Growth of the Catholic Church.

The third Plenary Council, now in ses-
sion at Baltimore, is made the occasion
for calling attention to the remarkable
growth of the Catholic Church in this
country. In 1885 there were 2G priests,
10 churches and $4,000 Catholics in the
limited States. In 1908 the number had
increased to 10 priests, so churches and
10000 Catholics. In 1852 when the
first Plenary Council was held
in Baltimore the Catholic population
was $500, 900. The second Plenary Coun-
ell was held fourteen years later, and at
that council there were 6 archbishOps
and 81 bishops. At that time the num-
Der of Catholics was estimated to be
4. 500. 900. Between the second council
and the one now in session the church
has had a growth that is simply marvel
ous. The present council is composed Of
10 archbishops, 81 bishops, - procurators,
mitred abbots, supervisors Of theological
seminaries. etc., and about 100 priests
of minor degrees. The Catholic popula-
ton of the country is placed at 100000
by some writer's at 11,O00,000-the num-
Der of churches is over {, 600 and the mum
Der of priests is about 6,S35. In New
York state alone there are about 1,3OO, 600
Catholics. The Catholic population is
not, however, confined to the thickly set
tied portions of the country. In the
sparsely settled territories they outnum-
Der any Protestant sect. In Dakota they
number 10000, while the largest Protestant
sect-the Lutheran-numbers only 1000.
In Montana there are 1900 Catholics,
while the Methodists, who outnumber
any other Protestant sect, number only
5000. Even in Utah their number is
1000, while of the Methodist, the largest
Protestant sect, there are only SEQ. The
aim of the present Plenary Council is to
settle upon the means for governing this
vast and growing religious organization.
That it is well qualified for its work is gen.
orally admitted. 1t is certainly composed
of men of great experience and remark
able ability.

The comments of the newspapers, both
Democratic and Republican, on the Sher-
mar-Davis incident are generally quite
amusing, although they are not intended
10 be so. Tie Detroit Free Press says:
1T is q very interesting case, and while
all patriots are bound to believe that Te-
cump is right and JEFF wrong, the former,
we submit, is not making quite a fair re-
turn for the patriotic confidence repOsed

Is It not a little strange that all the sug-
gestiOns respecting matters connected
with President-elect Cleveland should be
volunteered by the Republicans? The
Boston Journal says that Boston having
furnished Franklin Pierce with a span Of
horses and carriage, is expected to ''turn
up something handsome in the shape of a
turnout for Mr.. Cleveland. Because
Boston furnished horses and carriage for
one President is no reason that it should
for another; and it is by no means certain
that Mr.. Cleveland will accept presents
even from municipalities.

Close Call for q Calamity.

What might have been terrible
calamity, involving the lives of several hum
dred people, but which fortunately resulted
in no casualties, occurred on the river some
twenty miles below St. Louis. The steamer
Charles Morgan, with between four and
five hundred excursionists on board, had
gone down the river during the forenoon,
and on the return trip, when in the neigh
borhood Of Horse Shoe bend, collided with
the screw steamer Central City amidship,
cutting her down and she soon sank, but
her crew and all on board were safely taken
of.
The excitement on the Morgan was very
great for time, but when 1t was definitely
known the steamer was not injured, the
people became calm, and several hours
later were landed at the wharf in St. Louis.
The captain of the Central City says he blew
a whistle before the boats struck, but the
pilot Of the Morgan asserts he did not hear
it, and the night being dark and heavy, and
a storm raging at the time, he did not see
the little steamer until too late to avoid her,
and also said the Central City had not been
showing the proper lights.

sassafras, rock Iichens and sealskin were
resorted to for food, with results as shown
by the number of survivors. The last regu-
lar food was issued on May 14th. Only 16O
pounds of meat was left by Darlington. We
were compelled to send In November four
men to obtain IA pounds Of English meat in
Isabella. During the trip Ellison had both
hands and feet frozen solid and lost them
all, surviving, however, through the terri
BILE winter and spring until July Sth. The
survivors owe their lives to the indomita-
BILE energy Of Captain Schley and Lieutenant
Emory, who, preceded by three and accom-
panied by five whalers, forced their vessels
from Upernavik, through Melville bay, into
the north water at Cape York with the fore
most whaler. They gained a yard when
ever 1t was possible and always held it.
Smith sound was crossed and the party res
cued during one of the most violent gales
we have ever known. Boats were handled
only at the imminent risk of swapping.
Four of us then were unable to walk, and
could not have survived exceeding twenty
four hours. Every care and attention was
given us. We have saved and bring back
copies Of meteorological, tidal, astronomi-
cal, magnetic, pendulum and other obser
yations; also the pendulum and standard
thermometer, forty eight Photographic
negatives, collection of blanks and photo
graphic proofs, Eskimo relics and other
things necessarily abandoned. The Thetis
remains here five days probably.

THE CHOLERA.
Steps Taken to Guard Against Its Coming.

Secretary Frelinghuysen has instruct
ed by cable the consular officers at London,
Liverpool, Marseilles, Havre, Bordeaux,
Bremen and Hamburg to at once appoint
competent physicians to inspect all vessels
and passengers departing for the United
States from the ports mentioned. The con-
sular officers referred to are instructed to
refuse clear bills of health In all cases except
upon recommendation Of the sanitary in
spector that such bills be given. Consuls
are instructed to report by cable any case Of
infection, cause or contagious disease known
to exist on board vessel.at the. time Of her
departure for the United States. This
course is adopted in order that health off,
GERS in our ports may have timely warning
of the approaching danger and be prepared
to take such measures as shall prevent the
scourge from gaining foothold in this
country. 1t is probable that under the au-
thority conferred by the contagious disease
clause of the legislative bill medical exam
liners will be appointed as attaches to Amer
lean consulates at French ports infected with
cholera, whose duty it will be to report pc
upon the progress Of the disease.

The Woman With q System.

A man with system is often dan
gerous person, but woman with sys-
tenn is a terror, says the Philadelphia
Times. Miss Nivison, of the Nivison
home, is evidently woman with sys-
tenn. She had invented a method for the
nurture of children and established the
institution in New Jersey to demon
strate its usefulness. The famous re-
former in the feeding of horses had just
got his horse to the point of eating one
straw day when the ungrateful beast
died. 1t was so with Miss Nivison and
the babies. The experiment of feeding
them on milk and iceland moss, varied
with morphia and tea, was succeeding
admirably when the children took sick
and died. That was unfortunate; but
it did not impair the beauty of the sys-
tenn. If the children had only lived they
might have grown up as models.
Miss Nivison's purpose in establishing
the home has been explained as having
an intellectual as well as a physical
bearing. Her theory was ''that in order
to propagate proper ideas and avoid the
ignorance and prejudice which so many
women have on all medical hygienic
subjects, it was necessary to begin with
the child" Miss Nivison began with
the child accordingly, and ended with
the child. The girl babies will never
make any hygienic mistakes on their
own account. All that has been done
for them, finally. No children could be
more free from prejudice than they
are.
Until q complete official investiga-
ton shall have been made into this ex-
traordinary case of baby farming it is
impossible to form a final opinion of
the moral culpability of those con-
cerned.. Unless Miss Nivison was
very bad person, which does not ap-
pear clearly, she must have been SIM
ply fool. She is apparently woman
with some imperfect medical knowl-
enough to make her danger
with a desire if not q mission
to do something in the world, but with
out the common sense that would have
saved even the dullest man from such a
5crape as she has got into. She seems
TO have looked upon this frlghtful NOR
tality among the children as matter
Of course and did not even ask con-
'ultation from any responsible practi-
Toner of the neighborhood, as any sane
nan would have done, if only for his
own protection. If she had taken the |
)abies to put them out of the way, all
his could be understood; but the pre-
is entirely against such the
Try. 1t is easier to believe that the
