Our Holy 1 Father j Lea; yill., feai.iog lest in the v» : arfarie that has been' introduced among 1 v ! the.lrisH in the contest between landlords anct tenants, and which is commonly; called the Plan of Campaign and in a kind .of /./ . social interdict called boycotting, arising from the same, considering the true sense of justice and charity might be perverted, ordered the supreme congregation of the v-r.r, Tnqmsition to subject the matter toseiioiis ).: ? ;’;'and careful examination. Hence the tolj y ’{/lowing was proposed to their; Eminences >;‘f ; ;-Ihe’Cardinals.of that congregation : —‘ls it permissible in disputes between knd’i 1 lords and' their tenants in Ireland to use -fe '/* the toe’ans known as Plan of Campaign and boycotting V After a long and deliberation their Eminences, j*) \ Tijl animously ? ansy/eied in the cegative,* and their decision was confirmed by the ' Holy Father on Wednetday, the 19th ot the present month. The/justice of ti e? ; decision will be readily seen by anyone-

who applies his nimil to consider that the f v rent agreed upon by mutual consent c.ip,J - riot without'Violation of the contract fee .... diminished at the mere will of the tenants: especially when there are tribunals ap* .... pointed for settling such controversies and t reducing unjust rents within the bounds i y of equity, after taking into account the causes which diminish the value of land*

Neither can it be considered peimissible that rents should he extorted from tenants

> and deposited in the hands of unknown pefsbni tb ! lhd detriment of land-owrierh.; ....... Finally,' it is. contrary to justice . arid charily to persecute bj social, interior q !i those,who are required to pay the rents they''agreed to pay. It therefore, ' ‘Be your lordships’' duty prudently, bui effectually, to advise arid exhnrl’ the clergy . 'andluitynot to transgress these of Christian charity and justice, while

they are striving; for a remedy for their distressed condition. Rome, April 20th, 1888.”

.It will be seen that in this the Pope makes no mention of the National League The Nationalists have determined to continue the Plan of Campaign in spite of the Papal Decree. Mr Dillon spoke at Horbertstown on 27th April, and said the Pope had oniy an imperfect knowledge of the facts, and that justice .and necessity combined to condemn the interpretation of the Holy Father. The common sense of mankind would be found superior to the instigations of the Propoganda. A Dublin despatch of April 30th the irritation caused, by the Pope’s decree against the plan of campaign is manifesting itself in strong antipathy to Monsignor Persicoj on whose report the decree ia based. In the neighborhood of the convent where the Papal Emissary resides, people who formerly saluted, him with respect, refuse tJ recognise him, and the local bakery refuses to furnish bread to tb" convent while the Monsignor resides there. The-Decree caused an extremely bitter feeling among the Nationalists, who indignantly resent the Government with the Vatican', While'the' Conservatives and Orangemen are uneasy,; Tearing that in return for the Pope’s action, Government will make concessions in connection with the educational question, which concessions 1 tjhey are determined to oppose. A despatch from Rome, of April 29th, says the college of the Holy Office was charged to examine Monsignor Perisco’a report and decide whether Catholics who belong to the National League are guilty of sin and debarred from absolution. The congregation, the Pope presiding, replied in the affirmative and drew up a decree to that effect. Cardinal Simeo forwarded it to, Ireland with special instructions to Monaignpr Persico and the Irish Episcopacy when instructing the clergy to enforce it, to inform them that they must refuse; absolution to anyone declining to renounce rasmbership in the League. In accordance with an order of the Pope, a special commission of cardinals is examining lrish affairs, and an agitation is now going on with the object of taking further steps, and perhaps revising what has aiready been done. i,Mr. Gladstone thinks the decree will strengthen the cause of Horae Rule. —Archbishop Walsh, now in Rome, declares his readiness to submit to the Pope’s order, but will resign his .diocese rather than act in - opposition to his conscience. Should he resign it is rumoured that ha would be craated a cardinal.
