TIE CATHOLIC CHURCH.

Pope Leo XIII has much to congratulate
himself upon since his accession to the pom
tifcsl chair. During the fourteen years he
has occupied that exalted station the Cath
Ole church has made substantial progress.
The new positions created in the hierarchy
during that period are the following: The
patriarchate of India, twelve archbishop
RIGS, sixty five bishoprics, forty-three apos-
tolic delegations, vicarates and prefectures
Then ten blsoprics have been made arch
bishoprics. The increase in membership
has kept pace with, if it has not even sur
passed, the increase of officers. The great
est progress of the church, according to
the late official reports from the Vatican,
is in North America and England. No ad-
vance is claimed for Germany, nor for
Austro- Hungary. The attitude of the Rus
sian government in religious matters is
said not to have perceptibly injured the
Catholic church in Poland. The most un-
favorable reports come from France and
and Italy. The membership of the church
in those countries has not decreased, but
the radical policy Of the governments in
school and church has considerably dam
aged the influence and opportunities of the
church. On the whole, however. LEO XIII
has much cause for satisfaction with the
progress of his church.

CHANGES AT FORT DOUGLAS.

The news that the four companies Of the
Twenty first infantry now stationed at
Fort Douglas are to be transferred, is
tempered by the announcement that the
three companies of the Sixteenth infantry,
now at Fort Duchene, are to be garrisoned
here. This would make Colonel BLUNT's
regiment complete.
Prior to the passage Of the law in the last
Congress, making lineal instead of regi-
mental promotions up TO and including the
grade of captain, such q concentration Of
troops would have been very agreeable.
since the officers remained together during
the greater part of their service. To-day
any promotion to higher rank sewers their
regimental connection forever.
Nevertheless it is desirable, even now,
for the esprit dc corps of a regiment, that it
be stationed together at one point. When
stationed in different garrisons the colonel
has scarcely any supervision over the de-
tached companies, and except that he con-
firms the appointment Of non-commissioned
officers by their captains, The knows little Of
his own command. At his station his chief
duty is that of post commander rather than
that of regimental commander, and his ad-
iutant and Quartermaster act really in the
same corresponding capacity. If, there
fore, the three absent companies OF The
Sixteenth infantry shall join Fort Douglas,
post and regimental duties will be per-
formed under the same authority, and
hence with greater satisfaction.
On the other hand we should like to see
General SHERIDAN's policy carried out.
which is to abolish all the small frontier
posts aud concentrate the troops in large
garrisons near railway centers. Fort
Douglas might be enlarged to two or three
regiment command with benefit to the Off
GERS and men, with economy to the govern
ment, and with prospect of greater eff
cheney in case Of need.

THE SCHOOL ELECTION.

The voters of the city will be wise next
Monday, if they forget their partisan pol
tics and elect the Citizens candidates for
members of the school board. These can
didates were selected by no party in the
political sense of the word. Nom partisan
meetings were called, men of any and every
shade of political opinion being invited; in
the convention the nominations were made,
not by Democrats, not by Repub licans, but
by citizens and taxpayers, fathers aud
guardians Of children. The politics Of the
nominees were not inquired into. only the
fitness of the men for the duties of the office
being taken into account The sentiment
was that politics should be kept out Of the
schools; that teachers ought not to be
selected on account of their partisan opin-
ions or because they vote with q certain
party; that contracts ought not to be
awarded and men employed because Of
their politics or their activity as partisans.
This was the sentiment which inspired the
calling Of the conventions and which con-
trolled in the nominations, and the same
sentiment should guide men when they
deposit their ballots en- Monday.
The Liberal bosses do not propose that
the schools shall be nom partisan. They
propose tina. only rank partisans, poll
ticians of their faith, shall be chosen,
the schools being subjected to the
political control and direction Of the Lib
erals. and that the million dollars which
the board will expend shall be laid out as
party workers may determine. No honest
man can claim that this is right, but that
is something which does not actuste the
men in control Of the Liberal party. Power
is what they are striving for. aud they are
not particular as to the methods employed
nor what interest shall suffer SO long as
their political ambition shall be gratiied
We hope the people will rebuke this at
tack upon the city schools and elect the Cit
liens nominees by such maiorities as will
be notice to all partisans that the bringing
of politics into the schools will not be toll
Grated.

IT Is said that President CARSoT travels
free on the French railroads, but after his
journeys has his secretary foot up what
the expense of the trip would have been II
paid for, and then hands the sum over as
gratuity to be distributed among the sub
ordinate and poorest paid servants OF the
railway. That Is the most sensible appli-
cation of the benefits arising from the
''courtesies" extended by railroads to men
in high official positions that we have heard
of. After all it is usually the employees OF
the road and those that are the poorest
paid that are eouged by railway companies
in order to enable them to extend ''courte-
sizes" to presidents, governors, legislators
and other official dignitaries.

ing to make it appear that few
men here are conspiring together
to bring trouble and disaster upon the COM
munity, and are asserting that if these men
shall succeed there will come q sudden stop
to the material and political advance which
we arc making. OF course we all know
that these stories are false. We all know
that they are put forth with an OBJ
ject, that object being to X eep up the bitter
quarrel which has been too long continued,
and by which certain cotsrie expects to
prosper. We know that no other COM

than that Of Utah. We all know that the
future is bright and promising. and that it
will greatly improve matters if the
nasty contention can be made to
cease and all can be united, as
some are trying to unite in working for
Utah. We know that the aim of the enc
mics to the territory in the publication Of
these hbelous reports is to brighten the
weak kneed and the morally coward into
the support Of the schemers.
But while we all know these things the
world does not. Hence, the necessity of

that there shall be q popular sitting down

tudes.
We hope there will be large attendance,
not only Of the masses, but of leading citi-
zens, regardless Of politics or religion, and
that the true status of affairs will be clearly
and emphstically set forth. Let the COM
munity speak and in such terms as will be

The little Times is pleased to offer the fol-
Ia rio off inf

The little Times is pleased to offer the fol-
lowing rich bit of information:
There was time when ireland was prosper
Gus, but the English plan of free trade applied
TO it, left it prey to English manufacturers
With protection population equal to
the entire present roster Of the country would
have been engaged in mills and factories, while
as many more would have found prosperity in
supplying them with the fruits OF the soil . =
= During the past fifty years the population
OF the country has decreased nearly 80 per cent
In 1S4l it 8 1s5. 600; in 1851 it had fallen to
G, 5l4 900; in 1861 the census showed only LBS,
Ooo in 1871 there were only g. 4o2 600 inhabitants
in 1881 there was further decline to 5l6Q.O00
and the last census shows that the entire popu-
lation OF the country is only 4,7Oe.0oo.
The point to be remembered in looking
at these statistics is that from 1S4l to 1861
ireland enjoyed the benefit Of protective
tariff and her population declined from
S, 49,, 900 to 5, 79S, 900, loss Of nearly three
million of her people in twenty years Of
protection. In the succeeding twenty years
of free trade the population has declined
only enc million. OF the two evils, pro-
lection is certainly the worst, admitting
that the presence or absence of 'protec-
tom is the cause of Ireland's decline.
In 1913, DANIEL O'CoNNELL, in his fight
against the high-tariff corn laws. said:
''What is the meaning Of protectionl 1t
means an additional sixpence for each loaf;
that is the Irish of it. If he had not the
protection, the loaf would sell for shil-
ling, but if he has protection, it will sell
for one and sixpence. Protection is the
English for sixpence, and what is more, 1t
is the English for an extorted sixpence.
The real meaning of protection is, there
fore, robbery-robbery of the poor by the
rich.''
All Ireland concurred in this judgment of
her great statesman. Every student of
Irish history knows that every time Ireland
was given free trade, immediate prosperity
followed: while every time she was treated
to dose of protection, sragnation Of indus
try and starvation of her people followed.
The corn laws, the great protective legis-
latlon of modern times were the immediate
cause of the great famine.
If any of the readers of THE HERALD de-
sire to learn the facts in regard to Ireland's
prosperity under free trade and her ruin
under protection and laudlordism, they
should send 3 cents to Tariff Reform club,
So William street, New York, and get a
pamphlet entitled ireland and Tariffs
Then cur readers could draw parallel
between the present condition o: Irish
agriculture and the same rapidly approach
ing condition of American agriculture, as
shown by the mortgages, helplessness and
bankruptcy of that once great industry of
ours.
