suppose tnat the majority of Catholics

is still greater mistake to think that
any religion is at the bottom of the op-
position to common education. The
opposition is genuine product of old
world ideas, ideas that have dominated
the world for ages. 1t has its origin
deep in the roots OF time. 1t is the
representative on this continent of cen

is in utter and upcompromising oppo-

Pillow shams are no longer used, but

Parallel Stories.

There is touchingly beautiful story
told of Maurice de Sully, afterward
Bishop of Paris, to the effect that shortly
after he had been appointed canon and
archdeacon an old woman, clothed in
drugget, with white staff in her hand,
entered the city and inquired of any
whom she met where she might find her
son, DR.. Maurice. Some ladies, fearing
that the new dignitary might feel humili-
ated if he fell in with his mother so shah
billy dressed, attired her in rich habila-
ments, threw costly mantle over her
and then conducted her to his residence.
But the archdeacon refused to recog-
nize her in those borrowed plumes. my
mother" said he, sis poor woman who
never wears anything better than gown
Of drugget." They were obliged to take
ner away and restore her original clothes,
after which they returned to the house
Of DR.. Maurice, who, at the time, was
the center of a brilliant assembly. The
moment lie caught sight of her he ad-
vanced with the greatest reverence, and
embraced her, saying: "This is indeed
my mother" But precisely the same
story'is told of Pope Sixtus V and his
sister Camilla, whom the cardinals had
caused to be decked out in magnificent
array, to be presented to the new pope
after his exaltation.-All the Year Round.

To Save 1.-THE Angelus."

There is q curious fact to be noted in
association with the exhibition of 1.-The
Angelus' at the American Art Galleries.
This is that that costly work was not in
sured for cent. The association had q
fire patrol on hand night and day, and
in case of fire certain pictures, the chief
or them 1.-The Angelus," would have
been carried to safe place in pretty
short order. There are a great many
ways out of the galleries. What with
windows on three streets and blind en-
frances on Broadway and Twenty second
street, in addition to the main entrance
and scuttles leading to roofs that extend
without a break to Fourth avenue, O
great deal of property might be rescued
if fire was discovered in time.
With an efficient fire patrol on guard,
the association could afford to take the
chance of insuring itself. I see some
western paper has printed the story of an
alleged plot to steal 1.-THE Angelus."
This is pure bosh. 1t would not pay any
one to steal a picture so well known, be-
cause no dealer, collector or public mu-
scum would dare buy it, and any one to
whom it was offered, knowing that it
must be stolen, would be likely to put the
offerer under arrest. The attempt might
be made for the sake of possible re-
ward, but here also imagine it would
be failure, for the owners are persons of
the sort who would rather expend double
the money to capture and convict thief
than pay a premium on his felony

Trading in Damascus.

The oriental mind is disposed to mingle
all the dealings of life with an amount of
sentiment" which would be scorned by
the more literal business man of the west.
A visitor at Damascus gives in Murray's
Magazine the following description of
horse trade in that city:
A long dispute took place between the
intending purchaser and the owner as the
former attempted to beat down the price.
by few piasters. The owner, however,
seemed very sure of making favorable
sale, even if the present customer should
withdraw. So he remained silent, with
an occasional inconsequent remark, such
as, at matters not, "Wallah, whom am
to argue with thee?" 'Wallah, nv
horse is Us dust; take it without money!"
All these expressions are equivalent to
cold negatives, and might naturally have
exasperated the other man, who had
been wasting oceans of rhetoric in per-
suasion. Finally, he, in this turn, ex-
claimed, with heart warming show of
generosity and philanthropy:
"Wallah, are we not brothers? Where
fore all this noise? Is it for money? AL
lah, why bid! You want 1000 piasters?
Here is the money. Take it," Then he
pressed the bulk of treasure into the
others hand and turned away. "Never
mind about your horse. l care not for
it. Shall we part enemies because of
money!
At this point the other, who now had
his money secure, ran after his customer,
fell on his neck, and, kissing him OH
both checks, assured him that the horse
would hcnccforth be worthless to him:
that, since his brother wished for it, he
must take it as present. And so the
bargain was concluded.

Subsidies.

When, according to the Republi.
can plan the Sugar producers of the
United States are paid subsidy
out of the public treasury, every
one can understand that the re-
manning portion Of our population
are being taxed for their benefit. \
The same is true of every species
of taxation which is levied on~the
productions of the country.
Let us illustrate by a case in
point.
Tin plates are not manufactured
in this country and therefore the
tariff duty of one cent per pound
all finds its way into the public
treasury.
Last year we imported and used
632,00O,O00 pounds of tin plate on
which the government received
one cent per h., or $6,32O,OOO and
this amount went to increase the
cost of tin goods to the consumer
Now it follows, that if this
amount of tin plate had been man
ufactured in this country, and the
price been kept the same, the tax
would have gone into the pockets
of the manufacturers, instead of
into the treasury, and they, and not
the government would have re-
ceived the $6,32O,O 900,
This amount would then be a
bounty or subsidy paid the makers
of tin plates, the only difference be-
ing that the money is gathered
directly from the consumers in
stead of being paid from the
treasury. But the few parties who
wish to supply the country with
tin plate think that six and one
third millions is not enough to pay
them and hence they are asking
our protection Congress to increase
the duty to cents per Pqnnd,
which would give them a subsidy
of sl4,746,ooo per SSssr. saBAathsy
promise if this is done they will
furnish all the tin plate we can
use.
No wonder the masses are
growing poorer.

Ex-senator Tom Platt, of New

Morton Presidential boom, and
came over here to read the riot act
to the Vice President and to in
form him that New York would
have but one candidate to present
to the National republican nomi-
mating convention in 1892, and his
name would be Platt. Mr.. Morton
refused to see things in just that
light, but before Mr.. Platt went
back home the two would-be can
didates patched up some sort of a
truce. Mr.. Plutt was heard to say

AnOpinion From Abroad.

There is no Democratic paper in
the countrysmore true to Democra-
tic principles, or more ably edited
than THE Sat,srday Globe of N, Y.
City. In its bsdesof. .theslBAeIisst
it has this to say of the election OF
Col. G. s. Brice to the U. s. Senate
1t says:
"As has been expected for some
time, Colonel Calvin s. Brice was
nominated last week by the Demo
Gratis of the Ohio Legislature as
their candidate for United States
Senator, to succeed Henry b.
Payne, and was formerly elected
ON Tuesday and Wednesday of this
week The opposition to Colonel
Brice turned out to be comparative
ly small, SO that his nomination was
made upon the second ballot, when
he received fifty three votes, out of
II total Of seventy three. At the
formal election, one Democr attic
member refused to vote for Col
Brice, in spite Of which, however,
he was elected I'm each House in
seperate meetings, rs well as in
joint convention.
While this result has been ex-
pected, it is none the less crafty
ing to the Democracy the
country and to the friends Of Col.
Brice himself. From the opening
of his canvass to the close, II strong
and bitter fight was made against
him because Of the fact that he il
