CATHOLICS IN AMERICA.

lndSeataons tAa9 tAo Italian Propaganda
Does Net Control Promotions.
ST. Loun, July IA special cableRram
to the Western Wstchman brings sws from
Rome that propaganda has arrested the
appointment Of Bishop Bourke - bishop Of
the combined diocese of Omaha and Chey-
enne. The importance of the news arises
from the fact that It ID evidence that the
propaQanda will not sanction the Roman
appointment a. against the recommends
ton of the congress Of American bishops.
On Bishop OpOonnor's death the bishops Of
the provinces wsss called togethsr and sent
three names 10 Rome from which to choose
successor. II WAS generally believed that
Vicar General Philip Brady, of st. Louis,
would receive Che appointment. The
bishops will again recommend Brady, as
this action shows an unprecedented disfe-
gard for the American bishops reoommen-
dations, and it IL thought indicates that the
time for the arbitrary. government of
American church promotions by the italian
propaganda has passed.

| The retirement of Murat Halstead
from the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
has been followed by marked conser.
vatism in the editorial discussions Of that
once fierce, bloody shirt journal. The
paper is now opposing the federal cleo
ton law and is discussing other public
questions with temperance and moder-
alton that must make it seem stale and
improbable to the readers, who for
many years have been fed on highly pep
pered intellectual pabulum. The rea-
sons for Halstead's abrupt departure for
New York have leaked out. For long
time Cincinnati controlled an enormous
southern trade, but for several years the
trade OF that section has been slipping
away to st. Louis, Chicago and Louis
vile. Old-time merchants in the south,
who bought their goods in Cincinnati
for many years, suddenly ceased to make
their annual visits to the Queen city.
The Cincinnati business men began to
investigate the causes for their declining
commerce with the south, and it did not
take them long to find out what was the
matter. The cruel, false and libellous
attacks on the people Of the south in the
columns of the leading republican news
paper Of the town we're found to be the
cause Of the decline. Men who were
called freebooters and assassins and trait
ors seven days in week grew tired Of
dealing with people who gave their
support to such newspaper. It is said
that one of the organized trade bodies
OF the city finally protested against the
repetition of such uncalled.for attacks
and requested that decent treatment be
accorded to the southern business mon
in the interest of Cncinnati's trade in
the south. A Cincinnati man is author
ity for the story that Halstead could not
or would not agree to change his policy,
and that finally he was induced to retire
and Richard Smith, calmer and more
dispassionate journalist, took charge Of
the paper and changed its policy. The
beneficial effects of the change have al
ready been felt by the paper and the
city.

feited the amount wagered, amounting
to several hundred dollars, for betting
on an election after it was over. The
defendants contended that betting on
elections was meant to preserve the pur-
lty OF the ballot, and as q bet made at
ter an election could not affect vote, it
was therefore not an offense. The court
held, hover, that election bets did not
differ from bets on games OF chance OF
horse races, and that the law of the state
had been plainly violated. The element
OF uncertainty in West Virginia cleo
tions has given rise to a great deal OF bot
ting on the result Of political contests.
This decision will have very depress-
ting effect on the men who are in the
habit of backing their opinions with
their money.

COME UP AND BE COUNTED.


Our Warrington dispatches announce
that Superintendent Porter has in
structed Supervisor Speer to call to.
gether several expert enumerators and
have them recount some of the Helen a
districts to ascertain If there has been a
proper enumeration. It now looks
as though our citizens would have
an opportunity to secure justice
for Helena, and we hope that
without depending too much upon
the government they will move at once
to see that every person residing in this
city is duly enumerated. The work
must be done thoroughly. 1t must be
done quickly. It must be done by busy
men who will lay aside their business for
q few hours and make block to block
canvass of the town. fit could be so ar
ranged, it would be we'll for committee
Of citizens to go about with the enum-
orators in carriages and see that every
house is visited.
Mr.. Speer arrived in Helena last night
and at once issued the following official
notice:
Office of Supervisor of Census for the
District of Montana, Helena, Mont, July
u, 169O.-To Whom It May Concern: All
persons who were residents of the city of
Helena June I, 1890, and who believe them
solves not to have been enumerated by the
census enumerators should at once send in
their names to the undersigned, at Helena,
with street and number or other definite
designation of abode, and if not usually at
place of abode, place where they may be
found, SO as to be personally interviewed
by the enumerators.
Lists Of persons purporting not to have
been enumerated will also be received, but
street and number of each person should
be given. w. o. SPEER,
Supervisor Of Census, District of Montana.
With concert of action on the part of
our citizens the complete census of Hell
ena can be taken in day.
Supervisor Speer will have his head
quarters in the Chamber of Commerce
rooms, Power block, where he will re-
ceive names and superintend the work
Of revision. It will now be the fault of
our own people il the count is not CON-
plete.

Still one more instance of the intelli-
gent foreigner, who comes, sees, but
fails to overcome his prejudices! Mr..
Rudyard Kipling, whose name has be-
come pleasantly familiar to magazine
readers of late, crossed, it seems, this
continent about year ago and has
fallen into the old, well-worn snare OF
dogmatizing about American manners
and institutions on the strength OF
premises that are obviously insufficient.
Az people, it cannot be said that we
are moro thin-skinned, more prone to
take offense, than our contemporaries. 1t
may even be averred that in the mass
we have sound, common sense enough to
desire "to see ourselves as others see
U.s." Buc we should be unworthy Of
the name of Americans if we we're not
proud of our country, her history, and
the growth and progress of our people.
And when some wandering "globe trot-
tor" with an eye-glass and checked
suit, enndescends to "do" this great
country of ours, with its magnificent
natural and artificial resources in the
course Of a few weeks, We may be ex-
cused, in the eyes Of all sensible foreign
ers, if we refuse to attach much
credit to his deductions. kipling and
Max O'Rell may be classed together, in
this respect at least, both are evils, but
not necessary ones. Our latest critics
literary ability and success we do not
seek to question; only, when from the
depths of an English armchair he pours
forth his half-digested, crude impress
sions of Americans and would have us
assimilate them as facts, we are at per.
feet liberty to refuse to swallow his sorry
provisions.
Our readers will be sorry to learn that
our young men are gamblers, horse
sharps and the victims of secret vices;
that they are in the habit, as business
men, of making splendid failures; that
nine-tenths of them are heavily handi-
capped by the weakness of their heads,
which leads them into habitual drunk
enness or something like it before noon,
and induces them to indulge in the evil
Of mixed drinks. There's formidable
indictment for you! The fact is that
publishers make serious mistake in al
lowing such dwelling nonsense to see
the light Of print at all. Intelligent
criticism we welcome and try to take ad-
vantage Of, but that such an exhibition
OF fatuous big-headedness should be
taken down and turned loose at all, is an
insult to the intelligence Of the commu-
nifty.

In his speech on the silver bill on
Thursday Senator Morgan, of Alabama,
touched on an abuse to which public at
tention should have been directed long
ago. 1t is the practice Of legislation by
conference committees. Mr.. Morgan
told how silver was originally demonet-
lied by some stiletto work in committee
room, and said that the work on the bill
now under consideration was done in
such secrecy that if the committee hay
ing it in charge were bribed to the ex-
tent of 800 900 nobody would find it
out. A great deal more might be said
on this subject. When it is remembered
that the conference committees on bills,
over which there is difference between
the houses, are appointed by the
presiding officers of the two houses, it
will be seen that two men, the president
of the senate and the speaker of the
house, virtually determine what laws
shall be enacted. Speaker Reed de-
feated free coinage in the house by pack
ing the conference committee on the
part Of that body with the enemies of
silver. There was no appeal from his
designation of the members of the COM
mittee, and the cause of free coinage
was known to be hopeless as soon as
Reeds hostile attitude was known. As
things are now going at Washington there
is no reason why the members Of the
two houses should not go home and leave
Mr.. ingalls, and Mr. Reed to enact our
laws. A representative form Of govern
ment is all stuff. One man with gavel
in his hand can pass more laws than a
hundred ordinary members Of congress.
