Archbishop Feehan can well feel proud
over this greet manifestation Of his
peoples devotion to him and to the
Church TO which he has given his best
years.
He has seen the Catholic population OF
Chicago grow in decade from 1870, 200 to
400, 900 and more, and it has been no
easy matter to provide for that
growth. The task WAS given to
him, and he went at it with quiet but
steady energy until it was accomplished.

William Tell a Mythical Parsonage.

Some years ago the announcement
was abroad that the familiar story OF

that such person never existed, or II
he did, could NEVER have play ed the role

confederation. 1t was discovered that
when, the methods of research which

severely wounded. He received two
severe wounds while in Egypt, and in
1901, on bis return from that expedition
he was knighted He afterwdrd went
to Sicily; in 1903 he went to Sweden to
aid in the defense Of that country
against Napoleon, but having some diff
fculty with The Swedish King, he was
recalled and sent to Portugal. He adj
vanced from Lisbon, intending to co
operate with the Spanish force against
Napoleon. He found, however, that the
Spaniards were not ready to aid him,
and the rapid advance Of the French
placed him in q very critical position.
He was forced to retreat, but Was over
taken by the French at Corunna. Here
a desperate battle was fought January
16. 1869, in which the British were at
last victorious. but their gallant COM
mander was struck with cannon ball

Mr.. BLAINE has always been a favorite In
the Northwest. From Northwestern State
comes the first response to his proposal for
reciprocity with the American republics.
I'VE cordially approve" said the Minnesota
Republicans last week, "oft the policy recon-
mended by Mr.. BLAINE Of such reciprocity
treaties with the republics Of South and
Central America as will open closer COM
merclal relations between North and South
America" If the Minnesota farmers are to
be kept In the Republican party, something
more attractive than the MCKINLEY bill will
have to be offered to them. Mr.. BLAINE has
offered that something more attractive, and
Minnesota Is ready to accept it.
Last week the Republicans Of the Eleventh

trict, put the case Of Mr. BLAINE and the
farmers In q few words:
I'VE favor free sugar this end OF the line II
free wheat free hour FREQ pork and free machinery

Mr.. BLAINE seems to have pleased the
Western farmers, and just at present 1t Ia
important for the Republicans to please the
farmers, for they are showing a strong ten
dency to flock by themselves.

The Torrey Bankruptcy Bill.

AS TO the wisdom OF enacting O simple vol
untary bankruptcy law, there can hardly
be any question on tho part OF well-informed
persons who have given the subject serious
and careful consideration; but the expe-
diency OF establishing system OF involun-
tary bankruptcy is by no means 30 clear.
1t is one thing to permit hopelessly insol-
vent debtor to come Into court, turn over all
his property in good faith to his creditors,
and thereupon have the privilege OF begin
ming business anew, freed from the obliga-
tion OF his old debts. 1t Is a different thing
to empower one Of a mans creditors to put
him into bankruptcy against his will and
enforce division OF his property through
the agency OF the bankruptcy court.
In the ToRREY Bankruptcy bill. which was
passed by the House Of Representatives on
Thursday, provision is made for forcing
debtors into bankruptcy upon proof that
thoy have committed certain acts, such as
suspending payment of commercial paper
and not resuming for fifteen days; or neg
locting to pay an open account for sixty
days after a wri tten demand for pay
ment thereof; or dealing In options while
insolvent; or conceallng oneself to avoid
the service of civil process: or departing or
being absent with intent to defraud credit
ors. Under this bill, II it becomes law, a
creditor may do much moro than merely
sue his debtor TO recover judgment for the
amount OF his own claim; he may throw his
debtor into bankruptcy by charging him
with any Of these acts and sustain
ing the charge by proof, which need
not be very strong, to Judge from
experience under former statutes OF
bankruptcy. Tho involuntary bankruptcy
system which 1t Is thus proposed to establish
is really a drastic method Of procedure for
the collection of debts through the agency
OF the Federal courts, instead OF tho State
tribunals 1t will operate TO the dlsadvan-
tage OF small traders and to the advantage
of the great business houses in large cities
To threaten dilatory debtor with petition
to put him Into bankruptcy unless he pays

Consul BAKER said In his report from
Buenos Ayres three years ago that the Ar
gentine Republic had been trying to do too
much and go too fast" The present revolu-
tion Is the final condemnation OF the policy.
For several years past all the different
sorts OF governmental machinery authorized
to contract debts have been working at full
pressure. The republic itself. the provinces
OF which 1t is composed, and the municipal
tiles have been borrowing money In Europe
to an extent that scarcely anything but the
purse Of FoRTUNATUs could repay. At first
all that was asked was obtained In London
Finally the British investors became scared.

were trying to discount their future for tho
next century. Then these South Americans.
finding that British purses were closing
went to the Continent for money and raised
large loans In Paris, Berlin. and Amsterdam.
They borrowed until the European public
actually declined to lend.
Here are some OF the things they have
beon doing with all this money. They de-
cided to open up their vast country. most OF
1t very sparsely inhabited. by lines Of rail
road running In every direction. These lines
have been built or are now building. Some
OF them run to or toward the Cordilleras for
long distances through country that has not
yet been settled at all Then all sorts OF
other Industrial enterprises have been on
couraged. Scores Of companies were or
ganized in Europe The amount OF money
which they asked from Europe was In round
numbers $55OOOO,oOO. They got, in fact,
about S5OO, 100000.
But this was not all by any means. Tho
fever OF speculation and expansion seized
everybody. In addition to the enormous
transactions abroad. many hundreds of
companies were formed and millions
OF money put into them Mt home.
1t should be borne In mind that

ceptions Of right and Justice Even in the
Episcopal Church the same contest between
reason and dogma is going on, with HEBER
NEWTON In New York and Mr.. MAcQuEARY
in Ohio as examples OF tho rebels. They
will not submit their opinions to the
Churchs authority, but demand the right Of
thinking for themselves, and declare tho
impossiblllty OF believing what their reason
rejects ns untrue.
Dr. BURrsRLI proceeds differently. He
subordlnates his own will to the will Of the
Church from which he takes his faith and to
which he has pledged his perfect obedience.
SO must reason always submit to faith, II
faith Is TO exist. Faith will not bear the
critical analysis OF reason, for 1t is beyond
proof. 1t must be accepted or rejected, and
to even criticlse 1t after the methods Of
science is inhdelity. Back OF faith lies tho
dogmatio authority Of tho Biblo or the
Church, to which there must be unqucstion-
ing obedience, or else faith is without a
foundation. man must be In one or tho
other Of two camps-the camp OF faith or the
camp of intellect and inhdelty-whether he
be Protestant or Catholic.
DR.. BuRTsEIL will leave New York with
the respect Of the whole public as man
who has lived up to his teachings. Whether
they believe with him or not, they will
honor his consistency and his heroical sub
mission TO his fate.
