HE North and West, Presbyterian
organ published in this city, commenting
on the action of the Saltwater board of
education, says that with their education
the Catholic Sisters are wholly incom-
petent to act as efficient teachers ia the
public schools, and with their exclusive
sectarianism they are incapacitated for
recognizing the religious rights and
privileges of Protestant children. The
North and West must be aware that the
Sisters submitted themselves to an exam
nation in the requisite branches and re-
ceived certificates of competency from
the superintendent of schools. So far as
scholarship goes they are fully qualified
to teach. During the term their strong
est DIRECTORS conceded their ability to
impart instruction, and therefore it is
entirely wrong to say that they are
wholly incompetent to act as efficient
teachers" AS regards their exclusive
sectarianism rendering them incapable
of teaching Protestant children, their
bitterest opponents have not found fault
with them in that respect. They have
set an example which it would be we'll
for Protestant teachers tr follow in their
treatment of Catholic chilaten attending
the public schools. The North and West
might as well say bluntly that it is OPP
posed to the Sisters for the Protestant
reason that they are Catholics wearing
the garb Of q religious order. It has no
other grounds for rejecting on their
ability as teachers in the public schools.

THE HOMESTEAD RIOTS.

The bloody riots which occurred ON
Wednesday at Homestead, Pa, have
startled the whole country. Over twen-
ty lives we're lost and about fifty persons
we're SO seriously injured that many OF
them are not likely to recover. Inns
terrible holocaust of precious human
lives is the result of conflict between
grasping capital and honest toll. Carne-
gle, the Scottish-American iron baron, is
the chief owner OF the steel works at
Homestead. By the advantage of high
protective tariff, from being compare
lively poor man he has in a few years
become a millionaire. He is not willing
that his employees shall share the bene-
fits accruing to him from the Republican
policy of protection to American indus
tries. He wants the lions share of the
profits and his men must toll for him as
slaves With the year commencing July
/, the scale of wages in his mills was re-
duced from 20 to SO per cent. Not con-
tent with that. the Carnegie Steel COM
pany was bent on breaking up their
laborers' organization and putting non
union men in their mills, and their
employees were given to understand that
after certain date they would be hired
as individuals and not as members OF a
union organization. The company anti
cipated that their men would not accept
such arbitrary terms and that trouble
would ensue. So about six weeks ago
they fortified their mills by the erection
of board fence around the steel works.
This device is described as follows: On
the top are strung three strands OF
barbed wire SO connected that current
of electricity may be sent through them
from the electric plant by the simple
turning of switch id the office. Port
holes four inches in diameter were bored
along this fel CO at the height of mans
eye. Trenches were dug over all parts
of the works to various points along the
fence whore hydrants are stationed.
Connections were made SO that either
cold OF. boiling hot water can be sent
through these pipes to the hydrants.
Hundreds Of arc lights have been strung
on high poles throughout the plant and
along the fence and on all the buildings
near the roadway search lights have
been placed. Railroad tracks run be-
tween the Office Of the company and the
fence surrounding the works. An add

THE INDIAN CATHOLIC CONGRESS

THE INDIAN CATHOLIC CONGRESS.
1t is fact beyond dispute that the
Catholic Church, through its Jealous
missionaries, has been more successful in
spreading the light of faith among the
red men of the forest than all the Prot
estant sects combined. Catholic mis-
sionaries have penetrated into the wilder
ness as the pioneers of civilization and
taught the knowledge of God and his
holy laws to the untutored savages. The
Catholic Church in it's work of christian
ling the Indians has proved it's apostolic
claims to be the Church established by
the Saviour IF the world. In spite OF
obstacles thrown in their way by the
United States government, the Catholic
missionaries have accomplished grand
work. The Indian congress which was
convened at the Cheyenne agency this
week by Bishop Marty was an imposing
spectacle which demonstrated the power
of the Church in dealing with the aborig
ines. The bishop went among the Sioux
sixteen years ago, and through his labors
5000 of them have embraced the Catho-
lie faith and abandoned their super
stitious practices. The bishop issued a
call for a congress of red men on the oc-
casion of the completion OF the new
Catholic church erected at the agency by
the philanthropic Miss Frances Drexel,
of Philadelphia. The dedication cere-
mony was conducted last Sunday by the
bishop in the presence of great gather
ing of Indians, many Of them being mem:
bers of religious societies. The, young
4 men are members of the order of st. 10
! aeph. and the women are members OF the
! order Of Mary. A special correspondent
fthe Minneapolis Evening Journal fur

sof the proceedings: When the ceremony

SNoB SMALnEY, the demoral1zed Amer
lean who acts as London correspondent
Of Whitelaw Reid's New York Tribune,
is doing all he can to turn American
sympathy away from Gladstone and the
cause he advocates. The following is a
specimen of Smalley's style of repc rting:
Mr.. Gladstone's Chaplain reply to u
ster is hardly reply and the impartial
reader asks: SIS this indeed all that can
be said?" He THINKS that the Irish Ro-
man Catholics would not persecute or
Cypress Protestants. Ulster thinks they
will. He appealed TO history. Ulster
points to the present, to the leadership
Of Archbishop Walsh, to the activity of
the priests.
II would not Cypress Ulster" says MI.
Gladstone. Nobody dreams that he
would. All he proposes to do is to hand
over this great protestant community to
the control of a Dublin parliament, cleo
ted and led by men who are the instru.
ments of the Roman Catholic Church.

building inside the works. A search light
has been placed upon this bridge, and
also sentry box like those surrounding
the walls of Sing Sing and other prisons.
On the top of high wooden building,
which is near the office and the roadway,
but inside the fence, platform has been
erected and preparations made for
Photographic apparatus. This is used
for instantan sous pictures by the flash
light process in case an attack is made
upon the office so that the rioters may be-
identified. On the river front the Car
negie steel launch Annie was fitted out
as war ship, with swivel guns, and sew
eral fatboats were equipped with howitz-
ers and search lights. There is talk of
torpedoes in trenches and OF various
other warlike preparations which the
Carnegie people are making, but the men
believe that electricity and hot water are
relied upon as the best defenEes OF fort
Frick," as the steel plant is called now.
Who ever heard of such contrivances to
overawe and intimidate the free citizens
of free country? There was no occasion
for such defenses If the men were prop
erly treated and paid adequate remuner-
alton for their labor. Pinkerton detec-
tives we're also called into req1isition by
this baronlal tyrant, who is Low rusticat-
ing in the Highlands Of Scotland. Sew
oral hundred of these mercenary murder
ers, armed with Winchester rifles, were
employed by the company and ordered
to shoot down the men who by the sweat
of their brows had made Carnegie and
his partners the wealthy men they are.
But the Pinl1erton assassins met their
match when they came in contact with
Intelligent American laborers Of Home
stead. Several of them were killed and
many wounded aud the rest were glad to
escape with their lives. At present the
strikers are masters of the situation and
peace reigns in the blood-stained town.
What the outcome will be it is difficult
to predict. It appears to us that the
difficulty could be amicably settled by
arbitration, but the officials of the COM
pany are opposed to any compromise
with the men. Employers and employees
have rights which should be respected
by both of them. Carnegie has written
finely on "'Triumphant Democracy and
spoken in glowing language on the well
fare of the laboring men in this country.
He is a firm believer in the policy Of
protective tariff, and through it's opera
tion he has suddenly risen from poverty
to atf1uence. He has been favorite
with the Republican administration and
has been awarded fat government con-
tracts, amounting to millions, at his OVID
figures. He can we'll afford to be gener-
Gus to his workmen, and pay them at
least as high as other employers in the
same industry are paying heir workmen
The American people of every shade OF
political opinion cannot but condemn
the action of the Carnegie Steel compa
ny, and at the next election they will
show by their votes that they do not IA
vor policy which is making nlillionaires
of men who are trying to enforce the
pauper wages Of Europe on American
workmen. Such men as Carnegie must
be shorn OF the privileges they enjoy un-
der high and burdensome taxation on
the people.
