RELIGION IN Politics Vincent,
of Buffalo, N. Y, considers the Bennett law
issue in Wisconsin the mostimportant event
OF the year. Before long," says the bishop,
'tbe Catholics and German Lutherans will
condemn the compulsory education law in
Illinois and other States. have watched
the progress of this issue in Wisconsin ever
since Mr.. Bennett framed the law which has
become famous, and believe the issue of
compulsory education will supersede at the
next Presidential election all tariffsD other
political interests. The great question as to
whether Americans or Roman Catholics
shall control this country has reached q
point where an open fight is inevitable.
While the Americans have been sleeping
the Roman Catholics have been laboring
with untirng energy, and their efforts have
not been futile. They are building up a
power in this country which threatens to
prove disastrous to the United States. Not
only do most OF the Roman Catholics put
their children in parochial schools. but they
place Catholic teachers in the public schools
to exercise an Influence over the children Of
other denominations"

PRINCES FIGHT IT oUr.-Couft circles are
enjoying scandal 10 tia little principally
of Scha aizbnrg Sondersben,en. Prince
Leopold the brother oi he teigoiUg sover-
eigr. P.iuce Cha,ies, removed aIi his possss-
sions lro0 the paiace where he has been
living for years, gnG has taken lodgings in
hotel Hitherto, the two princes, who are
both P.ussian generals, and aged respective
iy sixty eight anG ffty-eight, have been
great chumr, their intimacy even going 70
far as to include the keeping ot q small ha
rem on equa! shares as 10 expensse. Pflnce
Charles, although married, is childless.
Prince Leopold being bachelor it was de
ciced for reasons OF State that he bad bet.
tor marry. So, two or three Sundays ago,
the twc ptioces talked matters over while at
supper 10 the Casino Club at SonGershausen.
Prince Leopold demanded that in case OF
his marriage his allowance of 5000 per an
nam should be Increased. The elder Pfioce
did not take kindly &c the proposition, and
said that if Leopold could not afford to sup
port princess as bis wife he should try TO
marry a rich girl OF lesser rank.
This offended Prince Leopold, and be left
the club abruptly. He was or his way home
To The castle when he was overtaken by
Prince Charles, who sneeriD2ly repeated his
Qdqica. Prince Leopold viciously turned on
mis- brother, hit hin in the face, eDd afistic
battle theu ensued between the brothers,
who were 10th in multi. The senres who
we're pacing the road to the castle did not
dare TO interfere, but some officers arrived
opportunely, and ihsy, ~ shielding the
reigning prince with their bodies, succeeded
in uiIing the storm. Then everybody re
tired to bed. In the morning both princes
had black eyes and remained invisible 10
the people of the little capital. The reason
for the decision of the Council of State lies
in the fact that Prince Charles, who was
rnarried to the Princess Marie of Sake
Altenburg in 1869, has no issue, aud conse-
quentiy the danger threatens the little
principalty of having no direct succession
in the case of both brothers dying childless.

THE PROPOSED LIQUOR INQUIRY.
Several Advocates and One Opponent of
the Bill Address a House Committee.

There was an interesting session of the House
select committee on alcoholic liquor traffic this
morning. Very properly there was a pretty
full attendance of the committee, and the
dozen or SO of ladies and gentle
men there were all in earnest. Mrs.
j. Ellen Foster, representing the woman's
Christian temperance union, made an argu-
ment in favor of legislation to provide for
a commission on the subject of the alcoh olic
liquor traffic and to prohibit the
transportation of intoxicating liquors from any
state or territory of the United States or the
District of Columbia into any other state or
territory contrary to and in violation of the
laws thereof.
Addresses were also delivered on the same
side of the question by j. N. Stearns. secretary
OF the national temperance society and A.
NJ. Powell OF the same society. The cppo-
sition was centered in Louis Schade, editor
OF the Washington Sentinel. who declared that
the advocates of prohibition were not actuated
so much by highly moral as they were by po-
litical motives. He warned members of the
committee that the temperance folks were en-
deavoring to build up party ON the ruins of the
two great existing parties. An alcoholic liquor
commission, he said, would not furnish fair
information: if the government really wanted
to secure facts the truth could be collected by
the census force; Christian temperance unions
were not reliable. He called attention to
the fact that some such measures
as those now being considered
had repeatedly passed the Senate, but had in
variably failed in the House, because the House
represented the true sentiment of the people
of the United States. The committee ad-
journed till Saturday, when Mr.. Schade will
continue his remarks and Mr.. Bittenbender
legal adviser Of the W.C.T.U., will speak.

AN ALABAMA COLLISION.
Twelve Pullmans and a Thousand Pas
sengers I'm a Wreck.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Feb. 13.-News has Just
reached here of a frightful collision on the
Alabama and Great Southern railroad near
Coaling, Ala, at about 10 o'clock yester-
day morning between asouth-bound special ex-
Gu rson train consisting of twelve Pullman
coaches, carrying over thousand passengers,
and a north-bound Tuscaloosa accommodation.
Engineer Ed Doolitie of the special was killed
instantly and some ten or fifteen people on the
accommodation were hurt. The trains were
running at a great speed and both engines,
baggage cars and others were demolished.
Particulars are meager. The excursion train
was en- route to New Orleans. None Of the
passengers on the excursion train were re-
ported killed. They were from Chicago and
points in Ohio and Illinois. So far as can be
learned the wounded are: Mrs. G. ID. Irwin,
Birmingham, cut in face severely; Mrs. C. II.
Allston. Tuscaloosa, cut in face; W. H. Phelps,
Tuscaloosa, cut in head, badly hurt; Martha

CHURCH AND FARM,
What Kansas Bishop Thinks Of the
Adversely of Farmers.

CHICAGO, Feb. ia dispatch from Kansas
City says: In Lenten pastoral letter to be
read in all churches of the diocese of Leaven-
worth, Kan, Bishop Fink Of the Roman Catho-
lie church, referring to the farmers alliance
movement, caused by the agricultural depres-
sion, says:
''We may say that, surrounded by bountiful
crop as We are. many of our people suffer and
are In misery and uncertain what they should
do in the future. The complaints come not
only from the laboring classes in cities who are
without work but especially from the country
districts, from the farming population, which
feels that matters cannot be as they are for an
indefinite number Of years or they would lose
their houses and homes. Owing to the pecu-
liar state OF our country every one suffers
when the farming population is in distress.
thoughtful persons are well aware that the
present grievances of the farmers are but too
true. 1t seems that almost every industry in
our country is protected in order to amass
riches in the hands of the few, by which the
many will have to suffer. The only classes not
protected are those that would seem to need il
most-the laboring men and the farming popu-
lation."
The bishop reviews the constitution Of the
farmers alliance and holds that no Catholic can
JOIN the order because il is secret one and
because it virtually has a religion and "A chap
lain Of its own. This latter point he discusses
at length and declares that if the alliance will
drop its religious aspect Catholics can Join it
and work for the good of the farming classes.

is 1T A PERPETUAL MONOPOLY?
The Rights of Patent Medicine Proprie.
tors Under Their Trade. Marks.

Representatives of the Delaware pharma-
ceutical society assembled in force this morn
ing in the room of the House committee on
patents and under various forms and
with considerable argument propounded
to the committee question of
great importance to druggists and
patent medicine men throughout the country.
The question briefly stated Is: Does the trade
mark of the owner or manufacturer of patent
medicine give the right to control the manu-
facture and sale of that medicine after the
patent has expired?
1t is said that many proprietary articles can
be manufactured only after the formula upon
which trademark is based and that an affirma-
tive answer to the question heretofore stated
would give the owner of the trade
mark perpetual monopoly of the article in
question, notwithstanding that his patent to
the same had expired by law. Patent medicine
proprietors have threatened suit against drug
gists who manufacture compounds upon
which they have trademarks, and
the latter desire to know their rights now in
order that they may not hereafter be mulcted
in large damages. There was some difference
OF opinion manifested by the members of the
committee upon the question presented and
Chairman Butterworth promised to write an
op pinion for the benefit of the druggists.

THE CAPTAIN AND THE TARS.
VIII There BE q Naval Sensation When
the Enterprise Gets Home?

From private advices received at the Navy
department it would appear that the arrival
of the U.S.S. Enterprise in New York from
Europe-which is expected to occur soon
after the LIST Of March-will be the sig
nal for somewhat Of sensation in
naval circles. This vessel is under
the command Of Commander b n. McCalla,
who has the reputation of being considerable
OF disciplinarian az far as strictness goes. He
has been some time abroad on the European
station and is now on his way home bearing the
body Of ex-Minister Pendleton, who died In
Germany.
Upward of seventy seamen, the letters re.
ferred to state, have deserted from time to
time, unable to bear what they consider the
captains harshness, and there is a rumor of
his having struck one man with his sword. in
luring him severely. Ensign Kline and Chief
Engineer Entwlstle are now under matches,
under suspension for offense, awaiting the ar
rival of the ship home, when there will be at
least two courts-martial.
THE oFFENsEs.
kline's offense, it is stated. was sleeping on
watch and denying it." The offense for which
Engineer Entwistle was suspended was talking
back to the captain when the latter was admin
lstering reproof. The two officers were hav-
ing conversation, so the story goes. when the
commander took occasion to use language
which led the engineer to demonstrate. For
this he was shut up below and will also be tried.
TROUBLE IN THE SQUADRON.
There is also trouble in the squadron of evolu-
tion. When leaving Gibraltar recently the flag
lieutenant, it is stated, notified all of the COM
manders'of the vessels of the admirars inten-
tion to sail upon the giving of a
certain signal except the flagship cap
tam. By reason of this oversight when
the signal was given the other three vessels
steamed off, leaving the Chicago fast to her
anchor with no steam up. The admiral, after
some vigorous vocal gymnastics on the bridge,
satiated his wrath by ordering the executive
officer and the chief engineer of the Chicago
below under arrest. The matter was finally
explained, but it has left traces Of unpleasant
ness on board the flagship.

TO COUNT THE CITY'S POPULATION
What Supervisor Dingman Says Of the
Coming Enumeration.

Harrison Dingman, who was yesterday NOM
mated as census supervisor for the District of
Columbia, today received many congratula-
tions. The active work of enumeration will
not begin until the I'd day of June, and in the
interval Mr.. Dingman will devote his
time to arranging the prelimina-
ries necessary to push the work
through rapidly. His first task is to
divide the District into enumeration districts.
1t is probable that there will be l5O
districts and each district will be in
charge OF an enumerator. The appointment
OF enumerators will be made about the 18th of
May. When fully empowered with all the
authority that can be given to them by Mr..
Dingman and Superintendent Porter the
enumerators will then be ready to call at every
house I'm the District and ask how
many members there are in each family,
their ages, places Of birth, occupation. months
employed during the year and other questions
which the United States government is anxious
to have the people of the District to answer.
