CATHOLICS MAY COME IN.
Chey Are Allowed TO Join the Ord O.
Of Good Templars.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct. 1.-TWO m
teresting announcements were made
to-day at the thirty-second annual CON
vention of the grand lodge of Good
Templars now in session at Eau Claire.
One was to the effect that the Catholic
church of Wisconsin had practically
removed the ban placed against secret
societies SO far as membership
in the Good Templars is concerned,
and the other was that there had been
a large and surprising increase in the
number of lodges and the mem bership
of the order in the State since the last
annual meeting These facts were
made known when the reports of grand
chief templar and grand secretary were
read. The Endorsement by the Catholic
clergy is expected to result IN a large
increase of membership during the
coming year. The leading templars oil
the country have labored for several
years to secure this Endorsement, be.
lieving that it would greatly benefit
the order and advance the cause OF
temperance.
In his annual report to- day Grand
Chief Templar Frazier says there has
been extensive correspondence between
his office and the Catholic Bishop of
the state relative to Catholics becom-
ing Good Templars and the secrecy i'm.
posed by the obligation and its conflict

have been written by Mr.. Parnell to
Patrick Egan in May. 1882, lmme-
diatcdly after the Phoenix park muir
ders, expressing regret at the acct
den al circumstances by which the
murder of Lord Frederick Cavendish
was made necessary, but approving the
murder of Under Secretary Burke.
The most profound sensa-
ticn was created through
out the world by this publication. The
time was deliberately chosen, for the
division on the Sc, ond reading of Bal.
tours coercion bill was fixed for that
evening, and the fac-simile was pub
lished to solidify the support of the
liberal nnionists to the coercive policy
of the government, That result was
obtained, Mr.. Parnell promptly pro-
nouneed the alleged letter to be "a
clumsy and impudent forgery and
the Giadstoneans never faltered for n
moment in their faith IN the innocence
of the Irish leader
The government refused to prosecute
the Times for libeling members OF the
house of commons or summons the
editor before the bar of the house
The Times was emboldened bv the
open support of the government to
challenge Mr.. Parnell or his col
eagues to sue them for libel in Ire
land, Scotland or England. Mr.. Par
nell preserved the most dignified
attitude and paid no attention to the
continued 1,.snes OI the paper and his
political enemies over his refusal to
sue. Doubtless large section of the
British public regarded his position as
equivalent to confession OF his inabil-
ity to refute the charges of the Times
and an acknowledgment of the ability
OF the THUNDER err to prove the letter
genuine
Further articles in the series were
published after the letter In these
particular stress was laid on the cir
cumstance that Frank Byrue. the paid
secretary of the Home Rule confedera-
ton, and subsequently of the Land
league and National league at their
othces in London, received ana sent to

Parnell finally succeeded in having
a royal commission appointed to hear
the evidence in his own behalf. He
also brought suit against the London
Times. The result in both cases is
well-known. 1t was proved that the
letter published in the Times was a

HATE MONOPOLIES,
Michigan Farmers Preparing for In
dependent Political Action.

LANSING, Mich, Oct. 9.-In his an
nual address President Cole of the
state Farmers Alliance inveighed
against national banks and the present
system of tariff. which, he SAID, fos-
tered trusts, syndicates and comb a.
tions to enrich the few at the expense
of the masses. The most powerful
factor in the fight against these evils
was the Farmers Alliance and in the
seven demands of the platform adopted
at st. Louis and reit' ated at Ocala lies
the remedy.
lie favored the movement for the
confederation of all the industrial
organizations of the State for indepen-
dent political action, and in support of
it instanced the political successes of
the Alliance wherever il had organized
the Peoples Party.
Among the resolutions introduced
was one providing for the adoption of
the 0cala platform. The chances are
that it will be adopted almost unani-
mously when brought up for considera.

complained for a long time
of feeling unwell. When he took
to his bed last Friday he was suffering
from chill and has since continued to
grow worse. While travelling in Ire
land during the past two weeks he
contracted a slight cold, but did not
seek medical advice, He returned to
Aldrington last FRIDAY and contracted
severe chill during the journey On
his arrival he went to bed forthwith
and physicians who were summoned
pronounced the case serious. Acute
rheumatism supervened, which finally
resulted in his death. He passed away
peacefully in his wife's arms, who Is
greatly FRUSTRATED by the shock Of his
death. The news of the death of the
once great leader of the home-rule
movement spread like wildfre and
caused great sensation, as few out
side of his intimate friends were aware
of his illness. 1t is said that Parnelrs
recent political troubles FASTENED his
death.
Charles Stewart Parnell was born in
the year 1916 at Avondale, in the
county of Wicklow, Ireland, the son
of a gentleman who was at one time
high sheriff of the county Meath.
Parnell was educated at Magdaleue
college, Cambridge, England, from
whence he was graduated. In 1878 he
was elected member of Parliament for
Meath and represented that
constituency in the general cleo
ton of 1850, when he was
returned for three constituencies,
including the one he had repre-
scented so long. Mr.. Parnell preferred
to sit for Cork. He belonged, at the
beginning of his parliamentary career,
to the Irish home-rule party, in which
he soon rose to eminence although a
Protestant and personally not popular
with the leading members. This fact
probably accounts for his failure, in
1879, to reconstruct the party by means
of a national convention; but In Octo-
Der of the same year he founded
and was made first president of
the National Irish Land league. The
harvests of 1877 and 1878 were very
bad, and that of 1879 q total failure
Irish discomfort rose accordingly and
gave Mr.. Parnell and his fellow land
leagucrs opportunity of successful
agitation Their objects were, in
brief: /. A reduction of rents, and
refusal to pay if such reduction was
not reduced. =. A final and entire
change in the land laws; peasant pro-
prietorship to be substituted for that
of landlords.
His tactics of obstruction produced a
strong feeling against him in England,
and under the coercion act, which was
thought necessary by Mr.. Gladstone S
government in order to the restoration
OF the power of the crown in Ireland,

Presbyterv, which sat all day yester-
day discussing the case Of DR.. Briggs.
who is charged with heresy, resumed
its work at IL o'clock this morning.
After some routine work had been dis
posed of the Rev. A. Schilland of the
cCwmittee appointed TO answer DIR.
Briggs protest of May II arose to read
his report. DIR. Briggs interrupted
him by asking him in spirit of fair
play that his protest first be read, be-
cause many who were now present had
never beard it. by general consent
the protest was read by the secretary.
In it DIR. Briggs protested against the
appointment of a committee to prose-
cute him for various reasons, among
them that he was not given sufficient
time to answer the charges against
him and that advantage was taken Of
his absence in Europe.
Mr.. Schilland then read the answer.
1t urges that no charges had been pre-
sented when the protest was mace and
no thought of a protest was nc .essarily
maintained.
DIR. Birch, chairman of the prosecut-
ing committee announced that he was
about to serve Dr. Briggs with a copy
OF the indictment, and the arrange
ment with the accused was that the
case had been set down for Wednesday,

TINE is fast and relentlessly obliter-

busy thousands of to-day do not pause
long to consider these men as they
drop out OF the ranks of the living and

And yet there was time when the

men. Abraham Lincoln. Winfield

UNDER the present system every
convict who returns to his county or
takes up his residence elsewhere after
serving his term is apt to increase
costs to the taxpayer not only by
his own crimes but by corrupting
others. Where no close supervision
of such characters is possible-and it
never is except in cities--the returned
convict has full opportunities for cor
rupting others. 1t is clearly as much
to the advantage of public morals as
of public economy to give first offenders
the opportunity to reform OF which the
penitentiaries deprive them.
