New York WoTld.l
Patrick Logan, q shoemaker, sixty
years old, addressed in the hall of st.
Columbia Catholic Temperance Society
last night an audience of workingmen,
whom he warned against communism
WorF'ngmen, he said, should remember
that half a loaf is better than no bread,
and strikes should never occur unless
the men were sure of succeeding. A
strike which lasted a few weeks aud then
ends by the men going back to work on
the old terms is worse than no strike.
Strikes should only occur when they can
succeed. What m cessity have we, the
w%orkingmen Of this country" he asked,
ITO enter into combinations which will
make disorder and disturb the public
peace? Our labor is our capital, PFC
tected like other capitLl- by peaceful
and constitutional methods. The men
we have elected to do this have been sub.
sidized bv the bonds of the capitalists,
and for sixteen years no measure has
been adopted to help labor.
THE workingmen are down to the
very dust. But our merchants are not
all Shylocks, and we may iud among
them better legislators than our pro-
iessed friends; men who will give US a
fair dollar-it may be a whiteback, a
grayback, or a gieenback-but 1t must be
a full aud honest dollar from the center
to the circumference OF this country. We
a do this without carrying a torch in
one hand and q revolver in the other.
We will not join in any such sehems; we
will be the first TO help to put such
schemes down. 1t must be owned that
the true Democracy Of this country have
been friends of the w~orkingman, and
but for them we should not have a vote
here nor bscome citizens until we had
been twenty-one years in the country. >
Rev. Father MeAleer closed the meet.
ing with a few remarks. He said: 81
have been here with you for t~biriy-two
years, and | have seer a great DEAF. |
have known even of senators being
bought; aud of Irishmen even being
bought by the appointment Of a night.
Waterman in the custom-house. If you
will allow yourselves to be bought and
sold while your enemies legislate against
you, it is your own fault. You men have
the power, if you are honest, if You will
not vote against your opinions, to select
aud elect honest men. We have the best
country on the face OF this earth, but to
maintain it we want not only intelli.
gence, but honesty"

II the announcement Of the removal
Of the occupants Of three of the most
important ehsirs in the faculty of the

will no doubt be greater and more gene.

catien which we print this morning from
one Of the deposed professors, that the

When, 10 a spirit of bantering bandi.
mage, a paragraph 10 the American, a
short time ago, alluded to a possible con.
hlct, irreeoncilable, between the chair OF
zoology and historical and dynanieal
geology in that institution and the chair
Of systematic theology, filled by our ven
cradle confrere Of the Christian Advo.
cate, we had no idea we we're really an.
ticipating by but a few months, the cul.
mination Of a really existing conflict, as
now disclosed. From the standpoint
not indiferential, if heretical-of the
layman without particular theological
bent, it might be suggested the
deposed professor forfeited his right
TO strictly scientific sympathy for
volunteering the thankless Office of a
reconciler between theology aud sci.
ence. Sc eminent a light in the ranks
Of a supposed ~antagonistic school lend
ing his powerful aid and influence to
the reconciliation of conflicting views
certainly seemed an alliance the church
wos fortunate in securing, in this age Of
rapid intellectual progress, and we
should have looked for a ban of excom.
munication for beretical views on the
subject Of biblical race history to have
fallen sooner, almost anywhere else.
The recent utterances Of Prof. Winchell
with regard TO Pre-Adamite Man ire
viewed at length in another pnrt Of to.
days Americanl are so conservative a
presentation OF the race question that
minds Of theological predictions would
seem to have no need Of distorting the
facts to reconcile them with their views.
A precipitaie assumption Of heresy 10
this instance, in obedience 10 the de.
mands Of those who imagine other
peoples knowledge is as nebulous
as their own, would be 10 justify the
materialistic assumption that those sci.
enti6c men who have soughtto make out
that science was not hostile to theology,
have not been so clear sighted as their
opponents, and hence a victory scored
not for the church. but for its enemies.
