supervisors of highways. which shall
provements and FIX the rate of taxation
for road purposes. Road taxos arc to be
paid like other taxes and not worked
out. and are to be fairly apportioned be-
tween cities and the country. These are
the main features of the system adopted
by the congress and which the Legis-
lature will be asked to enact. Whether
it shall meet the approval of the Legis-
lature or not, the Journal thinks it was
wise for the congress to agree on some
definite plan. The organization can
now 90 before the Legislature with a re-
question definite action, and if that body
does not approve of the plan proposed
it can modify it or adopt some other.
The main thing is to have it impressed
on the public and the Legislature that
tho present system is radically defective
and that a change is imperatively de-
manded. Perhaps the worst feature of
the present law is that which allows
road taxes 20 be worked out, though the
district supervisor system is almost
equally as bad in that it places the con-
struction of roads in the charge of per-
sons who. as a rule, are utterly incom-
petent. No road law can be made effect
i've that does not provide for the pay
ment Of the road tax in money and for
placing the control of road building in
competent hands. One Of the best re-
suits of the congress was the distinct
and emphatic recognition of this idea.
On the whole. the people of Indiana are
to be congratulated on the successful
inauguration of a movement which, un-
der proper management, may and prob
ably will, become an important factor in
the progress and development of the
State.

POPE LgO's ATTITUDE TOWARD PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.

The confirmation which Pope Leo's
Iegate, Monsignor Satolli, has given of
the decree of the POntiff regarding the
attitude of the Catholic Church to the
public schools, as given in q Washing
ton dispatch in yesterdays Journal,
leaves no ground for doubt upon that
subject. His representative distinctly
states that where there are 10 parochial
schools it is the wish of Leo that the
children of Catholic parents should at
tend the public schools and receive re-
ligious instructions at home. Where
there are parochial schools he prefers
that such children shall attend them,
though no compulsion will be exercised.
After such a declaration as this there
is no longer n ground to suspect the
Catholic clergy of hostility to the public
school system. Those who shall con-
time such q course are either ignorant
or vicious. If there has been hostility
in the past on the part of the Catholic
Church it no longer exists. The parents
of Catholic children are as free to send
them to the public schools where there
are church schools as would the parents
of Protestant children be under similar
circumstances. There is no longer a
difference. 1t is not a little remarkable
that q prelate who never saw America,
and who may be assumed to be beyond
the influences which affect Americans,
should see the importance of removing
all possible antagonism between the
communicates of his church in this

EVIOTIONs III NEW YORK.

Evictions of Irish tenantry have made
extensive drafts on American sympa-
thies and the American pocket within
capacities of landlords and the suffer-
ings of poverty-stricken, starving peo-
pie turned out of their homes have
stirred the hearts of the benevolent on
this side of the water to such purpose
that large sums. of money have been
contributed from time to time, and are
still being given and forwarded srelief
funds. 1t is probable that each contrib
utor to these funds feels, when offer
ing his gift, a complacent pride and
satisfaction i'll the thought that such ex-
hibitiops of cruel la~ndlordism do not
and cannot occur in this country. and
that wholesale evictions are unknown
here. He is aware, of course, that Oc-
casionally q tenant is put out of his
house for nOn-payment of rent or other
reasons, and that hardships necessarily
follow, but this he regards as a matter
of business with which he has no right
to NEEDLE. Probably the tenant wasidle
or d~issipated, or otherwise TO blame, and
In owner of property must look ont for
his W interests, even ut the cost of
some inconvenience and discomfort
to others. argues the man who
is filed with burning indignation
over tho course of Irish landowners in
demanding the fultillment of contracts.
But, according TO a showing by William
p. Mclaughlin, in the Arena, there is
room and reason for the exercise of
sympathy and the practice Of charity
without going so far away from home.
He gives some startling figures relative
tn the number Of evictions of tenants in
New York city. Upon his showing
more than twice the number of evic-
ions took place in that city in 1891 than
occurred in Ireland in the sane year.
In 1890 the figures for New York were
% $685. evictions. while the grand total
for Ireland was only a little over 5000.
In the year ending with September,
1892. there was q total of $3.50 evictions
in n judicial district, the Fourth. in
New York city; in another, the Fifth,
500. These two districts form the
most crowded and COSMOPOLITAN region

and take the most effective measures to
prevent it. Once declared, this wise
policy will not be revoked. 1t is wise
because it settles all cause of suspicion
which many well-meaning and intelli-
gent people have been unable to rid
themselves of. The good results cannot
be overestimated.
This action. however, is in accord
with the general policy of Leo. He has
used his influence to bring peace and
stability to governments. In Germany
he has been instrumental in settling the
church contentious over religious in
struction in schools. In France he has
shown his regard for existing government
by disciplining those prelates who have
assumed a hostility toward the republic
because of their attachment to an i'm
possible monarchy. He has taken Occa-
sion to deplore the vast military estab-
lishments of Europe, and has rendered
his services to aid in abolishing them.
Leo is one of the progressive and phi
lanthropic statesmen of the period, a
fact which enables him to use his great
mower wisely.

THE ROAD CONGRESS-.

The recent Indiana road was
q credit to the State, and. as a first step
toward a much-needed reform, was en-
tirely successful. The attendance was
large and representative. the papers
were for the most part able and practi-
cal, and the discussions were interest
ing and profitable. If the latter were
at times somewhat discursive and scat
tering this was to be expected in the
opening up of a new subject, and it was
noticeable that the congress Dol got
back to the business in hand. 1t had a
fitting conclusion in the formation of an
organization to be known as 1.-THE
Indiana Highway Improvement AS

ficers who will take care that

The report of the legislative commit

on earth, the business of more thar
400, 900 people being transacted in the
first mentioned. A great increase in
the number of evictions is in conse-
quence of the recent extraordinary inn
migration from Russia. and the causes
of the misfortunes of this class of peo-
pie are their extreme poverty on
arrival, the difficulty Of securing work
in that crowded quarter, except at the
lowest wages, and the impossibility OF
reaching better fields of labor; these.
together with sickness and death, and
consequent depletion of family re-
sources. account for the inability to
meet the demands of landlords more
often than drunkenness or other vice.
But in other and less crowded districts,
and among other classes of residents.
the evictions are in almost proportion
ate numbers. In the Seventh district,
where are the big tenement-house cigar
factories, and where various rationale
ties c~OnEregate, with Hungarians, per-
haps, in the majority. $500 dispossess
warrants were issued last year. AT one
time the spectacle of eighty families
living for q week on the sidewalks was
q feature of New York civilization.
All this. of course, has no spectacular
political features, as in Ireland, to fire
the public heart. 1t is a social cOndi-
ton accompanying a conResred popula-
ton, and this congestion is due to unre-
strlcted immigration. Landlords may
be grasping and hard-hearted, but it
cannot be required of them to shelter
these people without recompense, nor
can the public be expected to provide
for them indefinitely, with the prospect
that new and constantly arriving hordes
of foreign paupers will add to the bur-
den. Labor interests and social and
sanitary interests of the community are
all affected by this state of affairs, and
1t should be q strong argument In favor
of the movement to restrict immigra-
ton. To allow it to continue unhin-
dered is to belle the claims of this coun-
try to the possession of an advanced
civilization.
