Courtship in China.

A curious custom prevails at Huay-
ning-hsien, in Kwangsi. On the fif-
teenth day of the first month in each
year all the young ladies and gentlemen
take walk to the Yen-yen mountain.
Each damsel carries little box, which
she deposits at the foot of the hill. Any
young gentleman DESTROYS of entering
the bonds of matrimony may select one
of the boxes and take it away with him,
whereupon the fair owner of the box
makes herself known and an acquaint-
anceship is thus formed. III assorted
matches are not likely to occur, as this
custom is observed only among the well
to do classes of society.-Schnitze und
Shame

The American Catholic Church.

What is called by its enemies the
"Cahensley conspiracy" has resulted in
raising most important question in the
Roman Catholic church in America.
Cahensley worked sedulously to obtain
papal authority to have the children OF
Catholic immigrants in America in
structed in the language of their par
ents. both in church and in school.
There should be, according to the Ca
hensley idea, priests, bishops and arch
bishops Of all the nationalities repre-
sented by immigrants in America.
Thus keeping alive foreign languages
and instruction and being presided over
by foreign priests, the Roman Catholics
In America would be more easily con-
trolled from Europe, Cahensley argued.
Against this doctrine Archbishop John
Ireland, Of st. Paul, set himself. He
was chaplain in one of the Minnesota
regiments during the war. He is a zeal
ous American, believing in the govern
ment Of the United States with all his
soul. He wishes the children Of for
eigners as soon as possible to be instruct
ed in the constitution and government
and in the workings of our free institu.
tons. For this reason he advocates in.
struction in the English language in the
church schools, and would put instruc.
tors who teach in English over all the
children. Only by this means he be
ieves the unity of the American Catho
lie church can be preserved. Where
separate English parochial schools car
only be maintained with difficulty Arch
bishop Ireland would have Catholic
children sent to the public schools
rather than that they miss the thorough
training in English.
The question before the mind Of Arch
bishop ireland, as summarized by Alber
Shaw, is this: lis the Catholic church il
America TO be considered now and per
manently complex group of Europeai
colonies, or is it to be made American
in language and sympathy, accepting h
the fullest sense the principles of Amer
can government and lifey'

The Brooklyn Eagle, Democratic,
makes protest against allowing the
Democratic party to be ruled by the
South any longer. 1t points to the
vote for Cleveland in 1888, Of which
the Northern states gave him 1877, AS
votes and the Southern 1917, l37 votes
But the South will have a cinch ON the
control of the Democratic party 80 long
as it DISTINGUISHES the black vote and
thus dishonorably secures electoral
votes for the Democracy.

The Temperance Saloon.

Why not? Rev. DR.. Rainsfords pro-
posal to have the churches countenance
resorts where beer and light wines are
sold, and even to encourage such as a
temperance measure, is one that fills
total abstainers with horror. And GER
tainly if the reverend gentleman had
studied the figures of the awful increase
of drunkenness in Germany in the past
thirty years, where just such drinking
places as he suggests have been the
vogue for generations, he might have
hesitated before positively recommend
ing drinking saloons as church reform
measure.
But there might be real temperance
saloons without any intoxicants at all
offered for sale. 1t is the social feature
Of the beer saloon that has lured many a
good fellow to his ruin. The glow and
brightness, the merriment and human
good fellowship are what draw at least
half Of mankind to the whisky shop.
Men go to it of evenings because they
have nowhere else. Their poor homes
or cheap boarding houses are not invft-
ing to those who toll all day.
But let us have the temperance saloon,
where workingmen may spend their
evenings. There can be many pleasant,
refreshing drinks without beer, ale,
wine or whisky. Light eatables might
be added. The men could smoke to their
hearts content and play all the games
they now are forced into the whisky
shop TO enjoy. Such temperance houses
carefully managed, would pay in every
town and city, and would be a long dis
lance improvement ON Rev. Dr.. Rains
ford's church beer saloons.

The ChiId,s Protest.

Joseph Haworth, the actor, tells a
story of little girl who was very cur
ious to know all about thunderstorms,
and was told by her mother that they
were the voice of God. A few days
later the child was caught out in thun-
derstorm and called by her mother to
come in. Her little legs came toddling
mp to the piazza as fast as they could,
but as she reached the steps there came
a terrific clap of thunder, and the little
one, looking up, said, with a panied ex-
preston on her face: ooh, bod, 90
needn't holler so loud; Use hurryin dest
as fast as tan. buffalo Express.

We have with us this week the gen.
tleman whose name has been fire.
quently used in these columns in con-
nection with the presidency of the
proposed university. And while he is
here and able to assist in some degree
ia the work, by meeting and talking
with people whose aid yet remains to
be promised, special effort should be
made to complete the endowment and
insure the early commencement of
active work upon what should be
made, and can be made if the right
spirit is manifested, one of the greatest
educational institutions of the Pacific
coast. Fairhaven will lose a great deal
more than many of our people seem
willing TO concede if she loses this
school, and she will lose it if the nee
essary steps are not taken to get it. 1t
is seldom that the people of any place,
however large or old, have an Oppor-
tunity to take advantage of such a
magnificent offer that of Mr.. Lar
rabee and the Fairhaven Land Com
pany. There are comparatively few
instances of such muniicence and the
places that have been so fortunate as to
profit by them are noted all over the
land. The greatest educational institu-
tons in America, Harvard and Yale,
started from infinitely smaller begin
nings than will the proposed uni
versity here if the present plan is car
ried out. Girard college at Philadel-
phia owes its origin to the muuificence
of Stephen Girard and the great Johns
Hopkins university at the same place
is a a noble monument to its founder.
At Chicago a mighty school is being
established through the princely liber-
Atty of John ID. Rockefeller, and at
Palo Alto, near San Francisco,
the first years work of the
great Stanford University is just
drawing to close-an institution
supported by the largest endowment
which the history Of the world records
In the name of any man, and which
has been and is one of the greatest adj
vertisements California has ever had,
and which will be of incalculable bene-
fit to the Golden State for all time to
come. The establishment of a great
school here would be of immense ma
terial benefit in attracting for perma
nent settlement the very best class Of
people, who will not build fine homes
and engage in business where theiI
children cannot enjoy first-class educa
tional advantages,

General Miles declares he is satisfied
from the Chicago experiment that the
bicycle can be made of use in the army
in carrying dispatches from one post to
another. Well, it might be if we had
fairly good country roads in the United
States. On good roads an expert cyclist
can make as good time as a trotting
horse. But carrying General Miles
message from Chicago to General How
ard at New York took a hundred men
four days They relieved one another
by rapid relays, fresh man and fresh
wheel being ready to seize the dispatch
and fly onward with it to the next relay
station. The distance from New York
to Chicago is 1000 miles, so that the
best relays of wheelmen can do in our
country is an average of a little more
than ten miles an hour, at least in rainy
weather, which continued all the four
days. When the highways were good
one Of General Miles wheelmen showed
that he could travel mile in three min
utes, and he kept up this gait for nearly
half an hour. In France not long since
single wheelman, who was of course
obliged to stop for rest and food, made
for thirty-fve hours the same average
speed that our cyclists did in relays.
Let us have decent roads.
