THE CHRISTIAN FAMILY.

Bishop McGolricks Instructive Sermon at
the Church of the Immaculate
Conception.
Last Sunday evening Bishop McGol-
rick, Of Duluth, delivered an instructive
sermon OF an hours duration at the
Church Of the Immaculate Conception.
His subject was "The Christian Family"
The sacred edifce was filled to it's ut
most capacity with the Bishops old par
ishioners who listened in rapt attention
to every word of their former pastor.
He prefaced his sermon with detailing
the lines Of progress which had been
made within the last few years in the
care of the poor and afflicted, referring
particularly to the improved condition OF
the predetermined. He spoke III compli.

urged Catholics to participate in the
labors and deliberations of these philan.
thropic bodies, and paid tiatterlng COM
pliment to the christian men and women
engaged in the alienation of human mis-
cry and suffering. Coming to his theme,
1.-THE Christian Family" he said in part:
The child 10, among all beings, the most
helpless creature, hopelessly dependent
for subsistence upon the care Of others.
Natural instinct was not q sufficient in.
Auence to secure universally to the help
less infant the care which it absolutely
needs. He referred to China. India and
other Pagan countries as. an illustration
of this claim; there must be superadded
the influence Of an enlightened christian
love that can decide man to love and
reverence his offspring. That spirit OF
love had been universalized by the grace
and example OF the holy family Of Ma
areth JOSEPH, Mary and the child Jesus.
It breathed the names Of the ages Of
faith, fostered and developed by the
blessings OF that church which would
sacrifice 3 kingdom to preserve and per-
petuate the divine principles Of the ca
credness and eanctity Of the christian
marriage. 1.

That is What Father Cleary Calls the IN.
strumeut of Loquacity.
Last Sunday evening at Labor Temple
Rev. j. M. Cleary took for his topic, ''Ihe
Tongue a Dangerous Weapon" There
was large and appreciative audience az
usual who found the subject both inter
esting and instructive. Among other
things Father Oleary said.
According to the ancient law of the
Jews blasphemy was punished with
death; the blasphemer was stoned to
death before all the people, to excite hor
ror in the minds Of all for such revolt
ing abuse Of Gods great gift to his chill
dren.
Cultured speech is always an unmis-
taxable evidence Of enlightened civiliza.
ton. Rude and barbarous tribes have q
rude and harshly sounding speech, using
coarse and cultural tones, unwelcome to
the car of refinement. Their words, too,
but express the rude and empty thoughts
that crowd their untutored minds. So,
cultivated nations, in soft, sweet sound
ing and musical notes express their sub
lime and noble thoughts in cultured
speech.
We Americans have much to be
l. $0ur IN
consequence of the general prevalence of
profane and foul speech among US. Can
dor compele US to admit that as nation
we are unrivalled in the world today for
irreverent, profane and filthy habits of
speech. Nothing is too sacred for our
irreverent sheer and nothing too sublime
for our profane or ecurrilous scott. Gods
adorable name is dishonored and treated
with indignity by many of our people as
never was that sacred name profaned by
any civilized nation. ''Out of the abund-
ance of the heart the mouth speaketh."
We have our large and disgraceful list of
young men, and, alas, old men also, who
act habitually as if they felt sense of
cleverness and proud independence in
disrespectfully using that sacred name
cat which every knee should bow in
heaven, on earth and in hell" There is
no other name under heaven given to
men, whereby they must be saved. Many
doubtless profane Gods name thought
lessly from force of bad habits and with
out adverting to the insult they offer to
God. But bad habits are poor excuse
for sinful conduct. Man is responsible
for his habits and for the conduct they |
produce. No Christian man should per-
NIT the freedom of his soul to be fettered |
by the bonds OF the devil.
While there lis some palliatlon of the
offense against God committed by rude
and thoughtless men whose environment
often leads them to the use of language
they deplore in their moments Of refec.
ton, what must we think of protested
minister of the gospel who profaned the
sacred calling Of teacher of religion on
recent Sunday in this city from the
pulpit of Unitarian church by claiming
that it dishonors or belittles God to
praise His glorious name? This irrever-
emit agnostic unblushingly claims that
the numerous references found in the
Bible to the praise of Gods name are
spurious interpretations. To low state
has the pulpit fallen when from il the
people are taught that to honor our
Heavenly Fathers name is weakness.

also reminded the colored men present Of
the prosecutions of the black people of the

MIR. SPRUANCB'S SPEECH.
Maine an Evidence of the Coming
Storm of Disappr0val.

William c. Spruance began his address
by saying that he had been carefully not
ing public opinion to ascertain its drift in
reference to the coming congressional
election. He had travelled through the
Western states; had talked with great
many people and had read the local news
papers In his travels and had made up his
opinion from those sources of nforma-
ton. He did not claim to be a prophet
nor the son of prophet. but he was going
to hazard an opinion about the election
He believed that long about the 9Th of
November there would be a great Repub-
lican cyclone.
AS evidence OF the coming storm he had
heard some thunder from Maine. Storm
signals are visible in all the states. In
some of the Western states the Demo-
cratic party had practically gone out Of
business. In these states the fight is be-
tween Republicans and Populists and the
Democrats there will vote the Republican
ticket without ninehng rather than allow
their states to be controlled by Populsts,
who are no better than anarchists. Every
branch of those revolutionary organiza-
tions has been the product of and Just
what Democratic Congress made them
If there ever assembled in the National
House of Representatives a Congress
which was so debauehed as the last one he
had no knowledge of it. When it adjourned
it was like the passing OF great night
mare, and the people threw up their
hands and thanked God that 1t was gone.
The Democratic party has gone all to
pieces and there is no branch or part of
it that can claim to be an exponent of all
its principles. Some pretend to be protec-
tionlsts. some are for free silver and all
of them are for free trade-there is moth
ing left that is Democratic but the name

Gray said the reason that they passed such
a bill as they have now was because they
had but one Of majority in the Senate,
and when they increased that majority in
the Senate they were going to make that
tariff conform to the policy adopted in
Chicago in 1892. That was the announce
ment. He said they had been dragging
through sand, but they expected to strike
hard ground and trotting road very
soon.

cratic Party,

My fellow-citiZens: Once again you are
called upon to cast your ballots for that
man, or those men of that party which
you believe will bring the greatest happi-
ness, the greatest peace and the greatest
prosperity to your state. This should not
be a campaign in which prejudice should
appeal to you; this should not be a cam
paign wherein men should try to obtain
your votes by appeals to your passions
but IL there ever was a campaign in the
history of this state where it should ap-
peal to you ALL from what has been in the
last two years under Democratic rule,
Democratic President a Democratic House
of Representatives and a Democratic Sem
ate. this should be the one.
Grover Cleveland was elected President
in 1892, and the great State of New York
gave Grover Cleveland As 900 majority.
One year ago, In November, 1893, that
great State of New York changed that
$4,000 Democratic majority and elected
secretary of state Republican, by over
$4,000 majority. (Great applause)
In the great State of Ohio in 1892 that
state went Republican by fraction over
1000 votes, and yet in 1893, William Nc
Kinley (great appiause) received 81, 600
majority. Great applause)
Think of it, men, think of it. A change
of over $4,000 votes in one year under ma
tional Democratic rule. tAppause)
In the State of Massachusetts, though
my Democratic friends in 1892 elected a
Democratic governor, yet, in 1898, one year
ago, she threw that Democrat over and
elected a Republican governor by over
5000 majority. (Applause)
Taking 1t in Vermont: The Republican
majority in 1892 was less than $4,000; yet,
within two months that state gave Re-
publican majority of $4,000. tApplause.)
And in Maine (great applause) where in
1892 the Republican majority was but
$4,000; yet, within eight weeks the Repub-
liean majority was $1,000.
What are you to do with these figures?
Voice; Make them bigger Laughter and

What about Pennsylyania2') Pennsylva-
mia? Why some one said they won't get
done counting the Republican majority
until after Christmas. Great applause and

These are the times you are living under.
Why, gentlemen, before Grover Clereland
