of modesty for journalists, and on the point
at which people should be restrained
from an absolute indulgence of their inn
pulses and inclinations, ought to have
great value. if they are derived in
any degree from her own experiences.
Newspaper men might perhaps respond, to
her impeachment of their conduct, that
they do not, as rule. take such liberties
with other peoples names as to sign them
to promiscuous letters, and the license in
dulged in by Americans generally leaves
them far behind the bright example sup
piled by this censor of public conduct.
But this does not meet her views, and we
must wait till she lectures to find out what
she wants

Reforms Ina the Catholic Churcns
The closing letter of the series written by
"A Roman Prelate," which we publish to-
day, will be found in many respects the
most interesting OF NIL. Having already
passed over the ground of the public acts
Of tho late Pope, having examined the
dogma Of the Immaculate Conception, of
Papal Infallibility and discussed the value
of the Syllabus, the writer turns to the i'm
poftant question Of reform within the Cath
Ollie Church by means of decennial councils,
Still fortifying himself by citations from
eminent authorities he proceeds to point
out the usefulness to the Church Of such
periodical meetings Of the bishops, who.
truly represent the Catholic world. He
shows how earnestly the preparation OF
new canonical code is demanded. The pos
tulata of the bishops to the Vatican Council
favor this frequency of gathering. In the
work Of Mgr. Maret, from which he largely
quotes, we find the significant SENTENCED
"All the freedom the Church can afford her
children is more than ever necessary in view
of the great problems arising from the nc
tual state of the world, from the march of
science and the onward course Of society"
He calls for frequent councils Of the Church
and says ''Eviis may then be easily reme-
died, abuses corrected. disciplinary and
scientific ameliorations be introduced.
Such things as "the disagreeable status Of
missions status in which the Catholic
Church in the United States is held to-day
might disappear under new canon
ical code. The writer has shown how
the decree of the Council of Con-
stance has been evaded and draws
the safe conclusion that resolve on the
part of Pope Leo XIII. to hold such coun-
ellis might have no influence on his success
sor. The great reform needed lies. he
afirms, in such change in the mode Of
electing Pope as would admit the arch
bishops of the world or an episcopal dele
gate from each province to the Con-
clave, thus forming "the most dis
tinguished electoral body the world ever
saw" The Church, surely, has nothing to
fear from the ministrations in this instance
Of SO loyal and devoted body as the arch
bishops and bishops, while the reproach,
not without some meaning, of the Church
being an Italian rather than universal
Church would be at once removed. The
Catholic Church has the opportunity of lib
erty to shake off its feebleness with its poll
tics. Here in America. separated from the
State, and, with rare exception, attending
devotedly to its sacred business, we see what
vigor similar position would impart
to it in the older countries 1t has found
itself able to live in Germany in.spite Of
persecution. Is it as truly vital in Spain,
where, in its mistaken political r6le. it was
so long able to persecute9 Disembarrassed
OF its politics it could 90 forward in its re-
ligious mission with new impulse. Deep
as was the affection for the sanity Pope
Plus, and wide as was the sorrow over his
demise, feeling of hope, came with the
election OF the liberal Cardinal Pecci to the
Pontificate. Will that hope be justified?

in store for him that he declined. and. in
all probability. Hoie-in-the-sky would do
exactly the same if the offer were made him.
In similar circumstances we should GER
tainly do so. No sensible savage would run
the risk of certain death in Congress SO long
as he had the alternative of fighting the
Christian hero Howard. whose detestation
of bloodshed is one Of the most charming
traits of his angelic character.

the government did or did not successfully

Now, the important principle Of that
note--the centre Of the position was
abandoned by the British government

tain points Of treaty made in defiance
of the treaties Of 1856 and 1871 England
abandoned the main ground OF her objec-
ton to the treaty and acted in defiance of
the declaration above quoted that any
alteration of tho law between two Powers
would not be valid. She ceased to be the
champion of Europe and gave away for
her own interest the cause she had
pretended to support. She had received
satisfaction on the points that were impor-
,aut to her, and gave up the others. She
obliged herself not only not to sustain what
other Powers might say against the treaty,
but to restrict herself in the councils of the
Congress to such opposition as she had in

right to make. Now, in the Congress itself,

The Lancashire Strikes.

LONDON, April 22.-The resolution adopted
by the amalgamated association on Sunday
has evoked considerable opposition throughout
the strike district. 1t is now stated that it was
not unanimously passed, that twelve delegates
voted against 1t and eighteen from North aud
Northeast Lancashire were not allowed to vote.
The operatives at Scranton held meeting and
resolved they would comply with the recon-
incubation of the association although they
were willing to accept per cent reduction
and days work per week. The operatives at
Burnley held meeting at which 1900 were
present, and resolved to continue the strike.
The chairman recommended the acceptance of
the reduction if coupled with short time. He
remioded them that the local com mittee would
only relieve cases of actual distress SO as to
husband the funds and prolong the strike
At BrestOn an excited meeting last two and
half was held without coming TO any decis-
ison, some approaching and others condemniug
the resolution of the amalgamated association.
At Blackburn the operatives are very bitter
and declare they will withdraw from the asso-
citation.
Resolutions showing an uncompl ON ising
spirit were were passed at Great Harwood aud
Church.

been called for Tuesday at Manchester, when

The Charges Against Ex- Minister Sc ward
The committee on expenditures in the
State department today continued the examina-

whose testimony was that in the months of
January, February and March, 1876, Seward
received a salary as minister TO CHINA, and
also his salary as consul general to Shanghai
10 addition to fees of the consular court at that
city. These fees Mr.. Bradford designated as
unofficial, but Wells says they were official
fees Of that court. Bradford was indicted for
malfeasance and found guilty, the alleged
offence being the retention of these very fees
which were paid to Mr.. Seward, it being
claimed that the consular clerk was entitled to
them.
Various Matters.
House committee on coinage. weights and
measures today agreed to report favorably the
pending bill appropriating $75 900 to repair

1st-Our ground bone, for fertilizer, being
pure, contains large percentage of phos phorIc

which makes it the safest fertilizer for all kinds of
crops. 1t is also very nice when composted with wood
ashes in equal parts.
2nd-Our bone meal has no equal In Am RIGA.
1t is ground from pure hard bones. and is very
white and sweet, it has no offensive Odor or TASTE
In fact it is as sweet corn meal, and cattle eat
it freely and with good results.
We likewise make an extra article of poultry
bone of uniform size, no long svers to choke the
hens. 1t helps to form the shell of the eggs, and
is what the poultry need at all times. supply of
1t should be kept in box constantly before them.
We would further say that it is object to secure
good reputation for our bone goods and we be-
Ieye the only way is to make them strictly pure,
anu those who favor us with their patronage may
rely upon it, that all the goods purchased of will
be strictly pure.
We also have constantly on hand, ground beef
scraps which poultry should always have in a box
