CHRISTIAN EDUCATION.
Pope Leo XAIE. Discusses the Subjec
atS0me Length

BALTIMORE, Dec. pa copy of let
ter sent by Pope Leo XIII. to the Roman
Catholic hierarchy of England has just been
received in Baltimore by Archbishop Glib
bOns, the prelate of the church in America.
The subject of the letter is Christian edu-
cation. 1t has been translated and will be
published in full in tomorrow's Catholic
Union. The holy father commands the
great vigilance of the clergy in looking
after the Christian education of the child
rem of England. He encourages and
praises them and assures them of his
special commentator and good will in the
prosecution of their meritorous work. The
laity also come in for share of the Pope's
commentator for their readiness to supply
what is needed for the maintenance of the
schools, not only the wealthy contributors.
but those who are of slender means and
poor. The Pope then continues:
In these days and in the present condition
of the world, when the tender age of children
is tempted on every side by so many and
various dangers, hardly anything can be
imagined more fitting than the union with
literary instruction of sound teaching in faith
and morals. For this reason we have more
than once said that we strongly approved of
the voluntary schools which, by the work and
liberality Of private individuals, have been
desire their number increased as much as
possible. We, ourselves, seeing the condi-
ton of things in this city, continue with the
greatest effort, and at great cost, to provide
an abundance of such schools for the children
of Rome, for it is in and by these
schools that the Catholic faith, our
greatest and best Inheritance, is
preserved whole and entire. In these schools
the liberty of parents is respected and what
is most needed. especially in the prevailing
license Of opinion and of action, b. these
schools, that good citizens are brought mp for
the state; for there is no better citizen than
the man who has believed and practiced the
Christian faith from his childhood. The fu-
ture condition OF the state depends upon the
early training of the children, the wisdom of
our forefathers and the very foundations of
the state are ruined by destructive errors of
those who would have children brought up
without religious education. You see. there
fore. venerable brethren, with what earnest
forethought parents must beware of entrust-
ing their children to schools in which they
cannot secure religious teaching.

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.

The board of education has finally awak-
ened to the importance of industrial edu-
cation and is now taking proper steps to
bring the matter to the attention of the st.
Paul people, and if popular sentiment is
aroused to the same appreciation of its i'm
portance a system of manual training will
be inaugurated in connection with the pub
lie schools. The initiatory step taken by
the board of education in this direction was
to invite Prot. WOODWARD of St. Louis,
the director of the manual school in that
city, to lecture in st. Paul on the
practical details of industrial education.
When it was made known that Prof.
WooDwARD's services could be obtained
and that the board of education had no
fund at its disposal out of which the ex-
penses of DR.. WoODwARD's visit could be
betrayed, the chamber of commerce
promptly came to the rescue and advanced
the necessary amount. Consequently it
has been arranged that DR.. WOODWARD
shall deliver his lecture in the high school
building next Tuesday evening. The sub
ject is one of paramount importance to the
people of this city, and it is to be hoped
that all who are concerned in de-
veloping our educational interests will
avail themselves of the opportunity to have
the subject explained by one who
has given much study to this special SUBJ
ject. Industrial education is one Of the
live questions of the day. In some respects
it is the most important problem in connec-
ton with the future growth and progress Of
our national development. The GLOBE
has from time to time urged it's importance.
In fact, it claims the credit of having inau-
gurated its agitation in the Northwest. 1t
has been gratifying to it to see its
opinions quoted and Endorsed by eminent
practical educators in all parts of the Union.
But it is still more gratifying to know that
our own people have been aroused to the
dignity and Importance of the subject, and
are moving in the direction of inaugurating
a system which in the end is to be the most
important factor in solving the great social
and industrial problems which are now per-
picking the world. With its enterprise and
facility for getting to the front in every
useful movement it will be matter of sur
prise and no little modification if st. Paul
falls behind III this attempt to place this
city in the lead in inaugurating the most
beneficial feature that could be connected
with our public system.

OUR LOST BLIZZARD.

The New York World of last Monday re-
ports that chill-blast from the Northwest
was driving the shivering population from
the streets and sent them to seek comfort
by the glowing fires inside the closed doors
of their dwellings. While the wntry blasts
were sweeping along the Eastern coast, up
hele in Minnesota fur garments had been
laid away, the furnace fires had been put
out and windows and doors thrown open to
admit little cool air into the dwellings,
while the population of our cities were
thronging the streets and enjoying all the
salubrity of a Florida winter. 1t is some
satisfaction to know that our blizzard which
was lost has been heard from and we urge
our New York friends to return it to US, as
we need it to aid in the construction of our
ice palace.

A CHEAP CHRISTMAS DINNER.


There are many humble homes where the
shadow Of poverty shuts out the light of
our Christmas festivity. The inmates feel
that the demands upon them to provide for
everyday existence are too urgent to per-
init the outlay of a sufficient amount to pro-
vide the luxury of Christmas dinner. 1t
is for the benefit of those with limited in
comes that the GLOBE publishes herewith
bill of fare which has kindly been fur
nished US by friend which shows how a
Christmas dinner for eight people can be

however plain they may be and however
stratened the circumstances of the
occupants, but that by frugal man.
agement have saved as much as
So for the Christmas dinner. To
prepare this dinner may seem formidable
task for young housewife, but determined
effort will secure it. Here is the bill of
fare with the cost of each item: Beef or
oyster soup, 81 cents; turkey, s pounds at
Is cents pound, $1.20; 1 quart of white

1 pound of soda crackers, s cents; 1 loaf

THE ANNIVERSARY NUMBER.

The holiday number of the GLOBE will
be issued tomorrow morning. 1t will be
twenty-four-page paper, with handsome
cover and its columns will TEEN with mat
tiers of special importance to all who are in
terested in the great cities of st. Paul and
Minneapolis. First among the important
matters covered is the growth of St. Paul,
clear and succinct account being given of
its progress from the time of the first settler
to the past year, with its magnificent record
of buildings erected. business done and
general prosperity. In preparing this re-
view the dry statistics have been dispensed
with as far as possible, merely enough
figures being retained to give the
weight of authority to the descriptive
matter. from which, as consequence. a
much clearer conception of the city's pro-
gress can be obtained. The story of ST.
Paurs development reads like tale from
the Arabian Nights, so rapid has been it's
growth and so brilliant the achievements of
its enterprising citizens. Minneapolis is
treated in a similar manner and the history
of her great and substantial advance shows
her to be the worthy counterpart of st.
L
their commerce, manufactures, building,
iobbing and railroad interests. and even the
casual reader, either at home or abroad.
can but be impressed with the magnificent
results of energy and public spirit
ednesS, combined with unequaled
natural advantages, as shown in
the story of the twin cities.
In addition to the review feature of the
GLOBES annual number, there are entertain
ing articles on winter sports and the customs
and habits peculiar to the North. the ice
palace and its counterpart, the great New
Orleans exposition, the club houses of the
two cities, and many other matters of inter
est. The cover Is artistically designed and
handsomely engraved, while scattered
throughout the number are illustrations of
public buildings, winter sports, etc. This
anniversary number makes handsome and
valuable souvenir of the year 1885. and to

THE ICE CARNIVAL.
Why it Should BE Thoroughly Ad
HertiSed Abr0ad.

why IT SnOuEQ BE Thoroughly ADD
Vertised Abroad.
To the Editor of the Globe:
A resident of st. Paul and compelled to
visit number of towns in Iowa and Mis-
souri, within ten days past, have been
fOrcibly struck with the fact that, a. far as
my experience has afforded me chance to
judge, there seems to be dense ignorance
pervading that we propose to build an ice
palace and hold carnival after the 1st of
February next. OF course, living in st.
Paul, I am possessed to certain extent
with pride in the city with which | am
identified, and naturally have mentioned
to business men with whom l have con-
versed the expected good time anticipated.
In only one instance have l found a mer-
chant who seemed apprised OF the coming
event. From each and all others l would
hear the remarks: lis that so? l did not
suppose it would amount to anything. If
l supposed it would pay to do so, I'd take a
trip to st. Paul in February" etc. Nearly
every one hadn't heard of it," The truth
is, if st. Paul expects her ice palace and
winter carnival to attract the attention of
citizens outside her own domain, she must
advertize the thing and let tine country
generally know that she does not intend to
lie dormant during the winter Let posters
sufficiently large to attract attention, and
announcing the coming carnival be placed
cOnspicuously in every railroad depot.
Have the roads running into our city pub
fish rates to the carnival. Do something to
let the country knowit, or the probability is
that the citizens of st. Paul, and they only,
will be the chief visitors to it. A. II. B.

THE SAME OLD TRICK.

The leopard cannot change his spots.
And so it is that the New Orleans
Times-Democrat recognizes in the work
of the South Dakota state government
movement the hand OF the same
Judge HUGH CAMPBELL who played
so cnspicuous part in the carpet
bag regime in Louisiana. Our New Orleans
contemporary says: ''There is much in the
whole affair that smacks very strongly of
the political days in Louisiana when CAMP
BELL was in power here, and it is evident
that some of the lessons learned here are
being put to good use to-day in the land OF
the Sioux" A carpet-bagger's hand is
something that never forgets its cunning,
and is always recognizable. Especially one
that played part in the malodorous reign
of carpet-baggery in Louisiana.

was strain on the constitution to pass
such bill, but that he supported it
because of the urgency to have the matter
settled definitely and it was the only practi-
cable method that was in sight. 1t is bet
ter that the electors chosen by the people
should name the president than that con-
gress should do it. Any bill that may he
passed which will invest any individual
with the powers of the chief magistracy of
the nation without receiving the warrant
and sanction of the people is un-American
in principle and ought not to be considered.
The RANDALL plan is better than the plan
embodied in the senate bill. The electoral
college which is elected by the people to
name an administration for four years ought
to be continued for four years to see that
the people are protected in having the kind
of an administration that they desired.

EVARTS, PLUNGE.

The announcement that Senator EvARTS
intends to follow Senator BECK in speech
in favor of continued silver coinage will
fall like bombshell in the camp of the OPP
ponents of the measure. Of all the men,
bers of the senate Mr.. EvARTs is perhaps
the last one that would have been picked
out as an advocate of silver coinage The
fact that he is senator from New York was
sufficient to crafty the belief that he would
have advocated whatever the gold bugs IA
vored. The additional fact that he is known
to be an aspirant for the Republican presiden-
tial nomination and that it would be neces-
cation in the national convention would
have suggested that he should be extremely
cautious about antagoniZing the money
power of the metropolis. But Mr.. EvARTs
is very independent sort of man. He
has an idea that he is capable of forming his
opinions and of being a leader of public
sentiment. 1t looks as if he was now 60
ing to make plunge that will be decisive
of his future political career. 1t is safe to
assume that Mr.. EvARTs has care
fully counted the cost and knows
exactly what he is doing. He evil
IDENTIFY knows on which side Of
his slice of bread the butter has been spread.
After listening to Senator BEcK's speech
in the senate the other day he declares that
BECK's argument cannot be refuted. Con-
sequently he announces his purpose to make
a speech on the same side of the question.
The result will be that he will draw upon
his head the anathemas of the gold power
and the billingsgate of the subsidized press
controlled by that power 1t may succeed
in strangling Mr.. EvARTs and crushing
his political prospects. And then,
again, it may not. AS we have
said, it is most probable that Mr..
EvARTs has calculated the chances
and is confident of being on the winning
SIDE In taking this position Mr.. EvARTs
will antagonlze his own party in the senate.
If he is strong enough to bring his own
party over to his way of thinking it is evil
dent that he is better qualified for success
full leadership than has heretofore been sup
posed. Of one thing, however, he is as
sured. He will have strong popular
backing and will make himself leader of
the masses.

LINCOLN, Neb.. Dec 23.-Mr. Patrick
Egan president of the Irish National league
OF America, has received a cablegram from
Hon. L. M. Harrington, NJ. P, secretary
OF the National league of Ireland in which
MI Harrington states Parnell will not be
able to attend the league convention in
tended to be held in Chicago in January
next, and that he is ''inclined to think il
best to postpone the convention until after
the meeting OF parliament in February"
1t is doubtless the desire of the Irish party
to know with some definiteness the probable
outcome of the present situation before
making any authoritative announcement of
their plans or before sending any message
to their American brothers, and it also
seems that they regard Mr. Parnell's con-
slant presence on the scene of negotiations
as indispensable. The convention. i'm ac-
cordance with these suggestions, is there
fore postponed to a date to be determined
npon hereafter between the executive of the
American league and Mr.. Parnell. MI.
Egan will call the national committee of
the American league together some dav in
January, by which time there may be in
formation from Ireland enabling definite
date to be fixed for the convention.

Parnell's Clever Tactics.

Speclh W lu6
LONDON, Dec. 23.-Mr. Parnelrs alleged
letter to the Nationalist leaders excites
smile in political circles here. so childlike
is it and bland. Mr.. Parnelrs tactics are
extremely clever, and he covers up his
tracks extremely well as rule, but in this
case the ruse is thrown away, because at
the time he was penning the letter
the gentleman therein directed not
to formulate the Nationalist demands
had already done so. The points of the
Nationalist proposals are well understood
among Mr.. Parnell's intimate friends, and
it will be the strongest thing yet in the his
tory of British politics if, despite all pre-
cautions, young Herbert Gladstone is not
in possession of such an outline of them as
Parnell chooses he should have. and through
young Herbert, will reach the grand old
man before noon tomorrow.

ia NJ as
The busiest day of the year is the day be-
fore Christmas. Everything is hustle and
excitement. In the home, in the shop. on
the street, everywhere busy hands are max
ing preparations for the great festal day OF
Christendom. 1t is the merchants last day
to dispose of his holiday wares and he is
rushing them. 1t is the last day the Santa
Claus of every Christian home has to lay in
stock the supply of holiday gifts for the
little subjects Of mis- vast kingdom. 1t is
the day when the business man is
busy balancing his books and closing
his accounts preparatory to taking
the vacation which the holiday week prom
ises him. Nor is the excitement of the day
confined to the adults. The brains of the
little ones are in a dizzy whirl in joyous ex-
pectation of what the morrow will bring.
Their excited fancies are varying through
Kriss Kringle's immense bazaar, and each is
selecting for himself or herself the objects
most coveted, and wondering in their young
imaginations whether dear old Santa will
remember to bring the very goods they have
ordered. They have faith in the good old
saint because they know him to be very
faithful to his promises.

THE KO>E TREE.

In lifes fair spring our soul puts forth a tree
Most blooming, with soft roses red as fire:
Emblems of glory, love and constancy,
And all high deeds that quicken mans de-
sire.
How bright it glows at morning! and how
late
It's perfume scents the air, when all things
court
Our soul to raptures naught can satiate!
But hope is feeting, and our dreams full
short
The rough winds take flower each eventide.
A flower we fain from all the world would
hide
And ever breathe its petals pale and blown.
Alas! the dews fall. soon the sun goes down.
And when the night spreads DER US, cold and
gray,
The rose tree fades-the soul has flown away.
