. Herbert acts. should he be
inclined TO look upon 1t fayorably.

course to be pursued. This was 10 APP
point a loan commission. with power to
issue certificates to an unlimited amount,
at the rate OF per cent, with a i-l6
commission.
After going into session the following
resolution was Immediately adopted:
Resolved. That a committee OF i've be

ing upon the adoption OF the fore
going resolution. the substance Of II was
at once cabled 10 leading London
brokers. and TO this action Is attributed
the strong opening OF the American mar
kets there.
AFTER the anJouFnmcht or tO-hay 'feaf-
ing-House meeting, President Tappen
said 'Our action to-day was taken pure
~ as preventive measure. We want 10

on the occasion a similar action by the
