THE TEMPORAL SOVERElGNTY. (FROM THE Fltl':NCH. *)
PAuL w·ILsTAcn.
·what remains after these eloquent words for me to say? Yet I would not h::we my si lence construe<l as desertion or weakness .
Let us remember that the temporal inclependence,an independence loyal and sincere,-is necessary to the exercise of the Pope's npostolic power. We cannot iesist too strongly upon this. It is necessary at once for the spiritual as well as the temporal magistracy. TIJe 0hltrch has been endowerl with a double mission : thaL of teaching truth and def~nding moral s; not on ly is s ll e the guardian of dogma but also of disciplinA; she is a teaching power and a power of direction. Jle et clo-cete . ... ... .
Though the Apostlrs were imprisoned, you recull every one of you, the victims of the l\1amartiHe, the Word has spread!
The Word of God is never enchained; narrow as may be the cells of its prison, angels shall lend wings that the Word may be carried to the extremity of the universe. This is what our glorious Poutilf Leo XIII. expressed not long since when he said, "If we complain it is not because we fear the assaults of our enem ie!:'. The Church has encountered many other tempest~, and she always emerges not only victorious, but stronger and more beautiful."
But Almighty God did not ordain his own to be prisoners. He not only said to his apostles •·Teach," He told them also "Go," Ite et docete. It is not suffieient that the Sovereign Pontiff have the possiLility of speaking; he must be able ·to send his word to the world, without being a t the same time exposed. He must own at least a spot of earth, he must possess at least a vestige of royalty, "un coin de te?Te, un lambeau de Toyaume," too small if yon wist for the exerc i:;e of powE:'r, but 1?-rge enough for the possession of litJerty.
Papal independence is necessary for the· teaching of truth. What a battle-fielcl spreads out before us; the enemies are numerous, ancient and furious. But, I ask you, how can the Sovereign Pontiff maintain the rights of justice and the eternal truths, if he have not tbe plenitud.e of his independence and his ministry? History tells us of bow t.he Papacy has defended morals at a ll hazirds, how the Popes have cast off empires and kingdoms, rather than to compromise one sy llable of the morality which they are to guard .....
Independence must be gained for Lhe dignity and security of Christian consciences. Listen to what has
*The 'toll owing is a translation of some passages of a speech delivered by l\11. Charles Jacquier before an assembly of Cath~lics, convened at Lyl'ns, France, to <.'X press thetr devotedness to the i:iovere1gn Pon tift.-P. W.
been said by Montalambert, the g rent cbampbn of a ll generous , Christitm causes: •·The condition sine qua, non for Catlwlic l i berLy is tl!e freedom 01" Uw Pope; foe if lhe Pope, tlte livin~· organ of CatJ1olie faith ancl law, be not free, we ceafe to be. We bflve a right to demand from the public, from th e government which represents us , and which we hrtve conRtituled,-we have a right. to demand 'tq~tl) they gunrauLee us botll a personal liberty in matters ot religion , aut! the liberty of him who is for us the living religion." ....

LES VRAIS CANADIENS.
L'Aa11ir Canuclien a traduit un arti l e de 1\ir. Ch us Dudley vVarner publié dans le 1-Itt~pe r's M'uyazi.11e , dans lequel l' au teur émet ses opütion~, fruit d' un " étude profonde, sur hL n tce canadienne fr<Ln•;a i>'e. Ou y voit un esprit impartial , j ugeanL des cl](J:::;es, au point de vue historique et politique, avec tad et, habileté. M. Dudley vVamer est 1111 dt' ces rares éer ivaiu :::; qui rendent justice à qu i de droit., in clépend:mnnen t des préjugés de religion et de nati onalité. Voic i eH
quels termes il s'exprime: On nous dit bien souvent que la nation canatl iennc
n'est que l a contre partie de la race anglaise. R ien n'est plus erroné! Un partie elu peu ple a de fortes tra~ ditions britanniques, et est loyale à ses institu tions; mais dans leurs manières et dans leurs vnel::l, les Canadiens ne sont pas pl us anglais que les citoyen s des Etats-Unis. Ils ont un developpement colonial qui leur est propre, et l 'oü remarque distinctement chez eux, un type ca:nadien , qni n'est ni anglai:s ni n.mérica.in. Cette distinction se fait remarquer surtout c: hez l a femme. La, :fille Oa.nadiP.nne ressemble ù. ] ';mJéricaine dam; son éloign ement de t oute uffect.iou , et cl:tnl::l sa confiance en elle-même, mais elle a comme L mglaise une voix bien modulée, et un e articu.lation distincte. D ans les villes, elle déploie dans snn Yêtement un goût et une certaine élégance qui, croyons-nous, n'appartient qu 'au No uveau-Monde. Ses tmits et ses mouvements dénotent qu'elle a subi une cer taine modification, t ant par l a rigueur d'n climat, que so us l'impulsion d'une plus gmnde indépendance .sociale. En un mot, il est inutile de faire des comparaisons qu'il suffise seulement de dire que la fem me can adienne est un type à part.
Mais il y a en Can acl <L une gmnde vm·iété de raees.

Ces qualités physiques ont chez eux ponr résultat de produire une génération virile. Ils sont enclin s aux exor cises du dehors, ils aiment la chasse et la pêche, et commcrent à ces amusemen ts beancoup plus de temps que nous, qui sommes plus sens ibles à l 'aiguillon des affaires. Les CanacTie ns ferai ent rl e h••ns S0lflnts. Pour ce qui est df) leurs sentim ents à l 'égard des Anglais, l'on peut affi rmer qu'à Montréal et à Toronto, on n'est pus plus porté à imiter le style britanniqLte c1ue nous n e le so~nmes ici ~·, New-Y orle: et les Canad iens se moquent bea. ucoup de de cette pré tcnclLw s upér iorité, et condes r;e n bn ee que l 'a ngla is <Lfli cltc cbns l e,:; coluuil•;.

There is one thing whi ch is not given its due imporLarree by our local base. ballist an cl that is base runniug. W e have ver_y few good base runners and it is simply becau se it is thought nothing off.

CATHOLIC N OTES.
The Episcopal title of Bishop Keane, of the Oatholic university, will be Bishop of J asso.
On June 8th. , 1890, Cardinal Manning, Archbishop of Westminster, London, England, will celebrate the 25th· anniversary of his Episcopal consecration.
Bishop Keane, the president of the new Catholic univerat Washington, has left Rome for Germany, where he wi11 visit the principal seats of learning, afterward visiting the universities of Belgium and France.
The R.ev. John Talbot Smith, a priest of the Ogdensburgh diocese, will succeed the late Patrick V. Hickey, as editor of the "Catholic Review." Father Smith is pursuing high ecclesiastical studies, and will receive a chaplaincy from Archbishop Corrigan.
General Sherman 's son, Thomas Ewing Sherman, who has become a member of the Society of Jesus, is to be ordained a priest in Philadelphia. A rrangements have been made, under which it is expected, the CPremony of ordination will take place in J uly in the Cathedral.
Information has reached Glasgow that the Pope has fo rwarded to Monsignor Campbell, of the Scots' College, Rome, a number of His Holiness' Jubilee gifts to ue presented to the Catholic Church in Scotland. They include the rich chalices and handsome copes, chasubles, and other eoclesiastical vestments. They are to be eli vided chiefly among the Cathedral churches.
We are informed by very reliable authority that one of the most important encyclicals ever issued from the throne of P eter is now in course of preparation by his Holiness, L eo XIII. This encyclical has already been no.ticecl, and it was said to be intended as an argument for the maintenance of peace in Europe; but it seems rather to be au appeal to the European nations for a final settlement of the question of the temporal power, which has of late excited the attention of the world.
The Rev. 11ichael P . Dowling, S. J., President for the past three years of Creighton College, Omaha, Neb.. lws succeeded Father Frieden, n ow Provincial of the Missouri Province of the Jesuits, as Rector of Detroit College . .Fath· er Dowling has erected at Omaha. a collegiate church of
stone, costing some $60,000, and a collegiate bnilding costing some $30,000, the debt on which building has been entirely cleared off. Father Dowling was born in Cincinnati , Ohio. on June 14th., 1851, and entered the Society of J esus, July lOth., 1860.
The King of the Belgians has jn~;t named Brother ..llex· is, of the Brothers of the Christian 8clwols, Knigllt of the Order of L eopold. This distinction is the just reward of the geographical works of Brother A lexis, who was the inven~or of the improved hypsometri c maps which are now used in aU the schools of :Fr ance and Belgium. These maps have won for the Institute more tllan twemy medals at different inter-national exhibitions. Three years ago Brother Alexis took the second place out of sixty competitors in the concourse of geography, for the prize of twenty thousand francs offered l>y King Leopold.
His Eminence Cardinal Gibbons and llight Eev. Bishop Keane have accepted an invitation to address the annua.J convention of the American Teachers' National Association, to be held in Nashville, Tenn., early next July. This is the most important eclucat.ional organization in Am eric::~.
and this invitation to two such distjnguished Catholi c prelates is a significant courtesy at this time and from such a source. The pa.rochia.J school will be explained and defended by the Cardinal and the Bishop, and great good must come to Christian education from the represent.ationH of two such able and eloquent ::tdvocates of the Christian school.
'-- · (North-Western Chronicle.) The lavv pt~lulgated at Berlin in 18'72, and directed a
gainst the Society of J esus has, so far from being prejudicial to the .interests of the Society in Germany, indirectly benefited the foUowers of St. I gnatius Loyola, ill that country. The status of the company in Dece~nber last shows that the German province conuts at the present moment 478 profess ::~d Father~. 212 scholastic:;>, and 3:l7 brotlH>rs. A I the time of the promulgation of the law agai nst them, tlw German Jesuits numbered only 764. They have thus received an ang1.nen tation of 225. Several of' the most aristocratic and aneient families of Germany are represented in the compan y. Of the tot:d nnmber of J eRuits of the 0en)1an province, 444 members art: engaged iu foreign mi~~ ions.

Tlw "0sserva.torc Homano." in publishing the Anneuian letter. draws attention to the stra.nge contrast between the action of the Italian Government and that of the Sultan.
