THE CATHOLIC POPULATION OF THE
UNITED STATES.

Ninety-one years ago Father Carroll
set down the Catholic population Of the
United States at twenty-five thousand,
and he may have fallen short of the
real number by about ten thousand.
In 1903, when episcopal sees were placed
at Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and
Baltimore, the Catholic population had
increased to about one hundred and fifty
thousand. In 1892 Bishop England es-
timated the Catholics of the United States
at halt Million but in 1886, after having
given the subject greater attention, he
thought there could not be less than a
million and quarter. Both these esti-
mates, however, were mere surmises for
Bishop England, who always exaggerat-
ed the losses of the Church in this country,
not finding it possible to get the data tor
weIl-fOunded opinion as to the Catholic
population, was left to conjectures or to
arguments based upon premises which,
to say the least, were themselves unprov-
en-. The editors of the Metropolitan
Catholic Almanac for 1848, basing their
calculations upon the very satisfactory
returns which they had received from
the thirty dioceses then within the, United
States, set down the Catholic population
at /. 100, 100, and this is probably the
nearest approach which we can make
to the Catholics in this country at the
time the great Irish famine gave new
impulse to emigration to America. From
1913, down to the present day, the in
crease of the Catholic population has
been very rapid, it having risen in pc
riod of twenty-eight years from a little
over million to nearly seven millions.
The third revised edition Of Schem's
Statistics of the World for 1875 gives 6,
900, 900 as the Catholic population of the
United States, and the American Annual
Cyclopadia for 1875 reckons it as more
than 10000 and from a careful con
sideration of the data which, however
are still imperfect, we think it is at pres
ent probably not less than 1000, 0o0.-

'ENcLANo WORKING FOR PEACE"

England is working tor peace" is the
news, repeated again and again, from
Europe, Yes, and she had better work
for peace. The sword in future will be
terrible for her. She must go on work

dust, and her rich possessions have been
dragged from her without blow, She
must work for peace in the teeth of
sheer and outrage, and fear to strike
back except at the unfortunate savages
of Coomassie or Dahomey. She must
go on working for peace, till the day
comes when the gates OF war shall be
opened on her, and she is driven into the
fight of despair. That day is not far off.
Ii is dawning in the East, on Russian

DEAR S1Rs: We, the undersigned citizens OF

ER, from Minnesota, which has been threshing

recommend tito the farmers Of Kansas and
other states as being first class separator in
every respect, and as possessed Of many very
valuable improvements Of which other ma
chimes cannot boast. We considerit an indis-
pensable part Of the outfit for the successful Sc
curing Of the great wheat crop Of this region,
and hail with great JOY and satisfaction its in
PRODUCTION among US. Simple. because there
are less parts and gearing than to any other
separator; it cleans the grain in all conditions
thoroughly, IS we are convinced by actual OBJ
servation; economical, it saving all the grain
heretofore wasted by other machines. and will
do alarger days work than any thresher YET

tear which other machines have to contend
with. All these points in its favor, coupled

flUNkYlSM RUN MAD.

The Chicago Times devotes scath-
ing article to the few miserable Ameri-
cans who, in clumsy attempt to ape
royalty. did their utmost to bring the
American name into contempt on the
Centennial Fourth in London. AS the
Times remarks, the American abroad
is BY no means the ferocious lover OF
freedom that common repute holds him
to be in Podunk or Pumpkinville. No
sooner has an American with money set
his loot In London than he is seized with
u consuming desire to walk down Pail
Mall. as Thackeray jocosely puts it, with
| a duke on either arm. There is leaven
of hunkyism about certain travelling
Americans which never fails to ferment
the moment they find them>elves in an
aristocratic atmosphere, They are, as q
rule thoroughly despised in European
countries for their degrading reputation
of manhood. and the eagerness wherewith
thew seek the distinguished honor of ex-
changing a word with an old countess
or an earl. This great Centennial din,
nern was gotten up. it would seem as
compliment to Englishmen. not in honor
of American Independence. One would
naturally believe that the American AM
bassador, or at least some Englshman,
like John Bright, friendly toward Ameri'
ca, would be selected to preside on the
occasion. But no; that would be toe
democratic. SO they chose the Lord May
