My dear old friends and neighbOrs: l cannot
leave you without saying that the tender and
gracious sympathy which you have to-day
shown for me and for my children, and much
more the touching evidence you have given
OF your love for the dear wife and mother,
have deeply moved our hearts We yearn
TO tarry With you and to rest near the hal0wed
spot where your loving hands have laid our
dead. hut the little grandchildren watch in
wondering silence for our return and need our
care, and some public business will not longer
wait upon my SORROW. May a gracious God
keep and bless you all. Most gratefully yours,

In regard to the proposition that some
means snail be taken to prevent Anarchists
from becoming citizens OF this country we
say that. under our present laws. an alien
Anarchist cannot become an American citizen
without committing perjury: for every man.
when he takes out papcrs Of naturalization,
must take an oath that he will support the
Government. Constitution. aud laws OF the
United states. As the Fundamental principle
Oh aharchlsm Is opposition to all government
ana law. no Anarchist can take this oath with
out swearing falsely In no event can an
Anarchist tako n legal oath ANYHOW. for the
Anarchist believes neither in tho Cop by
whom he swcars nor in the State to which no
takes an oath. Therefore no immigrant who
admits that he is an Anarchist can lawfully
become an American citizen,

American Catholics VIII Remain Amer
leans,

The August number OF the Reriep of Re
rieus contains an interesting article on the
attempt to use the machinery Of the Ameri-
can Catholic Church to avert the absorption
OF European emlgrants into the great mass
OF our English-speaking people and to per-
pctuate distinct nationalitles in the United
States. For tho moment. happily the at
tempt has failed. thanks to the vigorous
protests of distinguished American prelates.
and above all. to the wisdom OF the present
occupant of the Papal chair. But the
scheme has not been abandoned. and it Is
well that all Americans. without distinction
OF sect. should keep their eyes upon its
promoters.
This anti-American programme has re-
ceivcd name from the European diplo-
matist who has been its most persistent
advocate in Germany and at Rome. 1t Is
Herr CAHENsLY. the Austro-Hungarian rep
resantative at the Vatican. to whom we are
indebted for the new word, Cahenslyism,"
which may be defined as q combined effort
OF ecclesastics and journalists. mostly
Germans. with the representatives OF for
eign powers. for the purpose OF roofing
foreign languages and foreign ideas In this
country. and OF employing the Roman
Catholic Church rs means to that end. It
was Herr CAHENsLY and other subjects OF
| European powers who. in conference held
not long ago ut Lucerne. urged LEO
Kill to carry out their plans by deferrlng
| to the wishes OF German. Italian. French
Canadian, and other foreign-born citizens
| Of the United States in the matter OF ap-
| pointments of Bishops to certain dioceses.
A more eSregious exhibition OF impuuence
was never made than this assumption on
| the part Of foreigners OF right to inter-
NEEDLE In American affairs. Tho motive OF
| the interference WAS avowed with cynical
candor by Herr CAHENsLY himself In a
memorial presented last year to the Propa-
| ganda. Through their emigrants. he said.

We think highly Of the project OF erecting
In this city an edilce for the use OF the learned
bodies which have recently been brought into
sort OF union under the tito OF the "Ameri-
can Scientific Alliance" among which are the
Chemical. Neurological. Microscopical 30.
tanical. Mathematical. and LinnHan societios.
and the Academy OF Sciences. The project is
to erect an imposing edice. in which there
shall be separate quarters for each of these
societies and for their libraries and apparatus.
and also an nmphtheatre for the service Of all
OF them. The idea is good one. and it gives
us pleasure to commend It. We would have
the editice even larger than 100 by 100 feet
and even more costly than S300.OOO as quar-
tiers will doubtless be desired in 1t by other
bodies than those now in the Scientific ALI
ance. 1t ought to be great Temple OF All tho
Sciences. worthy OF New York. the American
metropolis OF science.
