GOVERNOR’S DUTIES TO CHURCH AND STATE
DEFINITE DIVISION. LORD STRICKLAND PUTS ROMAN CATHOLIC CASE. United Prpss Association — By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. Received Friday, 7 p.m. LONDON, Aug. 16. Lord Strickland has arrived in London from Malta on holiday to Westmoreland until October. Ho said his ancestor, Sir William Strickland, was one of those who gavo a pledge to Pitt that English Roman Catholics would take their religion from Rome and their politics from themselves. It was only on this principle that Roman Catholics can continue to be Ministers of the King. There was no questioning by them tho infallibility of the Pope on matters spiritual, but now that his Holiness had become a temporal sovereign, it was all the more important that Ministers should remember their pledge and duty to their King and country. They could not be expected to do anything which interfered with that duty. All p;wt*es at present concerned were anxious to end tho'tension by establishing a hard and fast line of demarkation between politics and religion.
