Washington, May 1S.-In reply to
some questions addressed through Rev.

Cardinal Gibbons, the Cardinal sent
the following letter:
Baltimore, May II, 1896.
Cardinals Residence.
My Dear Sir:-It is the duty of the
leaders of political parties to express
themselves without any equiyOcatiOn
on the principles OF religious freedom
which undPrhe our constitution. Cath
olics are devoted to both the great po-
liticSl parties of the country and each
individual is left entirely to his own
conscience. We are proud to say that
in the long history Of the Government
of the United States the great Catholic
church has never used or perverted its
acknowledged power by seeking to
make politics subserye its own advance
ment. Moreover. it is our proud boast
that we have never interfered with the
civil and political rights of any who
Q4u6f from us IL ltll6iO iO-l. we QtlIaLlu
the same rights fer ourselves and moth
ing more and will be content with moth
ing less. Not only is it the duty of all
parties distinctly to set their faces
against the false and un-American prin-
ciples thrust forward Of late; but much
IS | would regret the entire identified
lion of any religious body as such with
any pol.-ica party. l an convinced
that the members CT religious body
whose rights. civil and religious, are at
tackled. VIII naturally and unanimously
espouse the cause Of the party which
has the courage openly to avow the
principles of civil and religious liberty
according to the constitution.
Patience is a virtue But it is not
the only virtue; when pushed too far
1t may degenerate into the puslianai-
nous.

SPECIAL OHIO LAWS,
Declared Unconstitutional, VIII Not he
Reeaacted by "A Special Session of the
TerisIaturP

Legislature.
Special to the Register.
Columbus, O., May 1S-Attorney
General Monnett said to-day that he
did not think the decision of the Su
preme Court in holding all special laws
unconstitutional would necessitate
special session Of the legislature. 1t
comes so soon after the adjournment of
the legislature, said he. that no steps
have been taken under the laws and will
not be now. He thinks the new decision
will have a very wholesome effect upon
the legislation Of the State. He will
compel the legislature TO enact general
laws permitting the local authorities to
take action in local matters as they see
fit. In all cases where the issue Of To-
cal bonds was authorized by such laws
the proposed improvements will be
blocked by the fact that the bonds Will
not sell in the local markets. 1t is be-
lieyed that no bonds already issued Will
be repudiated under the decision, as
since by not objecting to the tax levy,
property owners become liable for II,
even though the law under which the
levy is made is invalid.
