A NEW PoNTIFIoAL DECREE.

A NEW PONTIFICAL DECREE.
An important pontiacal document,
reforming the organization and work.
ing of Roman Catholic congregations,
WAS made public in Rome yesterday.
II removes Great Britain, Holland,
Canada, and the United States from the
jurisdiction OF the propaganda, these
countries thus ceasing TO be considered
missionary lands.
Besides reforming the propaganda,
the pOntificsl decree introduced remark
able notifications in the other congre-
cations.
The document consists OF three parts,
the frst being an apostolic cOnst tuition
recognizing the congregations through
more suitable division of subjects
and eliminating the duplication of au-
thority, and the second is special law
for the regulation of the labors of the
ancient rOts and ssgnsturs tribunsb.
The most important part of the re-
form is that both civil and criminal It'll
cations are removed from the jursdic-
ton of the congregations and intrusted
to the tribunals of the rots and Of
The segnstura, the congregations only
retaining disciplinary powers.
A new congregation regulating dis
cipliDe and sacraments is created, its
duties including also questions regard
ing marriages, while the dOgmalic side
of the sacramenls remains under the
jurisdiction of the congregation Of the
holy Office, which includes mixed mar
riages. The pope remains project of
the holy Office.
The reforms will become operative
next November. The rota will be sn
international cOur,, with ten judges,
aud besides the Italian, French. Aus
tralisu, Spanish, and Portuguese judges,
it will now have one English-spesking
Judge. The segnsturA will be entirely
composed of cardinals, Of which the
number is yet uncertain.
The practical result of the new con-
ditions is that the countries removed
from the Jurisdiction of the propaganda,
instssd of applying to the propaganda
for decision of all questions, must spply
to suitable congregation.
The creation of new dlOceses snd the
appointment of new bishops will be dealt
with by the pspsl secretary ofstate, after
which they will be sent in trust to the
congregation of the consistory to csrrg
out the decision. While at present all
questions are gratultously dealt with by
the propaganda as established for mis-
sionary lands, after the reforms 90 into
effect the payment of the usual fees will
be exacted.

To "Dry" Los Angeles

Los ANGELES, April especial correspond
ence)-There is movement on foot to put Los
Angeles in the Prohibition column. The Com
mittee of twenty-five, appointed recently at a
mass meeting to lay plans for the campaign, met
today at lunch, at the Federation Coffee Club
The Rev. w. W. Logan of the United Presby
terian church was in the chair Among those
present were Dr. C. Elwood Nash, of the First
Universalist church; DR.. E. P. Ryland president
of the Church Federation; Mrs J. H. Blanchard,
president of the Womans Parliament of Southern
California; Mrs Mary E. Garbutt we'll known
Socialist writer; Mrs. Wheat, Dr. Clark, DR.. Eng
strom, Wiley J. Phillips, editor of the California
Voice, Reynold E. Blight, associate minister of
the Los Angeles Fellowship, and other we'll known
citizens. A call was drafted to the churches and
temperance organizations asking them to send
delegates to great mass meeting to launch the

A more crushing answer to the Champions
charge could not be made than this statement of
Abraham Lincoln himself
To have so used liquor Would have been a moral
impossibity for Abraham Lincoln in the face
of his utterances and the practice of his life of
warning young against the use of liquor.
The late Captain ] r. Fitch of Evanston, Ill., re-
lates that after Mr.. Lincoln's speech at Leaven-
WORTH Kan, in the winter of 1859, Mr.. Lincoln
and friends, among whom was Captain Fitch then
young man, were invited to the home of Judge
Delahay where Mr.. Lincoln was entertained The
refreshments included wine of which almost
everyone except Mr.. Lincoln partook "The next
day. wrote Captain Fitch some years ago in the
Northeastern Christian Ad5ocdte, "we escorted
him back to the train; and, to my dying day, |
shall never forget our parting. | was only twenty
two years old. Mr.. Lincoln bade each one
good-by and gave each hearty grasp of the
hand. He bade me good-by last and, as he took
my hand in both of his, and stood there tower
ing above me, he looked down into my eyes with
that sad, kindly look of his, and said: "My
young friend, do not put an enemy in your mouth
to steal away your brains
Mrs. La Sale Corbe Pickett widow of the
famous Confederate general who was appointed
a cadet to West Point through Lncons influence
in interesting article on her husband in Nc
Clnre'S Magasine for March, presents the follow
ing important letter from Lincoln. "In one of
the letters which the young cadet" writes Mrs.
Pickett, received from Mr. Lincoln soon after
entering West Point is the following passage:
81 have just told the folk here in Springfield
this 111th anniversary of the birth of him
whose name mightiest in the cause of civil lib
erty still mightiest in the cause for moral re-
formation we mention in solemn awe, in naked,
deathless spendor, that the victory
call complete will be that one which pro-
claims that there is not slave or one drunkard
on the face of Gods green earth. Recruit for this
Victory.'"
The men closest to Abraham Lincoln while he
was President were his private secretaries. Two
of them, John Hay and William o. Stoddard, de-
clare that Mr.. Lincoln never used liquor in any
form, and Mr.. Stoddard declares that the liquor
sent to the White House as compliment to the
President sent by him to the hospitals.
Mr. Stoddard in his volume entitled "Inside the
White House in War Times after speaking of
the general use of liquor feature of the social
life of Washington, says:
There is nothing of the sort in the White
House at present, for Mr.. Lincoln is strictly ab-
stineHt to all Intoxicating drinks. His first
printed paper, written while a mere boy, was
vigorous denunciation of the evils produced by
whisky among the settlers in the backwoods of
his then own state of Indiana. We to dine

widows wall continued to break the sad silence
that ensued. These were the price, the inevitaRlss
price, paid for the blessings it bought.
Turn to the temperance revolution. In it
we shall find stronger bondage broken viler
slavery manumtted, greater tyrant deposed-in it
more of want supplied, more disease healed more
sorrow assuaged. By it, no orphans starving, no
widows weeping; by it, none wounded in feeling
none injured in interest Even the dram maker
and dram seller will have glided into other occu-
patons gradually as never to have felt the
change, and will stand ready to join all others in
the universal song of gadness. And what
noble ally this to the cause of political freedom
With such an aid it's march cannot fail to be
and on till every of earth shall drink in rich
frution the sorrow -quenching draughts of perfect
liberty Happy day, when-all appetites con-
trolled all passions subdued, all matter subjugated
mind a-conquerng mind, shall live and move
the monarch of the world Glorious consumma-
ton! Hail. fall of fury! Reign of reason, all
hail!
"And when the victory shall be complete
when there shall be neither slave nor drunkard
on the earth-how proud the title of that land
which may truly claim to be the birthplace and
the cradle of both those revolutions that shall have
ended in that victory! How nobly distinguished
that people who shall have planted and nurtured
to maturity both the political and moral freedom
of their speces!
AS the beginning of the downfall of slavery
came within a quarter OF a century after this
prophecy was uttered, and in its downfall Lincoln
himself was an important factor, it may be that
within the next quarter of century will come
the downfall of the saloon and that in this victory
Abraham Lincoln through his utterances on tenn
perance, may also be an important factor. Doubt
less the liquor dealers and their allies recognize
the moral power of Abraham Lincon's utterances
against intemperance and SEEK even by discredit-
ing his memory to break the force of those utter
ances; but the words of Lincoln live and possess
living power.
AS Lincoln himself declared in his speech de-
livered at the White House September 20, 1862
in addressing committee of the Sons of Tenn
perance, "Intemperance is of the greatest, if
desired its overthrow as he desired tie over
throw of human slavery. While there is no pub
lie utterance made by him that he Prohibi-
ZIONIST the utterances he did make and the habits
of his life would give credence to the statement
of Major J. B. Merwn that on the morning of
his assassination, April IA, 1865, Mr. Lincoln at
the White House said to him: "After reconstruc-
tion the next great question will be the overthrow
of the liquor traffic" Whether Mr. Lincoln made
that assertion or not, it is true, and the person
is doubtless now living who in some way will
sign the death warrant of the saloon as Abraham
Lincoln signed the death warrant of human
slavery in America when he wrote his to
the Emancipation Proclamation.
