The Argonaut is well-known
as an implacabls enemy of the
Catholic Church, and it's ram
blings are only deserving of
notice on account Of the vast
circulation enjoyed by it.
A morning paper in Homo
lulu took up the question Of
church and school a few days
ago, and adopted the views Of
the missionaries, who are
just as prejudiced in that line
as is the Catholic Church.
Let the schools be free from
sectarianism and religion alto
gether, and let the question of
worship and belief sbecome
purely a matter Of home and
family. And at the same
time allow schools and educa-
tional institutions to goahead
in their true vocation, as in
structors Of the youth and the
makers of the material that will
one day turn into, at least the
somblance of man and woman,
without hampering them with

UNJUST.
The Argonaut Still on the
Warpath Against the
Catholics.

The Legislature of Pennsylvania
has just passed a bill prohibiting
the wearing Of religious garb in
the public schools. The object of
the law is to abolish every trace Of
religious sectarianism iu schools
which are intended to place all
oreeds on level, and to prevent
the intrusion of any of them into
the business of education. As
such, it does not appear that it
should provoke the antagonism of
reasonable men.
But Bishop McGovern. of Har-
risburg, sees in it covert attack
on the Roman Catholic faith, and
denounces it in letter which is
published in the press. He says
that the law is unmitigated per-
secution; that 1T is designed to
exclude priests and nuns of the
Roman Catholic persuasion from
serving as teachers in ths schools;
and that the denial Of their right
enpear in the schools in their
religious dress is simply denying
them liberty Of sonscisncs. 1t
strikes the public that the bishops
logic is loose. The Pennsylvania
bill does not interfere with the
faith of teachers. They may pro,
fsss any religion they please, OF
cling to any superstition they
fancy, without molestation. II
merely provides that they shall
not ostentatiously display in the
schools garb which, as the
bishop says, is badge of scotia
rianism. 1t does not impair the
right of a Roman Catholic to teach
in the schools. 1t simply de-

A MALICIOUS STATES
MENT PUBLISHED.

In the San Francisco Chro-
nicls of tho 23rd of April ap-
pears a letter signed by a loca
correspondent to foreign news
papers. In it is stated. that a
copy of the constitution which
was supposed to be proclaimed
by Queen Liliuokalani in jan
.uary, 1898, is in the hands of
the government and now in
the Foreign Office in Honolulu.
We do not, as o rule take
any notice of tho absurd and
fantastic statements Of the
average correspondent to a
foreign newspaper residing
IN Honolulu. But in this in
stance We consider it proper
and just to say that the said
correspondent is indulging in
a deliberate falsehood, and
that only'a sensational journal
like The Chronicle could be
found willing to print his idio-
tic and untrue stories,

Minister Thurston was re-
called and the only mystery
about it consisted in the mis-
carriage of Secrstary Gres-

that are frequently committed
in the San Francisco post Of

teenth and fifteenth centuries2 We
do not hear of the Church of Eng
land or the Established Church
OF Scotland sending ablegates to
Washington to extend the power
Of their sect. But Mgr. Satolli is
accredited by the Pope to this
country with the particular mis-
sion of conquering the land, and
beguiling, or seducing, or coerc-
ing us into a belief in the blood
of S. Januarius anc the Holy Coat
Of Treves. This is counting alfght.
II is throwing down a & ,uutle. 1t
is Offering challenge. 1t is sim
ply natural that such provocations
to battle should lead to the or
ganization of A. p A. societies,
and to the passage of bills de-
signed to keep the priesthood out
of the schools, however they may
dominate city councils. These
steps are not persecution. They
are merely self.defense.
Like most ecclesiastical con-
troversialists, the bishop is not
careful about his facts. He says:
THE reform in the various
State constitutions did not re-
form the spirit of intolerance of a
larger number Of the people of
these United States. Catholics
are the marked victims on nearly
all occasions of this fanatical
hate; they are slandered and
vilified in newspapers, pamphlets,
on the rostrum, in political and
religious conventions, in the
pulpit, in the State legislatures,
and in the .halls of Congress;
they are prescribed at the ballot
box and debarred from all Offices
or places of trust or profit, which
emanate from the vote of the
people, except their constituents
are Catholics, by prejudice that
has the force Of organic law"
This is absurdly false. No
sect is treated so tenderly as the
Roman Catholics; tkere is hardly
a newspaper anywhere, and only
one in San Francisco, which
dares to criticise the adherents of
Rome, and as to Offices, their
habit of casting II solid vote at
elections insures them their pick
of offices where there is plunder
to be grabbed. There is hardly
a county or State convention held
at which more or less terrorism
is not exercised by Roman Cath
ollc wire pullers inspired by
their priests.
Bishop McGovern ironically
thanks the Legislature of Penn
sylvania for quickening Roman
Catholic zeal by proscri bing the
religious garb in the schools.
Strange to say, no such view is
taken by the Jewish rabbis or the
Russian popes, whose ecclesiastical
costume is also shut out from the
schools. 1t seems that neither
the Israelites nor the members of
the Greek Church consider them
self prosecuted by a law which
forbids their parading in the
schools in their clerical garb. The
reason is simple. They are not
always seeking pretext for quarrel
with the prevailing religion in
this country. 1t is the McGoverns
and similar members of the proud
and sensitive race who are always
spelling for fight. - The Argonaut.

The Conductors Calculations.

A newsboy, a passenger and conductor
came together on Market street car yes
terday. The conductor wanted fare from
the passenger, the passenger wanted pa
per from the newsboy and the newsboy
wanted change from the conductor. The
passenger handed the conductor and the
newsboy each 10 cents. The newsboy hand
ed his dime to the conductor for change.
The conductor rang up fare, gave the
boy four nickels and went out to the front
of the car. The boy gave the passenger
three nickels and paper and Jumped OF
the car. The conductor returned, and rec
ollecting that he had not given the passen.t
ger his change out of the dime gave him
a nickel. The passenger then had his 20
cents back and had paid for his ride and
paper.
The conductor retired to the rear plat
form and commenced to figure. He count
ed it all up on his fingers, shook his head
doubtfully and counted it up again, but
he could not figure it out to his satisfac.
tion. He was morally certain that he had
been flimflammed, but he couldn't fix the
responsibility either on the, newsboy or
the passenger. The number of fares he
missed while trying to figure himself out
even would have cost him his job if a spot
ter had been aboard.-San Francisco Post.

A Wonderful Woman.

Not all the women of the last generation
were mindless dolls. There was for in
stance, Miss Phoebe Brown of Matlock,
England, as noted by William Hutton in
1901. Her common dress was mans hat,
coat, with spencer above it, and mems
shoes. She could lift hundredweight
with either hand and carry IA stone. Her
voice was more than mascuIine 1t was
deep toned, and, the wind in her face, she
could send it mile. Yet she had no
beard. She could sew, knit, cook, spin,
but hated them all. She accepted any kind
of manual labor, but her favorite avoca-
tion was breaking in horses at guinea a
week. She was an excellent judge of a
COW and shot accurately with gun. Her
chief food was milk and she was fond Of
Milton, Pope and Shakespeare. This ad-
mirable female also performed neatly on
the flute, violin, harpsichord and bass
viol. She could cover easily 10 miles a
day, and when a gentleman at the New
Bath treated her rudely she said that "she
had good mind to have knocked him
down. New York Tribune,

A STUDY OF THuNpERsIoRMs.
Facts About Their Distribution Set Forth
by Professor KIossovslSy.

factS ABOUT Ihe1r Distributfon Set Forth
by Professor KlossovslSy.
Professor Klossovsky of the University
of Odessa having made a special study OF
thunderstorms, has published a chart show
ing the distribution of such storms over
tho known surface of the globe 1t was
already known that thunderstorms are
rare in high latitudes and unknown above
rs degrees north. The electrical activity
of the earth near the poles seems to find
vent in auroral displays. In Europe the
frequency of thunderstorms increases as
the observer moves southwark, and there
Is somewhat irregular line of greatest
frequency encircling the globe near the
equator. The number lessons as one moves
southwark from the equator, but not SO
rapidly as in moving northward from that
line, and the region of strong auroral 40.
tivity is much narrower in the southern
hemisphere than in the northern. The
frequency of tempests decreases rapidly in
going north or south from the equator in
the interior Of the continents. There is q
line of demarcation between the region of
frequent and the region of rare tempests,
extending from the southwest to the
northeast. In the desert of Africa and
over Persia and the great area of central
Asia thunderstorms are infrequent, the
total number in given locality not ex-
ceeding five or six annually. There Is a
zone with mean of five to ten tempests
annually enveloping the northern part OF
European Russia, the southern part of the
Scandinavian peninsula and Great Britain,
while at the extreme northwest of the
Scandinavian peninsula and in Siberia the
mean descends to one, and even none.
In the American continent the number
OF tempestS increases regularly in ap-
preaching the equator though here as in
Europe and Asia, there are marked irregu-
larities in certain regions. Africa, save at
points on the coast, is peculiarly free from
tempests. The maximum is reached in the
Blight of Benin. At Lima Peru, light.
ming is never seen. Here however, earth
quakes are Of almost daily occurrence, and
there seems to be a law that in countries
subject to earthquakes thunderstorms are
rare, or perhaps more accurately, where
thunderstorms are unknown earthquakes
are frequent. At Leon and Guanajuato,
Mexico, however, there are from 140 to
$50 thunderstorms in the year.
Professor Klossovsky finds that the fro
quency of thunderstorms in a given region
depends somewhat upon the conductivity
of the soil. Where the soil is a good con-
ductor the electrical activity is easily dis
tributed without violence Limestone
regions are subject ITO thunderstorms be.
cause the soil is not good conductor of

world, in latitude SO degrees to "a degrees
north, thunderstorms are more frequent
than in the same latitudes Of the new world.
At the same time the region Of auroral 40.

Disposine of Kitchen Refuse.

The labor Of keeping city streets in
clean, presentable and sanitary condition
is greatly reduced by the sensible prac-
tioal housekeeper who takes the trouble to
consume the garbage and scraps that &C.
cumulate. The very best way to do this
is to put upon the coal fire, after the meal
is finished, whatever refuse may have been
gathered. This is at once the easiest, least
expensive and cleanliest way of getting
rid of it. An old colander or metal vessel
full of holes may be placed in the kitchen
sink, and into it all scraps and useless left
overs are to be thrown. When well
drained, they are ready for consumption,
and will help in keeping tho fire until the
next meal. A patented device for accom-
plishing this end is perforated cage,
designed to be slipped into q cross section
of pipe attached to the ordinary stovepips.
