One of the Astons on last Satur.

have been an accident. Aston

One day last week Mrs. Kelly's

a day OF two afterwards.
The Hon. r.. l.. Smith left the

had been at homo during Christ

he is rather proud of being the

lie might be, for he was elected by

Tho population of China has been a

Tic Case of DR.. ncalysx.
HE NAY D1 CATHOLIC, nut is no Iorarr
A PAPIST.


Tho daily papers publish some inter
views with Father McGlynn which make
it quite clear that he has broken with til.
Church of Rome finally. He may still
be a Catholic, but he is no longer eithern
Romanist or n l'apiSt. One or two sen
fences from an Interview in the NewY York
Tribune may suffice to illustrate ilic
spirit Of tho whole: /
81 have no intention or de:Irr o. seek
ing rehcaring, at least not until the
Roman authorities have been taught, BY
more bitter experiences than they have
yct'ha'l, to mini their own spiritual bust
ness at home" "Few can know as well
as | the mcrciless and obstinate consist
ency OF the Roman machine in sticking
to the errors OF policies and politics when
they are in the interest OF the ambition OF
temporal powers and pccnninry interests
of.thc machine itself" People make n
mistake in attributing to the Roman ma
chine an intelligence and virtue and
single minded devotion to spiritual inter
ests, i'll all of which the machine is ludi-
crously wanting"
II IS quite idle to attempt to distinguish
between the Roman Catholic Church and
Father carf govern his world-iamily only
by machinery; an imperial sway is neces-
sarlly beurenucracy, not less so in the
Roman Church than in tho Russian or
Chinese Empire; for the simple reason
that no one man can personally know ali
the administration OF household whose
members are numbered by the million.
Between local self-governmcnt and bu-
reaucratic administration there is not and
cannot be any middle ground in large
organization.
McGIynn politically and ecclesiasticallv a
Protestant, though, he may still be thco-
logically Catholic. Either lie must
rccant and submit to the authority OF
Rome, or Rome must rccant and nc
knowledge that her authority isnot abso-
Lutte but limited. And no one familiar
with the history Of Rome will anticipate
tho latter alternative as possible. Clris-

JOHN NICHOLS.
MASTER WORKMAN OF THE KNIGHTS
OF LABOR OF NORTH CAROLINA,
AND MEMBER OF CONGRESS.

There are several reasons why John
Nichols, member of the House of Re-
representatives. from North Carolina, is
a prominent figure in that body. He is
an independent, and defeated the
democratic candidate when he ran
for congress; he belongs to the once
despised class of "poOr whites, he is
master workman of the Knights of
Labor of his state, and is an exceed
iugly we'll informed and interesting
man His progress from poverty and
obscurity to honored citizenship is an
other instructive chapter in biogra-
ply.
The congressman was born in Wake
county, North Carolina, November IA,
1884. At the age of Is, after receiv-
ing a common school education he
was apprenticed to the printing bust
ness. Having served his full term of
six years, he agreed to work as fore
man of the office, before school, after
school and on Saturdays, for his
board and payment of his tuition in a
neighboring academy. He married
shortly before the war. When the
struggle began Mr.. Nichols was con-
scripted, but was retained by the
state government to print paper
money. AS the war progressed his
salary became prodigiously large, but
such was the depreciation of the pa
per money with which he was paid
that he was not actually worth more
than ten dollars month. With the
coming of the invader, Gen. Sher-
man, Mr.. Nichols fortunes bright
ened. He bartered the produce of his
garden for such luxuries as coffee, tea
and sugar, and he printed songs, etc.,
for the federal army. Now, more
over, he found his accumulation of
currency marketable, the soldiers
buying it for . axes at cards.
The war paved the way for Mr..
Nichols success as printer and pub
Usher. From 1878 to 1877 he was prin-
cipal of the North Carolina Institute
for the deaf and dumb and the blind.
He was revenue stamp agent at Dur
ham, North Carolina, from 1880 to 1881,
President Garfield appointed him
postmaster at Raleigh, North Caro-
lima. He was relieved from the office
in 1885. AS Secretary and Treasurer
of the State Fair Association Mr..
Nichols is a conspicuous citizen Of
the commonwealth which gave him
birth.
Mr.. Nlchols's district is all excep-
tionally interesting one. 1t contains
thirty-eight cotton factories, employ
ing from one hundred to five hundred
hands each, and is the site of the larg
est smoking tobacco factory in the
world, which employs from eight
hundred to one thousand hands, near
W all black Tn hi n c trict il n lsO one
