IT is refreshing to find such an
ably edited and influential Catholic
journal as The american Citizen,
of St. Paul, staunch defender Of
the public schools. The most
zeolous friends of the public
schools will applaud these senti-
ments expressed by the Catholic
Citizen:
4 If Episcopalians or Catholics or any
other denomination want parochial
schools they can have them, but they
must not expect that the school fund
will be divided either formally or vir-
tually for the support of such private
institutions. The only solution of the
school problem which has any fnality
to it is to let all be perfectly free to
embrace the public school system.
Children, whether. Catholic or Protest.
ant, who attend the public schools,
should not be Disseminated against
even in a remote way by their pastors
If clergymen be not satisfied with the
amount of religion which such chill
Edren receive at home and in the Sunday
school, they can easily devise means O.
bringing more religious culture within
the reach of these little ones.

LAST winter when the bill for
new capitol was being discussed in
the legislature, members from the
rural districts who had the temerity
to oppose the measure were taunt-
ingly informed by the city mem
bers that St. Paul and Minneapolis
paid more than half the entire
State taxes. The St. Paul Trade
Journal recognizes the fact, that
the growth and prosperity of the
cities depends upon the growth
and prosperity of the
country tributary thereto, as wit
ness the following:
History is repeating itself in this
exodus from the city to the country.
When the hard times of 1877 overlook
the cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis
and the whole country, for that mat
ter-these centers of trade had got
ahead of the surrounding country.
Then began the settlement of the agri-
cultural districts, the tide of prosperity
reaching high-water mark in 1882.
Then St. Paul and Minneapolis began
to grow, and this growth was par
ticularly rapid for the next five or six
years. The cities have probably out
grown the tributary country again.
The sudden advent of hard times
promises now again to be the potential
force in driving men out of the cities
into the country and. with the devel'
opment of the country will in time
come greater prosperity to the cities

On one occasion his men raided an es-
adjustment in which there were thirty

tried the case with unusual celebrity,
and the moment the testimony for the

EXERCISE CAUTION.
The pirates of the far East have
learned wisdom by experience. They
no longer cruise the wide seas, attGc X
ing whatever craft may come along.
There are too many gun boats patrolling
the coast, too many rife guns and too
| many ysrdarms. Law and order In the
past eighty years have shot, hanged,
drowned, blown up or burned at least
one hundred Thousand followers OF the
! 'black flag" The survivors are pain
fully aware Of the fact, as is also tie
younger generation, which has filed
the vacancies made by death. To-day
their work is done upon smaller, but a
far shrewder and safer basis.
They keep spies at various places in
| their neighborhood, who report TO head
quarters whenever some junk is about
to leave that has rich cargo or carries
a large amount of money. Along with
this goes the information Of who com
mands the boat, how large a crew It
carries, and how IL is armed.
The pirates then plan to intercept the
craft in some river or arm OF the sea, or
else in some shoal water near the coast,
where there is no chance Of meeting q
gunboat and where, after the robbery,
they will have a safe means OF escape.
Their calculations are carefully made,
but come out right only once in four or
FIVE times. The reason Of the failures
are various. IL may be that foreign
or Chinese gunbOat suddenly appears
upon the scene. 1t may be that the
junk they are after goes past their rem
devious with a European steamer or
river launch, or mayhap that the pros
pectivs victim is delayed by adverse
winds and tides. aud 80 does not appear
at the time and place figured upon.

Below Canton, on the banks of the
Pearl and the West rivers, is district
dotted with villages, whose citizens are
likewise fishermen and 6Oatmen. They
bear the same relation to Canton that
the Tongan men do to Annoy. They are
similarly strong, brave and indomitable.
Strange to say, both types are religious
and superstitiOus to the last degree.
They keep idols in their own homes, on
their boats and even in their fields.
They have their own temples. where
thew pay reverence TO the River Coo,
the Spirit Of the Waters, the God OF
War and the other deities in their pan

hists, they believe nevertheless In the
TRANSPORTATION Of souls.
