tions Adopted and Officers Elected.

CHICAGO, Aug. THE Catholic Total Alb

first Wednesday in August, 1885. A number of
amendments to the constitution were acted upon,
after which addresses were made by Bishops
Spalding and Ireland Adjourned till 2 o'clock
At the afternoon session the committee on
resolutions presented long report, It eharac
teriZes those who cause crime and misery by
selling Intoxicating liquors as criminals; holds
that moral suasion alone cannot prevail
against intemperance; that the law must
be invoked, and that it is a dire calamity to
trust the management of public affairs TO those
who hold Office at the good will of liquor dealers.
1t continues While we recognize moral
suasion as the basis of temperance, we never
theess declare our confidence in legal restriction
of the liquor traffic as means to the advance
ment of that work, and such restriction may go
to whatever extent seems best In our capacity
of Catholic temperance citizens, we emphasize
the fact however, that we cannot couhtenance
or in any way encourage the liquor interest,
much less vote for it.
An attempt to insert q resolution in favor Of
of actual prohibition caused spirited discussion,
but the report of the committee prevailed The
report also declared that it Is the right of Cath
olics in the army and navy of the United States
to have Catholic chaplains; sympathizing with
the struggles Of the Irish people; protesting
against the effort of the Italian government to
take possession Of the property Of the propa-
ganda. and compliments President Arthur for
his prompt action in saving the American Col
1ege to the propaganda.
The following officers were elected President,
Rev. ]. M. Clearly, of Kenosha, Wis; vice presi
dent, Rev James Melit, of Brooklyn; treasurer,
Rev j. d. Barcks, Of Ohio; secretary, Philip A.
Nolan, of PHILADELPHIA Adjourned
During the forenoon session committee Of
seven was appointed to draft memorial on the
subject of total abstinence, to be presented to

The Fifteen Puzzle.

To the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal
The Chicago Times is one of the few papers stil la
boring with the fifteen puzzle" of political economy
If the net product of American manufactures m
creased "a per cent. between 1850 and 1860 the
Times can see why that rate of increase cannot be
maintained indefinitely. Perhaps the only way to
teach such papers the absurdty of such expectations
is to invite them to figure out what must be the net
product tor 1880 if this ratio of increase be main
tanned Will one of them be kind enough to do and
publish the result
Referring to the above slip and believing
there is about as much sense in my closing ques
ton as in the Timess assumption, make the
statement below to show the preposterous fool
ishness of the Times. In 1860 had son
born to me. was then 5000 per cent. older
than my son. At the end of the decade in 1870,
was 300 per cent older, In 1880 It had shrunk
to 100 per cent and in 1890 it will be only 100
per cent Will the Times please tell me why
the 1900 per cent is net maintained indefinitely

In the pacing race, for the Eli class in the
first heat George @. got the best of the send-off,
and retained the lead to the home stretch, where
Gurgle and Jewett closed on him, Jewett beating
him under the wire by full length; Gurgle
finished close second. Jewett led at the start
in the second heat, but George G. soon shot
ahead, and at the quarter was three open lengths
in front of Jewett George G. maintained his
lead to the three-Quarters pole, where Jewett
and Lorene closed on and passed him, Jewett
winning easily by two lengths; Ilorene second,
George G.. third. The third was a surprise to
those who backed Jewett. At the wire, Jewett
led, with George g. second and Minnie third
At the turn Jewett was still in the lead, with
George G. second, the two pacing very fast. The
positions were unchanged to the three-quafter
pole, where Minnie R. closed on the leader and
won the heat handily by length Jewett second,
Gurgle third. The fourth heat was taken
handily by Minnie R., who was crowded by
Jewett to the three-quarter pole where Fritz
eutfooted Jewett and took the second place,
with the others well up, except Lorene, who
only succeeded in keeping within the distance.
In the fifth heat it was evidently arranged be-
tween the drivers of Gugle, Jewett and Minnie
r. that the last named should win. Jewett
trailed at the start and was sent off two lengths
behind Gurgle was leading at the turn
when Jewett closed up and swung out to give
free road for Minnie R., who took third place,
which positions were maintained to the back
stretch, where Gurgie's driver held his horse
back, allowing Minnie r. to take the first place
Fritz here showed up, and swinging cut forced
Gurgle to the back of the track and Minnie r.
was taken further to the outside, but the pace
was too fast for Fritz. and Minnie r. maintained
the advantage gained, coming in winner by a
length from Gurgle, who was kept pacing Just
fast enough to keep second place; Mccarthy,
with Jewett, covered third ground, Fritz break
ing and going back to fifth place. Summary:
