A Floating Cathedral.


y
There have often been missionary ships
and floating churches, but it has been re-
served for the Catholic Bishop of Para and
Apazonas to propose to combine the two by
building a large missionary church to ply
with steam upon the Amazon. The Tablet
gives the following account of the Bishops
suggestions: The floating church will be
dedicated wholly and exclus lively to mission
airy purposes. 1t will be built by the most
skillful artfcers of Europe, and superbly
decorated and adorned. The rarest and most
precious woods with which the Amazonian
valley abounds, fine in grain and varied in
color, will wainscot the sacred interior. At
one end will shine forth the altar, with its
gilded reredos and glittering tabernacle con
tanning the most blessed sacrament and sur
rounded with the usual ornaments aud ta-
pers. This new floating cathedral this
"Basilica naval" will OF course possess its
pulpit and confessional, its organ and bap-
tismal font, and all the ornaments of church
furniture requisite, not merely for the de-
cent but even for the solemn and splendid
exercise of Catholic rites. In the lower por-
ton Of the ship suitable room or cabin will

THE BILLIARD-PLAYERs.
Why the Experts Decline to Play with
George f. SlOssOn.

George f. SlOssOn.
New York World.
An old billiard-player was seen yesterday
by a reporter, who told him that Slosson had
challenged Vignaux or Schaeter. as that
sop was the reply. SIS that fellow airing
himself in cold type again? Why what a
mess he does make of thingsl He knows as
we'll as you or l that neither man will PLAY
him. They wouldn't be allowed. You see -
he continued, 1.-The billiard-players, or rather
tile star-performers of the green cloth, are
hired by the various man ufacturers. Vignaux
is hired until Aug. Is by the II. w. Collender
Company, Jake Schaefer by the Brunswick
Company, Slosson by the new company
which the Others are fighting. Maurice DAILY
and Joe Dion own their tables and are not
hired by any company. J. Randolph Heiser
is retained by the Brunswick Sexton by Col
lender and so on down the list, not forget
ting Wallace who took second place in the
cushion-carom tourney and who is now in
the employ of the Brunswick & Bake Com
pany. As Slosson is with a company that Is
fighting the two Older companies, and as the
men he challenges are in the employ of those
companies, you see how foolish he is in chal-
longing them"
But said the reporter, "he is willing to
toss for choice of tables"
''Oh, indeed. Well that will make no diff
ference. He won't be able to play them He
made fool of himself at the outset and
signed with the new company out of pique,
and now seeks to make capital for himself
and his employers out of it. | think he
wishes himself we'll out of it. He took Mort
Hum phrey to Paris with him as his agent
when he went there the first time to play
Vignaux at the, rail game. Vignaux defeated
him, and theren non he accused Humphrey

game Whether Humphrey did so or MOTIFS
more than can say. But he, at least, de-
served payment for what services he did
render the would-be champion, and he says
he was not paid cent.
"The whole amount of it is this, the bill
lard players, with one or two exceptions,
are controlled by manufacturers, and it is
something that should not be tolera ted.
Mind you, do not say that any of those men
have done anything wrong at the instigaton
of their employers, but the people believe
that such is the case. Slosson has no right
to challenge Vignaux. He beat the French
man the last game they played. and the chal-
lenge should be sent to him. If he wants to
play Schaefer then let him challenge Jake for
the balk-line championship, which the latter
holds"

Flop Again, MIR. Voorhees,.


Mr.. Voorhees, may change. Men often do;
principles never. Because Mr.. Voorhees, is a
Democratic senator, he is not necessarily
running the Democratic party Senator
Voorhees, conversion is about as sudden as
that OF Paul of olden time, and will hardly
be as lasting. Before another twelve month,
the Public Press predicts that Voorhees, will
be found standing square and hat-footed on
a Democratic for revenue only platform, or
else he will be in full fellowship with the
Republican party. Mr. Voorhees, cannot
change a single Democrat, except himself, to
the doctrine OF tariff for protection only.
Senator Voorhees, might as well come down
gracefully at once as later, for he knows full
well how to talk Democracy.

1t is better for the community to have a
good man in it than smart one; and so we
have awakened at last to the necessity of ex-
panding our educational forces so that they
shall embrace the practice of morality as
well as a knowledge OF grammar and arith-
metic. We have also learned that more
practical course of training is needed for our
boys and girls, in order to fit them for the
active duties of life. and this thought has in

The Effect of the Tariff Laws.

IefTe Haute ENpfess.
The views of Senator voorhees, on the tariff
rather isolated him in his party at the time
they were uttered, but it is noticed that 9TH
ers of the Democratic leaders are beginning
to heed the warning he gave them. Justice
Field, of the United States Supreme Court,
who is a politician while yet judge says:
Free trade is not possible, and will not be
for some time. At present we must have
some incidental protection. Whether the
present laws as to this are correct or not is
not the question. Under them immense
manufacturing interests have grown up,
and no immediate change which would de-
stroy them should be adopted" The Nc
Donalds, Wattersons and other "for-reve-
nue-only" and free-trade Democrats may be
expected to acquire the wisdom above ex-
pressed some time next November-after the
election.

Ireland, the Irish and Free Trade.
IorruaI

Ireland too, was brought under the bane
of English free trade, and the hum of her
manufactures were heard no more there
after. Too many Irishmen have forgotten
this part of English impoverishment by false
principles of political economy and govern
ment. And they seem to have forgotten,
also, that the Democratic party in the United
States advocated the same doctrine that i'm
poverished Ireland and made dependents of
their ancestors, neighbors and friends. Irish
men are too patriotic to wish such calamity
upon the home of their adoption as has
fallen to their own native land and yet

den proclivities, is only precursor OF what

Free Trade win Not Do Here.

The Democrats know that free trade will
not do in this country. They know that the
industries of the country could not survive
the shock of such an innovation. They
know thatif European competition is turned
loose i'll this country unrestralned by tariff
laws, our manufactures would go down like
a bubble in a whirlpool, and such demora-

Political Economy in Colleges.

Lafayette Journal.
The time is not far distant when gradu-
ates will not go out of the colleges of this
country with one-sded and imperfect idea
of political economy. Other institutions OF
learning will follow the same example, not
so much from choice as from a very decided
pressure of public opinion. Both sides OF
this great question of political economy will
have hearing and when free and fair dis
cusson is had there can be no doubt that the

The Independent Man in Politics.

In this age the man who is independent on
the issues which divide the opinions of the
people is either an ignoramus or dema-
gogue, and the paper which attempts to float
into patronage on such a current must plti-
mately earn the contempt of its readers. In
dependence in its proper sense is a good
thing, but when independence is simplyan
other name for trickery to draw patronage
from all parties it deserves contempt. x
