fact is added that the men who went
with the Indian to find the remains of
Newhouse had their hands nearly frozen

suffered from gangrene of the hand,

seems TO be no doubt that Newhouse fell

The Marnnis Of RinOn

The Marquis of Ripon, one of the
wealthiest of the English mobiles and
man who has heldhigh official positions,
recently, as has already been reported
by cable, resigned his position assGrand
Master of Freemasons in England and
announced his conversion to the Roman
Catholic faith. This action on his part
has called forth the following decided
and somewhat intolerate language from
the London Times:
1.-The first impression which will be
produced on his friends and the public
will be one of profound regret that such
career should have been thwarted,
and so much valuable influence is
hcnceforth to be misused. Lord Ripon.
we dare say, will still adhere to
tn party in whose service he has
won his honors aud his Marquisate. But
a statesman who becomes q convert to
Roman Catholicism forfeits ut once the
confidence of the English people. Such
II step involves IA complete abandonment
of any claim to political or even social
influence in the nation at large, and can
only be regarded as betraying an irTe-
parable weakness of character. To be-
come a Roman Catholic and remain a
thorough Engllshman are-it cannot be
disguised almost incompatible con-
ditions. We do not for a moment doubt
that men whe have been born and
brought up in the Catholic faith may
retain their creed as a harmless and
colorless element IN their opinions. But
when man IN the prime of life
abandOns the faith of Professionalism for
that of Rome his mind must necessarily
have undergone what to Englishmen
can only seem a fatal decentralization.
We submit to many things if we are borne
with them which we would never en-
dure if they were imposed on us for the
first time. But that statesman, a man
who has had twenty years experience
of the world, who has held high officials
posts in England, and has been prom
inent diplomatist, should submit him
self to the yoke of the Roman Catholic
priesthood, can only be due to some
fatal obliquity of temperament. The
principles of English life and of the
Roman Catholic Religion are very diff
cult to reconcile, and when man de
liberately becomes Roman Catholic he
must be held to accept distinctly the
principles of his new creed.
