To the Worlds Fnir--An Appeal MAIDS
by the Commissioners to the Citizens
of the State.
The Delaware managers for The
Worlds Fair have secured room No.
507, Equitable Building us depot for
the collection of all fine art, literary and
other contributions of that nature, to
be exhibited in the Delaware Building
At Chicago.
The commissioners take this uppor-
tunity Of appealing to the feeling of
State pride which inspires all Della
wareans to interest themselves to the
extent of aiding in the work OF making
such contributions as will insure to this
State some degree Of excellence in con-
trast with the exhibits that will as
suredly appear in the state buildings of
our sister commonwealth.
This can be only guaranteed in the
intelligent action of the Individual citi-
Aens OF Delaware upon whom personally
the success of the exhibit in its features
of intrinsic value will entirely depend.
The time is drawing close for the final
arrangements.
The credit Of Delaware before the
world depends on her own citizens.

artistic and historical treasure in hiding

from those lands, who will come TO the
great fair next year, some OF them per-
haps to look up these family con nee
tons. Most important is the unlimited
fund of colonial lore lying latent and
yet unreveaed in this family archives of
the old hundreds of the State,
A complete exhibit Of contempt
raneous art as il exists in this common
wealth will be attempted, and also one
Of literature, in which it will be essayed
to demonstrate to the world that this
State has done its share, unostenta-
tiously, it is true, but none the less
effectively, in building up and estab-
fishing the higher aims Of this country

of the state are so conducted az TO pre-
vent in practice the religious education
Of the child, or TO endanger its religious
faith, Mgr, Satolli demands that Cath
olics, as far as circumstances warrant,
maintain special Catholic schools; but
he shows plainly the willingness of the
church to do her share toward parallel
action, in virtue of which religion and
secular knowledge are both impaired,
without one impeding the other, with
ont church or state covering one the
sphere of the other. For him the state is
no hugbear wherewith 10 be alarmed; it
is an agent for good, To be honored and
to be benefited, even though IL may need
at times direction and aid from its citi-
Zens.
NOTHING TO FEAR FROM THE CHURCH.
1T is most plain by this time to the
American people, so that he who runs
may read, that the principles of the
American Republic and American lib.
erty, far from having to fear from the
Catholic church, find in her teachings
and Influence most sOlid support. lie
who has read the encyclical of Leo XIII.
and observed his action on chrstendom
cannot doubt this.
Here aud there individual Catholics
may show forth narrownesS and short
stghtedness that astonish aud discourage
But those Catholics arc not the church.

racy, no thinking, unparalleled Ameri-
can will fail to admire.
No CONTRADICTION.
"a word on the reported difference
between Mgr Satolli's address and the
resolutions of the archbishops on the
school question. Whatever may be the
private opinions of some prelatcs, Il
matter of which know nothing, am
very sure that there is no contradiction
whatever between the official resolution
of the conference and the discourse of
Mgr. Satolli.
"The reading of resolutions and dis
course tells all this. 1t is absurd TO
suppose that the archhishops would off.
clally put themselves on record against
the representative Of the pope, speak
ing in the name Of the pope. They
formally take in their resolutions, as the
basis of their conclusions, the decrecs of
Baltimore and the decisions Of the holy
see.
BY. the words and decisions Of the
holy SEQ they make room for all cxpla-
nations and developments of the DEGREES
of Baltimore, which may have come
from Rome since the holding of the
council, as, for instance, the decision in
the so.called Faribault case, and the
very teaching Of Mgr. Satolli, voicing
for America the mind Of Rome"
