TIE HENNEPIN CANAL.

Senator CULLoM is again pressing the
Hennepin canal project upon the atten-
ton of congress. 1t is an evidence of
the good nature which prevails in con-
gress that the body will submit to be
perpetually worried by having such
an antiquated chestnut as this
Hennepin canal appropriation bill
brought up at every session. The Hen
ncpin canal would be good thing for
Chicago. 1t would remove that city
virtually over to the banks of the Mis-
sissippi, where it ought to have beenlo-
Gated in the first place. But so far as
the country at large is concerned, it
doesn't make any difference whether
the Hennepin canal is constructed or
not. If Chicago wants the Hennepin
canal she ought TO go to work and build
it, and not be forever pestering other
people about matter of purely local
concern.

THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY.

Catholics, and good many non-Cath-
OlicS, too. will be interested in the lay
ing of the corner stone to-day of the
great Catholic university which is to be
built at Washington. Locally the occa-
sion will have increased interest, be-
cause of the participation in the eXer-
ciSeS of Archbishop IRELAND. If con-
tinued on the lines laid down, the uni
verSity can not fail to be a grand sue
cess. That there is room for it no one
acquainted with the Catholic theory of
education will deny. Though it may be
argued that university can not be
truly great which is denominational.
and that its field of usefulness must
necessarily be limited, it Is neyerthe-
less a fact that there are enough Catho-
lies in the country to afford the uniyer-
Sity sufficient clientage. 1t is obvious,
too, that, believing as they do in denom-
national instruction. and at the same
time warm adherents of the cause of
higher education, the Catholics of
America have need of a university
which shall take rank with Harvard
and Yale. 1t is the Intention to give
such character and standing to
Washington university, the corner stone
of which will be laid to-day. Though
the theological feature will be made
prominent in the course of instruc-
ton, there is no reason why il the

METHODIST PROGRESS.

The action of the general Methodist
conference, extending the paStOrate term
limit from three years to five, is in the
line of legitimate ecclesiastical reform
and progress. In the earlier stages of
MethOdiSm, when the church was pio-
neer organization and when its work
largely consisted of carrying the gospel
to the frontier stations, its itinerant SyS-
TEN was one of the most popular as well
as the most useful features of Method
ism. In days gone by the circuit rider
was the herald of approaching civiliza-
ton, and in time became one of the
most potent factors in the grand devel
Opment this country has achieved. But
all our conditions have undergone
change. The country has been popula-
ted and everything has assumed the
character of stability. The Meth
dist church has kept pace with
the changing conditions until now
1t recognizes that the itinerant system
is no longer the useful factor in pushing
forward the cause of MethodiSm that 1t
once was. The Methodist church has
grown to be one of the most numerous,
as we'll as one of the wealthiest church
organizations. on the American CONT
nent. 1t is none the less active or ag-
gressive because of these changed condi-
tions, but it realizes that it must adapt
itself TO the more stable methods of the
age. Hence the disposition to restrict
itineraey and to give the pastors and
their congregations better opportunity
to become acquainted with each other
than formerly. Under the fve-year
limit-as now adopted-the pastor will
find more of an incentive when assigned
to a charge to forming plans and devils
ing methods for upbuilding his church
than when his term was limited to two

INVALID PENSIONS.
A Minority Report Adverse to the

WASHINGTON, May 23.-Representa-
tive Walker, of Missouri, from the COM
mittee On invalid pensions, has pre-
pared for presentation to the house a
minority report adverse to the bill eX-
tending the time during which claims
may be allowed for arrears of pensions.
The report states that it will require
s50O,000,000 to carry out the provisions
of the bill. Mr.. Walker says the bill,
if passed, will not only dispose of the
surplus, but will also add several hun
dredS of millions to the burdens of Il
nation already weighed down by taxa
ton. In conclusion, he says that the
American people have not only been
fair and just to the eX-soldiers but have
enacted pension laws with a liberality
and generosity unparalleled in the pen
sion legislation OF any country on earth.
In behalf OF the taXpaying public, a
large majority of whom are struggling
to make living, many even struggling
to keep the wolf from the door, he pro
tests against the passage of the bill.

sion on the Fisheries Treaty.
WASHINGTON, May 23.-In the secret
session to-day motion was made by
Senator Sherman to proceed to the con-
sideration of the fisheries treaty in open
session. A half-hour's debate followed,
at the end of which the senate ad-
journed without action. Senator Hale,
who voted against the Riddleberger res
olution yesterday, went to New York
this morning. 1t is expected
that the queStion-open versus
secret consideratiOn-will be re-
vived tomorrow, and Republicans
think from present indications that the
doors will be thrown wide open. To
this end, however, they will require a
quorum of the senate, which will in
clude all the absentees, and they were
plainly told by Democratic senators to-
day that they were poWerlesS in the
matter. 1t is not known that the Demo-
cratS have actually come to a conclu-
cluSion to refrain as body from voting
in order to ''break the quorum" but the
debate of the day proves that such a
course is in consideration, with posi-
bility that it will be successful, until
the Republicans shall have quorum of
their own and shall unanimously favor
the open session.

And sweetens my dreams ana invites me;
'Tis the kiss that she dare not give me.

Though its bliss on my lips were fieeter
