"a CHURLISH PRIEST"

The action of the Rev. Frederick Longinus,
the pastor of the German Catholic church at
Pottsvilie Pa, has caused feeling of right
eous indignation among Grand Army men
throughout the State. 1t appears that John
Storms, member Of the above church and
a comrade also of the local Post, before his
death, which occurred last Saturday, ex-
pressed a desire to be borne to his last rest
ing place by his comrades according to the
ritual Of the Grand Army. This Father Lon
ginus refused, but gave permission that the
Post, without badges, might enter the church
and cemetery. This prohibition had the
effect Of creating deep feeling of bitterness
between the Catholics and Protestants at the
place, the Post declaring in denunciatory
order that the Baltimore Council decided
that the Grand Army was not secret So
ciety within the meaning Of the papal bull
and that Hazelton priest had permitted
the Order to attend funeral without any
restriction whatever.
Father Longinus, On his part, says his ac-
tion hes been approved by Archbishop Ryan,
and that the action of the Council was just
the reverse of what the Post stated. But
under any circumstances, he says, the decree
has not yet been promulgated from Rome,
and until it is he can only obey the rules of
the Church. He also claims that in the
Hazelton affair the Post entered the church
in violation Of the priests order.
There is hardly any defense for the priests
course in this matter, because if he is mis-
taken he is wilfulIy mistaken. With two
or three exceptions the priests in all parts of
the country have recognized the Grand rmy
as not being secret society in the meaning
of the Church's prohibition against the same,
| and have even participated in its ceremonies
There are several priests who served as SOL
diers before taking orders and are now active
members of the Grand Army. 1t is true, as
Father Longinus says, that the decision of the
recent Plenary Council in Baltimore has not
been promulgated, for the reason that there
are certain formalities yet to be complied
with before it is officially published, but
every one cognizant of the proceedings of
the Council knows full well that in order to
have definite ruling upon the subject, and

who is proud Of his having been soldier.
The GAR. is the only Order which spends
the most Of its money in aiding those who
are outside its ranks Where it uses 81 in
relieving the wants of its own members, it
expends s. upon men who never lifted
hand to help it along
To its honor, be it said, it has never stopt
when an appeal was made to it to ask
whether the applicant was q member or not.
1t has only inquired whether he was needy,
and whether he served his country faith
fully. 1t is not proposed to abate one iota
Of this generous catholicity. 1t is not sug-
gesled that the relief to comrades and COM
rades' widows and orphans shall be made
one shade less free. 1t must rather be made
more comprehensive and ready, as advanc-
ing years and increasing intirmities make
the need of relief more urgent. But it is
evident to all that no fair-minded soldier
should stand aloof and refuse to do his share
of this noble work. If it is right for any man
to be in the GAR, then it is wrong for any
old soldier to remain outside of it.

We are glad to see that everywhere the
Decoration Day orators took advantage Of
the occasion to urge all old soldiers to unite
themselves with the GAR. This is right.
This is the most pressing duty of every sol
dier now outside of the Order The burden
OF caring for the stricken ones of the struggle
has been borne long enough by few devoted
comrades; it should be shared by every man

This shows that in 4 membership of S25
there are but two Oregon soldiers, and but
10 CalifOrnians. The great bulk of the mem
bership is made up Of men who enlisted from
States east of the Mississippi River. At
least Onc-quarter are men who went into the
army from east of the Allegany Mountains.
This makes it plain how great boon it
would be to these men who have not been
able to come to the Encampment to have the
Encampment come to them. In this way
will be brought about reunions of old COM
rades which will be possible in no other
manner and we reiterate the prediction that
if the National Encampment is held in San
Francisco next year it will have an attend
ance more than double that of any recent
Encampment, and that the spirit and inter-
est of the proceedings will be five-fold that
of any predecessor, owing to the coming to-
gether Of long separated comrades, who have
not heretofore had any opportunity to meet
and will not have again such an opportunity
daring their natural lives.

A few weeks ago we published roster of
a San Francisco Post TO show how extensive
had been the exodus of Eastern soldiers to
the far West, and this again is an argument
for holding the National Encampment next
year at San Francisco, which would enable
tens of thousands Of old soldiers to attend
who had heretofore been too remote from
the places of meeting to he present and greet
their old comrades. In the Grand Army
Department of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE

ENGLAND AND RUSSIA,

The last reports from Europe bring the
news that peace is at last secured between
England and Russia, and on terms that are
by no means satisfactory to the British pub
lie. 1t is true that the question of the
boundary is settled, but no pledge has been
secured from Russia to respect the integrity
of Afshanistan or to refrain from making
further advance southwark, SO that this
treaty can only be looked upon as means
of healing England's wounded pride. 1t is
only seeming concession on the part of
Russia, and will in all probability amount
to nothing.
The Car, no doubt, is exceedingly happy
in the truce this so-called treaty affords him,
as every day war is delayed adds to Russian
strength. She is now indisputably fixed
within striking distance of Herat, and is
making her positions more and more inn
pregnable day by day. England, on the
other hand, has everything to lose by delay.
This truce affords her no opportunity what
ever TO acquire advantageous strategical
positions, as the slightest move northward
On her part would cause an immediate swoop
of the Russians on Herat-one of the greatest
calamities that could beiall England in that
quarter.
The conduct of the Gladstone ministry
has been singularly inconsistent all the way
through. While protesting the greatest de-
sire for peace and an opposition to an ag-
gressire foreign policy, it has carried on a
series Of petty wars, which-though bloody
and expensiye--have covered the English
arms with disgrace On account Of the weak
ness and ineiiiciency with which they have
been waged aud when real cause for nerve
and courage presented itself the Liberal
ministry allowed England to be bullied,
hoodwinked and diplomatized ont of points
which for the last century have been held
to he necessary for the salvation of India.

DOolOu 1IdilScflpl.
The death of Helen Hunt jackson brings
up afresh the vexed question of the author
ship of the Sake Holme stories. While it is
certain that during her life Mrs. Jackson
perSistently declared that she never wrote
them, it is just as certain that those who
knew her believed they were born of her
brain, whatever mothod might have been re-
sorted to in putting them on paper. The
typewriter was not popularity known four
teen years ago, the use OF which would have
enabled the author to say truthfully that the
stories in question were not from her pen,
but the statement might also have been made
had they been written from the authors die
tation. Internal evidence ,goes to show that
no one but Mrs. Jackson could have been
their author Their style, quality of thought
and general treatment all point conclusively
in that direction.
But what has puzzled, and still puzzles, the
reader is why Mrs. Jackson should have re-
fused to acknowledge work of which she
might have been justly proud. For months
DraXy MlllerS DOwry' and The Elders
Wife. formed the main attraction of the
magazine in which they appeared The lit
tie poems which were scattered through
these and other of the SAKE Holme Papers
first led to her Identification, and her friends
lost no time in claiming for her the credit of
being the writer. The denial might have
been impulsively made at the first out of cha
grin that her secret had been so easily dis
covered, and persisted in afterwards out of
sheer wilfulness. Be that as it may, the
whole matter is now in fair way Of being
settled. There is no longer any reason for
the secret being kept, if the facts be what we
have assumed, and the title page of the next
edition Of "The SAKE Holme Papers may
bear, without question, the familiar letters
of 'H. H.
