liepe In God, 70 cooperate In the work
Of the salvation OF the human race.
The world, he says Is passing through
perilous times. lie points especially to
the growth Of divorces and the preva-
lence OF such liberty and disorders that
make the people drift away from God.
Wars and great ornaments, he holds,
have tendency TO make the poorer
fear oppression, and anarchy ia the
result
The pope so far from admitting the
correctness OF the optimistic view that
the world today is better than ever and
Is steadily improving, asserts that the
contrary is the true condition. He is
quoted thus:
Never has humanity found itself In
more miserable condition than at pres
ent. There is disorder In all social rela-
lions and especially In family relations.
Excessive liberty has been created
which has fostered socialism and an
archism. Unjust wars are being waged
by strong nations against weak and
feeble people, There are exaggerated
ornaments among great nations the
effect Of which is even more disastrous
than war, All these things have Great
ed worldwide dlsquletude. Unceaslng
troubles and misery have provoked peo-
pie 10 anarchlsm, which henceforth
promises to constitute formidable
party Of malefactors leagued against
emperors, kings and presidents Of all
governments, These governments must
adopt decisive measures for the defense
Of genuine liberty and must enforce the
teachings OF religion"
Some will, no doubt, dismiss this
voice Of warning as the mournful plant
OF man In the shadow OF the valley OF
death. to whom the bright sunshine Of
the world is only a memory although
1t Is as brilliant as ever, to those who
have not yet entered the narrow vale
between the present and the hereafter.
But the truth IL that the Roman pontiff,
with remarkable clearness and holiness
has touched upon some prominent de-
feots Of our civilization. and pointed out
the only remedies--the defense Of real
liberty and the teaching Of religion.
1t should be added, however, that the
religious remedy cannot be looked for
In Romanlsm, neither in the orthodox
form nor In the numerous modified
forms known as Professionalism. They
each and all have had their time ana
their usefulness, They have had their
mission each in its own age and under
the peculiar circumstances that called |
them forth. II is not part Of the plan of
Providence TO remodel old institutions |
Tor special purposes as old houses and |
ships are reconstructed, to serve new
purposes. Behold l make all things
new" Is the rule in the kingdom OF |
heaven. Truth is eternal, and cannot
therefore become new. But the forms
under which II Is presented varies with
the varying needs of the human family,
as forms of life vary in the different
epochs Of existence, And as God alone
KNOWS what forms are best adapted for
each dispensation, man must always
look to Him for guidance in that mat.
ter. There must always be revelation.
For without that man is apt to fall in
Just that condition which the Pope de.
plores.

The American people will be loath TO
believe that any Of their representa-
tives In Congress can be bribad by the
agent OF foreign government. Far
better that the country should never
expand at all than that there should
be any faint OF corruption In the
methods by which expansion is accom-
plished Perhaps the representative
OF the Danish government is mistaken
in assuming that any American con-
gresham would be so base as TO sell
his influence for money. He is repre-
scented as stating In his report that h.
gave n dinner In Washington to some
of our statesmen, at which he assured
them that they should have a share
OF the commission for the sale" OF the
islands. That Is distressing alega-
ton, but. painful as II IL the house OF
representatives should probe It thor
oughly The country cannot afford 10

Mr.. Richardson was careful a dis
claim any Endorsement OF the charges
made by this man Christmas, but for
the honor OF the house he wanted an
opportunity given every member TO
clear himself from suspicion OF con-
nection with the scandal. II IA not
improbable that Christmas used names
without warrant, and that his talk OF
spending large sums for the purpose
Of corrupting Congress and Substituting
the press was wholly for the purpose
Of bleeding the Danish government.
II is possible that he was himself VIC
timized by sharp lobbyists who sold
him Influence they did not possess.
That Is as likely solution OF the mys-
terry as any.

The jury in the case against Joseph

guilty yesterday afternoon. Machutes,
few minutes afterward, was called to
the bar and formally discharged by
proclamation. The verdict was in the
nature of a surprise not only to the
commonwealth but to the attorneys for
the defendant, who did not expect a
better verdict than manslaughter. The
crime with which the defendant was
charged was the beating of Stanley
Moleski on Empire street, Wilkesbarre,
on January 2S, 1902. Moleski died
from the effects of his injuries several
weeks later, and his dying declaration
stated that the fatal blow had been
dealt him by Machutes.
