A BOLD scheme for obtaining mechan-
ical power for industrial purposes has
lately attracted attention in England
1t contemplates the construction Of a
dam fifteen miles long from the north
eastern coast of Ireland across North
Channel to the extremity of Cantire,
Scotland, and putting in several gates
and water-wheels, to be worked by the
tide. Owing to the greater depth of the
Irish sea and to the freer course afforded
west and north of Ireland, the tide coues
up from the South Atlantic by that
route, and flows southwark through the
passage just mentioned long before it can
get up there on.the east side of the Green
Isle. Moreover, the gulf stream, or
rather the drift from it, bathes the north
ern part of Great Britain more freely
than the southern, and portion thereof
is diverted southwark by the Scottish
coast, so as to make continuous cur
rent, it is said, flowing down. tho north
channel. Here is great deal Of power
going to waste, and the New York Tri-
bune thinks it is not senseless proceed
ing to consider the practicability of util-
ling it somehow. American enterprise
at Niagara has set the whole world think
ing of such ma ters. The depth of water
is 474 feet in midcnannel; but most Of
the way it is much less than this. The
proposed "isthmus" for that is what the
engineers call it-would be about three
hundred feet wide, and the material for
it, it 10 thought, might be obtained from
the high bluffs at the Irish end. The
estimated cost is $4,000 600, and the
time named as necessary for construc
ton is three years. The current flows at
six miles an hour most Of the way across,
and at some places even faster. ~ is
taken for granted that the power etel,
oped by this means would be convef ted
into the form Of electricity for transmits
sion; but there is some question as to the
localities IN which it would be used. On
The Irish side of the channel there are
no large towns near ct hand. Dublin. Il

Prot, " Sims is utterly displeased with
the above response to his demand for
protection, and threatens to 60 to Kau-
kama next month with body guard OF
1000 Apaists from Milwaukee and Osh-
kosh armed to the teeth. He declares
that free speech would be protected it
blood had to be shed in torrents. He
compares himself to John Brown and
says that many courageous men are ready
and willing to lay down their lives tor
the cause he advocates and represents.
A large lumber of these valiant defend
ers of Sims are Canadian Orangemen
who have come across the line to aecum-
ulate American dollars, but who are not
citizens of the United States, because
they will not change their allegiance to
the British crown which they have sworn
to uphold at all hazards.
Notwithstanding the fact that Sims is
engaged in nefarious business-that of at
tacklng any body Of American citizens
on religious grounds-we would grant
him freedom Of speech and then hold
him responsible for his public utter
ances. 1t is supreme folly for the Cath
olios Of Kaukauna or of any other city or
town in the United States to prevent
Sims and other A. P. A. lecturers from
speaking to their hearts content. The
lies and ISLANDERS of these Know Nothing
fanatics will not injure Catholics in the
least degree with sensible Americans. II
these disreputable viliiers make definite
charges against the priests and sisters OF
the Catholic Church and make speeches
melting to disorder, the laws Of the land
are competent to deal with them. The
editor of the american Eagle" at Fort
| Wayne, Ind, and Bishop Mcnamara
at Kansas city made specific charges
against priests and sisters and they were
Immediately arrested and prosecuted ac-
cording to law. That is toe way to treat
"Prof" Sims instead of assaulting him
and resorting to mob violence. Stones
and sticks are poor arguments to use in
goud cause. Let the slanderers go on
give them free rein and they will soon
make themselves odious to all thought.
full and law-abiding citizens. The best
service that can be rendered to them is
to modest them. Let Catholics keep
away from their vile harangues and treat
them with silent contempt. The A. P.
A.. movement will die as it's predecessor
did forty years ago. It has NO vitality,
and sensible people do not approve OF its
aims or methods. It is exasperating OF
course, but so are mosquitoes and gnats.
Opposition of lawless kind will only
prolong the miserable existence of the A.
P. A., and if it's high-priest Sims is NAL
treated at Kaukauna or elsewhere, the
the society will receive "boom" and he
will be looked upon as martyr. Better
let him and others of his ilk say the
worst things OF Catholics than to modest
them with violence. Give them full
liberty to speak and write in this free
country and then hold them responsible
in the courts Of justice.

A D1sHArcH from Bay City. Mich.
says that the A. P. A. movem emit, which
was very strong in that city a year ago,
is dead. and no interest is taken in the
affairs of the association. 1t was killed
because it's members who had been
deluded into thinking the order was
to protect the public schools found
it was in reality tool of leading Repub-
lican politicians for use in times of cleo
ton. There is no doubt but the A. P, A.
leaders are etter the loaves and fishes of
Office and it is remarkable that in
every municipal election, like that at Du-
lnth last week, they vote the Republican
ticket. The rank and file of the A. p. A.
will get their eyes opened after awhile
and quit it in disgust.

ALL authorities agree in stating that
the ancient inhabitants of Ireland must
have been very familiar with gold ana
we'll accustomed to it's use. Native gold
occurs in geological deposits in many
parts of Ireland. Until lately the gold
mines in Wicklow were the most pro-
ductive in the British isles, and besides
this there are six other known gold-pro-
ducing localities Derry, Ty-
rome, Kildare, Dublin and Wexford. 1t
is probable, however, that many of the
earlier auriferous deposits have been
worked out, or are now unknown. It is
fact that no country in Europe pos
sesses SO much manufactured gold be-
longing to early ages as Ireland. In the
museum of the Royal Irish Academy
alone there are nearly 400 specimens of
Irish antique. The gold antiquities in
the British Museum illustrative of Brit
ish history are, without exception, Irish.
The museum of Trinity College, Dublin,
contains many fine examples, and there
are several large private collections. But
there is no doubt that much greater
quantities of gold ornaments than are
now known as existing have been lost
forever.

THE BIBLE IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Hon. w. w. Prendergast, superinten end
emit of public instruction in this state,
was recently interviewed about the pro-
priety OF reading the Bible in the pu bile
schools. The interview was published in
"School Education" and is said to have
been given in reply to teacher who de-
sired to know whether it is proper for
him to offer prayer and read tho Bible in
school where the majority Of the pupils
are Roman Catholics. The State Super
intendent assumes the position that the
custom ofopening legislative proceedings
with prayer should be strong proceed
ent for opening the school exercises with
prayer every morning. Mr.. Prendergast
then says: .
"Whatever may be the peculiar reli-
gious beliefs of the different individuals
who make up the United States, still
this country is recognized among the ma
tions OF the world as Christian country.
In the same manner the state of Mime
sofa is Christian state, as is evidenced
by the Thanksgiving proclaim atoms an
nually issued by our governors and
by various other state papers, In
view of all / have said, it can hal dly
be regarded as an improperly for a
teacher to read brief selection from the
Bible and to offer short prayer in the
presence of the school. Even in the case
of those who do not subscribe to the re-
ligious teachings of the Bible, their chill
dren would hardly receive any harm
from such procedure, Christian par
ents do not object to their children be-
coming acquainted during their Greek
and Latin course with the mythologies
Of Greece and Rome, and no harm could
probably result to Mohammedan, q
pagan or free thinker in listening to
reading from the Bible"
When the State Superintendent men,
tions the Bible we presume he means the
Protestant version, and on moments
reflection he must see that the reading
of the Protestant version in q public
school where the maj GRITTY OF the scholars
are Roman Catholics would be extremely
and rather unfair on the part
of the teacher. If any version OF the
Bible were read at all ii school contain
ing a majority Of Catholic pupils it should
be the Catholic version. and then what
would the Protestant minority think
about it? They would vigorously oppose
such an innovation, and they would be
justified in doing 30. They would not
agree with Mr.. Prendergast that ..it can
hardly be regarded as an impropriety

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY II, 1894.
THE BRITISH PEERS.

After recess Of several week the Brit
ish parliament met last Monday. Glad
stone was on hand and received quite an
ovation from his followers on taking his
seat This promises to be lively SEES
sion OF parliament. The British press
and people are beginning to get impa-
tient with the aristocrats of the upper
chamber for rejecting and emasculating
the measures passed by the lover house.
The attitude Of hostility taken up by the
lords towards the Home Rule hill, the
parish councils bill and the employers
liability bill has incensed the friends of
these measures and they are calling aloud
to bring the lords to time for obstructing
the will of the people. They are so in
dignant at the high handed action of the
peers that they are determined to end or
mend them during this session. The
Daily Chronicle gives expression 10 the
feelings Of the people when it declares
that <the second chamber is an effete in
stitution, that it is useless and danger
GUS and ought to be abolished with all
convenient dispa ch." Another Liberal
organ, the Daily News. is outspoken
against the upper chamber and says:
s.Let the quarrel come. 1t is the old
controversy between the republican prin-
ciple and the hereditary principle. That
controversy has now reached an acute
stage and calls for Immediate settlement"
The Speaker" follows suit and ASSERTS
that present appearances indicate that
the country is on the eve of one OF the
tierceet struggles on record between the
republican chamber and the body that
represents only the absurd and exclu-
sive privilege of narrow caste. John
Burns, the labor representative in par
lament, has notified the Tories that it
the upper house remains unyielding the
Liberal majority in the next election
would be increased to $50. Prot. Bryce,
author of American Commonwealth"
significantly says: 'rhe Liberal party
would have preferred to proceed with
measures of social reform rather than be
driven to mend the machinery OF the
government if the lords themselves had
permitted them to do so. But il the
lords choose to force conflict the con-
fliot must be faced aud an effort must be
made to clear away the bar on which 80
many vessels freighted with useful legis-
lation have been wrecked. What would
be the issue of q struggle between the
hereditary house and the commons of
England few could doubt, and the Lib
eral party would be true to it's best ira
dltious in accepting it with promptitude
and courage"
The lords must either yield or face the
music.1 lThe probability is that they will
surrender, for they are arrant towards
when popular indignation is aroused
against them. Gladstone is rather old to
engage in fight against the peers, and
it is evident that he does not favor the
abolition of their chamber. lord Rose
berry and Sir William Harcourt are aris-
tocrats aud they will also be slow to
press for the humiliation of the house Of
lords. The people themselves have the
matter in their own hands. Let them
rise in their might and intimidate the
titled rufians who are depriying them OF
their rights.
