ceeded to elect minor officers. Later,
while the House was debating on the joint
resolution to hold night session and pro-
ceed to the elect on of U S. Senators, a
message was received from Governor Moore,
announcing the receipt of a dispatch from
Secretary Blaine stating that the President
had signed the admission proclamation.
Instantly every member sprang to his feet
and cheered and after some minutes, when
order was restored one of the members,
Tucker, an old pioneer of the State, rose to
his feet and in brief speech, trembling
with emotion, congratulated the legisla-
ture and people on admission. In the Sen
ate the proclamation was also received with
continued cheering and the widest enthu-
siasm. A telegram was received from Con-
gresham Wilson, announcing that he was
present when the message was signed.

DUBUQUE, November 8.-Senator Allison
returned this evening from the hes dquar-
ters OF the Republican State Committee,
where he has been for the last two DAYS.
He says the legislature is safely Repub-
lica by eight on joint bsilot, and possibly
ten, as one district is still in doubt. He
has no fears of a combination between any
of the Republican members and the Demo-
Gratis to defeat him. He declined to be
interviewed upon the reasons that had pro-
duced tho surprising results of Tuesday.
DEs MONIES, November 1.-THE official
vote for State officers were canvassed in
every coun'y to-day. The State Register
has received full returns from S6 OF the so
counties. They show that Boies Dem for
governor is elected by plurality estimated
at 5000 The lowest vote on the Republi
can ticket outside of governor was for
lieutenant governor. and the returns from
Sc counties give Poyneer (Rep) 15O,O31;
Bestow Dem 152,543. The probable
vote of the thirteen remaining counties,
basing estimates on the vote for Hutchis on
who runs behind Poyneer, gives Poyneer
election by about 500 plurality. The rest of
the Republican ticket is therefore also
elected by pluralities of from one to three
thousand

To an Associated Press representative he

of creating the impression that the brother

lows: When Bishop Carroll was conse-
Grated in 1890 the entire population of the
United States was littls more than 4000,-

mated at 10000. There is now Catholic
population Of 100000, 5000 priests. 10,-
600 churches and chapels, 81 seminaries, IS

quoted become marvellous when we con-
slider the antagonism of great majority of
the people to the Catholic church. As in
Pagan times, il the history of the Catholic
churches in this country perfect organiza-
tion was feared as possibly dangerous to
the State, and a great and numerous
party, afraid to act in the open day, en-
tered into secret society against handful
of their fellow citizens. Few people realize
how much indirect benefit this cowardly
opposition was to the church during its
brief inglorious existence. The party was
prophetically named at its birth Know
Nothing. The thoughtful men OF the
nation who opposed this party were driven
into the ranks of the church defenders.
Important conversions and the clear
ing away of much ignorance and
prejudice were the result. Hence, since
there is change in popular sentiment in
retion to the Catholic church, in addition to
this, it must be remembered, that Catholics
and Protestants now associate more fire.

ANARCHISTS CELEBRATION.
Red Flags Displayed iu Defiance of
the Police.

CHICAGO, November 1O.-The Anarchist
memorial celebration to-day was very tame.
In fact the only noteworthy incident was
furnished by Mrs. Lucy Parsons. who, in
defiance of the police prohibition of red
flags, hung one from the win low of her
residence. A policeman was sent to notify
her to take it down. This is a free
country" ;" said Mrs. Parsons; "why can't 1
wave the flag of my doctrine" Because
nv orders are to pull it down." said the
patrolman, and without further parley he
tore down the flag and took it to the sta
ton. The day at Waldheim cemetery was
raw and cold. From q crowd of five thou
sand last year the attendance to-day had
dwindled down to less than two thousand,
and of this number not q few were merely
unconcerned spectators. The floral decora-
tions were profuse and beautiful, but the
only inscription which had anything of. the
old time style was one reading, Murdered,
but Still Alive.n During the exercises Mrs.
Spies, Mrs. Schwab and Mrs. Fischer stood
at the head of the graves, while Mrs. Par
sons, sitting ON the damp ground by her
husbands grave, with her little boy by her
side. abandoned herself to tears. After
some musical selections c. j. Clemens, of
Topeka Kansas, stepped forward and an
nounced himself as an American anarchist.
Although he understood his life was in
danger in Chicago, he had determined to
have his say. Clemens then abused the
laws and the authorities. Paul Grottker
spoke in a much milder vein than last
year. His address was principally devoted
to Grimes of the Aristocracy." Only
through blood, said he, "can white slavery
peace. We are at war with the existing
conditions. Of course we can win battles
every day, but energy of forces would
gather, and the inevitable conflict 10 which
we hope to be successful will come"
Two other brief speeches were made. No
disturbances occurred throughout the day.
Indeed the lack of the enthusiasm which
generally characterizes Anarchist gather
| ings was the chief feature.

archists of this city celebrated the anniver-
J sary of the Chicago executions. The

Catholic Congress.

BALTIMORE, November 1.-The twelve
hundred delegates to the first congress Of
Catholic laymen of the United States were
called to order shortly before noon to-day
by W. J. Onahan, of Chicago. Every seat
in the hall was filled and the galleries were
crowded The first applause of the assem-
bly, was elected by the entrance of ex-
Governor John Lee Carroll with Arch
bishop Ireland, of st. Paul, and Onahan.
Archbishop Ireland briefly invoked divine
blessing in few remarks. introducing Car
roll as temporary chairman. The follow
ing cablegram from Rome was read:
Cardinal Gibbons, Baltimore Having
made known to the Holy Father the ex-
pressions of devotion conveyed to him on
the part of the Catholic Congress to be
held in Baltimore, His Holiness graciously
bids me to say that he most affectionately
imparts his blessing to all the members.
(Sipned) Nj. CARD RAMPOLLA.
Daniel Dougherty, of New York, was in
vited by the chairman to address the con-
gress pending the appointment of commit
tees. The famous orator was in his best
form and voice. He was given perfect
ovation by the congress. Dougherty said:
"In colonial times the Catholics suffered
the direst cruelties, in comparison with which
the slaves were highbred guests. The only
religious martyrs in America were Catho-
lies. They were spurned, slandered and
vilified. The highett honors of the Repub-
lie were denied them by prejudice as strong
as constitutional enactment. The consola-
tions of religion were denied to sick
and suffering Catholics in many institu-
tions Of charity and to criminals in prison.
They could call themselves pre-eminently
American for without Catholicism America
to-day would be unknown. Liberty, which
is freedom to worship GUd. was established
in America by Catholics alone.
Though the growth Of the country has
been marvellous, that of Catholicism out
stripped it. From despised people they
became . mighty power. The Catholic
church is the protector of learning.
1t was she who saved classic literature
from the ruins of the Roman Empire. On
the eve of the celebration of the foul
hundredth anniversary Of the discovery ol
America it is but proper to say that all the
tremendous results achieved therefrom il
due directly to the Roman Catholic Church
alone. Protestanism was unknown wher
America was discovered.
It was Catholic Columbus who conceived
the mighty thought, the monk encouraged
him. the cardinal interceded with thu
sovereigns of Spain, and the Catholic kinl
and queen made his expedition possible.
It was to spread the Catholic faith thai
the risk was run, and it was the standard
of Catholicity which was first planted or
these shores, and for over one hundred
wears the only Christian worship on thu
continent was the Catholic.

WASHINGTON, November S-Col. Nc

in his report for the year ending Septem-
Der 80, 1889, says on the subject Of deser-
tions: The frequency of desertion is an
alarming evil from which, in common with
the army, we suffer greatly. In my opin-
ion the cause is that the men are over
worked from there being too few to do their
duty. There are many who enlist for no
other purpose than to secure home for the
winter seasons, as desertions are always more
common in the spring and early summer.

best to the court.
