SOCIAL AND RELIGIOUS FUTURE DEMOCRACY.
Quite a sensation has been excited In political and clerical circles by the publication of a pamphlet written by the Archbishop of Bordeaux, and entitled “ The Social and Religious Future of Democracy.” It is an eloquent exposition and earnest defence of deemocratic principles. Democracy the prelate declares to be an irresistible movement which nothing can arrest. It will leave no room for despotisms, and, in ihe near future, government for the people by the people will be the universal rule. He pronounces the political tendencies of modern society to be Providential, and prophesies that In a few years democratic principles will have made the tour of the world, and will raise its down trodden races to the level of their already enfranchised brethren. Monsignor Gilbert recognises democracy as the twin sister of Christianity, whose virtues it must practise in order that its ascendancy may be beneficent and dnrable.
