CATHOLICS AND THE SCHOOLS.



WINNIPEG, MAN, Sept. %. - Archbishop
Tache has just issued an important letter to
define the practice and teaching of the
Church OF Rome in regard to allowing COM
ment In the public schools on Scripture
readings. despite all that is said to the
contrary" says the letter, "the Church loses
no opportunity in bringing the Word of God
to the knowledge of the people. Its liturgy
is nothing but an inspired selection of texts
admirably harmonized for the instruction
and edifcstion of all. Its ascetic books
nave the same character. A mere glance
over the encyclicals Of the Popes and pas
torals OF the bishops, ETC., reveals the same
desire. The Catholic Church REQUIRES that
the different versions of the Bible should be
approved and authorized by it, to be consid-
cred as the Word of God and read as SUCH
1t lorbtds the usage of Bibles which have
guardian of Holy Writ, and to accomplish
It's sacred trust 1t must protect the books
which contain divine Inspiration against
nIalslnoatlon, mutllatlon or alteration. The
Catholic Church, being the sole Interpreter
of the Bible, forbids its Interpretation &C.
cording TO private Judgment.
1.-THE Catholic Church favors the usage of
the Bible In the vernaculary language but it
requires that such versions, even when ap-
proved, should be provided with explana-
tory notes OF comments The object Of this
rule of the church is to help in finding ont
the true meaning of difficult passages and to
preclude the danger OF abuse and false in
terpretation; but that does not mean that
reading the Bible requires comment in every
case and for every passage.
1.-THE Catholic Church cannot favor re-
ligious exercises as authorized in the public
schools OF Manitoba. One reason is that the
Advisory Board in preparing such exercises
has repudiated the principles laid down by
the church and accepted those of the Pro-
testants. Certain passages OF the Old aud
New Testament are 60 be read without com
ment' These two last words are not unin-
tentlonally set forth; they are used to pre-
vent religious exercises from having a
Catholic character ana to preserve their
Protestant reality. This double object is at
tained. On the one hand, Protestant cnil-
dren are offered an opportunity OF praying
according to their faith in schools supported
by Catholics as well ~ by Protestants'
money, while, on the other hand, Catholic
children are banished from the public
schools both by the general tone of the sys-
TEN and by religious exercises contrary to
their faitn.'"

Surgery Outstrips Medicine.

f"Surgery is outstripping medicine, and in
crsasing its lead every year." said q notable
Pittsburg doctor yesterday. Surgical sci
etce and surgical practice have both been
carried already to what seems the nelghbor-
hood OF perfection. 1t cannot be truthfully
said, though 1 wish it could, that medicine
is in the same vicinity. This is not to be
wondered at, but the progress OF medi-
cine seems even slower than humanity has
right to expect. The triumphs Of human
skill that are recorded in surgical annals
every day or so have no parallel in the
practice of medicine. The awful havoc
played by cholera has served to remind us
doctors that we are not travelling ahead of
our forefathers to the extent we sometimes
imagine and the knowledge of this truth is
no more pleasant because we also know that
on the other hand surgery is widening and
perfecting itself in all lands at q great rate"

SPEAKING in New York, Senator Hill
rather advocated protection to American
industries as a good thing, so long as it was
only incidental to a revenue tariff. Ex-
pounding what he is pleased to call the
principles of the Democratic party at Buffalo
u few days later, the Ex-Governor OF the
Empire State emphatfcally declared that a
tariff for revenue must be so distributed as
to avoid any direct or indirect encourage
ment to American manufacturers. This
sort of thing implies degree of confidence
in the forgetfulness of the public which NAV
be ingenious, but is certainly uncompli-
mentary enough to call for stinging re-
buke by that body at the polls on the eighth
of November.

PITTsBURG. THURSDAY, SEPT. q, 1892.
TWELVE PAGES
an FFFRCTUAL REMEDY.

There is note of real work for the sup
preston of illegal combinations in the
opinion of the counsel for the New York
Senatorial Committee which has been in
vestigating the Reading deal The opin-
ion recites the well-estaolished facts con-
cerning the monopoly, brought out by the
investigation; points out that the New
York Code of Civil Procedure authorizes
the Attorney General to bring an action
for the annulment of its charter against
any corporation which has violated the
the Jaw so as to forfeit its franchise; and
recommends that the matter be referred to
the Attorney General for that action.
The fight against the monopolistic COM
bfnations has so far been conducted on the
lines adopted by the old man in the
primer against the bad boy whom he found
in his apple tree. Words showing the in
Justice and public wrong of such combi-
nations have not made the slightest differ
ence in their attitude Throwing grass
has also been tried in the shape of judicial
decisions which were easily evaded and
statutes which have hardly been backed
up with any attempt to enforce. These
things made no more difference to the
combination manager, in the expressive
language of Mr.. A. A. Mcleod, the head
of the Reading monopoly, 'than to the
Sioux Indians"
But the mistake common to the bad boy
and the combination capitalists was the
supposition that no more severe missiles
were in reserve. The opinion referred to
shows the character of the ammunition.
A corporation whose charter is annulled
is not much better than criminal who
has undergone the discipline of the gull
lotine. Its corporate life is gone, its
property is taken away and for the rescue
of anything from the wreck its share
holders must throw themselves on the
charity of the State. This is severe dis
cip!ine, no doubt. Regard for investments
would make it the last resort; but, when
the corporations involved have conremptu-
ously spurned all milder attempts to make
them respect law and public policy, what
other course is open for the protection of
public interests against the great law
breakers?
We believe that this is the way to stop
the great combinations. After one or two
Of the great offenders have undergone that
sort Of capital punishment the rest will
very quickly come to the conclusion that
there is more safety in operating their
franchises according to the limitations
OF law,

RAILROAD WRECKS FOR SHOW.
An Engineers Plan for Making Money and
Breaking Up Old Engines.

An Engineers Plan for Making Money and
Breaking Up Old Engines.
CHICAGO Sept. 2s.-An engineer on the
Louisville and New Albany Railroad, whose
name has not yet been revealed, is responsi-
bio for one of the most novel Worlds Fair
schemes yet formulated. His idea is to
lease a piece of land near the Exposition
grounds and build railway track a mile in
circumference with another track inside,
both tracks to be connected by switches.
Around one side of the track he would build
ali amphitheater with a seating capacity Tor
$4,000 people. On these tracks he would
place two locomotives To close the show
he would start these two engines in opposite
directions, and when at full speed the con-
Meeting switch would be thrown open and
the locomotives allowed to collide. To make
the collision more realistic he would have
the tenders jump just in time to save their
lives 1t is his opinion that a real railroad
wreck won Id be an attractive spectacle. He
says that he can furnish entertainment of
this sort for $500 performance about
twice week. He would use abandoned
locomotives, and he says the beauty of the
project lies in the fact that this Is an easy
and profitable way to break the old
locomotives to pieces and get the old iron.
The engineer is still looking for hacker.

TALK OF THE TOWN.

"When I was staying with Joe jefferson

day or two ago. II had plenty of opportuni-
ties to see the Clevelands home life. The
ex-Presidentis is certainly one OF the luckiest
men know, and Gray Gables about as
pleasant retreat as heart could desire. I
went on several fishing excursions with Mr..
Cleveland. and dined more than once at his
home. One thing struck me more than any
thing else, and that was Mr. C!eveland's in
variable avoidance of politics. He never
betrayed by even a chance word the interest
in the campaign q candidate might be par
doned for feeling, and If politics came up at
some other mans instance in conversation
Mr.. Cleveland took the earliest opportunity
to change the subject. He would talk the
atricals to Mr.. Jefferson OF me as much as
we pleased, and. by the way, he knows
good deal about the stage; he enjoyed dis
cussing household affairs with Mrs. Cleve-
land, especially II the matter pertained to
little Ruth, and public affairs outside of
party politics In this country often came In
for review at his hands. But politics in the
sense you would suppose him to
be nost interested in he never
touched upon in my hearing. l suppose
he talks enough about the campaign
to his purely political visitors and refreshes
himself by tabooing politics as far as he can
at other times. Mrs. Cleveland is not 80
careful to conceal her anxiety about her
husbands prospects in the great race, and
she extracts Information about the outlook
from those she thinks well-informed with
the same charming ease that characterized
her intercourse with public mon when she

Danger Lends Sauce to Sight.

The perversitv of mankind is illustrated
on the Sixth street bridge all the time these
days. Here and there along the temporary
footway are posted signs tersely and clearly
forbidding pedestrians to stand still any
where on the bridge, and whenever have
crossed the bridge lately l have noticed that
around everyone of these warning signs is
collected small crowd. Nowhere else, in
deed, does it seem to occur to the average
passenger TO stop and stare at the workmen
swinging the big beams into position. The
signs seem only to remind the reader that
a dangerous and therefore deeply inter-
esting business is in hand, and that
here is the coign from which the whole
performance may be seen to the best ad-
vantage. Considering the fact that fully
10000 or 10000 people cross that bridge daily
and that the work of pulling down the old
structure and setting up the new has not
been allowed to close the bridge to traffic
for a moment, it is indeed wonderful that
some serious accident has not occurred be-
lore this. 1 believe the only persons in
jured since the transformation of the bridge
be an are the two workmen no unluckilv
mis- ook a loose rope for q secure one and
