Daily News. According to the Banking
and Railway Statistics just published
there has been very large increase in
savings during the year 1894, the total
amounts in the Savings Banksin Ireland
being close on seven millions sterling in
December, 1894, as compared with
G6, 2l9 600 for 1893. The actual increase
is e74O,O00 for the year, following an in
crease Of 948, in the year 1893, and an
increase of 5000 at the close Of 1892,
as compared with December, 1891. Since
1904, through Ireland generally, and es-
pecially in the west, very early marriages
have become less frequent. This de-.
crease Of early marriages, especially
among women, accounts, says the Regis
trar General, to q great extent for the
dimunition in the average sizs Of fami-
lies in Ireland, and also explains in part
the diminished birth rate, which in the
ten years from 1881 to 1890 had fallen
from "a to % per thousand OF the
population. There ought to have been
an increase in. the Irish population in
the ten years Of over quarter of a mil
lion, that being the increase Of births
over deaths, but this natural increase
has been more than counterbalanced by
emigration, so that in the same period
the population sank by nearly half 9 mil
lion. ga..

united on the question Of education, says
the Western Waterman. The French,
Catholics pull one way; all others the
other way. We hope for harmony and
cooperation under the new archbishop
who is g liberal- minded man and an in.
conoclast Of antiquated forms. But the
contention Of the Catholics Of Manitoba
Is we'll founded. From legal and con-
stitutienal point Of view the remedial or.
der Of the Prlvy Council is sound. The
British North American act provides
that province shall have exclusive ju-
risdiction as to education, 'but that
nothing in any such law shall prejudi.
eially affect any right or privilege with
respect to UNCONVENTIONAL schools which
any class of persons have by law in the
province at the time of the union" This
is plain language, but the Catholics OF
Manitoba, before they entered the Do.
minion, demanded still more explicit
assurance that their schools be not dis
turbed, and that assurance was given in
clause in the act of admission which
repeated the privileges Of the British
North American act and inserted the
words '.in practice" after the word
s'law," go that no misunderstanding
could by any chance exist. With such
specific safeguards the Catholic minority
thought itself secure, and for many years
it was. But the number Of Professionals
in Manitoba has been increasing year by
year, and the demand for one system OF
public schools has grown apace, resulting
in the law of 1890.

work OF the White Fathers OF the Sa-s
hara. Among the great obstacles to the 2,
evangelization OF Africa, Cardinal La
vigerie recognized that Moham edanism
was the greatest because it sanctioned
slavery and polygamy. With the history
|uf the African slave trade the name of
this great man must ever be intimately
connected. When he left the See OF
Nance in France to enter upon the CRU cru
SADIE against the cruelties Of the North
African slave trade Europe was sleeping.
The Christian nations Of the world had
had their attentions drawn to the matter
but it needed some one of zeal and abil
ity to arouse them to action. This Gar
dinal Lavigerie did, and today the White
Fathers are prosecuting the work began
by their founder. 5,. (,
The White Fathers, from their head
quarters at Biskra, a town situated in an
oasis of the Sahara desert, have spread
eastward and westward and are now
piercing southwark into the 'Black Re
gion' along the Niger. They lead, civill-
cation follows. As soon as region is
rendered comparatively safe, they leave
the building up of schools and hospitals
to the Sisters of Our Lady of the ARR
can Missions, who are today following
the White Fathers to Timbuctoo, in the
heart Of Africa; while they press onward
into regions where no white man has
ever been. They accomplish their espe-
cial end by special means. They assume
the manners of the natives, speak their
language, wear their garments, eat their
food. Their aim is the evangelization
of all Africa, to penetrate, into the very
interior where cannibalism and slavery
still prevail in revolving forms. Theirs
is true work conversion, in the inter-
Lest Of humanity. There is no pros
Felytism IN their methods. They are

THE Fisher libel suits are all settled.
On Tuesday last at Georgetown the law
yers got together and agreed TO settle
them by defendants paying costs. Fisher
paid his own lawy ers their fees. It was
proposed first by Fishers lawyers that
the defendants confess Judgment for
six cents and pay his lawyers This
proposition was at once rejected The
next proposition coming from Fishers
lawyers was that the defendants pay the
costs and pay Fishers lawyers. This too
was at once refused. A settlement was
reached by defendants agreeing to pay
costs and having read in open court the
following disclaimers Zach and every
one OF these defendants deny that they or
either Of them wrote, published, or caused
to be written or published OF uttered, aay
word or words in any manner libelous ct
Samuel G. Fisher the plaintiff, at the
pubic meeting held at Milford, Oh Mon
dav, the 26i h day of November, a, D
1894. and they and each Of them do new
disclaim any i'll will or malice towards
the said plaintiff in any act done by th,
said defendants or word uttered at the
said meeting" Tue above is not re
traction but simply a disclaimer Tao
defendants do not take back anything
itey said or deny anything except the
libel and this they deny and have always
denied. Their CLAIM 5lways was that
they did not libel Fisher IN those resoln
tons aud this they disclaini now, Moth
more, nothing less. The costs in the case
amounted to about four dollars tor each
man and thus ends what some people
have chosen to consider the most nn

Tue announcement that Louis Stern,
the New York merchant who was sent
enced to fourteen days Imprisonment for
acting in an alleged diSorderlv manner
toward Baron Won Thuengen, at Kissin
gen, in Germany, recalls the fact that
two Delaware men were very much inter
ested in the case. General r R. Ken
ney, Of Dover was one of his counsel
aud Henry c. Carpenter, formerly Of
Dover, but now United States commercial
agent at Fuerth; was the one who did all
that he could to get justice Tor Mr. Stern.
General Kenney happened to be in Ger
many at the time aud was engaged in
the case General Keuney is not slow in
stating that Mr. Stern did not get justice
He also thinks that it is a proper case
for the Department ofState to take acti IN.
General Kenney says that the true state
ment of the trouble is this: A state ball
was given at which Baron Won Thuengeu
was officially what the Americans would
call a floor manager, Complaint was
made that a son of Mr. Stern was present
at the ball III violation Of the law which
forbids anyone under 10 years Of age TAX
ing part. Mr.. Stern insisted that his son
was more than 10 years Did, and in order
to lconvince Baron Won Thqengen, called
y
was more than 10 The baron very
plainly informed Mrs Stern that he did
not believe her This was more than
Mr.. Stern could stand, and SO he invited
the representative OF tue German nobil
ity outside to be whipped. For this Mr..
Stern was arrested and sentenced to four
teen davs imprisonment aud to pay a
fine OF $50. The case was appealed and
pending the appeal Mr. Stern was CONF
PEELED to give $4,000 bond that he
would serve out the imprisonment in
case the decision of the court was sus
tanned by the higher body. From July
10 to August he was practically pris
oner in the town He was watched aud
was not even allowed to ride in a car
rage for fear he would escape. The
higher court sustained the decision Of the
lower one. In Germany a mau who
gives bail in a case like this one can
allow the bail to stand and serve out his
sentence at any future time when he
chooses to surrender himself. If he does
not present himself in a reasonable time,
he, Of course, forfeits his bail He must
also keep out Of Germany. Mr.. Stern
therefore decided to lose $4,000 sooner
than go to Jail.
