After wearying the public ear as that
Iong-suffering organ is not often wearied,
the Senate of the United States has come
to an agreement within itself to take a vote
upon the House bill which Internationally
repeats the silver purchase act of 1890; and
that means that the day of unconditional
repeal Is near at hand. Any other conclu-
sion Of the great struggle would have been
most unsatisfactory to the great bulk of
the American people for, rightfuly or
wrongfully, the people had become con-
WINGED that the so-called Sherman law was
directly and largely responsible for the dis
turbed financial conditions which have caus-
ed the too-prevalent distress that now
aflicts the Industries of the land. The
struggle in the Senate will not soon be for
gotten; it gave the public an opportunity to
measure some of its idols. In It few self
made statesmen achieved conspicuous no
toriety and wrecked completely the Sena-
torial reputation for business ability. De-
bate however. has not yet closed and it is
probable that many amendments will be
offered for consideration; some of them
notably that framed by Senator Faulkner
being decidedly popular. but 1t seems GER
tain that all of them viii be rejected. The
one important thing developed In the strife
was the uselessness Of what are. by Sena-
torial courtesy. termed the rules Of the
Senate. In common with the great major
ity. The Star rejoices at the speedy coming
of repeal-Th. Star has never swerved from
advocating the measure-but this relief will
soon be succeeded by another season OF
Senatorial disturbance and public dissatis.
faction II the downfall of the silver-pur-
chase act of 1880 is not speedily followed
by the adoption Of such rules by the Senate
as will permit the unhampered transaction
Of public business after reasonable time fol
full and free debate has been allowed.

Attendance on ParOchial Schools Not oompul-
sorry.
Yesterday, for the first time in six
years, w. s. Bowen, Of West Chester,
Pa, occupied his old pew in 81. Ag-
ness Catholic Church. from which he
was excluded by the pastor, Rev. 5. B.
Spalding, because Mr.. Bowen insisted
upon sending his boy to the public
schools. The pew was restored to him
by the same rector, acting under in
structions which he last week received
from Monsignor Satolli, the papal dele
gate. The case is the first in this
country where the church has reversed
the decision Of a priest that all Catho-
lie children must attend the Catholic
parish school under pain Of the sacra-
ments being denied the parents who
refused to send their children to the
parish schools and Of vacating their
pews in the church. Monsignor Sa-
TOLLS instructions, as understood BY
those who have given the matter at
tention, are that Catholic parents, all
things being equal, should send their
children to the parish schools, proyid-
ing these schools were equal in point
of merit to the public schools, but nm
der no consideration were the parents
to be excluded from the sacraments Of
the church OF pews taken from them
| for refusing to do so.
