"RELIGION FROM ROME"
-But Politics Trsm ourssivss"-Patriotie
Declaration Of Father MAlsss.

Denver, Col. Oct. 2i.-Fhther Malone.
editor OF the Colorado Catholic, lee
tured today at the Tabor Grand opera
house. A large audience was In attend
ance. Before commencing his lecture,
Father Malone received the following
note from some one In the audience:
Dare you, as a Catholic priest. public
ly, in your lecture. say Roman Catho-
lies do not owe fealty to a foreign po-
tentate? Also, dare you say that the
Catholic church is not opposed to the
public schools7' In reply Father Ma
lone said: Let US see. now, what
foundation there Ia for this charge that
we are disloyal 20 the civil institutions
OF the country. The charge that we are
enemies TO the public school system Is
delusion and n snare. The charge
that we owe allegiance 10 a foreign po-
tentate Is equally false.
"These charges serve an unholy pur-
pose, and give 20 the fanatic an imog.
mary justification for violating the con-
Btitution In regard 70 portion OF the
citizens. To those who SO charge. this
Is my answer: Not only are Catholics
not enemies OF our public school sys-
TEN, but we hold, Notwithstanding the
persistent opinions of isolate lndivldU-
ais. that the public school system must
and shall be maintained. Not alone
that, but should the day ever come,
which God avert, when the schol sys-
TEN of America would be attacked,
Catholics will be the first TO the rescue.
ITO the charge so current nowadays
that we owe allegiance to a foreign
power, this is my answer: In spiritual
matters, and matters OF faith and NOR
ais. we give allegiance TO our church,
but in civil affairs we neither owe nor
do we give allegiance TO anything out
side the constitution Of the United
States. nor 90 any one not duly elect
ed officer of this government. Should a
condition arise-which In absurd
assumption-when the pope of Rome
should issue an edict in conflict with
the constitution OF the United States,
we would refuse to obey the pope and
we would uphold the constitution. In
the words OF O'Connell. we take our re-
ligion from Rome, but our politics from
ourselves.

Washington, Oct 2i.-According to
Commodore Chadwick, chief OF the
bureau OF naval equipment. coal bills
of the navy are steadily increasing.
owing 10 the growing consumption OF
coal by modern war vessels. The an
nual report OF the bureau shows that
there Will be deficiency OF $4,000 In
the appropriation for equipment, ow-
ing TO the fact that sioi,291 more was
expended for coal In the past year
than In the year previous. The report
shows that during the year great inn
provement has been made in the night
Signals. A new boat compass has
been adopted and aluminium has been
successfully substituted for bronze In
binnacle fittings. Under the head OF
naval observatory, attention is called
to the fact that unless the corps OF pro-
fessors of mathematics is reorganlzed,
the observatory will, in the near fu-
ture. have but one astronomer avail
able for duty. the other retiring In the
course Of few years.
The postoffice museum will be for
mally thrown open to the public on
Monday. The museum includes all that
was in the postoffice exhibit at the
Worlds fair. and some additional fea-
lures. The large postal car. "Grover
Cleveland" Is not there. but there Is a
complete model of this postoffice on

room In the court Of the postoffice
building.
Within the two last days heavy Or
ders from Japan have been placed In
New York for canvas duck suitable for
army tents and for leather and manu-
featured boots suitable for military use
These orders are among the first show
ing an increased demand for military
and domestic goods. such as usually fol-
lows foreign war. Reports from the
treasury department show that export
trade TO China and japan had not been
stimulated prior 10 Sept. last. Up to
that time exports OF arms, powder, etc.
TO China had been less than 81 900 In
the twelve months preceding; to Japan.
$50.
A telegram was received at the Jap
anese legation stating that on the 18th
inst, upon the assembling of the diet
at Hiroshima. Count Ito, the prime
minister OF Japan, made an elaborate
speech in the house OF lords, In which
he explained at length the cause OF the
war between japan and China. Dur
ing the course OF his speech he read
the correspondence which had passed
between the japanese and Chinese gov
ernmsnts before diplomatic negotia-
tions were suspended and war declared.
The speech made n deep impression on
the house. The feeling OF the diet
seems 10 be unanimous In favor of the
course pursued by the government. The
universal expression is that the war
must be vigorously pursued until II Is
brought 10 triumphant conclusion.
The diet has manifested great willing
ness to grant everything asked by the
government. The house. on the goth
inst. passed by unanimous vote bills
introduced by the government relating
TO war expenditures. which involved a
total of sl5o,000.000.

1t has been customary for the dlers Of

to their sympathy with the suffer, rs from
eny great calamity that has taken place In
this country, and the government of the
United STATES has reciprocated when dis
tress has afflicted a foreign nation or COM
Llunity, but it was left for the Sultan of
Turkey to do the eminently proper and prac-
deal thing. When the horrible details of
the forest fires in Wisconsin and Minnesota
we're received at COnstantinople they were
carefully perused by the sultan, and it is
now announced that he has subscribed from
his own purse considerable sum of money
to be applied to the relief of impoverished
survivors of those disastrous CONGREGATIONS
There was no actual necessity for any
financial contribution-Jhe states themselves

the ruler of great nation moves in the
right direction. The example is one to
which the attention of wealthy Americans
Is respectfully directed.
