Rome. April 1.-THE Marquis di Rudin. Prime
Minister. has apprised the Vatican that the exequa-
turs hitherto accorded TO Italian bishops will be
Withheld. unless the Pope permits Catholics to

Pope will not consent to enter into any negotia-
tons whatever on the subject
Reported rumors like the above are liable to con-
vey to the reader a wrong idea OF the relations be-

sent the italian Government as anxious for the
support OF the Pope and the latter inclined
to embarrass that Government. 1t should be
membercd that the italian monarchy-and It would
be the same were II a repubic-does not need the
assistance OF the clerical element to govern sue
cessfully the peninsula 1t Is an exploded and
obsolete idea TO think that In Italy, In Spain or In
France the Government caters to the friendly at
titude OF the bishops, priests and monks whose In
huence over The majority Of the people is a thing
OF The past In those countries the accusations
sometimes launched against the Ministers. OF be-
Ing clerical or anti-cerica are no more than
man9uvre OF the political parties bound to assail
each other. Leo XIII has never thought OF for
bidding Catholics to take part in public elections;
and this shown. for instance. at the last
municipal election at Milan where the so-called
Clerical candidates were triumphant. The we'll
known conciliaory policy OF the present Pope, and
his strong patriotic sentiments as an Italian. led

Pontiff by the Government But. among other evil
dences, his conduct in regard 10 the marriage OF
the daughter OF ex-Premer Crispi Is proof that
he accepts mild modus vvendi with the lay power
Of Italy. It would be strange that Leo Nil snoud
act more harshly that the Premier Is the
MARQUIS di Rudlni, a Conservative. and not a
former Garibaldian revolutionst. like crispL on
the other hand. Di Rudin Is too much OF mod
crate and a statesman to think OF bringing about
an acute quarrel with the Vatican by general
withdrawal OF exequaturs recently granted to the
bishops.
