correspondent Of the Brooklyn Tablet
Since the accession Of His Holiness
Plus x to the Pontif1cal throne, the
powers of the world have risen up
against him in most virulent manner.
First of all, the Eldest Daughter Of the
Church, SO far as her government was
concerned, forgetting her glorious past,
and even the common graces of polite
ness between civilized nations, out
ragged the Pontiff in his dignity and his
office. in manner unworthy of a
drunken helot. BY a strange combin-
alton Of circumstances the public
press Of the world, which is lauded
as an influence for the maintenance
of justice and liberty, was mysterious
ly silent regarding the wrongs wrought
to Catholics in France and the gross
infraction done to the rights Of French
citizens. Even Catholic Journals, out
side of France and Italy, have taken
tconaparatively little heed of the In
lcreasing conspiracy of socialism and
anarchy and atheism, which over
spread France and aims at the up
roofing of the Christian religion from
that country, and is now active in
Italy, and is overrunning Spain with
a violence that threatens to land that
country into civil war.
international Anti catohIic Movement.
So evident is the. spirit that AMI
mates the present Spanish government
in it's conduct toward the Catholics in
Spain--for to touch the religious or
ders is to wound them in their rights
as Catholics and their liberty as citf-
zens-that it is asserted with a ve-
hen1ence that evidently comes from
knowledge that this anti Catholic
movement of the Spanish government
is urged forward and supported by the
International Secret Society, which
aims at the destruction Of Christianity
throughout Europe.
Catholic Spain Protests.
But the whole of Catholic Spain has
risen up in strong protest against this
attempt at robbing the people Of their
faith by the Generalization and de-
Christianizing of the schools, and by
the encouragement given to anarchists,
socialists anti-militarists and other
elements destructive to religion and to
public order. A very notable article
in the "Gaceta del Norte," after de-
scribing the ruinous policy-so far as
civil order and religion are concerned
followed by .Canalejas, concludes III
this plain and indisputable declaration,
which has a tone Of menace in it.:
I'm the Parliamentary Monarchy the
King. is irresponsible We accept the
constitutional farce. Nevertheless, the
King nominates and freely licenses his
ministers, and it is in that that his
responsibility rests. And outside OF
| it, before conscience, before history
and before God, no one can liberate
the King from answering for his acts
! as governor. And let him take care.
| therefore, not to SOW the wind IL ne
does not desire to reap the whirlwind; |;
since it is known of old that. the winds
! of revolution are closely followed ty
the storms Of dethronization."
It would be to name nearly every
Icity and town in Spain only to mention
the places in which protests Of indig-
nation have been given forth againgt

thing that rendered the people espe-
ciallys wrathful is that by shady line
