A BURNING QUESTION IN CANADA

The great potlcoreglous question In Can
ada at the present time Is the proposed inquiry
into the condition Of the powerful and wealthy
Seminary Of St. Sulpicc In Montreal. Ia
Patrle" has become the mouthpiccc Of large
number of people In the Province of Quebec,
who believe that the Seminary is no, making n
good use OF its great income, and who declare
that, in view OF the oncrous tax rate IN the
Province, its property should hereafter be made
to bear its share Of taxation Hitherto 1t has
been exempted from taxation Oh the plea that
It's income was devoted to religious and char
table purposes. But its critics declare that
there Is no evidence to show that such Is the
case, and that, I'm fact for n long time II has
made no public statement OF its resources or the
disposition made OF its income. They take the
same ground with those who say that Trinity
Parish In this city should not have its property
exempted from taxation, even though II does
devote its income to religious objects. The
Quebec Liberals want TO have an invcsti
CATION of the Seminary's wealth and bust
ness methods, therefore, and the ques
ton thus raised Is at once religious and po-
litlcal, 1t Is becoming the relgning sensation Of
the hour. 1t Is one Of the many interesting
evidences OF the fact that even in Quebec the
Church no longer holds the position Of unques-
toned leadership This agitation hns been
started, not by outsiders, but by men who are
themselves French Canadians and Catholics.
The history OF the Seminary Is interesting,
and IS intimately bound up with the history of
Canada. Originally the entire Island of Mon
treal was granted to Jean de Lauson, who in
tended to plant on it n French colony. But be-
fore he did anything, another Frenchman
named De In Dauversere assured him that he,
Dauvcrsiere had seen In vision Jesus. Mary
and Joseph, who commissioned him to establish
a religious community on the territory. Lauson,
who had refused to sell the land at any price.
promptly obeyed this Divine command. and
transferred the patent to Dauversicrc. who
transferred 1t to the Sulpicians Of Paris. When
the colony passed over to England the Mon
treal SulpIcians cut themselves loose from the
parent house. and took the oath OF allegiance
to the British Crown They hoped In this WY
to make their title TO the property good; but II
was still called In question until 1910, when. In
return for services rendered In the revolt
special act was passed confirming their title.
Even that. however. did not relieve the Sui
picians from all their troubles For as they
have always been GallIcan In their sympathics
they have been frequently opposed and crIti
clsed by the Ultramontane party. But In spite
Of all opposition, the institution has grown
enormously In influence and wealth, until now

A bold attempt to wreck and rob an express
train on the Lake Shore Railroad was folled on
Saturday night. The plan adopted by the rob-
bers was a novel one. They boarded a fast
freight running ahead Of the express and tried
to dctach a number Of cars, with the expecta'
ton that the express would run into them and
come to grief Their plan was discovered by
the train hands, and a desperate battle was
carried on for several miles On reaching Go
shen Ind. the robbers managed to escape, but
two of them We're afterward captured. The
company has decided to offer reward of $4,000
for the arrest and conviction Of the gang. The
robbers are supposed to be tramps; If so, it
will confirm Mr. Pinkerton's theory that train
robberies will be unusually frequent this win
ter because so many men ore out Of work.

The revelations Just made in reference to
municipal affairs in Toledo are of nature to
make Tammany Hall envous. II appears that
an investigation has been secretly carried on
for several months by the Board or REVISION
which shows that the most extravagant methods
and reckless practices have prevailed in each
department Of the city and in the purchase OF
supplies. One official. 1t appears. has been de-
posting city money in a bank on his own per-
sonal account. when It should have been drawing
interest for the city; another has been drawing
his salary whenever he felt like 1t. without
troubling himself about warrants Or vouchers,
and many other Irregularities have leen brought
TO light 1t Is estimated that the dty has lost
hundreds Of thousands Of dollars Ia this way.

been in the hospital only two days when

was that DR.. Biggs, chief inspector of pa
