BISHOP KANE AND THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

BISHOP KANE AND THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
In Pittsburg recently Bishop Kane, OF the
Roman Catholic Church, made en- address in
defense o. the parochial school system; and
IL is TO be feared that HE bitter attack on the
public system will cause the renewal OF the
bitter controversy which hes already CAUSED
go much trouble in Pittsburg and Allegheny
City. He declared that Roman Catholics
will not recognize any system of education
which does not inculcate the principles of
religion. He remarked that TIE adoption Of
this public school system as one of the fun
damentals of successful democratic govern
ruent was unfortunate, and be declared that
the non-secterian schools of the present ex-
ert the same influence as did the Pagan
schools in the days Of the Apostles.-Phfla-

Three of the oyster-boat captains arrested by
the New York Worlds relief expedition have
been indicted by the grand jury in Baltimore
for inhuman treatment of seamen. In the trial
Of recent cases against these captains number
of the most brutal have actually been con-
victed and punished. In accomplishing whole
sale arrests and in impressing upon the lawless
and cruel dredgers the conviction that they
are not monarchs of all they survey the enter
prising newspaper has accomplished more than
the Maryland navy. But the effectiveness Of
the latter has vastly increased. From being
chased it has begun to chase. The dredgers
seem to have lost their political grip. They
can no longer with impunity kidnap their sea-
men, infict upon these prisoners every form of
barbarous cruelty, violate the oyster laws of
Maryland, and defy the legal authority and
military power of the state. Slavery and
piracy are disappearing from Chesapeake bay,
and nineteenth century civilization, startled at
the modern revival of the barbarous practices
Of an earlier age, will rejoice at their disap-
pearance.

The collapse Of the copper syndicate is one
Of the monumental failures of the age. Yester-
day copper was worth f51 per ton in London,
while futures sold at little over ESQ Yet the
thousands upon thousands of tons held by the
French syndicate were bought at f6S per ton,
and the standing contract with American mines
is for the entire output at f611{. Worse than
this, however, are the contracts with the mines
Of Spain, Chill, South Africa, and Japan. where
thousands Of tons were bought last year at f7O,
and 60, 900 tons Of Gillian copper were bought at
f72 Now the bankrupt Frenchmen are trying to
close out to English buyers at ESQ, and can't do
it. The production has outstripped consump-
ton nearly two to one, and the copper corner
is narrowing until its occupants are nearly
squeezed to death.

The discovery Of gold on the Lower Califor-
mia boundary has given the Mexican govern
ment a shock. The clerical party, whose MEM
beers are devoted TO unrelenting hatred of the
liberals for the part Juarez bore in taking from
them their church property, insists that the
outcome OF the rush to the gold fields will be
another war between the United States and
Mexico and the conquest of large area Of ter
ritory by the former. The clerical press even
predicts the annexation of all Mexico to the
United States and the complete subjugation of
their people. 1t is suspected that the Mexican
conservatives are not so much afraid Of our ag-
gression as they profess. The alarm they wish to
excite isintended for decidedly selfish purpose
They want to get the Mexican republic into
another civil war and, il possible, put the
liberal party with its friendly policy toward the
United States out of power. With this accom-
pllshed the conservative party might resume
its old-time ascendency in Mexican politics.
Before that can occur, however, the Diaz gov
eminent win have carried Mexico so far along
the road to an enlightened self-governed
civilization that the opposition will be in
hopeless minority. This country neither de-
sires to annex Mexico nor to NEEDLE in her
political affairs. Least Of all is il likely that
any such interference will come from a party
administration that has always condemned its
opponents for their responsibility for the
Mexican war.
