( representative, 1.-THE single tax theories are
quietly and as matter of thought affecting
mems minds. They will come into practical
politics before long DR.. McGiynn's restora-
I ton was great triumph for the theories, for
/ the liberal element and crushing defeat to the
/ reactionary element of the Catholic clergy and
! iaymen of this country.
Archbishop COrrigan held that the single
| tax theories and doctrines had been con-
demned by the present and other pOpes: that
no one could hold them and remain Catholic.
/ The restoration of DIR. McGlynn has completely
oyerthrown and set aside the archbishop g
/ position and Cardinal Manning once said to me
| that the doctrines had never been and were
not condemned by the church.
Il consider Pope Leo one of the greatest men
| of modern times, and his restoration of DIR.
McGlynn is of worldwide significance and a
part of his policy to lberalize the church; that
Is, to bring 1t in harmony with all that is good;
to clear 1t from that adherence of reactionarv
ideas that have clustered around it. He has
affirmed that nothing in the single tax theory is
contrary to the teaching of the Catholic re-
lgion.
The pope has showed his great Iiberality BY
attitude toward France, but the McGlynn mat
ter Is the browning act. The liberal element
are In the ascendancy. His holiness again re-
affirmed this fact in his selection of Mgr.
Satolii, man after his own ideas and in SYM
pathy with them. The reactionists denied
Mgr. Satoli's power. 1t was followed at once
by his permanent establishment as the popes
representative. This was emphasized by the
appointment of Mgr. 0'Connell of st. Louis as
coadjutor bishop. which may be considered a
decisive settlement Of the question in this
country"
The worlds congress auxiliary of the world 8
! fair" said President Charles c. Bonney at the
| Ebbitt, will be one of its greatest features.
We ask the government to print and distribute
the proceedings of the several congresses which
will be held at Chicago during the exposition
season. The congresses will meet every day in
these buildings and some of the most valuable
and important papers will be read from emf
nent citizens of our own ard other countries
without cost.
The general object of these congresses is to
bring together from all countries OF the world
the leaders of progress IN all departments of
enlightened life for mutual acquaintance and
the establishment of fraternal relations. to sum
up human progress in every department. to
stare the living questiosas of the day which still
| difficulties may be removed and further progress
made. 1t il expected that these congresses will
present the maturest thought of the world on
all OF the great problems OF the age. The papers
read will constitute the noblest possible memo
| rial OF the exposition. Among the general de-
partments are art. education. labor, literature
religion, woman's progress and a score of other

II have discussed with a number OF mem
bers. said Congressman-elect Wright of North
Adams, Mass, "the possibilities of an extra
session and am inclined to the opinion that
one will not be called. The conservative demo-
Gratis are against it, though some seem to feel
that the party cannot too quickly begin the
work OF redeeming its pledges The tariff will
have to be considered and some of the mem
bers base their objections on the grounds that
the party will be ill-prepared to consider this
question SO early in the life OF the administra-
ton.
About IS per cent of the operatives of the
mills at my town are French Canadians. They

The democrats in the House," said Con-
gresham Morse Of Massachusetts, ''are getting
a taste of their own medicine. and it's bitter
stuff. Under the present rules it is the will of
the minority and not the majority that pre-
walls. As result, one man can flibuster and
block the wheels of legislation for DAYS at a
time, as has been witnessed several times very
recently"
The sergeant-at-arms can go to a member 9
house. take him up to the House and when all
are there lock the DOORS But it's the case of
the horse and the water. and when the men,
bers are there they can't be compelled to vote
and can't be counted under the Reed rul-
ings."

That kid didn't know his business, and the
man who sent him happened not to be a beat, :"
said the clerk. "rll tell you how it is done,
and we are frequently victimized A man will
come IN for breakfast, leave his overcoat or
hand safchsl In the coat room and say that he
will decide during the day whether he will take
room. He will then take lunch and dinner.
After dinner he will send boy with his
baggage check to the coat room. He is
probably waiting on an adjacent corner.
The boy IN the coat room knows nothing of the
guest, and delivers the baggage upon re-
ceipt of the check. The bov walks out unno-
tced and the hotel loses the meals Some
times the beat will take only one meal. but in
any case he is Just much ahead IL the boy
stops at the Office, as did this little chap. we
detect tho game and retain the check until the
owner OF the articles sends around the amount
OF his bill This is game OF petty hotel
swindiing that is frequently worked because
the chances OF detection are very slight"

trade.
Times have been good in my city and
despite the great amount Of building done in
different years in the past more buildings will
go up this year than ever before. This shows
how the northwest is developing. for the growth
of tue country is but little behind that OF the
