CATHOLIC Union and Times: The
present temper Of the English dem.
ocracy is clearly shown by the vote in
the House of Commons last week on
the proposition OF Mr.. l.abouchere to do
away with the hereditary Legislation Of
the upper chamber. The motion was
defeated by vote of 201 to 137--that is
to say, a change of thirty two votes
would have carried the day against the
House of Lords. That such a consum-
nation will be effected and in the near
future, too, there is but little doubt,
and yet it must have been a surprise to
most of the world that an off hand
proposition like Mr.. Labouchere's
should have received such emphatic
support.

ARCHBISHOP HE1ss' FUNERAL.

anOAO40AV& AoANS = SAsASAsAAASs
The remains Of Archbishop Heiss, OF
Milwaukee, were laid to rest Wednes-
day. Cardinal Gibbons, three arch
bishops, twelve bishops and some zoe
priests were present, and the ceremony,
though solemn, was beautiful. The de-
ceased archbishop was man of great
self denial and m1rtification-a worthy
and noble example for the good people
over whom he watched and prayed for
many years. His life was completely
wrapped up in the interests OF his
people, and we'll did he care for the
souls entrusted to his care. He was
particularly beloved bV the poor whom
he often remembered when none but
those who were assisted knew of his
charity. The education OF his people
he was personally interested In. and one
of she last official acts of his life was TO
protest against the law, that seeks
among other things, the destruction OF
the parochial school Of his diocese. He
is now at rest, but many poor grief
stricken mortals has he left behind to
mourn his loss. May he rest in peace.

THE North evidently does not like to
give the Catholics of Wisconsin any
more credit than 1t can help on their
recent victory in having the reading of
the Bible in the public schools declared
unconstitutional. It says: Barring the
fact that it was the stand of the Cath
olics of Edgerton against the reading of
the Scriptures which brought the ques-
ton before the court, we fail to see in
what that denomination has been par
ticularly benefited by the verdict"
From the position the North has taken
on Catholicism we are not much sur
prised to see it confess its inability to
understand what benefit Catholics will
derive from this ruling Of the Wisconsin
supreme court. For paper that knows
so little about the Catholic Church and
her faith. we are not surprised at the
North failure to see the good result of
this decision?

BOsTON Plot: President Harrison
evinced his tender love for the soldier
and the sincerity Of Republican protes-
tations, last week. by discharging from
her office as pension agent in Chicago
the widow of Col. James A. Mulllgan, a
soldier who died gloriouslY on the field
of battle for the Union. No American
soldier has left q nobler name as a
martyr for his country's cause than the
heroic Mulligan, who, when mortally
stricken, said to his men: s'L.ay me
down aud 8 ave the hag!'' President
Cleveland recognized the country's deDt
OF honor when he appointed Mrs. Null
ligan to the pension agency. President
Harrison recognizes the prior obliga-
ton of his party to a spokesman, when
he turns out the soldiers widow to make
room for the hungry of1ice.seeker.

Rev. GoLIGHTLY MORRILL, accuses
the Catholic Church Of having changed
the Bible, and says that the Protestant
version OF the holy book is the correct
one. This is sayinga good deal in view
Of the fact that the two books of the
Macabees were eliminated from the
Protestant version Of the book, because
forsooth a couple Of passages therein
referred. to the good work of praying
for the dead. To get rid of purgatory
the Macabees were thrown in the waste
basket. Does ''GollghtlY'' really mean
what he says or is he just talking for
the salary he gets? Who changed the
Bible anyhow?

STILL ANOTHER CONVERT.

80
Lord Randolph Chur chill has followed
the example Of Gladstone in denouncinR
the Tory Government Of England for
its scahdalous treatment Of Mr.. ParDell
and the Irish parliamentary party. He
did not stop ct denouucing the govern
ment in Westminster halls. bat from
the public platform he arraigned the
Tories for several crimes. Being one
of that body himself, RandY's recent
declarations Of disgust for the party Of
his adoption, caused considerable IN
dignation as well as surprise in the
Tory ranks, but he was bound to stand
by his convictions, and party lines he
had no respect for when it came to a
question of honor. If Randy were not
so tickle, his anti-Tory speeches would
have great deal more weight, but not
withstanding. the people Of England
will be forced to confess that where
there is so much smoke there must De
some fire. 1t must be very encouraging
to Mr.. Gladstone and Mr.. Parnell to see
40 many conversions to their theory OF
solving the Irish question. IfChurchill
will but stick to what he has said. he
will have done much good, but the
trouble with him is that he delights in
raising sheol wherever he is, and being
of tickle disposition his attack on his
own party will not have the effect that
1t would have had, had it been made by
some others of his party Of more firm
ness than he. Nevertheless it shows
how the light is spreading; how the
government is trying Go make the most
OF brief existence, and when the
crash comes that they may escape with
their lives to a place OF safety. Churchill,
like many others of his class in England,
predicts speedy collapse of the Tory
government, but the latter will never
tumble till the house falls on them.
The talk of Salisbury dissolving par
lament and appealing to the country
for an endorsement, is the sheerest
nonsense. Salisbury knows that the
country would repudlate him and his
party before they had time to make
their debut. but politicians are not
won't to confess their weaknesses in the
heat of political fight. The country
at large looks for a dissolution of par
lament in the near future, and if Sails
bury wants an endorsement he had
better wait for an ''Off year."

SOME NEEDED CHANGES.

The political pot is beginning to boil
and before long we will have a CAM
paign of large proportions on our
hands. ST. Paul is now wrestling with
local elections and will, when they are
over, turn its attention to county and
state politics. Fortunately for Mime
apolis, this year the whole political dose
comes in the fall. It is . well-known
fact that political year is not the very
best year for business generally, but
Minneapolis will not be so much torn
IN over elections which are to come off
in the fall as il we had elections now as
well as in the fall. At the same time
it is not for the best interests of the
public to have national, state, county
and city elections come off together, as
was the case last year. In the confu-
sion some tickets are likely to be passed
over careiessly, because the voters have
not time to examine the different tick
cts in the field, and IN their hurry to
get back to their respective duties are,
Il vote at all, practically compelled to
vote with their eyes shut as it were. In
this way, we can account for the poor
timber we have IN the CITY council.
re the voters Of Minneapolis had had
time to select their candidates for the
different local Offices last fall, we would
not have 50 MANY poor sticks occupying
chairs in. the council chamber now.
But We must make the best Of poor
bargain, and see that the evil IS RENE
died when the proper time comes. The
correction Of this evil remains with the
people themselye and IL they fail to
have it. corrected Ct the proper time,
they will have no one to blame but
themselves. The change should be

shirt bosoms all out OF place last Mon
day while discussing tue relation of the
Bible 70 the public schools. Though
they talked over an hour on that sub

any conclusion save the fact that they
could not agree. How can they expect
the public to agree with them if they
cannot agree among themselves!

WILL QUEEN VIU ABDIOATE?

During the week a London cablegram
announced to the world that Queen
Victoria was seriously considering the
advisabiIity of abdlcating the Throne,
thus making room for her eldest son,
the Prince of Wales. The report was
not confirmed, it being merely the talk
of the London arlstocracy, ana those
in position to know something OF Her
Maiesty's intentions. Though anxious
to see her son enjoy the honor Of King
Of Great Britain and ireland aud En-
peror of India, she still feels it is SAID a
longing to remain where she is until
death calls her, because Of her dislike to
the title OF ex queen. Though seventy
one years old, her old time pride still
remains intact. and the title Of ex-queen
would not satisfy her at all. 1t she
should decide to step down, it is ques-
tion whether the Prince of Wales would
be crowned king or not. The princes
career has been ANYTHING but COM
mendable, and there are many inhuen-
tial men in England to-day who would
bitterly oppose putting him at the head
of the nation. Though he has been
rather loose in his habits, still he has
improved in that respect during the
past half decade, and who knows but he
might work wonders in the reform line
if elevated to that important position.
This however can hardly be expected
from man who has lived such a. loose
life as he has. His life has been one
continuous round of dissipation, and
for this he has become a prominent
figure among the sporting fraternity CT
England. He is no worse however than
hundreds of others in England who
move in the upper circle, but this would
hardly recommend him for the position
his mother now fills. Should any con-
certed action be brought to bear against
his promotion, it might result in estab-
fishing democracy there. But such
can hardly be expected so soon. II the
people OF England could exercise the
same power at the polls that we Amer,
leans can, we might look for something
more than a general opposition to the
princes aspirations, but unfortunately
for the poorer classes in England, the
aristocracy have still strong grip on
the country and will have for some
time. If Queen Victoria should abdi
not. thnrn will no 1Onht he some
changes. The house Of lords among
other standing abuses, will be wiped
out. This in itself would be good
thing. No doubt it is to spare the
queens feelings that many needed i'm
provements are being held back, and
when she withdraws we look for MANY
important changes in the government
of England. 81 5.5.s

Republicans defended the law, while the
