GEORGE AND THE CATHOLICS.
The Great Labor Candidate Addresses an Open
Letter to Archbishop Corrigan.

New YORK, Dec. Henry George late La
Dor candidate for Mayor of this city. has ad-
dressed an open letter to Archbishop Corrigan,
Of the Catholic diocese of New York, in refer
ence to the recent pastoral letter by the latter in
which he took occasion to warn his people
against the land theories Of Mr.. George Nearly
all of the letter in reply Is devoted to contro-
versial discussion OF Mr.. Georges wallknown
theories on the question Of private ownership of
lands Aside from that the significant part of
the letter is as follows:
That part of your pastoral to which refer
has been taken by the press as placing the Cath
Ollie Church in the attitude OF champion of pri-
vats property in land and Is certainly calculated
to create the impression that the doctrine that
all men have equal and inalienable rights to the
use of this natural element is opposed to and
condemned by the Catholic faith. Since am not
Catholic, 1t might seem hardly BETTING in me
to deny your right as an archbishop to clothe
your political and economic opinions in the garb
of official religious teaching; but may, perhaps
be permitted to call your attention to the
fact that such right has been ex-
pressly denied by high Catholic author
the very opinions which you officially stigmatize
as opposed to Catholic teaching are openly
avowed. not only by Catholic laymen and
priests, but by prelates Of official dignity not
inferior to your own. Perhaps, also, may be
permitted to observe that the quotation you
make from the sncyclical of Pope Leo XIII in
no wise bears out the Interpretation you put
upon 1t. Instead of condemniug as dangerous
theory the doctrine that human rights to the
use of land are equal. it, on the contrary, con-
dennis only those who assail the right of porper-
ty which is sanctioned by the natural law, and
this restriction, which includes land. is still
further enforced by the Pope's characterization
of the property of which he speaks-a character
ization that clearly applies only to that species
of property which is the result of human exer-
tion."

MORRISON says we are in the midst of
industrial paralysis, with millions of idle
workmen and unproductive capital, though
our mountains are full of mineral wealth
and we have millions of productive lands
waiting for the plow. The reason is not,
as he would have. us think, because our
duties are too high. The present paralysis
is rather the result of strikes than because
there is no work to be done, and capital is
idle because the owners are unwilling to
enter upon undertakings with labor so
unsteady and unreliable. 1t is only tenn
porary furry, the result of poor counsel
and a partial understanding of the situa-
ton. 1t is useless and foolish for Morrison
and the revenue reformers to tell the peO
pie to 60 out into the West and 60 to culti-
waiting the waste lands. His party is doing
all it can through Sparks to prevent the
settlement of lands-they are doing all
they can to stop railroad construction,
without which they could neither get to
those lands or get to market with what
they produce. It would be foolish to at
tempt to raise more unless we can increase
our home demand by building up more
home manufactures. There is no use of
wearing out our lands without getting
anything in return. Unless we can increase
the consumers it would be folly to in
crease the producers.
Helena weekly herald., 1886-07-15

MoRRIsON's report on Randall's tariff
bill is more of success as pOlitica sar-
casm than of "the just comprehension
and intelligent treatment of the subject"
of which the writer speaks. We can agree
with Morrison that the removal of the
tobacco tax will furnish no new employ
ment. 1t would hardly lower the price to
those who enjoy the luxury Of the weed.
The tobacco growers are now making more
money than any other class of cultivators
of the SOIL We had better keep the tax
and use the avails in payment of our
national debt. That is in the line of re-
ducing public burdens. If we are not
ready to build navy or assume the charge
of the telegraph system as part of our
postal service, we have always good in
vestment of every dollar of surplus with
out allowing dollar of. it to remain idle

RiOting in Ireland.

DUBLIN, July 14.-During the rioting at
Belfast last night between Catholics and
Protestants four taverns and a number of
dwelling houses were wrecked. The soldiers
charged the rioters several times and at
last succeeded in clearing the main streets.
In the by-ways, however, dangerous knots
of men are lurking and fears of a renewal
of the disturbances are entertained. Among
those wounded last night was a sergeant
and it is thought that he cannot recover.
A constable and many civilians received
severe wounds.
This morning the head constable of
Waterford forced private soldier to at
tempt to arrest two Orangemen, father and
son, and the latter shot and killed both the
constable and soldier. The situation at
Waterford is serious, and the streets are
patrolled by police and cavalry.
BELFAST, July 1.-THE city is quiet to-
day. Indications show that most of the
fig hting was done between the police and
Orangemen, the latter assailing the officers
because they prevented Orangemen from
attacking Catholics Policeman Gardner
who was reported to have been killed, is
not dead, but fatally injured and is lying at
the point of death. Two civilians, named
McWaters and McElroy, were shot dead
Fifteen persons are still in the hospitals,
suffering from injuries received during the
riot last night.

For Clerk and Recorder.

w. T. Mcfarland is spoken of as good
man for the Republican nomination for
county clerk and recorder. Nc has ability
fitted to such an office.-Mineral Argus.
If Mcfarland is willing, we hope to hear
of his nomination by unanimous consent of
the party. We have known Will since he
was lad of twelve years, and no one has
better qualities of head and heart.
The years he has resided in Montana have
made him hosts of friends. A protege in
earlier days of Col. Walter w. DeLacy, he
became one of his brightest graduates in
civil engineering. In Fergus county he
has wide acquaintance, aud everybody is
his friend His qualifications are of the
best. and his nomination for the Office
named would be equivalent to an election.
A ticket made up of such men as w. T.
Mcfarland will triumph by rousing
majority.

SPARKS seems obdurate to all the ap-
peals of our Delegate and is determined to
stand by his timber agents in their seiz-
ures. The extreme heat of the season and
anxiety of Congressmen to get home and
look after their canvass, renders it i'm
probable that any serious, sensible legisla-
tion can be got through to help us. In
fact we may expect that when Congress is
out of the way Sparks will have nothing
to restrain him and will be more unreason-
able than ever Between the President,
Sparks and the dry weather, too, Montana
is having hard time, but we have serene
faith that our people will survive them all

For our part we should very much pre-
fer to see all proceedings ..of the Senate
held in open session, but it has been the
custom, not only in the national Senate,
but we believe, in all State Senates, to hold
secret executive sessions in acting upon
nominations. 1t is supposed to secure to
members greater freedom of expression of
personal opinions and greater freedom of
action. 1t is rather late in the day to stig-
matize as a star-chamber proceeding. what
has been the practice through generations
of Democratic ascendency. Nor do we
take the view that there was any dirty
work done in rejecting the nomination of
Solicitor General GOOde. The develop
ments in the telephone investigations show
that Goode was quick to do the work that
that was expected of Garland in payment
for his stock. If the nomination of Gar
land had not been acted upon before these
developments, no doubt he would have
been rejected also. The present Senate
has gone as far as the most exacting rule
of courtesy to the wishes of the executive
has ever impelled any body of men to 60.
The President does not pay much respect
to the wishes of Congress, if we are to
judge by the number of vetoes that he
Eliminates. The treatment that he has
received from the Senate is gentlemanly
and generous compared with that which
he has shown in return.

THE outlook for our stock interests are
just now very gloomy. There have been
more abundant rains in other parts of the
Territory than in this vicinity, but the
complaint is general that there is scarcity
of water everywhere. The SHOWS are gone
from the mountains and the springs and
streams are failing fast. The feed is short
and thin and fast drying up. In addition
tion to all the rest, the extreme hot
weather is on us earlier than usual and is
using up our little remaining moisture
with great rapidity. There is time for the
situation to improve by good rains and
cooler weather. In to-day's dispatches we
hear the good news of abundant rains in
Northern Texas, where the suffering has
been extreme. We may yet have good
rains that will give US another crop of late
feed. 1t is too late to give us hay crop,
and there will be less put up this year
than ever before in Montana. Should we
have no rains and a hard winter follow
there must necessarily be great suffering
and loss of stock. There is reason for our
people to watch the progress of the season
with anxiety. So great is the drought that
the earth no longer gets cool during the
night There is neither rest or refresh
ment for man or beast.

lowing pointer, which ought to be regarded
as "a word to the WISE:

This refers to swindling operation that

men who conductit sell packages of tea
and coffee under the representation that
each package contains some article OF

Helena weekly herald., 1886-07-15

The Senate has passed the bills setting
aside large forest reservation at the head
of the Missouri and Clarke's fork of the
Columbia. Perhaps Sparks may resent
this interference with his more general
reservation schemes. Between the two, it
is not meant the people of Montana should
be allowed any wood for fuel or timber for
building or working mines. And vet not
withstanding Sparks and the whole power
of the administration and Congress COM
bined, the people of Montana will neither
leave the country, stop building or mining
or go cold They fancy they have as good
a right in this country as any body that
has never seen it. And after the whole
surface of Montana has been patched over
with reservations, our people will exercise
some of their reserved rights.

his political friends should state it authOri-
tatively.-New Northwest.
The undertOne of Democratic talk in
Helena is to the effect that party dissen-
tions do not promise well for Mr.. TOole
should he again become the nominee for
Delegate Those who concede this fact, how.
ever, are unwilling to take up with Major
Maginnis, whose contests for Congress
were uniformly successful. They declare
that local and minor nominations are
enough for the Irish-that the Milesian
wing has had all of the Delegate honors to
which it is entitled-and to the Southern
faction rightfully belongs the Congression-
al and Federal places. As near as can be
learned, that is about the way the domin-
ant Democrats view present party matters.
For Delegate probably Hon. Sam Word
would be most satisfactory to the ruling
power next to Mr.. Toole, whose success at
the polls the party leaders appear to great

ary seats to be voted for, mostly in the

decisevely beaten. Bigotry and selishness

Harrington for coalition ministry and
proposes to carry througe some of the min
