CATHOLIC INTOLERANCE.
Canadians Forbidden to Read a Pa
per Under Pain of Displeasure of
the Church.

Montreal, Dec. 29.-The mandate
issued by the Roman Catholic bishops
Of Quebec forbidding faithful Catholics
to subscribe for, read, circulate or
otherwise encourage the newspaper
L,Electeur, published in Quebec City,
under pain OF being deprived of the
benefits OF the church." has created in
tense excitement throughout the
prov;nce and is denounced in strong
terms by the liberal French and En-
gIish papers. Mr.. Pacaud, publisher
of the condemned paper, will, il is
understood take an action for 5000
damages against each of the bishops
who signed the abandonment, number
of prominent men here have expressed
their willingness to subscribe towards
carrying the case to the privy council
if necessary. La Patrie, a liberal
French paper published n this city,
says: 1T is Mr.. Pacaud who was
struck. but Mr.. Laurier, who was
aimed it. 1t is the L'Electeur which
is assassinated. but in the hope that
the point of the dagger, after having
killed Pacaud win strike the first min
lister of Canada in a vital spot. The
execution of L'Electeur at Quebec is
and can be only the beginning of a
struggle to the death with the govern
ment at Ottawa"
Mr.. Pacaud says he viii cease the
publication of his paper and appeal
from the condemnation of the bishops
TO the Roman court.
The offense of L'Electeur consisted
in publishing pamphlet written by
Mr.. David, upholding the doctrine of
the supremacy of the state, in state
affairs, and denying the right of the
church TO dictate to electors how they
shall vote upon such a question as
that of the restoration of separate
schools in Manitoba.
