Republicans! but four days, excluding Sun
day, remain until the election. Let us make
them days of honest, faithful work. Tonight
a rousing Ratification meeting is TO be held
at Cooper Institute. The new Secretary OF
the Interior, one of our Senators, and other
prominent speakers, are to be present. Let
us have such a meeting as shall show that
Republicans are in earnest, and mean to
bring out their last vote in favor of munich

The formidable resistance made by the Illicit
distillers of Brooklyn to the large body of
troops which yesterday aided the Internal
Revenue Assessors in their duties, is sufficient
proof of the assertion frequently made, that 1t
was impossible to enforce the law in the dis
trict without the aid of the military authorl-
ties Fully thousand men composed the force
which yesterday made the descent on the
distillers, and they were none too many
to do the work fully and satlsfac-
torily. We trust the Government intends
to use all the power necessary to break up
this traffic in its stronghold, and the descent
lust made will be accepted as an assurance OF
such intention, not only by the public but the
distillers also. There are charges Cunfounded,
we believe) that Republican candidates Will
be injured by such raids now. Then let them

dates interests advanced by any collusiOn with

Papal Infallibility Discussed-Public Opinion

Infallibility Is now being much discussed
outside the Church as well as in Catholic
circles. The subject s more widely talked of
than understood, and many things are said about
infallibity that are essentially false In fact and
have no foundation to rest other than the heated
brains Of those who are constantly seeking for
doctrine or practice Of the Catholic Church on which
to vent their fury. An entire misconcepton of the
exact nature OF this important dogma appears to
adversaries.


is stated that infallbnlty means impecaability.
and that the PRONUNCIATION Of that doctrine Is a dc
.tacto canonzation Of the Pope and declaration
that he is perfection ITSELF ana that each and every
OF his private as well as oclal acts is to be declared
free from error Such Is not the case. Inallbility
simply means that the definitions OF doctrines and
morals as promulgated by the Pope in his onicial
capacity as Head OF the Church free from error
and must be received by the members Of the Church
as though they were promulgated by Christ himself
In person. The objection Is raised that the Pope
is but mortal and may himself err, and thereby
lead the church into error. But this objection Is
met at the start by the declaration OF Christ tnat
the gates OF hell shall not prevail against His Church.
