The legislative bodies are now

TIL CATHOLIC CHURCH.

There seems TO be some disturbing
element in The Catholic church in
America. II is evidently in something
of ferment, and the fact Is so unusual
that IL attracts wide attention.
Ii is very unusual for the public TO
know very much about what goes ON in
side the Catholic church, espec tally if
there was any trouble between high
dignitaries. Now. however, il is very
evident that there is very bitter
church war in progress, and that
directly or indirectly the parties con.
cerned intend TO appeal TO the public
Tor sympathy and support.
While II Is impossible for the average
reader of newspapers 10 Judge of the
ecclesiastical merits Of the points in

confidence by the church magnates con.

The Republicans of New York are be-
coming somewhat hysterical because of
the action of Speaker Sulzer in appoint
ing eight Democrats and three Republi.
cans on his legislative committees. The
hysteria is not becoming. 1t has been
evident from the day of the election
When our New York Republican broth
ers so signally failed to do their duty by
their principles.
1t makes little difference to the Demo
cratic machine that only $4,000 less
votes were cast for the minority. The
fact still remains that the Democrats
carried the election and that they in
tend TO use their success to its fullest
extent The machine cares nothing for
a minority. IL represents the majority,
and the majority chooses to be despotic.
The Republicans knew that it would be
despotic.
They knew before election that not
only had they nothing 10 hope from
Tammany. but that they had everything
to fear. The aim Of tbs Democrats was
Office and the fat that goes with it.
They used no efforts TO disguise their
intention, and the Republicans have no
one TO blame but themselves. Democ-
racy, as il is practiced in New York, is
that of party rule only.
1t is not the rule of the people, in the
true sense of the word. and no one
should know it better than the Repub-
licans of New York. Experience of
years should have taught them that this
hysterical cry about the relative repre-
sentation OF the two parties on commit
tees of the legislature accomplishes
nothing. What they need to learn is to
come out and vote. Regrets would
then be unnecessary.

vIvE LA REPUBLICi

France is not yet out of the shadow of
an impending revolution.
A day may bring forth the dissolution
of the republic and reign of terror,
probably brief, but no less deplorable.
Anti-Semitism is now reaping the full
reward of its violent and untimely cru
sade. To eradicate what it claims to
be social evil, would it disestablish the
republic?
The remedy is too heroic for sober
craftsmanship, too experimental for
practical requirements No definite
substitute has yet been offered for the
government of President Carnot, and
while occasions raise heroes and great
men no man sufficiently qualified and
reliable has yet appeared in the breach
being rapidly created in our sister re-
public.
Perhaps the French republic is affiict-
ed with a desperate disease requiring
the surgeons knife of popular upheaval
and consequent publication. If so, then
the remedy is that which has been re-
sorted to in this country on such occa-
sions, the ballot, by which American
boodlers have been driven from office
and which can be made equally avail
able and effective in the approaching
French elections.
Thus far there is satisfaction i'm see-
ing the great mass Of the French peo-
pie unaffected by the appeals of Bou-
langists, royalists, imperialists and
other demagogues. 1t betrays that con-
fidence in the republic which alone can
give it stability in the present crisis
and permanence in the future.
While the head of France rs repre-
sented by her statesmen may be demor-
allied, and even compromised by the
scandal scarce yet fully
revealed, the great national heart, those
who create the rulers of republic, still
beats true to the Marseillaise, and will
cause the republic to issue from the re-
torts and crucibles of its present tribu-
lations refined and purified.
Long live the republic!

MURPHY's MEETINGS

The gospel temperance meetings now
being held in this city by Francis MUIR
ply are evidences of the return to the
old methods of dealing with the rum
| habit.
That the meetings are successful
needs no further proof than personal
attendance, and the witnessing of
one, two and three hundred sign the
pledge every night.
1t is significant that after the failure
of statutory prohibition we should find
the better forces in society still seeking
to find remedy for the evils which ex.
ist in the ungoverned appetite of so
many.
Prohibition, by making the sale of
liquor illegal, acts in many cases rather
as an incentive than as check TO the
drunkard. IL does not benefit him, be-
cause the habit still exists and the de-
sire to satisfy it is still active.
II is significant that society having so
signally failed in overcoming intemper-
ance, private zeal, inspired by religious
feeling, should again appear to do battle
with this curse
Francis Murphy's plan of overcoming
intemperance- is regarded by many as
the right and only true one. 1t appeals
TO the man. If man wants TO wrong
himself statutes will not stop him. But
take away the "want" and the man will
cease TO wrong himself.
Mr.. Murphy is a born leader Of men,
sympathetic and kindly in character. ap-
pealing to men through the facts of his
experience, seeking mems hearts and
wills by the double power of reason and
love, urging them to stand firm by their
own will and the aid of God, he strikes
straight at the root of the evil and offers
remedies which are within the ability of
every man to accept.
Such work should receive the hearty
support of the community. II cannot
possibly do any harm, and must do
good,

The meeting Of the Providence
Democracy last night was noticeable
for three things
The evidence that it gave Of the COM
plete supremacy of Mr.. McNally in the
Democratic party, the great quantity Of
''exes" who were present, and the
prominent Democrats who were not
present.
Mr.. McNally is about the ablest
Democrat in the city who manifests anv
disposition to take prominent part in
the management Of the party's affairs.
but IL is undoubtedly fact that his
prominence has split the party. There

bcens and hopes-to-be, the former being

dent by the long list Of gentlemen who
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1893-01-10

cerned involves departure from prece-
dent that suggests change Of consider
able gravity.
The Catholic church has ever been un.
American in its methods and govern
ment. That is to say, it has been secre-
tive and has taken great pains to con-
ceal processes and only allow results to
show This spirit was justifiable in the
golden age of the church, and may be
Justifiable in some countries now. II
certainly is neither justifable nor wise
In America.
The fundamental beliefs Of the sCath-
olic church are very little understood
in this country. Its own people do not
generally grasp their full significance,
and among Protestants the ignorance is
almost universal.
The methods of the Catholic church
have brought upon it the condemnation
and won for it the distrust of millions
OF earnest people. This sentiment may
be sentiment, but it is justifiable
sentiment.
, There is much in the Catholic religion
that appeals to thoughtful people, and
there is much in the Catholic methods
that repels the same people. If the
present rather exaggerated episode leads
fairly to the conclusion that the methods
and processes of the church are 10 be
more open and therefore subject to
modification, it may prove that the in
ference that there is cause for Protestant
anxiety is not altogether ill-founded.

have held Office. but who now write
eek" before their names.
The Democratic party in Rhode Island
has become essentially party with but
one object. TO get Office. That is its
sole object, as has been proved to the
public by the whole course of the lead
ers, and as those leaders have not
scrupled to openly announce from time
10 time.
In other parts of the country the
Democratic party has some principle.
or at least pretense of principle. Here
it has nothing whatever, except a vio-
lent hankering for the spoils.
This was made evident by the meet
ing last night, and is made evident
anew whenever there is an opportunity
to reach the public.
II people who believe politics ought to
be reasonably clean, and that political
parties ought TO have an object above
their ability to scramble for office,
would carefully read the proceedings of
the Democracy whenever it assemblies
for convivial purposes they would dis
cover that they could rapidly build up
a justification for repudiating it.
