WEDNESDAY MoRNING:::....::.::MAY %, is74

THE speech of Hon. Ellis h. Roberts in
he House yesterday was characterized by
his usual clearness, discretion and force.
His able argument doubtless had much in
fuence upon the vote by which the bill
was carried through the House reversing
the policy which has continuously ruled
the collection of customs since 1899. -.---

AN ARKANsAs CHIEF JUSTICE
A dispateh from st. Louis yesterday an.
nounces that Chief Justice Mcclure, of
Arkansas, is On his way to Washington;
that the grounds upon which the Attorney
General based his opinions are entirely
erroneous, and that the whole question Is
to be referred to Congress. Is there really
no escape from Arkansas and Arkansas
politicians, lawyers and judges of this
Mcclure stripei What have the ,helpless
American reading public done; what mean
and horrible crime have they committed that
they must be sickened with another dose
of the miserable wrangles, of those people
who seem to have no sense of public de.
cency, no regard for themselves or for the
country --....-,.-- ....a.- =
During five long and weary weeks we
have been surfeited with Arkansas, and Just
as We are beginning to congratulate our
selves that the end has at last come, the
vivacious Mcclure appears upon the scene
with the cool request to go over the whole
question again and open it up ab initio.
The curtain is to rise this time in Congress,
If this most extraordinary Judge and his
supporters can SO manage it, The House of
Representatives, by a very decided vote,
Monday refused to take any action in the
matter; the Senate caucus came to pretty
much the same conclusion. 1t is to be sim
cerely hoped that this determination will be
adhered to and that this spring political
fever of the Arkansas wire-pullers will not
be allowed to affect the whole country.
There are, Heaven knows, questions
enough of a distracting character in Con-
gress, without throwing into it this addi-
tional one, with all its concomitants of rival
governors, rival legislatures, rival judges,
rival generals and so forth. When Mcclure
arrives, let Congress protect itself in some
way against him. II there is no other way
of disposing of him, let him be sent over
to DR.. Nichols and the Government insane
asylum. The bench is manifestly unsuited
to him, or rather he to the bench.

A large S,l critical audience was present at
the National last evening, to witness Salvini as
Hamlet. The curiosity to see the great TRACE

Cook-books are always dlffuss. Housewives will

worldly, minutie cannot be given too carefully.
Hence Miss Leslie has prepared over hve hundred

only Is the culinary art exhaustively considered,

July.

According to the old Roman Calendar, July
was the fifth month of the year and was, there
fore, designated Quintlis. But after the
death of Julins Cesar, its name was changed
to that of the great warrior, 80 as to perpetu-
ate his memory in the minds of men. In this
month the Sun enters the constellation Leo !;
and the Lions name fifty symbols July's ra-
ging heat and blazing skies. The Church
commentaries upon the first Sunday, the
Feast of the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord :;
and on this occasion shall see the conse-
Grating priest approach the altar, clothed in
garme nts which seem dyed in that most sacred
stream. And as he stands before MS with
the sunlight shining on those blood
stained robes, we realize the beauty and
wisdom of the Catholic ceremonial, which,
even without q word, speaks to the heart of
man and proclaims the wonderful and sublime
truths of God. Behold the difference between
paganism and Christianity One thinks only
of humanity and it's selfstN proud enjoyments
the other elevates the spiritual part of man,
and bids him look beyond q temporal happi-
ness to q promised eternity of glory!
And all through the long, sultry days of this
new Fonth, named In honor of a pagan en-
peror, the divine Church places before mems
minds the memories of blessed saints whose
examples cheer and strengthen the soul and
make it forget the WEAKNESS of life's burdens.
The Catholic is like one who walks in an en-
closed garden, along a clear and shining road.
Reyond his view he knows there lies lovely
vista opening into land of perfect beauty.
but along his way he sees statues of exquisite
workmanship, life-like representations of those
who have gone before, and from whose silent
lipS he learns that holinesa and iov which
enable him to follow in their footsteps. Thus
along our mortal pilgrimage, the Church di-
rects us through it's garden bowers, from which
we catch bright glimpses of the eternal fields
of Heaven in the dim and shining distance,
while at every step of tho way we meet the
figure of some fellow, pilgrim Who has reached
the goal before us. Sweet faces of children
smile upon US. Tender looks of women are
