Delusive Triumph.

Heresy and Infidelity are deligbting
themselves with dwelling on the fact that
in Europe every Government 10 hostile to
the Church. Not one Monarch, not one
Cabinet, not one Court on all that CONT
nent is the friend of the Catholic Church,
and all her enemies are rejoicing over this
as q great triumph. But is it suchf
This is not the first time that she has been
in this position. On Calvary, the Church, in
the person of her Divine Founder, was
prosecuted by the powers of the world
and derided by all men in authority. For
three hundred years every government
hated and prosecuted her, and now in the
days of the second Peter-of him who
alone has equaled the days of Peter-the
same phenomenon occurs, the same uni
versal antagnonism towards her on the part
of the earthly powers is found.
But is this triumph for her enemies
No more 30 now than then. On the con-
trary it will but give her an opportunity Of
showing to all men that she is above the
support Of human strength and the mecca
sity of human alliance. The dereliction of
temporal governments is affecting to her,
but in no way injurious. AS she went humbly
forward under their smiles, she will go as
steadily on without their countenance or
in spite Of their opposition. She has lost
the rulers but she will keep the people.
She has no government now to honor her,
but she will be as strong as ever, as inAu.
entail as ever, aye, as powerful as ever in
saving from utter ruin the very govern
ments which insolently and stupidity scof
at her.

and repetition of the same legal dodge

Gov. Davis goes even further than this.
He proposes to swamp State autonomy ut
terly and give local government entirely
over into the hands of the President.' He
thinks that when two sets of officials in
any State claim to be elected, the general
government has the right to recognize either
and thus give it validity. It would be, in
that case, the merest farce to hold an
election at all, since the party in sympathy
with the w ashington administration, would
always claim an election for its candidates
and would always be sure of recognition
as the de facto government.
Americans can concede no such univer-
| sal control to the central government as
that urged by Gov. Davis, nor any such
power in local government of perpetua-
ting itself indefinitely as that claimed by
his Supreme Court.

It is striking fact, and one that is not q
little gratifying to Catholics that despite innumer
able of prejudice that exist in the average
Protestant mind against Catholic institutions large
numbers of children of Protestant parens are annually
educated at Catholic schools The many converts that
flourish throughout this country are undoubtedly
supported to very appreciabe extent by the patron
of Protestant parents who thus testify by most
indisputabe evidence to the excellence of the system
pursued by our religious preceptors Tho noble Sisters

Inconsistent.

There is published at Memphis, a sheet
called the Baptist, in q number of which
issued on the 10th inst, we find an article
treating of education in very un- Protest.
ant style. 1t says that the Baptists of
Tennessee must have a University, and
one of the very highest class that mem
bers of a denomination can sometimes he
expected to sacrifice money for the sake of
interests peculiar to their denomination,
but they can never properly be expected
to sacrifice the future prospects of their
sons to that end. 1t adds:
They will, they should send them to the
very best schools, taught by whom they may
be-Catholics, with us, always excepted. Bet
ter the child be uneducated than made Cath
olic."
Now how is this 2 Is this not contrary
to tue professions of pure Professionalism
Catholics, indeed, may consistently talk
in that way of Protestant education for
their children, and consider ignorance pre-
ferable to it, for they hold Professionalism
to be heresy and fatal to salvation. Bot
Professionals hold as the essence of their
faith that any man can be saved who be-
lieves in the Bible and sincerely thinks that
his faith corresponds with it. A candid,
| honest Protestant will admit that he knows
many good, excellent Catholics, that great
numbers of them will undoubtedly be
saved, and that, though he believes some
of their doctrines to be erroneous, any
sincere believer in them can be saved.
This is real Protestantism-the right of
every man to judge for himself on ques-
| tions of Christian doctrine and the GER
tainty of his salvation if he faithfully
| observes what he thinks to be correct.
| In that case, Catholics can be saved like
anybody else, fthey are honest and sincere
| in their belief, yet our liberal Baptist friend
thinks it better for people to remain I'M
| educated "and " sacrifice their future pros
| pects," than to be made Catholic.
Now this means q good deal when we
remember how much Importance is attached
by Professionals to worldly career. If
sincere Catholics will be saved, why regard
Catholicity as something so fearful that AL
education coupled with it is to be abhorred,
and the darkness of utter ignorance pre-
ferred7 This looks very much as though
there were Limitation on the right of pri-
vate Judgment and a condition attached to
it which would read pretty much this way :
Judge for yourselves, provided you
choose among the various forms of error
only and are not at liberty to embrace the
truth"

captain George Wildes, of Liverpool" says
the Catholic Unirerse, "may thank the goddess
marriage system of the Protestant Church for
the position in which he finds himself The
gallant captain in question, being divorced
from his wife, made the acquaintanceship of a
Miss INITIAL, proposed marriage, and fixed the
day. Between his promise and the day ap-
pointed for his second marriage Captain
Wildes not only met his frst wife, but came
to the conclusion that people had lied about
her )" that he loved her as much as ever, and
that it was his duty to forthwith marry her
once again. He did marry her once again.
But then there was Miss Nuttall's affections,
and there was the more solid consideration
that she had lost o good match-'' an officer
and gentleman with clear G16OO a-year
These were things the blushing young maiden
could not overlook, and a British jury was
appealed to, 30 far successfully as to procure
for her the very tangible consolation of $4,000
in ready cash. How blessed, how happy how
fruitful of good results must be the marriages
which are subject to such worldly peculiarities
and want of religion !"

Two Chances.

The course Of President Grant in the
matter of the recent Texas election, gives
great satisfaction at the South, as indeed it
ought to do throughout the Union. Gov
Davis of that State, though beaten by a
majority of some Fifty thousand votes, OBJ
tanned of his Supreme Court a decision
annulling the whole election on the ground
that the voting had all been done in one
day instead of foar days, as provided by
the Constitution of that State. The law
making the unconstitutional change had
been approved by Davis himself, and most
artfully so if we may judge by subsequent
events.
This law gave Gov. Davis two strings to
his bow. If he and his party prevailed in
the election, all would be serene and the
law would be unimpeachable; but if they
should be defeated, then the law was to be
declared unconstitutional and the election
annulled. This is an easy game to play,
though not entirely an original one.
Gov. Davis had one strong technical
point in his favor, that is, the Supreme
Court belonged to him. He had been able
to carry matters with strong hand in
Texas and to fill even the supreme bench
with his creatures. Moreover, the very
Offices of those Supreme judges depended
on annulling the election, as it's effect, if
sustained, would be among other things, to
disband their court.
Here, then, was the position of things !;
the Governor and Supreme Court on one
side, the people on the other. Men with q
small, captious, perverted way of looking
at things, technical and pettyfogging in
their ideas of legal matters, would find an
excuse for holding that the Supreme Court
having decided on a question of law, it's
decision was final and must be sustained.
Persons in the habit of taking compre-
would go further than this and say that the
creature could not be greater than the Gre
ator-that a Court of Justice could not
override the will of the people who has
organized that court, expressed by so over
whelming majority.
1t is gratifying to find that the President
has taken this view of the case and thus
rises superior to the petty interests of the
moment. A contrary policy might fasten
upon Texas the yoke of his party for
while longer, but no permanent party good
could como of it if the spirit of self-g
eminent still fingers in this country.
The plan of Gov. Davis would simply
amount to the perpetuation of every gov
eminent. The Governor of State and its
Supreme Court would merely have to I'M
derstand ono another, and every election
could be so held as 20 afford technical
ground for setting it aside. This would
leave the existing government in power

WORDS FOR CoNsIDERAT!oN OF FATHERS AND
MoTHERs.-When the child is taught to stretch
out his hands and raise up his eyes and heart
to heaven and to say to God, " Our Father"
he should mean the noblest and most beautiful
thing that language can express, by that
blessed name of father but to the child that
knows no father but drunkard, what mock
cry 1t must appear to teach him to say TO God,
=" Orr Father" when father to him means some
thing 80 vile, SO base and degraded! And
what shall we say of the dear name of motherf
There is something horribly degraded in the
drunken man, but there is something unutter-
ably vile in the drunkenness of a woman. God
himself allows HIS Christian Church to teach
that all that is gentlest, purest and tenderest
In mere human nature was possessed by o.
woman, who was mother and yet virgin
the blessed Virgin Mother of Christ Yes God
Himself has deigned to call one woman Mother
and we love to mingle the blessed name in our
prayers; "Mother of Parity" Mother of Wis
DOM" Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for
us sinners" The more gentle, tender and pure
woman was intended to be by nature and by
grace, the more vile and utterly loathsome
does she become by the persistent use of in
toxicating drink. can hardly find Language
to describe the loathsomeness of the drunken
man, but will not attempt to describe to you
the portrait of the drunken woman. The child
of such a woman is almost necessarily fore
ordained for a life of sin and misery, and tins
through the fault of her, from whom of ali
others that child should have learned lessons
of virtue, purity and truth.-Fdther NcGtyn"S
