REV. FATHER LANDING, OF New OK
a priest who stood high in the Catholic
church and well known as an itimate
friend of James G. Blaine, has renoune-
ed Catholicism. In his letter with draw
ing from the church he writes thus:
"The decision l now take is the out
come of a long mental struggle and
much thought, and it is not without sor-
row have taken this step, for it is hard
to sever the relations of twenty one years
But l could not forever resist the voice
of my conscience. l had to obey it at
last, and the logical consequence of that
obedience is the step now take. Know
ing what 1 know, having seen what L
saw and heard what l heard in the Ro-
man Catholic church, can not any
longer force my mind into submission
to the vatican, nor can l any longer ad-
NIT the claim of the Roman Catholic
church and clergy to rule, not only in
religious questions, but also in purely
scientific, social and even political mat
tiers. The intolerance and duplicity
which almost from the day of my ordi-
nation to the priesthood l found are met
in the Roman Catholic church, have be-
come utterly unbearable to me. Having
also come to the conclusion that there is
only one High Priest, the God man Jesus
Christ, and one sacrifice, not to be re-
peated; and, in consequence, doubling
my position as priest, could not act
otherwise than do now. l know now
clearly that those who believe in Christ
as their Savior will be saved. L believe
in Him, resign myself unto His loving
care, and l feel sure He will not forsake
me-"
The puzzle is how any one can read
the history and study the doctrines OF
the Catholic church without coming to
the conclusion reached by Father Lam
bing.

Earning His Daily Bread.

When the cook opened the door to the
timid knock of the peripatetic without,
she found him meekly waiting.
"Good morning." he said, shave you
an old Sunday school book about the
house l could take?"
The cook was knocked plumb speech
less.
"a Sunday school book?" she gasped.
SIZES, MISS" he replied.
"What in the name of goodness do
you want with that?"
He stepped little nearer the door.
"You see miss it's this way" he said
in explanation; "when was little boy
and read the story of Jonah swallowing
the whale, 1 used to have some doubts
about it. Here lately, though, I've got
so holler myself that l kinder thought
I'd like to read it over again and see if
it wasn't good deal easier to believe"
"What dandy you are" exclaimed
the cook, looking him over carefully.
"Come in here by the fire and I'll fill
you up to the neck.

MINISTER BAYARD's CUCKOO.

New York Tribune.
Secretary Gresham falls back helpless
ly upon Minister Bayard in his official
account of the Bluefields episode. He
has no opinion of his own to offer, but
quotes Mr.. Bayard's expression of belief
that the landing of the British force was
merely designed to extend protection to
the residents of the town and to check
apprehended acts of violence. Lord
Kimberley is also represented as reafirm-
ing previous declarations made by the
British Government to the effect that no
protectorate over the Mosquito Indians,
in substance or form, is desired or in-
tended. That may satisfy a credulous
person like Secretary Gresham, who
while suspicious that great interna-
tional wrong is committed when Ameri-
can marines are landed in Hawaii, is
easily convinced that the presence of
British marines in Central America is
both innocent and proper. 1t will not,
however reassure those who know any
thing about the Mosquito Reservation
and the Clayton Bulwer treaty.
The facts may be briefly stated. Mic
aragua covets the Mosquito Reservation,
over which it exercises only nominal
sovereignty. 1t has its garrisons at Ra-
ma above Bluefelds and at Corn Island.
1t would occupy the entire Reservation,
and establish its customs line from
Greytown to Cape Gracias if the treaty
negotiated between Great Britain and
Nicaragua did not stand in the way.
Under that treaty Great Britain, while
disclaiming protectorate, established
one in substance if not in form. The
Mosquito Indians are guaranteed in that
convention home rule, which means
government by Jamaica negroes. When
Nicaraguan troops were recently landed
at Bluelield the Cleopatra's marines
were put on shore to enforce the home
rule guarantees which had once been
submitted to the arbitration of the EN-
peror of Austria. The Nicaraguan
troops were carried off to Greytown, and
the Reservation was left under the do
mination of Jamaica negroes, the force
of an election of new Mosquito chief
being enacted.
Lord Kimberley may make what dis
chalmers he pleases, and Secretary Gres-
ham may play the part of Mr.. Bayard's
cuckoo, if he chooses; but the fact re-
mains that the Cleopatra's marines in
tervened in the political affairs of Cen
tral America, and that Great Britain has
exercised by force of arms the right of
protecting the Mosquito Reservation.
That is in direct violation of the Clay
ton -Bulwer treaty. 1t offers substantial
ground for the abrogation of that treaty
by the United Statea Government

AN ILLUsTRATIoN-A well known
English diplomatist, while calling upon
Prince Bizmarck some time ago, asked
him how he munaged to rid himself of
that class of unfortunate visitors whom
he could not well refuse to see, put
whose room he found preferable to their
company.
"Oh." replied the Chancellor, 81 have
a very simple method. My wife knows
them pretty well, and when she sees
that they are with me she generally
contrives to come in and call me away
upon some pretext or other"
He had scarcely finished speaking.
when the Princess put her head in at
the door and said
lotto you must come and take your
medicine; You ought to have had it ten
minutes ago."
The diplomatist had not till then had
any idea that his room could be more
welcome than his company.

THE question of criminals has long
been discussed. What should be done
with them? Robert Ingersoll said that
they should be cut off from all human
intercourse and not allowd to marry
Certainly such course would be good
for society That prisons are not sue
cessful as means of reform is well shown
by Charles Dudley Warner in the cur
rent Harper's. Among other things, he
says:
"Let any one consider for a moment
the material of which our great prisons
are made up. In one aspect they are
~dens of insnbordination, of brutality, of
all evil tendencies. In another aspect
their inmates are human beings, sepa-
rated from the mass of mankind often
by narrow lines, and capable of being
trained into orderly and decent ways of
living. But they are generally so de-
graded, or so crooked and distorted, that
they can only be raised and Strengthened
by severe and persistent discipline.
There must be applied to them the rules
tnat make the athlete, that make the sol
dier, that make the trained scholar. And
this will not come about with perverted
beings who have little power of will by
voluntary effort. The discipline that
normal people apply to themselves they
will not apply. They must becompelled
into new habits, and this compalsion
implies the authority to use physical
force at times. The sentimentalists fail
to make this distinction, and cannot con-
ceive of any reform based upon the
physical power to enfore discipline
that is, the discipline that shall change
habits and character. For most crimi-
nails indefinite confinement where they
are subject to disciplinary good influ-
ences is the greatest mercy; definite SEN
tences for punishment and the petting
of the sentimentalists are the worst
cures"

Hot In Australia.

The weather in Australia during the
antipodean summer has been unusually
hot and oppressive. In Adelaide during
January the thermometer several times
registered over 100 degrees in the shade,
and one day it climbed to 107 in the
shade and 1853 in the sun. In Melbourne
the 100 notch has been reached more than
once, and the scorching north winds have
made the atmosphere exceedingly op-
pressive. The foregoing figures are from
weather observatory readings, and prob
ably do not represent by several degrees

BOYS, if you must come to the city to
get situation, or engage in business in
some country town. first be sure that
you are prepared to meet the RESPONSE
bilities. To successfully do this, you
must have a business education. The
old proverb that sit takEs a fool to
make money" does not hold good in
this advanced age, 1t reads the other
way now, "The fool and his money are
soon parted" The thing to do is to en-
ter commercial college and master
every detail. You can easily complete
the course in six months or less.

The price of every thing is coming
down and now is good time for the
Legislature to pass a two cent railroad
fare bill. Railroad men say that now
they do not average more than two cents
mile, so they can not object on the
grounds that it reduces their revenues
There would be more justice in carry
ing everybody at two cents than in car
rying some for one cent mile and
charging others three times as much.

CORSICAN CAVES Travellers and sci
entists are greatly interested in the re-
cent discovery of wonderful caves on
the island of Corsica. A miner who
undertook to explore them few weeks
ago found it impossible to do so. He
discovered various small caves, close to-
gether, which led to a mammoth cave
some distance from the original open
ings. The roof of the mammoth cave
was between so and 20 feet high Aft
er travelling underground for some time
he came upon an immense lake, which
made further progress impossible. Ac-
cording to his estimates, the lake is sit
uated under the mountain chain La
Revellatta, near Calva, and gets its wa
ter from the ocean. In support of his
theory small grotto was discovered on
Cape Revellatta, on level with the sea,
which is believed to be connected with
the caves. The length of the caves
along the coast is estimated at 40
miles. A society of savants has been
formed to explore the place thorough
ly. this summer.

MAKING AN ALPIIABET.-The Chero-
kee Indians are said to furnish the only
instance in modern times of nation in
venting an alphabet. This feat was
done by half bred Indian named Sc
quoyah, but better known as George
Guess. Until year or two before the
great idea occurred to him, he did not
understand a single letter. Poor, and
living apart from his tribe, when he
told the chiefs that he had made a book
they rebuked him for his vanity. He
was not disheartened, however, but
studied harder than ever. His neigh
bors considered him to be crazy, and
his wife thought SO too, for she destroy
ed his papers whenever she could At
first he tried to devise a character for
every word in the Cherokee tongue, but
gave up the attempt. Then he thought
over the number of sounds in the Ian
guage. These he found to be sixty
eight. For each he adopted character,
and the characters which form the al
pha6et, when combined, made up the
words.
Having reached this point, he called
in six of his neighbors and told them
that he could make book Again they
disbelieved him. To convince them, he
oade them each make speech, which
he wrote down as 1t was spoken. Then
he read out to each man his own speech
and they all confessed that he really
could make book. And SO in course
of time the Cherokees of the eastern
plains of the United States became a
reading people. Though the characters
in this alphabet are more numerous
than In the Roman Tor English) alpha
bet, Cherokee boy could learn TO read
by means of it in two months, while he
would have taken two years to do so by
the use of ordinary letters.
