The Pope, in his recent letter on educa” tion to the Catholic Hierarchy of England, commends the great vigilance of the clergy in looking after the Christian education of the children of England. He says: ‘‘The future condition of the state depends upon the early training of the children ; the wisdom of our forefathers and the very foundations of the state are ruined by tho destructive error of those who would have children brought up without religious edu- cation. You see, therefore, venerable brethren, with what earnest forethought parents must beware of intrusting their children to schools in which they cannot receive religious teaching.”
According to the Oldham Chronicle, the financial condition of the great cotton spin- ning mills of that place is deplorable. A review of the business of 1885 shows a deficit of over £2,000 for every 70,000 spindles, or $1.40 per spindle, about one- quarter of its value. The shares of best mills. are 174 per cent. below par; those of the second-class mills are 50 per cent. below par, while the third-class mills have nofmarket value. In October last, after a thirteen week’s strike, the Oldham mills started up on a reduction of 5 per cent. in wages ; it is now proposed to meet the continued losses by another reduction of the same amount.
