forced to break a lance in favor of the
temporal power.
The irreconclables were delighted to
force a bishop to make declarations in
this manner, to humiliate him, so to
speak, by placing him in the witness
stand But by continuing to pull on
the rope in this way they may end by
breaking it, and in America the cord
has been pulled so hard for some years
that even the best disposed Americans
are growing tired Of it. That will be
seen at Rome, as usual, when it is too
late. A reaction is growing in mems
minds against this Roman tyranny,
carried to an absurd point, and such
that before long a man can hold no po-
litical, social historical or scientific
opinion that has not received the hall

it is presumptuous and arrogant
