Our esteemed cotemporary betrays an
excited state Of mind. This is Republic
can Congress, but not 80 strongly Republi-
can as we would like, for there are enough
Democrats in it to defeat any tariff meas
ure which is not acceptable to them; bill
which would be acceptable to them would
be too near the "ior.revenue only" stan
dard for the welfare OF the country. This
we say with respectful Difference to our es-
,eemed cotemporary, for We are ready to
admit that there are two sides Of the tariff
question, the protection side, taken by the
Republican party, and the tariff for reve-
nueonly, or free trade side, taken by
the. Democratic party. Desiring to be
entirely frank, we admit that there are Re.
publicans who are not prohibitionists, and
Democrats who are not free traders Speak.
ing Of pending tariff Legislation, a few Re-
publicans have acted with the Democratic
party, and few Democrats have acted
with the Republican party. Individual
exceptions do not establish party policy.
Affirmative action has come from the Re
publican party, obstruction from the Dem.
ocratic party. We cannot oblge our friend
with more detailed proof in the shape oi
records. 1t will be found in the Congress
iOnal Record for the session-a pile OF which
more than foot high lies before us, and
tariff forms the bulk Of 1t all. We shall

THE AuGusrINIAN SOCIETY

LAWRENCE, Mass, February 24.-Seven
suits, have been instituted against the Au.
gusIinian Society, n Roman Catholic or
ganization formed here in 1870 to receive
deposits Of parishioners ofthe church. At
tachments have been issued for S27 900,
and more are likely to follow. The So.
ciety was formed by priests, and subse.
quently chartered by the Legislature, with
authority to hold property not exceeding
100000. Large amounts OF real estate, in.
Guiding church property, have been con.
yeyei to the Society. Since 1881, when
Father Reagan took charge OF its affairs,
depositors have had difficulty in
securing deposits, and several claims
have been entered against It. 1t
has been selling real estate
for some time past, and has been large
borrower OF money from banks. AT a
meeting Of dcpositors the latter was notified
that no money was Left but the Society
wonld endeavor to pay them at the rate oi

placed at $500,000 to depositors and
500, 900 to mortgage holders. The deposi.

being poor female mill operatives. 1t is
generally believed this Is the elimination
OF several years OF gradual depreciation Of

LAWRENCE; MASS, February 25.-The
Roman Catholic Churches under the con.
troll OF the AuguStinian Fathers were
crowded at each service to-day. 1t was
expected that the priests would refer TO the
collapse OF their savings institution. AT
St. Mary's Church, G. /. McEnery,
Superior OF the American Augustinian
Order. said he proposed soon to give
detailed statement OF the church
finances. The society would leave
nothing undone TO meet It's obligations.
He considered the mortgages on the church
property comparatively slight. The only
matter for serious consideration was the
interests OF the dcpositors. He said the
soCiety's indebtedness was between four
and Ave hundred thousand dollars, but
with the receipts from the orders in three
churches and two chapels in Lawrence
with extraordinary efforts they could meet
heir financial obligations in few years.
