pends in great measure on the training
Of children in Catholics schools, and the
formation OF cadet societies and societies
OF young women.
q ReSoived, That seeking 10 preserve and
rescue fallen human nature from sin,
We rely chiefly on the grace Of
the sacramento and prayer. We
are in sympathy with every wise
and lawful movement TO sup
press drunkenness, and we therefore
approve Of every just exercise Of civil
authority which aims at the destruction
Of Satan's well devised structure, the
saloon, with It's nGfarious methods oI
creating drunkards and perpetuating
the vicious and proaigate power Of the
drink trade in Corrupting politics, de.
ieating the ends Of law and disturbing
the order OF society.
Resolved, That We condemn the praC-
tiCe OF using liquor in so.called Cathoe
lie clubs at picnics, excursions and the
like, held or controlled by Catholics, as
sCandalous and conducive to intemper.
anco and other deplorable disorders.

Government OH railway ties, poles and

ment has replied that railroad ties and
fence posts are dutiable at 20 per cent.
Telegraph poles, not further manufaC-

recourse than to rely on the provisions
OF the third section OF the prepared bill,
