THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

The movement against the liquor
traffic in America is likely to gain con-
siderable strength in the near future,
owing to the action of the Plenary Coun-
Gil of the Catholic Church at Baltimore.
The Pope has approved part of the work
of the Council, and with the permission
of Archbishop Gibbons list of the parts,
chapters and sections as approved have
been published. The fifth part refers to
the higher education of the Clergy; and
the eighth part relates to societies, pro-
hibited and approved, and to societies
for the promotion of temperance. 1t is
made the duty of all Catholics to dis
courage the liquor traffic. 1t discourages
Catholics from carrying on liquor bust
ness, and forbids absolutely the sale of
any wine, spirits or malt liquor at church
fairs, festivals or picnics. The clause, as
originally promulgated on this subject, is
quoted as follows:
There is one way of profaning the Lords
Day which is so prolific of evil results that
we consider it our duty to utter against it
a special condemnation. This is the prac
tice of selling beer or other liquors on Sun
day, or of frequenting places where sold.
This practice tends more than any other
to turn the Day of the Lord into day of
dissipation, to use it for an occasion for
breeding intemperance. While we hope
that Sunday laws on this point will not be
relaxed, but even more rigidly enforced,
we implore all Catholics, for the love of
God and of country, never to take part in
such traffic, nor to countenance or patron
ize it; and we not only direct the attention
of all pastors to the repression of this
abuse, but we also call upon them to in
duce all of their locks that may be engaged
in the sale of liquors to abandon as soon as
they can the dangerous traffic and to en-
brace more becoming way of making
living.
This puts the Catholic hierarchy and
clergy in the States on the side of the
prohibitionists, and their influence
doubtless will go very long way towards
strengthening the hands of that party in
future. 1t will probably become great
political factor in the States, although
heretofore it has been weakened through
the fact that designing and unprincipled
politicians took up the prohibition move
ment for their own personal ends.

The Negro Dialect.
EXCHANGED

At tho American Pathological society
meeting at New Haven, Conn, recently,
Professor J. A. Harrison, OF Virginia,
who is by birth Louisianian, gave an
essay on the negro dialects SPOKEN by
some 5000, 900 blacks, and sketch
of his remarks appeared in The New
Haven Palladium:
The fertility of the negro dialect is
really wonderful, not only in the in
genious distortion of words by which
new and startling significance Is given
to common English words, but
more especially in the domain of
imitation of sounds, cries and ami
NAL utteranees. To the negro, all
nature is alive, replete with intelligence
the whispering, tingling, kissing, boom
ing, muttering, 'zoonin' around him are
full of mysterious hints and suggestions
which he reproduces in words that imi
tate, often Strikingly, the poetic and
multlform messages which nature sends
him through his auditory nerve. He is
on intimate terms with the wild ami
mails and birds, and the fora and fauna
of the immense stretches of pine woods
among which for generations his h1bita
ton has been pitched. It is an ear
language altogether; the only wonder is
how the negro could have so truly caught
the swiftly uttered sounds of the Ian
guage about him."

ton, are not allowed to dictate the
policy and nominate the members of the
Government. In what constitutional
country, let us ask, are aliens
permitted to control the Govern
ment, direct its policy, and nomi-
nate its members? Yet because this
right is not accorded to aliens "Who are
making trial Of this Kingdom as place
of permanent abode for a longer or
shorter period" a grievance is set up,
and a column and half OF print is used
in ventilating it. We deny that there
is a shadow of grievance. Foreign resi-
dents in this Kingdom enjoy the protec-
ton Of the laws equally with natives and
naturaIized citizens That is the equiva-
lent Of the taxes they pay. Beyond this
they are not entitled to a voice in the
conduct of affairs. OF course they have
social and personal influence, which
they are free to use within proper and
well understood limitations. Are aliens
in England or her colonies permitted to
interfere in the political life Of the Com
monweaIth in which, for purposes pure
ly personal to themselves, they may
chance to be domiciled? Can an alien
vote in the United States without
residence of five years and compliance
with the provisions of the naturalization
law? Yet all such aliens during their
residence are taxed, in common with
~,
for the protection which the laws afford.
A more puerile or absurd complaint was
never promulgated against the Govern
ment than that which appears in Fri
days Evening Bulletin" If the Oppo-
sition is ever to amount to anything it
must be organized and controlled by
men; at present it is evidently directed
by the immature thought of conceited
adolescence.

The Vast Extent of Alaska.

Before US was a territory containing
$780, square miles, territory as
large as all the states east of the Missis-
sippi river and north of Alabama, Geor-
gia and North Carolina, or as large as
Great Britain, France and Germany; a
territory 1, 400 miles in length, 1890
miles in breadth, with its western limit,
the island of Attu, as far west of San
Francisco as the coast of Maine is east
of that CITY; territory with a coast
line long enough to encircle the globe
and with islands whose combined area
is equal to that of the state just named

that, If its source were at Salt Lake,
its waters would empty into New York
bay; and it's mouth is so wide that New
York would be on one side and Phila7
delphia on the other" There also tower
some of the highest mountains on the
continent. The Hottest peak of the
Fairweather range, near which we
sailed, rises is, 500 feet above the sea.
There stand sixty extinct volcanoes.
There smoke ten mountain peaks, which

try which the United States in 1867
purchased for $4,000, O0O-a country
which the last census shows has ma

To Avoid Mental Bankruptcy.

In "Brain Rest" Prof. J. L. Corn ing
gives seven rules whereby mental bank
ruptcy may be avoided. Avoid, first,
excessive indulgence of the emotions;
second, frantic, desultory efforts to
accomplish in one hour an amount of
mental work appropriate to double that
amount of time; third, avoid every
species of excess which experience has
proven leads to general constitutional
drain; fourth, avoid attempting to do
two things at one and the same time;
avoid petty social and other engage
mentS which interfere with the function
of sleep; sixth, avoid constipation, as
experience has abundantly proven that
this condition is productive of abnormal
depression; seventh, avoid indigestible
food

The Eskimo Goes to Summer Resort.

Lieut.. Schwatka in the Independent
So short are the Arctic seasons of
spring and fall that some polar travel
ers deny their existence, the summer
following the winter with suddenness
that sweeps the wintry SHOWS from the
ground and starts the hardy Alpine
plants into blossom as if an earthquake
or grand CONFUSION of nature had
thrown the Arctic regions under the
equator as abruptly as those terrestrial
forces usually work; and again the
summer is merged into the winter as
quickly as a person would change,
climbing to the top of Mexican noun
tain, from tropical luxuriance to snow,
ice and glaciers.
As soon as the warm weather is ush-
cred in, and the round-domed snow
houses commence showing signs of de-
cay under the advancing heat, the top
of one or two having, probably, tumbIed
in on the inmates, the Eskimo lord of
creation closely watches the ridges and
hill-tops, especially on the southern
slopes, and as soon as they peep through
the winters covering of snow, and a spot
is found large enough to pitch his skin
tent and give him a dry floor, that very
day he will abandon his tumbled-in
SnOw-house, and take up his abode for
the summer in the tent,

Turtles Of the Tortugas.
TCor. Nav Vol, oo.-4 !

With the summer the green turtle
and the great loggerhead show their
heads near the keys. The first moon
light night they furtively inspect the
shores Lie concealed until little after
nightfaIl, and the expelled breath of the
turtles is soon heard as they touch bot
tom, and cautiously peer out to see that
all Is quiet. The huge creatures now
come forth, and, reaching the topmost
portion OF the beach, proceed at once to
dig with hind flppers place for their
eggs. Once fairly at work nothing but
absolute force will prevent their accom-
pllshlng their purpose. Indeed, we have,
while seated on the back of one of the
huge loggerhead turtles, taken its eggs,
seriatim, until the whole complement
were deposited.
At this juncture the creature quickly
rusheS for the sea; not, however, until
she has carefully replaced the sand by
the powerful sweep of the hindmost
hippers. She has done her duty, even
If her nest is robbed of every egg, and
she troubles herself no more. Now is
the time to turn" the great reptile, if
you care to use her flesh for food, and
In days Of the garrison turtle meat was
q welcome item in the subsistence de-
partment. Parties found much interest
and excitement in this turtle turning. "
Usually two or three men were required.
Once on their backs the reptiles are
helpless. Some examples weigh 500
pounds.
The hawksbill, from which the beau
tiful shells are taken, is as common in
those waters as the green turtle, so
highly priced. Key West is the grand
station for the latter, which are caught
in the creeks among the mangroyes and
kept for the market in pens called
''crawlS." Most of the turtles of the
New York market are from this region

Thanks or Thank You"


A controversy has recently arisen
over the substitution of the word
thanks" for the expression 'thank
you" Some Of our esteemed contem-
poraries in the west hold that, while it
may be perfectly proper to limit ones
expression of gratitude TO the single
word thanks" it is in much better
taste to adhere to the older and more
formal acknowledgement. This is very
much a matter of personal opinion.
The late Charles Sumner, who in
most things carried the formality of
politeness to an extreme, invariably
used the word thanks" instead of the
term thank you," and, if we are not
greatly mistaken, this practice on his
part had the sanction of the highest So
elaI authorities in England. The
trouble with great many of our Amer
lean people is that in the fairs of
everyday life they are indisposed to
use either form of acknowledgement.
