WE give an interesting and explicit
statement, together with a Story from
Father Flynn to day in regard to the
late contest in which be was thought not
to be 'in it." Father Flynn seems as
able to take care of himself in a
verbal as ia financial contest It does
not seem quite dignifed to make charge
ofcoilusion to divert funds against Father
Flynn, Father DeRuyter and Bishop
Curtis without having the most
indisputable evidence and not
then even from motives OF disap-
pointment aud malice. The contest was
heated, but that certainly did not war
rant the bad taste Of accusing the
church dignitaries OF dishonest practices.
We cannot conceive how anything done
by two priests and approved by the
bis hop Of this diocese should not be- ac-
cepted as right by all good Catholics. It
is difficult to conceive that they would
do wrong.
Evening journal., 1891-02-16

those who cannot help themselves, and
those who can help themselves need only
a little encouragement now and then.
10 is impossible to raise the human
race out OF the miseries OF sickness,
squalor, poverty, ignorance and vice by
any sudden or new plan There must
be gradual emancipation by ciyiliz ltior.
The human race In Chrstendom is
gradually rising to higher plane now
and IL will continue TO rise aud bring
the other races along with It, but there
is not and cannot be any royal road for
the elevation Of the species.
Hence It is quistioaable whether the
means adopted to apply generelly to large
classes Of persons in the cities have any
good effect whatever. They are often
used by the unworthy; they are seldom
If ever effective to the worthy. The best
plan seems to be that every person shall
do what he himself knows TO be helpful
to his neighbor. That is surely every
mans duty. That is surely good means
TO the end that the race may be elevated.

STORIES OF THE DAY.
Was II ContrlbutOry Negligence.

Late the other night an electric car
sped on its route, with but one passen.
ger on board, beside the motor man and
two conductors. 1t was lonely In the rear
Of the car, so the conductor there went
inside and cbatted with the other con-
ductor. When the aforesaid passenger
wished to get off the car, instead of
shouting to the conductor to stop it, as
ne did not want to interrupt the CONVEX
sition. he pushed open the inner sliding
door. went out on the platform, fun bled
with the door there until he found how the
losk worked, opened the door and jumped
OF the car. The speed was high, and it
was fortunate for the passenger that he
h I'D the rod and ran along with the car
ultil he had gained his footing. After
ne had struck the ground be heard the
cah bell ring and the car stopped
Dlubtless the conductor thought he would
gather up the remains to conceal the
result of his inattention Now the cues
tlon arises: If the passenger had been
injured would he have lost suit for
damages on the ground of contributory
negligence.

THE mention Of the name OF ex Cover
nor Foster Of Ohio, for Secretary Of the
Treasury. has stirred up Foraker. That
snct 3 difficult thing to do. Foraker is
always in receptive condition for any
political intoxlcation and he generally
winds up the spree with an exaggerated
case Of jim jams. Foraker has made all
kinds Of charges affecting Fosters career
both In business and politics. of which
the chief we're. First, that he was a
STANDARD oil man; second. that he was a
railway wIecker, and third, that be was
a political trickster It viii be readily
admitted that Crazy Horse Foraker
ought to know political triekster when
he sees one. He is the man who put up
the ballot box scheme and forged the
names Of his enemies to it.

THE papers in the large cities continue
the crusade against the alluring schemes
under various names, which according TO
the Philadelphia Record propose to give
dollars for pennies" II ten men sit
aronnd table at game of chance BY
which nine Of them from various causes
default and abandon what they have paid
in, the tenth man, of course, will be the
winner at the loss of the nine. Nine men
must lose that one man may gain something
for which be has not rendered any SER
vice whatever Nine men must pay out
yalne without receiving value in return.
One man must benefit by the misfortunes
Of nine other men. That Is gambling in
the worst phase. Il has not the merit Of
skill in playing the seductive game Of
poker nor the intense excitement Of the
faro table. II is an ignorant. uninvitIng,
selfish, often cruel speculation, in the
worse sense, by the few on the failure of
the many 1t is bad 10 principle and
worse in practice because it proposes to
give dollars for pennies. That is a lie
and fraud on its face No investment
within an intelligent mans conception
can return 800 for $50 or even $50 The
man who proposes such thing should be
looked upon with suspicion

put some money in her mite chest"
Yesterday ths superintendent was
present, and in some closing remarks
told the story of meeting a little girl on
the street who wanted him to give a
contribution. As be told the anecdote
strange looks of intelligence lighted up
his hearers countenances, and be did not

his remarks.
