the Indians would ZOE 0ll Lille IL IL tAo
future own and occupy the earth. All All
Indians who would not listen to the
words Of the prophet and keep dancing
would be turned INTO fishes and dwell IN
the rivers and streams. While the
Great Spirit was talking the devil made
his appearance. Kicking Horse de-
scribes his satanic majesty as being very
tall, with immense knee JOINTS, mons
ter mouth and long teeth. He was
covered all over with coarse hair. He
asked for half Of the people, meaning
the Indians, but the Great Spirit re-
fused to grant his request. He asked
again. but the Great Spirit replied !:
.You can have none Of my chosen In
dian children. but yon can have all the
whites"
A sqnaw named Walu.awin Scarlet
Woman) has also created great excite
ment among the Indians by proclaiming
herself the mother of the expected Mes
slab. She is of q commanding figure,
and when she appeared in court, in ans
wer to the charges brought against her
of melting the Indians to revolt, she
seemed to be entirely at her ease, and
spoke in low voice with intense earn
estness. She said great herds of buff
falo were to wander about as in the days
of long ago, and the Indians VIII now
sleep in death were to rise agai.4. and
forever more wander over the earth. In
those days there will be no more reser-
walton. no messenger from the Great
Father to say 70 the Indians, come back
here, stay on your reservation.
It appears that the belief in coming
Messiah to rescue the Indians from the
domination of the t'pale faces" prevails
not only among the Sioux, but in many
other Indian tribes. The high priest of
the ghost dancers is Little Wound, who
says they are going to dance till spring,
and then if Christ does not appear they
will dance no more. This religious craze
among the Indians is not particle
worse than that witnessed among Pro-
testant sects who predict the end of the
world, dispose of their property and
dress themselves in ascension robes to
be ready for transportation from earth
to heaven on certain day. Among the
whites we have many bigger humbugs
than Sitting Bull, Kicking Horse and
the Scarlet Woman. Fortune tellers,
faith curists. spiritual mediums and
clairvoyants abound in the midst Of civil
lization, and are supported by educated
white fools who laugh at the antics of
the Indian ghost dancers, while they
themselves witness the gyrations of
tables set in motion by invisible inhu-
ences at the command of ignorant i'm
posters who pretend to have communl-
cation with the spirit world. In our
opinion these people are far more super
stitious than the Indians Of Dakota.

PARNELL's DOWNFALL.

We have read with solicitude the vari-
GUS comments of the secular and relig-
lous press of the country upon the Par
nell case, and with few exceptions they
are unfavorable to the Irish leader. We
have entertained lingering hope that
ParnelI is the victim of plot designed
to drive him from public life and that he
would be able to confound his enemies
as he did two years ago. 1t looks to Us
now as if Parnell is resting under q
moral cloud from which he cannot en-
erge. We do not believe in it's entirety
the evidence given by O'Shea and his
witnesses. We would not believe on
cath the renegade who went to the Brit
ish parliament to work with the Ma
tional party and who, Judas-ike, voted
with the Tories agains. granting Home
Rule to his native land, His Witnesses
are no better than he is, and they could
not stand the test of cross examination
conducted by an eminent lawyer like
Sir Charles Russell. The witnesses IN
the O'Shea case were undoubtedly
prompted to give evidence BY the Tory
party and their organ, the Times, and
they gave it il the most sensational way
possible. 81 III VI sa..5. I.

THE ordinary newspaper reader may
think it an easy matter to edit a weekly
paper like this. He thinks the editor
has only to read the daily papers to keep
posted on current events. then select q
few topics for editorials which occupy
but little time IN their preparation, and
that. on the whole, he has '.soft snap''

unreliable the daily papers are. aud
what versions OF the same: topic are

TIE P0PB's TEMPORAL POWER.

Inc eQ1LOr OF Tile l.. ~. b. -. journal
has blunt outspoken way of express
ing himself which is quite refreshing in
these days of obseqnious organs. It ap-
pears that the Catholic Standard of Phil
adelphia has been lecturing American
Catholics on their apathy in the matter
OF the Pope's temporal possessions, and
the pluckY Martin I. j. Gr,ffiu strikes
back at it in the following style: Why
should American Catholics ''speak out
plainly, boldly and show they Gre in
line with their fellow Catholics of other
countries when the American doctrine
is to permit no European government or
people to interfere with our affairs by
declaring in favor of any form of gov
eminent or ruler for the two continents
and not to concern ourselves with the
form of government or ruler of any
European nation or people-especially
when they don't ask us even to protest
with them and they lie abject or salts
fed. 1t is all folly to say the temporal
power was taken away by ''band Of
revolutionary Adventures and Free
masons." The point is, it was taken,
and the people have accepted. as far as
American Catholics can see, the situa-
tion, and that, even as q matter of
Catholic teaching. established the legiti-
macy of the capture. Ireland wasn't
invaded by bands of English saints. No,
they were horde of robbers. They
oyerthrew Irish authority, and not by
praying, either. But they established
their authority by their power. The
Irish have never ceased to protest and
to battle. Yet within our lifetime Rome
has declared the English authority to
be legitimate" and we all know that
the IRISH Catholics have, by their very
oatechisms, been taught that it is damn
alton to resist the authority that be.
Yet they protest and resist, and have
asked Americans to help them. Now,
American Catholics noting the acquies-
cence, or apathy. or Indifference, or ac-
ceptance, or whatever it may be rightly
named, of the Italian Catholics, say,
What right have we American Catho-
lies to say to any people whom they
shall have for temporal ruler. We want
the Pope to be free to discharge his
duties as Pope, and to exercise his au-
thority as Head of the church; but what
business is it of ours to insist that he
shall be temporal ruler over a people
who show no dissatisfaction with the
rule of Humbert, who do not protest.
who do not call on us to help them even
by protesting resolutions, and who do
not even join an International Congress
of European Catholics who do protest.
Why should we? If the people under
his former temporal rule wanted him
why don't they agitate for the
of his authority; why don't
they ask us even to protest with them !?
Why don't they join their European
brethren in denouncing usurpation !? If
they don't, why should we concern our
selves as to who should be the temporal
ruler over them. That's the point,
Now, what is the answer? 4

Sitting Bull claims to have had strange

when night came on he had queer
feeling. He saw star moving west
ward through the heavens and followed
it till near morning. when he met the
Messiah clad IN q white robe. He tainted
at beholding the apparition aud fell
into trance. A band of dancing In
dians, long since dead, appeared to him
and asked him to join them in their
terpsicorean exercises. He soon awoke
and the Messiah spoke to him, saying he
had once come to save the white men,
but they prosecuted him. and now he
had come the second time to save the
Indians. He showed Sitting Bull the
marks on his hands made by the nails
at the cruoifxton to convince HIM he
was the true Christ, and all day he in
him and gave him evidence Of
his power. As evening came he babe
Sitting Bull go home, and on his arrival

this wonderful vision they came in
swarms to see Sitting Bull and pitched
their tepees around him. There they

they danced all night, until they drop
