CATHOLIC BOYS.
The League of the Cross to Have a
Military Organization.

Steps are being taken TO organize mill
tary association among the members of
the League Of the Cross, the local Catholic
temperance order organized by Father
Montgomery.
The new military organization Is to be
on very similar lines to those of the
Boys Brigade in the Methodist Episcopal
Church. All the members are said to be
interested in the new cadet company.
which will start under the most favorable
auspices.
According to the rules obtaining in the
Boys Brigade. the boys will be formed
into companies, only those feet inches
in height or over being eligible for a
cadetsnip. They will elect their own of
ficers, will be uniformed and have regular
drills. A few youngsters below the regu-
lation height will he available as drummer
boys. Armorias will doubtless be estab-
lished at convenient points and ali the
essential features of military organization
be effected.
1t is understood that the boys of that
branch of the League of the Cross which
has been formed at st. Mary's Cathedral
have expressed a desire to compose the
frstcompany organized, and it is possible
that thew will BE- accorded that distinction.
Rev. Father York is taking deep inter-
est in the boys, and believes the new idea
will increase the interest taken in the
society of the League of the Cross. Colonel
William P. Sullivan of the First Regiment
n. g. c., has agreed TO give the first in
structlons in the manual, so that the men,
bers of the proposed military organization
are insured an efficient instructor at the
start, at all events.

The Church of ST. Elizabeth was dedi-

CONGRESS OF ALL RELIGIONS.
DR.. Anderson's Interesting Address
to the Theosophicai Society.

TO the lhe0S0pnicai society.
DR.. Jerome A. Anderson spoke before
the Theosophcal Society last evening at
Red Mems Hall on the recent congress of
all religions held at Chicago.
An unusually large audienca was pres
ent. DR.. Anderson was delegate to the
congress and his talk was something In the
nature Of report to the body which he
represented.
Two hundred and fifty years before Bud
dha the first religious congress of which
we have now any record was held, said
DR.. Anderson. There have been many
since then. notably that of Constantine.
The speaker thought the efforts of the
Theosophical Society to get all creeds to
realize that there were certain grounds
common to them all and upon which they
might all agree were largely responsible
for the convention of the greatest of all
religious congresses the one just held in
Chicago.
Most of the delegates who came to that
congress were imhued with the central
thought that they would be able TO con-
vince all other creeds that theirs was the
only true religion. But the result was not
so narrow. The deliberations Of the great
body had resulted in a broader and more
Tolerant view of all religious beliefs, and
the first step toward the realization of a
common humanity, so far as it may be af-
1ected by dogmalic beliefs, was taken in
that congress.
Through that assemblage all religions
came to know that there were certain great
truths upon which all could unite; came
also to great extent to realize that the
time for loving rather than hating had
come, and that the truths common to all
faiths were the essentials of those faiths.
At some length DR.. Anderson then de-
scribed the deliberations of the theosophi-
cal branch of the congress. which he
declared was far better attended than
those OF the Presbyterian embages.

HOW THEY TOLD THEM APART.

the waitress.

precisely like those in the first dish, aud

they should ever get mixed up. AS long as they

And suppose the man should say, yes,

dish should in this way work along The table

CLEVELAND, April, 24th, 1893.
j. II. REIGNER, President, &c, Canton,
Ohio.
Ny DEAR SIR Il have your esteemed
favor of the 2lst inst, inviting me to
deliver an address TO your club on the
Silver question. l did promise Mr..
Krichbaum to give you talk on the
Silver subject, but afterwards found
that my business engagements were
such as to be practically exclusive of
these additional pleasures, aud request
him to excuse me from the engage
ment.
do, however, regard this subject as
OF very great Importance TO the Demo
cratic party and to the people of the
country, and while know that Cleve-
land is entirely wrong in his views on
the subject, ana that his administration
in this regard is going to be failure,
still deem it Of the utmost import
ance to the substantial interests OF the
people that the Democratic party
should assume q correct position on the
question, and l do not know that /
ought wholly to withhold my humble
efforts to set them right, if l can do
anything to that end.
If you will arrange for such address
at date not earlier than three weeks
from this time, and give me notice of
the time right away, so that / will be
able to put few spare moments from
time TO time into preparation, 1 will
come down and give you talk on the
subject.
need not say that l would do for
the Young Mems Club of Canton what
l could hardly be persuaded TO do by
any other organization in the State. l
love them for their fidelity to Democ-
racy and for their feariessness and
courage in standing by their conviC-
tions when their convictions are once
settled. Very respectfully

SOME WESTERN ADVICE TO PRESIDENT
CLEVELAND.
From tn, Illinois State Register.

The only liabilities Of the federal
government which are payable in gold
alope are the gold certifcates. These
amout 10 S115,OOOOO0. Silver certid.
Gates, of which there are circulation
about $325,O00000, are Tedeemable in
silver; and the treasury notes OF green
backs, of which there are 1916, 100000
outstanding, are payable in coin. The
administration therefore, in redeeming
Its obligations SHOULD maintain the
parity of silver by using 1t III common
with gold. Mr.. Cleveland cannot in
sist, as he appears TO do, upon the
payment in gold alone OF the silver
certificates and greenbaeks, which are
payable on, their face in silver or in
"cOin," without Gt the same time dis
cre6iting silver and in effect subOrdi-
mating IL 10 gold. Mr.. Cleveland should
not submit to the dictates Of the gold
bugs of Wall street. He cannot
maintain the parity of gold and silver,
as he Gays it is his intention OF doing,
by discrediting the white metal. Give
the Wall street wolves some good sold
fashioned dollars Of the daddles,'
Mr. Cleveland, and they will stop their
bowling for q new bond issue.

THE CHEERFUL IDIOTS.


n The Ohio Republican papers are now
printing dispatches from Washington,
from 9l6 q week reporters, saying,
Mckinley is sure to be reelected Gov
ernor of Ohio.
The budding youths who send out
these unbelieved romances know just
about as much about Ohio politics as
q recently imported Hun knows of the
pedigree of Queen Lii of the leprous
isles. The Leader of Cleveland prints
Washington dispatch, In its issue of
today, which reads thus:
"Colonel Thomas II. Anderson, who
lives at Cambridge and who was until
recently United States Minister to Boil
via, has Just returned from there. He
ia certain, of course, that Major McKin-
ley will be renominated. In view of
the fact said he today, that Ohio
is such a large wool growing State,
Governor Mckinley will have large
following among the Democratic farm
ers who are wool growers. They will
support him because he is the advocate
of the retention of the duty on WOOL"
It provokes broad grin to read the
above. Just think of man, who has
returned from Bolivia, and who abso-
lutely knows nothing about Ohio poll
tics, and who, before he went to Bolivia,
didn't know enough to stay at home
and make an honest living in Ohio,
now masquerading as a political
prophet on the wool question. Why,
every citizen of Ohio, with as much
brains as q worm fence chip -munk,
knows that the wool tariff is just what
hurts Mckinley, Everybody knows
that wool has Rever been so low in
Ohio, as since the Mckinley wool tariff
came to depress the wool market.
Aud here comes this mutton headed
American exile, from Bolivia, who was
so far away that he never heard of the
great cyclones of 1890 and 1892, and
undertakes to talk prophecy
The Leader is evidently hard up for
available prophets when an obscure
Buckeye is pressed into service from
the wilds of Bolivia, country without
a sea coast or civilization, and where
| two thirds of all the revenues are eaten
up by standing army. Why don't the
Leader interview one of the recently
imported from Bologna. They made
excellent sausage in Bologna, before the
Mckinley bill, and bologna interests
as many Americans as WOOL Besides
/ Bologna IS not located amid the bar
barrie yawp of the Southern Andes, like
Bolivia, but it is one Of the great cen
ters of learning in Italy, and prophet
from Bologna, even with the garnlture
of garlic, would have more believers in
Ohio than the recently recalled Buck
eye from the rustic shades of Cam
bridge.
And is there no one else. from any
where else, to predict the Majors elec-
| ton. Try the snake charmers from
Siam, at The Worlds Far; or one of the
jibbering monkeys from the Chimbo
razo country,

THE HAZlNG OUTRAGE IN DELAWARE
COLLEGE,

The Cleveland Leader discredits its
own news. In "a special from Delaware
the Leader says, in speaking of the re-
cent hazing outrage In which several
students were Scared in their faces for
life. The Leader says:
"The parents of the victims are here,
and say they propose to probe the whole
affair to the bottom. They personally
told the reporters that they have no
fault to find with the reports that have
been sent to the newspapers, and the
reports are all true, and the half has
not been told"
In the same issue, april 2S) the
Leader says editorially:
"The hazing episode at Ohio Wesley
an University turns out to have been
greatly exaggerated. The young men
branded will not be scarred for life,
and the dismissal which the faculty
visited upon the offenders, which at
first seemed too mild, ia probably Sc
we're enough"
The NEws-DEMOCRAT has had q rep
resentative at Delaware since the out
rage was perpetrated, and we are able
to state that the story of the outrage,
as originally told, is true. The defense
Of the college faculty seems strange, In

this character, especially If they hap

A REPUBLICAN Ex,stNAToR'S VIEWS
From the Toledo News.

Hon. A. ID. Fsssett, ex.state senator
and labor commissioner, says that Gov.
Mckinley will no doubt be renominated
and - He says there are two ele-
ments who favor McKinley's nomina-
tiop, viz, a pack of egotists who are
not ln touch with public sentiment, and
another element who are willing to sac
ritice the state to even things up with
the governor. "Between these two ele,
ments," says Mr.. Fassett, "real Repub-
licaps will be ground into pulp" Mr..
Fassett further says that there are peo-
pie in the state who could give the gov
ernor few useful pointers but they are
afraid to, 80 intent is he on listening to
the siren song of such fellows as Bill
Hahn and Geo. Holms, If affords the
people some consolation in their
troubles, to know that Ohio will not be
obliged to get along without governor,
even that Mckinley is defeated. Thus
it is that the darkest cloud has silver
lining and feather edge.
