INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. AT a secret

the prosecution Of the persons alleged to have
been implicated in the election frauds and
the purpose is said to be to institute criminal

count out the R,publ,tan candidates for

United States District Attorney Turrie
made a statement regarding his connection
with the cases recently before the grand jury
and which the jury failel to find indictments
on. 1t has been freely charged that his sy IL
patty with those who are guilty of election
cookedness had a great deal TO do
with failure of the grand jury to act Judge
Turpie says he did his whole duty in the mat
ter and put before the jury every paper and
particle of proof submitted by the counsel for
the committee of 100; that indictments were
written that covered every point in the
cases, and would meet any possible findings
of the jury; that his assistant was personally

Vienna the kaieser stadt, with its popula-
ton of 10000 souls and its proud conscious
ness of intellectual superiority cannot boast
of even tiny public library. Perhaps thu;
is not surprising in country where nothing
can he had by those who have rot money to
pay for their wants, but it would seem that
the intellectual progress of the poorer classes
would be more readily insured by a public
library than by any other means Circulating
libraries abound and offer their literary treas
ures at the not very moderate rate of fifty
cents per month, with an additional 81 de
post as security for the first month This
being a small fortune fer the poor mechanic
and the half-starved shop girl, they are never
able to indulge in the luxury of reading. The
university is provided with fine library,
and the students are at liberty to use all
books for reference and study in the reading
room, but arc, under no conditions, permitted
to take a volume from the room
The royal house has huge library of 80
900 volumes, which quietly rest upon we'll
busted shelves, and are displayed TO sight
secrs, who are allowed and expected to be
overwhelmed by the. sight of so vast an
amount of the productions of mans intellect,
and who could not, if they would, take one
single peep and enjoy what lies buried be
meath. 1t does seem as though the generous
spirit which is said to possess the members of
the royal house would prompt them to give
this great treasure to thepeople. 1t is doubt
full, however, whether the light hearted
Vicnnese would appreciate the value of the
gift. The Austrian is a lover of art, but
beyond the pleasure and interest which be
displays in music and the play the working
man is depiorably ignorant While our
farmer is well informed upon the important

MONTREAL, Dec. Rev Father Rhuell-
man preached Sunday afternoon in St
Bridgets church on the labor question. He
said that, though the church fully recognized
the necessity of association among Catholic
youth, Catholics should cling to the associa-
tons approved by the church and should
shun those condemned by her The Knights
of Labor were controlled by the Freemasons
and FreemaSonry was condemned by the
the church. One of the greatest objections
to the Knights of Labor was that the associa-
ton recruited its members in the same fash
ion as did the secret societies, and kept them
bound down to secrecy by an oath The
United States clergy approving the order
was no reason why the Canadian clergy
should approve it.
