The Papal encyclical on the school Ques-
ton is another among many recent indica-
tions Of the great Importance which the de-
velopment Of the Roman Catholic Church in
this country has in the mind OF LEO XIII.
No other part OF his spiritual dominions
seems to have been OF deeper concern to
the Pope for several years past
The Pontiflcal letter also makes clear the
purpose OF the appointment Of Mgr. SA-
TOLL. 1t describes him as "our delegate"
sent hither In order that "our presence
should be made. as it were. perpetual
among you. by the permanent establish
ment Of an Apostolic Delegation at Wash
ington." He has not come to perform
special and limited function. but
as the spiritual representative of the
Pope. with tho fullest authority which
can be delegated to him. Moreover,
the encyclical explains frankly that the
immediate cause Of the appointment of
the Apostolic Delegate was the existence
OF germs Of dissension among Ameri-
can Catholics. These had developed in
the too well-known controversies concern
ing the instruction Of Catholic youth" and
the Papal command to Mgr. SAToLLI was
to bring about their "extrpation."
In pursuance Of this purpose. the Apostolic
Delegate declared that the DEGREES OF the
Third Plenary Council of Baltimore rs to
such education should be faithfully OBJ
served" "in so far as they contain gen.
eral rule OF action" land that although
the public schools are not to be entirely
condemned, still every endeavor should be
made to multiply Catholic schools and to
bring them to perfect equipment" This
rule the Pope commands to be steadfastly
observed" thus formally sustaining his
Delegate. lin order that. in matter OF so
grave Importance, there may remain no
further room for doubt or for dissension
Of opinions"
Finally. the Pope manifests his wise and
statesmanlike policy by stimulating the
Roman Catholics to ardent patriotism.
prove the earnestness OF your love for
your country" are his noble words. $50
that they who are interested with tho ad-
ministration Of the government. may clearly
recognize how strong an influence for tho
support OF public order Ind for the advance
ment OF public prosperity is to be found in
the Catholic Church" This is an exhorta-
ton which might we'll be addressed to
all the Christian bodies: and they all must
applaud the spirit which inspires LEO XIII.
In its utterance.
Imbued with such spirit. the Roman
Catholic Church in the United States can
never grow 80 great as to be cause OF
reasonable fear: and in cultivatins it the
Papacy will command the respect even Of
those who reject its authority.

party that small but fatal squad. In
1891 the Hon. JACOB sLoAT FAssETr OF FL
mira and Heidelberg led the Republican
forces in ian aggressive fight upon
the Tammany CITADEL" and yet ne was
beaten ridiculously. although he was not
the victim Of the Mugwump evil eye. Can
anything be more aggressive than ME-.
FAssETT was2 He had plenty OF time.
and he used It all in asseverating the
innate iniqulty and peculiar cussedness
OF Tammany. Wherever he went he
pictured diabolic tiger upon the
screen OF his eloouenoe. He appealed to
every race to Join In e holy war against the
wickedness Of Tammany. He took OH MS
coat rs a testimony against the beast. he
had q whole brigade OF orators. hired OF VOL
unteer. OF assorted ages. nationalities' IAN
guages, and sizes. to help him to spread
hatred and defiance OF Tammany from
Rouse's Point to French Creek. and from
Randall Road TO Fishers Island. Ihey
made tho eagle scream and the wolf howl;
and 1t was thought that the country people
we're greatly frightened, and that the tiger
was on his last legs. But after the election
Mr.. FAssErr was found to be decorating an
interior after the manner OF the lady who
went out to ride as described in the quat-
rain which the Infanta EULAL1A admires.
Can anybody do harder work In the way
OF abusing Tammany than Mr.. FAssETT and
his associates did, Will not the task be
harder in an of year, Tammany never
INDUCES in "off" years. At any rate,
repetition OF the performance OF 1891 ought
to be amusing as we'll as harmless. and the
Republicans can't begin to prepare for 1t
too soon. 1t will take long time for them
to persuade the voters who don't live In
this town that they ought to be greatly
exercised over Tammany.

The Decline OF the Populists.

In New York. conventions for the nom
nation OF candidates for State offices are
usually held in October. the month preced-
ing the election; and our present electoral
code precludes the fling OF certificates OF
nomination at q much earlier date. In
the Western. Southern. and New England
States. however. it Is customary to make
nominations as early as June or July. and
Eve months State campaign Is. therefore.
not an unusual thing. especially where the
farmers are the most numerous body OF
voters. Such nominating conventions are
now holding. or have already been held, in
several States: and 1t is q noticeable fact
that those called by the Populist party.
which cast one million votes for Its candi-
date for President less than eight months
ago, are but slightly attended. There Is little
enthusiasm. Many counties are unrepre-
sented. OBJECTIONS from the ranks are
seen everywhere. and In some localities the
collapse or the whole movement seems to
DO complete. For such a state OF affairs there
must be some sound reason. because the
existing economic conditions are peculiarly
favorable to the growth Of party of rad
tcal extremists and disconnected agita-
tors. which the Populists are known to be.
Such an organization usually expands and
becomes formidable when business affairs
arc unsettled. and credits are contracted.
when public confidence Is impaired. and mer-
camille difficulties are Astounding. On the
other hand. season Of good times and
Nplenteous production is fatal to the hopes
OF any organization whose political stock

DOWN WITH THE MICROBES!
An Old Sanita-ian Calls for = Few Appropri-
ations for n National Board OF Health.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-!Sir: have
some things to say to you. and perhaps should
premise by introducing myself / am SAM
tary scientist. have spent tho past twenty
years In constant study OF the willy microbe and
the pestiferous bacterium. l am the scientist
who discovered that every pound Of what is
commonly called good butter contains 01.-
7l9.4l7 bacteria Of the most pestilential pro-
cllvities. l also discovered that these microbes
could be reduced to state OF innocuous desue-
tude by boiling the butter before eating it. Tho
moro study sanitary science tho moro 1 am
impressed with tho need of correcting the ter
rible mistake which was committed when the
bacteria were created.
observe that some Of my fellow scientists
are aEitatinG the need Of National Board Of
Health. am heartily in favor OF this project
Congress should lose no time in appropriating
at least two millions year to start this benen-
cent plan. This would enable the Board to pay
one scientist in each State $1,000 year as
partial recompense for his inestimable services
in studying the habits Of tho microbes 1t is a
shame that we poor scientists have to labor
and toll on Ia poverty instead Of being paid the
good salaries we SO richly deserve.
But some may ask: Where is the two mil
lions year coming from!
/ will tell you how u great fund for the ad-
vnncemcnt OF sanitary science can be raised.
There are large number of pensioners who
are drawing pensions legally awarded them.
But they are we'll to do IN the matter Of this
worlds goods. and do not need these pensions
for their support. or course it is a shame for
such wealthy people to draw their pensions
they should turn them over to the creation Of
a sanitary fund
Then there are large number OF persons
drawing interest on Government bonds who
arc we'll of and do not need this interest for
their support. Such men should be ashamed
to take interest from the Government: they
should turn it over to the creation OF a sani-
tary fund.
l have no doubt that the establishment OF
national Board of Health would result in such
| scientific discoveries OF new ways to subdue
tho microbes that the limit OF human life would
be greatly extended. My belief is that man
would maintain his vigor up to 200 years If the
deeterious effect OF the microbes were neu-
traized.
Let us have a national Board Of Scientists.
supported by national fund raised from the
pensioners and tho bondholders.

Why. then, should the Populists. with
their Iugubrious predictions and thcir
plans for State aid and Government owner
shin OF everything. suffer from this falling
away at a time which ought to be propi
tious for great increase In their memoer-
ship and following2 No one seems 10
know, and no one has tried to answer; yet
the explanation is simple enough when the
facts are considered.
The Popullsts revolted from tho old par
ties in 1890. because neither the Repuoli-
cans nor the Democrats would admit their
representations Of general discomfort. or
adopt the odd methods which they pro-
posed for alternating tho condition OF which
thoy complained. The Populists declared
Mt their Omaha Convention. In 1892, that
the United States were on the verge "of
moral, political. and material ruin The
people we're demoralized; corruption was
rampant; public opinion was silcnced; the
homes OF the inhabitants were covered
with mortgages; labor WINS impoverished; ;
and the fruits OF toll we're boldly stolen
from those whose industry was developing
the nations wealth
On the other hand. the Republicans In
Minneapolis in 1892. found affairs pretty sat
isfactory. They said there was prosperity
In our fields. workshops. and mines
Everything was booming. they declared.
No necessity for any change existed.
But the Democrats In Chicago thought
differently. They denounced as fraudulent,
unconstitutional. and larcenous tho sys-
tenn under which the people were taxed.
They promised a sweeping change and be-

lively pledged themselves to do away with.
II successful at the ensuing election.
The Democracy was successful. beyond
even the expectations OF many OF Its lead
ers. Thousands OF Populists. Labor men.
and others swelled its victorious ranks In
November. Had the Republicans succeeded.
the Populist and Labor propaganda would
probably have continued and gained greater
force. But the success OF the Democracy
nut an end to their agitation, for. out
side OF small group OF theorists, the Popu-
lists and Labor men accept the general
verdict Of the country. that relief from in
dustrial depression will come when the
Democracy sweeps away the Republican
system upon which the responsibility
is charged. A special session OF the
Democratic Congress Is about to be
called for this purpose. IN September;
and until it has acted. Populist and Labor
conventions will doubtless be poorly at
tended. and scant attention will be paid to
the deliberations Of those who fail to under
stand that the Democracy has. by popular
mandate. assumed the task Of improving
the condition Of the people. and fastening
the burdens which press upon them. Relief
is to be secured by doing away with every
vestige Of unconstitutional protection. and
substituting for 1t a revenue tariff without
discrimination in favor Of American prod
ucts or American labor.
