On calling The Tribune to task for saying that
Americans have nothing but good Will for the
Roman Catholic Church, so long as IL conlhes
itself to its spiritual duties. Father Young IL
hyrercritical. Roman Catholic journals them-
selves frequently make use OF similar phrase
oogy as for instance, when they urge upon
Catholics in this country the duty OF trying 10
change or modify American public opinion, or
vhen tLev say that certain American insttu-
lions are beginning to be more receptive to
Catholic ideas. If The Tribune insuIted Ameri-
can Catholics by implying that the ruling IDEAS
which dominate American life and institutions
are non-CathOlic. then Catholic journals ana
writers are constantly insulting their brethren.
For they make the same assumption. More
over Father Young overstates the number Of
Catholics in this country who are old enough
to have an opinion on the question of schools.
There are not 10000 900 Of such Catholics. He
also ignores the fact that many adult Catholics
are either opposed To the maintenance OF paro-
chial schools, or are at least opposed to the APP
preparation Of public money for such schools
His army of 100000 Catholics clamoring for
religious schools in place OF secular schools is
Pigment of his imagination Father Young $
point that the Protestant sects do not believe
their sectarian teachings TO be in conflict with
American institutions is not pertinent, because
no Protestant sect wishes to have its peculiar
teachings made a part Of the public school cur
riculum. 1t is true THAT many OF them think
that instruction in the fundamental principles
Of ethics involving possibly a recognition OK
Supreme Being would be a good thing FOR the
public schools. But until all the people can
come to an agreement on this question they
would rather have the schools remain purely
secular than TO admit the destructive prlncl-
ple OF sectarian teaching. They do not believe
that It is the business of the State to assist any
religious denomination in the teaching of its Pc
culiar tenets Nor will they be frightened by
belne called Nullifdians. They would consider
q NullIadian. even as Father Young defines the
word much less of n menace to the Nation than
nullifier of the principles that undcrlie the
public school system.-Ed)

treatment. The car is not unmer-
ciful. Imperial interests compel him
to take strong measures. His hostility
toward Taras is tempered with pro-
found respect for a political adversary
Of high attachments and unimpeachable
honesty. In Russia Taras will be
treated with the utmost consideration
and kindness. He will be allowed TO
live where he likes, and the only re-
strlction put upon his liberty will be
with regard to the propagation OF revo-
l~utionary ideas, and this restriction will
be but temporary. The country is ripe
for revolution, and In a short time the
present government will be overthrow

A NEW DEVELoPMENT.

He shut the street door softly when
he went out, and / fell into a reverie,
{ sitting on the stool by the side OF Taras.

which Taras lay, and my brow was

murmured. approaching the couch In
anxiety. Then, after regarding him
for q ome in silence, her stout sides
began to shake, and she added In a tone
OF cheerful satisfaction: THANK

eyes to believe IL. for l never saw him
like this before; but it's odd all the

catching sight Of my scared and anxious
face, her merriment was suddenly
changed to earnest sollcitude.

the policeman, and coming to the door
Of the broEham he asked II l had any
charge TO make against kavanagh.
AT the same moment KaVanagh ap-
peared at the other window, and speak
ing rapidly IN French said:
'sBa careful, as you value your
friends life. I warn you II you make
any charge against me, or even mention

and that is to get Taras home safely to
