Democratic Platform.

Judges Coffee, Berkshire and Olds,
Republican members of the Supreme
Bench, deserve the contempt of the peO-
pie of Indiana for their action in over
turning the settled construction of the
Constitution, reversing all legal pre-
cedents and contradicting their own
rulings for the sake of few petty Of
fees and at the dictation of unscrupu-
lous political tricksters.

There was no dissenting opinion, more's

enough to have dissented, something of
the august character of the court would

The State and the RIGHTS Of Man.

Mgr. Schroeder lectured in French at the
Catholic university yesterday afternoon on the
origin of civil liberty and the connection be-
tween the state and human rights. He COM
bated Rousseau's theory of a social contract,
maintaining the patriarchial system to be the
primitive form of social organization, showed
the necessity OF authority to the very existence
of society and that the origin of civil authority
as well as of the rights of man is to be sought
for in the immutable law of God and not in
mere arrangement of convenience between the
different members of human society. He re-
ferred to the inalienable rights of the family
and the Importance of guarding its liberty
against the entertainments Of the state and
especially of maintaining parental rights in
education. DR.. Schroeder concluded with a
discussion of the famous syllabus of Plus TX
and stated that the republics of North and
South America, and especially the United States,
realized more nearly the Catholic ideal of gov
eminent and preserved more perfectly the
rights to which mans exalted nature entities
him than any others in the world and that our
continued prosperity and happiness will de-
pend upon the perpetuation of our present
liberties

CARING FOR THE ORPHANS.
The Annual Meeting Of the Managers Of
the Washington City Asylum.

The annual meeting Of the board Of managers
and the visitors of the Washington city orphan
asylum was held yesterday afternoon at the
asylum building. corner 18th and s streets
The old board of managers was reelected, the
vacancy caused by the death of Mrs. J. ".
Maury being filed by the election of Mrs. Col
Reeves. The reports of the secretary and
treasurer we're read and approved There are
160 children now in the asylum. During the
past year there were 20 children admitted, 16
adopted and only death. The general health
has been excellent and the expenditures for
medicines were gratifyingly small One thing
the managers have cause to regret, however, is
the marked falling off in subscriptions during
the past year. The treasurer in her report said
that an erroneous impression had spread that
the institution self-supportlng. and, as q
result, the subscriptions had decreased at least
so per cent The asylum is now in urgent need
of funds and applications are necessarily re-
jected almost every day on account of lack OF
means to care for a larger number of children
During the meeting the children were assem-
bled in the large asylum chapel and took part
in a brief program of songs and recitations,
which greatly interested the visitors. 1t was
pleasant sight to look on. row after row of
happy, well-fed and wel-cared-for children
beginning with a row of little ones so small as
scarcely to understand what it all about
and that room full of children gave q better
idea of the years work than mere reports and
statistics could ever do

PARNELL is HOMELESS.
His Mothers Letters Have Not Reached
Him for Months.

The Philadelphia Press Tuesday cabled its
London correspondent to call upon MIR. Charles
Stewart Parnell and convey to him the news of
his venerable mothers reported restitution at
Bordentown. The following reply was re-
ceived last night from the Press London cor
respondent: Mr.. Parnel has no permanent
residence in London. His mothers statement
that she had received no answers to her letters
to her famous son for several months may be
accounted for by the fact that he changes his
residence from place to place to avoid harrassing
callers and his whereabouts are known only to
his solicitor. All his letters are addressed to
the house of commons and door keepers have
strict orders to give no information to any
one. Mr. George Lewis, Mr.. Parnelrs solicitor,
was asked by correspondent if he would carry
a message to Mr.. Parnell about his mother.
Mr.. Lewis courteously assented, but he added:
OF course Mr.. Parneil will not say anything
about that old story about his mothers poverty.
1t is constantly cropping up. He is an af
fectionate son; that is enough for the Ameri-
can people to know
'As the Press correspondent left the house
OF commons he asked an officer at the door if Mr..
Parnelrs home when in London was known to
any one. He amt got any; that's what /
guess. the officer answered The reply is
given only 10 show how absolutely the secret
of Mr.. Parnells residence is guarded, doubt
less with good reason"

Tardy Policemen Censured.

Prosecuting Attorney Dumont complained to
Judge Miller in open court this morning of the
delay caused by the failure of some policemen
to reach court in the morning before the court
convenes
Judge Miller referred to the rule recently
made to open court at S:45 o'clock, and said
that while the rule made for the benefit of
policemen ii was also made for the protection
of the prisoners. 1t is the intention of the
court, the judge said, to send the prisoners
away each day as soon possible in order for
them to get something to eat. The policemen
cause the delay and then raise the cry that it is
the fault of the court. The judge said that both
Mr.. Dumont and himself are always ready at
the time stated, and the officers must arrive in
time if they expect an early hearing of their
cases.
