The School System of the Church and
What Its Aims Are-The New COnstitu-
tion Adopted.
NEWARK, N. J., September 27.-The
Sixth German Catholic Congress was for
mally open this morning, when Archbishop
Corrigan celebrated pontiticial high mass
at ST Peters church. The church was
filed with priests and delegates. No
women were in the church except those in
the choir The mass proceeded with the
usual pOmp, with the Archbishop as the
celebrant and Vicar General John O'Con-
nor as assistant priest. Bishops Wigger,
Jansen and Richter also took part IN the
ceremonies.
The Very Rev. DR.. Anton Heller, of
Buffalo, preached the sermon. He spoke
in German for an hour, and had the wcapt
attention of the congregation. He said IN
part: ''The disease of the time is the indif-
ferent religious feeling or the thoughtless-
ness Of ones faith. No country is free from
this disease"
Speaking Of school systems OF various
kinds he said:
In all our parochial schools English is
the main language Some have criticised
our system, and 1 will say again what has
often been said before, and | will say 1t so
loud that all may hear, that our parOchlal
schools are real Catholic institutions that
have no national tendency except that the
scholars be taught TO become good citizens
and remain practical Catholics. Should
we hold a hundred Catholic congresses our
cry will always be: Our Catholic schools
are necessary and must be sustained, not
withstsnding anything to the contrary
that may be said"
At the close of the mass a meeting was
held in the school hail. eighty priests, dele
gates from all over the United States, being
present. Before the election Of officers for
1898 a new constitution was adopted. The
constitution and amendments were propos-
ed at the Congress held in Buffalo last year
and after being in allegiance fora year were
adopted this morning 1t cannot now be
repealed except by a two-thirds vote Of the
convention. The meeting was secret. no
one but delegates being allowed in.
At4 o'clock the first business meeting of
the Congress was held in St. Peters. To

Worlds Fair Closing Legislation.

TORONTO, ONT, September % AT this

upon by the business committee, and the

formed churches throughout the world, ex-
pressed It's cordial satisfaction with the
action of the United States Congress in
closing the Worlds Fair on Sunday, and
expressed the opinion that this would tend

or Columbian Exposition on the Lords
Day, expresses the ardent hope that there
shall be no reversal of this action, and as
council holding the consensus Of the re-
formed churches specially rejOices in the

port Of his amendment was 1--WE tind fault
with the civil authorities when they do
wrong, let US commend them when they do
right"
Rev. DR.. BroWnsOn, of Washington, Pa,
said that his government was sensitive.
He thought that the council should deal
gently with him.

closed on Sunday, but he objected 10 Con-

The St. james Gazette's View.

LONDON, September 27.-The So. James
Gazette, commenting on Mr.. Cleveland's
letter accepting the Democratic nomina-
tion for the Presidency of the URited
States, says:
"Mr. Cleveland's words have one mean

whatever Of adopting free trade. The
Democrats are more tepid for tariff reform
than they were in 1855. We can therefore
only conclude that in the opinion OF the
sagacious party leaders who make IL their
special business 70 watch public opinion,
the Mckinley tariff has not made protec-

for q moment, Lyons seized a large
piece of iron and threw it at him with
all his force. 1t barely missed him and
Lyons followed it up with other mis-
sileS. The guards soon closed on him
and they clinched, rolling over and over
in the shop. Other guards came TO the
rescue and Lyons was marched oil to

standing at the Mcclure House bar,
when the door opened and VIII
Feinler, bartender at the Buffet,
made a rush at him, and struck him
square in the face with his fist. Both
meA then clinched and were scuiiling

Peck Clalms FIRST Blood.

ALBANY, n. Y, September 27.-Labor
Commissioner Peck was in court to-day TO
show cause why he should not allow an ex-
animation Of the tariff circulars received
from New York City manufacturers on
which the Commissioner prepared his re-
port of the effect OF tariff on labor. Mr..
Peck's plea was that all correspondence
conducted by him with employees and en-
plovers was under special pledge Of Sc
crecv. without which no figures could be
obtained. The same method prevailed in
other States, and the returns he had re-
ceived were mis- own property and not that
of the State. hence no call upon him for the
basis of his reports should be honored. The
case went over until October l. When Mr..
Peck was leaving the room he remarked.
