An English Philosopher on Catholicism.

Church. The large candid, sympathetic

to exhibit and which has gradually in
fused singular mildncss into the tone

vcrsity in Ireland but in the course of his
plea MATTHEW AKNoLD is led to make some
interesting remarks concerning the essen
tial qualities and the prospects Of Catholi-

This ossayi-t, who may perhaps be called
the most perfect exponent OF English cul-
turc begins by pointing out an error which
he says British Liberals have in common
with Continental Radicals. The mistake con-
siets IN always regarding what Is accdcn-

We believe and have reason to believe

Centralization-Mr. Hewitt's Commit
tee.

Mr.. ARRAM S, HEWITT is Chairman Of the
Committee To investigate the causes Of bust
ness and industrial depression, which was
appointed at the last session of the House
Of Representatives, and is now holding its
sessions in this city. The occupation, Just
at present, Of this committee, is listening TO
complaints from workingmen, Socialists,
Communists, and professional reformcrs.
Mr.. ROBERT l.. BARTHOLOMEW, n delegate
" the Socialistic Labor Party, so called, was
before the commission on Friday. Mr.. BAR
THoLoMEE expressed the opinion that n
centralized Government would be better for
the whole country. Tho United States
Government" he said. should investigate
all factories. and inquire into the condition
Of the persons employed" The United
State. Constitution should be SO amended
that if the States did not enforce the law in
regard to education and labor, the Federal
Government should be able to do so.'
Those doctrines are denounced as revolu-
tionary. But in one respect it seems to us
that Mr.. BARTHoLoMEE's views are much
more conservative than those Of Mr. HEWITT
and the House of Representatives Mr. BAR
THoLoMEE understands and comedies that it
would require change of tho Constitution
to give the general Government jursdic-
tion over such matters; whereas Mr. IIEw-
TIT thinks that the Government has juris-
diction under the Constitution as it is else
whence this committee
Nj. BARTHOLOMEW is in favor Of establish
