COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

We are III receipt of copy ot the sec
ord biennial report of the Bureau OF La
Dor Statistics of Minnesota, and the most
sptexestiug chapter in the volume IL tine
ona on compulsory education, There
are IN the report many exp sslons IN
favor of compulsory education from
leading educators in Europe and Amer"
len. which are well worth perusal. The
compiler regrets that there is SO little
statistical matter in existence bearing
upon the operation OF compulsory laws
~ this couu ry. The report OF the
agents of truancy in the city OF New
York is given. ia ihat big city the
agents found 5,573 children kept at home
by their parents and $3.50 children who
were truants. The parents OF those
children ought TO be compelled to send

THE NEW CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY.

IT is known throughout the world tor

Arch bishop OF st. Paul, has been the re-
s.ipent of magnificent donation OF half
q m1llion dollars from JamesJ. Hill, the

new Catholic University in Minnesota.
Few Of our readers, however, have seen

bishop Ifelald himself on the SUBJECT,
ard We therefore take the pleasure OF

A PROTESTANT HERETO.

The Rev. Howard MacQ aeary, a min
lister of the Protestant Episcopal church,
was tried last week In Cleveland, Ohio,
on charge of heresy for denying in his
book, "Ihe Evolution of Man and
Christianity, shat Christ WAS born of a
virgin, and for declaring that Christ
arose from tho dead only in spiritual
appearance.
He said that the story of Mary, as it
stands in The gospel, is so improbable
and the evidence supporting it SO uncer-
tain that criticism cannot accept it.
Speaking of Christ's resurrection from
the tomb. he said the Savior showed
himself il spirit to his apostles; that tue
body OF our Lord doubtless crumbled
into dust somewhere, and the dlciples
who saw Jesus alive in the spirit would
care little about the body. This, of
course, was rank heresy which the Epis-
copal church could not we'll overlook in
an ordained, minister of it's communion,
and so Mac<aueary was cited to stand
trial for has heterodoxy. The charges
brought against him were that in hold
ing and preaching these views regarding
the birth and resurrection Of Jesus he
was teaching doctrines contrary to those
OF l,is church aud violating the promises
and engagements made at his ordin alton.
MacQueary defended himself very cley-
erly in Protestant wsy by falling back
on the Bible and private Interpretation
He cited the vows taken at his ordlna
tlon to prove he was priest, and said
the theory of his church is that creeds
are to De tested by Scripture aud not
SCRIPTURE by creeds. If the belief of
the church is forever settled IN creeds
made years ago, he exclaimed. why SO
diligently exhorted to search the Script
ures? Many of the thirty nine articles
we've not accepted by many OF the clergy.
aud yet they were not deemed heretics;
why then should he be deemed hereto

PARNELL IN LIMERICK.

A great mass meeting was addressed
in Limerick last Sunday by Mr., Parnetl.
In the course Of long speech he severe
" arraigned Mr.. Gladstone aud under
took to substantia:e the truth OF the
Hawarden revelations contained III his
famous manifesto to the Irish people.
He claimed that he bad communicated
the substance Of the Hawarden inter
view 10 Cecil Rhodes three months after
it's occurrence, to the effect that Glad
stone had told HIM that the retention OF
thirty-three members at Westminster
was considered best for ali purposes at
ter Home Rule was granted to Ireland,
Mr.. ParneIl read the Il tier addressed to
Rhodes to show that the statement
therein made correspondent with the as
sertion in bis manifesto which Mr.. Glad.
stone had contradicted He said further
that Mr.. O'Brien, to whom he had COM
municated an outline of the Hawarden
conversation at the time, had similar
recollection of Gladstone's proposal IN
regard to the number OF parliamentary
members. MIR Parnell announced also,
for the tirst time. that before issuing his
manifesto he told Justin MCCARTHY the
contents of il, and that Mccarthy gave
All outline of the manifesto to Gladstone.
Mccarthy received from Gladstone his
observations on the manifesto before it
was issued, and there was no objection
made by him on the ground of breach Of
confidence. He then referred to the
precipitation with which the secessionist
members OF the Irish party repudiated
him, and sligmatizad it as ''bllnd haste
to obey their new leaders,
He asked the multitude TO believe that
he had not been actuated by unworthy
motives in retaining the leadership, and
that rs soon rs the future OF the Irish
question was secured he would retire
from the post. He alluded TO the Bou-
logue conference and said tue negotia-
tons were in q Fair way to result In
satisfactory agreement unless they were
frustrated by others, upon whom II great
responsibility will devolve If o 'Brien
and himself are prevented from resum-
lug negotiations.
The name of Mr.. MCCARTHY was Missed
when Parnell stated that he had placed
the substance of the manifesto before
Gladstone. From present Indications
MIR. Parnell ia resolved to persevere In
his stubborn course. He expects to in.
huence O'Brien in his favor, aud it IS
evident he has partially succeeded.
John Dillon is gone to France to confer
with o Brien aud restrain him from
making fatal step in backing up the
deposed leader. Ga the whole the out
look for Ireland is gloomy, so far as the
action of Parnell aud his adherents is
it appears that the seces-
siopist party would prefer Dillon to
O'Brien as the leader in the event II
McCarthys retirement.
No one doubts O'Brien's patriotism
but it is feared that he is too much at
tached to Parnell to fill the position Of
leader satisfactorily. In the meantime,
Gladstone stands firm in his Home Rule
programme aud will advocate the cause
as before when parliament conyenes.
