H, STEWART, ED. AND PBOP. r WATSON ON ROUSE DEFYING LAW, Scathing Arraignment of RomeY Enmity of Democracy, Free Institution and Rights. In the Jeffersonian for Nov ember 9tb, Hon Thomas E. Wat son thus points out the essential ly treasonable and lawless spirit of the Roman hierarchy. Mr. Watson is not only an able lawyer and statesman; he is one of the best informed historical authors in America. His word therefore in reference to the treasonable . present attitude of the faithful 'sons of the Veazy law,, is worthy of the serious consideration of every true American: Some years ago, when the French republic annulled the concordat which Napoleon had signed with Pope Pius VII, and enacted, instead, a law which separated church and state, com pelling the monasteries and con vents to take out state licenses, and discontinuing the ten million dollar annual subsidy which the State paid to the Roman church, the rage of the American Ro manists was almost equal to that of the Italians, the Spaniards, and the Ultramontane French. Cardinal Gibbons shot xff his gun, as usual, and Bishop Keiley of Savannah was equally vehe ment. With a truculent insolence which was wholly unprovoked, Keiley declared that, if ever the State, in this country, au opted any legislation which the -toman church considered an inU-inge-ment on its rights, thocO laws worild be defied and resis .ed. In other words, the Roman church, which is foreign, in its constitution, its code and : :s gov ernment, will decide, for itself, what part of our legislation it Tvill obey, sit will acquire domicile in this tjotfntry, will srnbjts, much prop f Grty as it possibly can, will enjoy exemptions" from taxation as an American church, will claim for its votaries the fullest exercise of American privileges, and will exert its utmost efforts to control out law-making and our govern mental policies; but it will re main foreign, exclusive, tuid sup erior. to the extent of ,1 -fusing to obey such laws as the Italian pope adjudges detrimental as hi? interests. Thus, one church the only one which is ruled by foreign laws and a foreiern head will be partly American, and partly Eu ropean; partly subject to out laws and partly exempt from them; and we must allow this one church to expand, iutrench itself, and become irresistible, although it is the church ia exist ence or that ever did exist which has a monarchial code of laws, a monarchial politsal or ganization, a monarchial head, a monarchial government, and monarchial polity, in wb ch the laymen has no voice, no vote, no representation, ne power, and no method of protest against wrongs inflicted upon him by the hier archy. Can we conserve our republic an form ot government, it a foreign and monarchial ecclesi astical group of organizations jpartly public,, but mostly secret; partly religious, but mostly com mercial and political is permit ted to establish within ovr terri tory its peculiar institutions and branch-organizations, not, subject to our. laws? Can we maintain and perpetuate our democratic principJ-S, our civil and religious liberties if we permitan ecclesiastical monarchy to grow, unchecked among us a foreign monarchy whose laws are antagonistic to ours? Our system of government makes for individual liberty, just as the Protestant religion makes for republican forms of . government. No person can be held in cap tivity by a private institution, unless such confinement be con tinuously volutary on the part of the person confined. Consent to incarceration, today, floes not bind tomorrow,- Tomorrow's confinement must be justified by tomorrow's .con sent. - This is a sound and fundament al principle of Teutonic, Angle oaxon law, but it is antagonistic . ' . , . , & to the monatic law of the Roman ' n...V,,.1-- -I i The United States Constitution guarantees to each State a re- publican form of government; The fifst intitnation received and to each citizen, freedom from here that Emperor Francis Jo involuntary servitude, except as 1 uv u i u :,, u 1 eonh'c rioolrVi nroc arrom tVi c ciih. a punishment for crime, after legal conviction. And then the State owes it to herself to see that no private per son or private institution confine es, against his or her will, for labor or otherwise, any boy or girl, any man or woman. To the State belongs the right of visitation, as a part of her sovereignty and necessary police power; and this historic right she may exercise over all educa tional, industrial, charitable, and religious foundations. The State has the right to visit, inspect, and investigate all pri vate institutions, wherein per sons are held in confinement whether at work or not for the purpose of sanitation, and public morals, as well as to learn wheth er injjoluntary servitude, or forcible detention, is being suffer ed by any human being, in the name o religion. The Veazey bill goes no farther than the king has immemorially gone in England, in examing into colleges, charities, hospitals, con vents and, monasteries. The Veazy bill applies exactly the same process of state super vision to Romanist institutions, that it applies to Protestant in stitutions. But Bishop Keiley declares, in a published communication, that his foreign church will not obey his State Jaw. He says that he fpermit" one visit, under his own terms, at a time which he selects; and that, after this one visit, he will lock the doors of Rome's convents, monasteries, Gsod Shepherd sweatshops, etc., against the State. He insolently "says, in effect, that the sovereiga State has no jurisdic'.irn over manastic insti tutions, burn of a foreign law acd a fo ?i::n eurrch.

What gave some credence to the suspicion that his condition was much graver than the official bulletins' indicated was the re port, whicb still lacks official confirmation, that it had been decided to associate the heir to the throne, Archduke Charles Francis in the government of the country and that he was to as snme the position on December 2, on the sixty-eighth anniversary of the Emperor's ascension to the throne. - So far as is known here Arch duke Charles Francis is still . at the front in command of the army He was born on August 17, 1887.

CLOSING RUMANIANS IN NEW TRAP. From Transylvania Alps 'Region la Daneer of Mm Cat Off. Lonaon, Nov. 21. Austro-Ger-man forces pushing eastward through southwest Rumania have captured the town of Craiova and the Rumanians who are retreat ing down the Jiul valley and at other points from the Transylv anian Alps region apparently are in danger of being cut off. Troops of King Ferdinand in the Jiul valley have reached Fil liash but here they are outflanked by the Teutonic Allies at Craiova and without the aid of a railroad to convey them eastward, seem ingly must he caught on the plains of Wallachia in the vise of the Austro-Germans which is closing in on them both from the north and the south. Added peril to the Rumanians ia this region is noted in the con tinued advance of the Teutonic Allies on the Alt valley, south of the Rothenthurm Pass, where Petrograd admits the Rumanians are retiring slcwly southward. An advance eastward alongthe railway 25 miles to Slatina would give the Austro-Germans this important railroad town and com pel the retreating Rumauians in the Alt valley also to take the high roads in an endeavor to escape in the direction of Buch arest. Little righting is reported from any of the ether fronts. In the Somme region ot France a havy fog hung over the entire battle field Tuesday and nothing but artillery duels took place Bom bardments and minor infantry at tacks fc ave, occurred in the Italian theater.
