PREACHER MORRILL, AND THE
CATHOLIC CHURCH.

Preacher Morrill, is never in his ele-
ment except when attacking the Catho-
lic Church. In it he sees everything
that is wicked, and is not backward in
treating his hearers every Sunday to a
harangue against the Church generally
aud the Pope in particular. Yet Leo
XIII. sits in his chair and receives the
congratulations Of the whole Christian
world on the 6ftieth anniversary Of his
taking orders IN this much abused
Church. Even the heads ofsuch un-
compromising Protestant nations as
Germany, Great Britain and our own
United States do mot forget the event,
but emphasize it by forwarding expen-
|siye and 3appr opriate gifts 60 His Holi-

LORE sALIsBURY's COERCION LAWS

Lord Salisbury's. Government, by
their brutal treatment of men who
have the courage to express their views
and honest convictions as to what they
would consider to be in the interest of
their country and fellow-countrpmen en-,
will have great deal to answer for in
the near future. The time is coming
when Englishmen will discover that
the present Tory Government, with the
aid Of Liberal deserters, will attempt to
deprive them Of their liberty by the
means adopted in Ireland. 1t must be
a weak Government that is afraid Of
free speech and a free press, and who
are compelled to gag the press and
place the leaders Of the people in a
prison cell. Lord Salisbury and his
man Friday must have been taking
lessons from some one engaged in sub
DUNG refractory animals. They evil
IDENTIFY intend TO stalve the Irish into
subsection, believing when that is ac-
complished the Irish people will thank
fully accept anything, however small,
chat may be thrown to them. There is
every reason to believe that the evil de-
signs OF the class Legislators will be
frustrated by an over wilelming vote of
Eug|isl, voters, who 10 protect their
rights will rise in their might and re-
store the rights to Ifish1neil, OF which
they SO long have heen deprived. A
cause that has for its champions the
leaders of the English Liberals and
Irish Home R7lle members led by that
great and good man, the Right Hon.
W. e. Gladstone. must and will, de-
spite all efforts of its titled opponents,
march Ola to victory.

IN HONOR OF JACKSON

names of our American heroes are i'm

at New Orleans. will never be forgot
ten, and the name Of The noble officer
who achieved The great victory will 90
down the pa5h OF time with those OF
such illustrious warriors as Washing
ton aud Grant. and many others. The
celebration last Saturday night was
one worthy the occasion. The most
prominent Democrats of the city, to-
gether with many Republicans. who
could not let the occasion to do honor
to sold Hickory" pass by un-
noticed, were present. The club
rooms were filled to their utmost
capacity. The decorations were
appropriate, banners in endless profu-
sion, and an oil portrait Of General
Jackson, with President Cleveland at
his right and Mayor Ames at his left.
Among the guests were the following :

and a prisonerin his own city has at
tracted the attention Of the whole
world. Unbelievers, sceptics, Protest
ants and Catholics have turned their
eyes to Rome, some to fear and to
watch every actlcn and every word
that may fall from his lips, others tore
spect, yenerate and pay fealty to the
head of the Church of Christ.
Mr.. Morrill,, it is scarcely necessary
to remark, does not draw his inspira-
ton from a trustworthy source. Peo-
pie in these days do not place much
faith in the reports Of irresponsible
newspapers. In this connection,
Brownson's Review facetiously re-
marks that an editor lights somewhere
upon "a mares nest," corks up a
startling incident,'' or the terrible
tale of the horrors of Popery,'' puD-
fishes it, and forthwith it is copied by
ali the editors Of the same brotherhood
throughout the country pious deacons
have more vinaigre faces than ever !;
pious old ladies are sure the end of the
| world is near the politician screams
out ''the country is in dangers" and
the double distilled hypocrite, with his
pockets gor ed with the hard earnings
wrung from the poor seamstresses, the
widow and the orphan, who puts a
penny in charity's box and takes a
shilling out, clasps his Bible, with eyes
upturned and a graveyard face, sets up
a piteous howl, that the Bible is liz
danger, cries ''d0wn with the Pope, The
Jesuits, and up with the Bible," and
sets the whole community in commo-
tian. Then the insignificant Morrill,
gets ''Wlnd of it," to use somewhat
inelegant metaphor. and pours it into
the ears of his congregation. Forum
ately the story mas about spent its fury,
and after this profound theologian''
palms it OF as enlanating from his own
fertile brain it goes no further.

NEW YORK and Indiana have bee

NEW YORK and Indiana have beer
the lucky States for the Democratic
party. Beginning with 1876 the can
ddates Tor the Presidency and Vice
Presidency hsye come from these two
States. Grover Cleveland will III al
Likelihood be renoninated Thomas Il.
Hendricks is dead but Dan Vooh1ss,
tie embodiment of pure Democracy,
still lives. In the natural recurrence OF
things we may not be surprised il the
tiuket shall be Cleveland and VOORHEES,

cure over 23O votes in the electoral col
lege. New York and Indiana once
more, and four years hence the Demo
cratic party can succeed with candid
ates from any two States in the Union.
LAST Tuesday President Cleveland
received a beautifully engrossed copy
of the proceedings OF a public meeting
of Catholics Of Richmond, Va, held in
celebration OF the jubilee CT Pope Leo
Kill, at which resolutions were adopt
ed thanking the President for the
honor which he has paid to our Holy
Fathers golden jubilee, = and at which

How Gas is Made.

How few people can intelligibly ex-
plain some of the most binary things
in every day life. An official of the
CITY gas-works was heard to say not
long ago. says the St. Paul Dispatch.
that if he might judge by the number
of times he was asked for information
not more than two people in ten know
how common Illuminating gas is made.
They all seem to understand he SAID,
that it comes out of soft coal, but they
are ignorant of the process by which 1t
is extracted. We do not doubt this at
all, for, as we have said to you several
times, it is the very common things
that we are apt to overlook in our
search for information. You will un-
derstand therefore, why we select sub
jects to talk about with which you ard
everybody else ought to be familiar.
Now, let us give you very simple
explanation of gas-making. Break
up piece of bituminous coal into
small fragments and fill the bowl of a
clay tobacco pipe with them. Cover
the mouth of the bowl with wet clay
and then thoroughly dry it. Put the
bowl of the pipe into fire where it

a yellowish smoke come out of the
stem, and if you touch match to the
smoke it will burn brightly, for it is
nothing more nor less than the gas from
the coal.
You can purify and collect this gas
in very simple way. Fill bottle
with water and turn it upside down in
bowl of water. You know the water
will not run out of the bottle because
the air pressure on the water in the
bowl will prevent it. Put the end OF
| the pipe stem under the mouth of the
bottle and the gas will bubble up
| through the water, and if the pipe
| were large enough to make a great
deal of gas the bottle would be entire
| " filled with it.
You have seen the immense quaint
/ ties of coke which they have at the gas
works? That is what is left of the coal
after the gas has been burned out OF
it. Coke is carbon, only small part
of what was in the coal having gone
off with the gas. Take the clay cover
ing off your pipe and you will find the
bowl filed with this coke.
Now that is precisely the way gas is
made in large quantities at the gas.
works. Instead of using pipe bowls
they use big retorts. Heating coal red
hot in a closed retort is very diff,ren
from burning it in the open air. A
| large pipe from the retort carries of
| the product of the coal, consisting o.
steam, tar, air, and ammonia, as well
as gas. The ammonia and tar 60 into
tanks and the gas into coolers, ant
then over lime which takes up the acids
in it, into the immense iron gas-hold
ers which you have seen at the works
These holders are open at the bot
| tom. and stand, or rather swing, il
tanks of water, being adjusted b,
means of weights. As the gas comes
into them they rise up out of tn,
water, but the bottoms are always sub
merged so that the gas can not escape
The large gas pipes, or mains, as the,
are called, connect with the holders
and conduct the gas through the street
to the houses where it is used. Th
pressure is given to the gas by tn
weight of the iron holders, which ar
