Baltimore. March 31-CardinaI Glib
bons. in his sermon today at the ca
thedral. said:
How true IL is that history repeats
the same calumnies that were uttered
against the Lord and Savior in his
day. The same calumnies that were
circulated against the primitive
church are ventilated today against
the church of God. her clergy and
members. Let me give one instance
out Of a thousand that 1 might bring
forward to illustrate the subject. The
Catholic church is jealous of the hon
or and moral rectitude of her clergy.
1t is her constant aim that they should
walk in innocence and blamelessness
of life. Whenever any of her clergy
is known to have contracted any de-
grading habits incompatible with her
sacred calling, he is Withdrawn from the
active pursuits of the ministry until
he has given marks of refOrma ton.
The church has too much reverence
for God: she has too much respect for
the Ialty; she has too much respect
for the clergy themselves. to suffer an
unworthy priest to minister at her
altar
But we find it very hard to please
our enemies. They are very inconsis-
tent. If we were to retain a degener-
ate clergy. or a republican ministry.
they would point the finger of scorn
at US and say. See how low. is the
moral standard of the Catholic clergy
If we dismiss one of them from the
service of the altar. they will forth
with pick him up from the gutter and
receive this fallen angel with open
arms; they will embrace him as a
long lost brother and take him TO their
bosom and lead him about like soma
strange animal and exhibit him to
public gaze.
He is sure. of course, to nisrepre-
sent and malign the church. His
masters are sure to dictate the sub
jects on which he is to speak, which
are popular and attractive for the
time being, such as the everlasting
inquisition, patriotism, the confessional
and the pope. They affect to believe
this man in his fall, whom they would
not hear when he was hOnOred in the
sanctuary. If it is a sin to tell jo-
cose lie, if it is a crime to calumniate
ones neighbor, how shall we G. = -ac-
terize those who malign the largest
body of christians in the world?
You may cover with mud Washing
toms and Taney's monuments in this
city, but heavens wind and rain will
make them clean again. So God in
His own good time, will dispel the
clouds of calumny and vindicate the
truth

Denver, March S1.-Otto C. Floto, the
manager of the "Old Tennessee" COM
pany, has been arrested in this city, at
the request of Detective Scott, of Butte,
Mont. The charge against Floto is per-
jury, and the claim is made that he
jumped his bond when he left Butte. His
trouble in Butte was the result of the
warm contest which took place last fall
in Montana over the proposed removal of
the state capital from Helena to Anacon-
da. Floto, it is said, registered too often.
He was arrested and put under $500
bonds. His trial was set for March a,
the officers say, and he was not there

Floto said he had been in Helena al
most a year. Seeing an opportunity TO
make some money he organized the 'Old
Tennessee company, and started upon a
tour with the company. He went from
Butte to Anaconda, Salt Lake and finally
TO Denver. He was much surprised, ap-
parently, at being arrested. He said it
was his intenr n to start for Butte to-
day. Floto has been somewhat prominent
in sporting circles as a manager of pugil-

SEARCHING FOR INQUIRE.
Officers on the Trail of the CaIifor-
mia Bandit.

Marysville, Cal, March 31.-The railroad
detectives, deputy marshals and the sher-
ifs of three counties who have been hunt
ing for Jack Mcclure, the surviving
brother of the leaders in the trio of BAN
dts who held up the train yesterday
morning when Sheriff Hogard was killed,
are positive that Mcclure is either in San
Francisco or Stockton. He is well known
in all the interior towns of northern Cal
ifornia, having worked on ranches and in
livery stables in many localities. The BIZ
cycle discarded by the robbers has been
identified by San Francisco bicycle agents
who had rented it with two others to the
Mcclure brothers. 1t is believed that the
three robbers came from San Francisco
on the train with their wheels, and after
accommodating they rode to a spot within
three miles of the scene of the robbery,
concealing their bicycles. After the hold
up, the surviving robbers escaped on
their wheels, Jack MCGUIRE going toward
Sacramento and the other north. The
wheel found was presumably ridden by
Sam Mcguire, the dead bandit. The res
idence of the McGuires in San Francisco
where the wardrobes were left, has been
located. The officers have no doubt of
Jack McGuire's ultimate apprehension.

STEWART AND SILVER.
Many Suggestions Have Been Re-
ceived By the Senator.
Especial to The Herald.l


Washington, D. c., March Ex-senator
Stewart, of Nevada, since the adjourn
ment of Congress, has received many let
tiers from silver men in all sections, Of
fering suggestions or proposing plans for
the silverites in the next campaign. Many
are averse to the nomination of an in
dependent ticket, preferring to accom-
plish their ends through the medium of
either one or the other of the old par
ties, but should both of the latter fail
to recognize the silver sentiment in their
platforms and nominations, they propose
that the silver men vote for Republican
or Democrat electors pledged TO support
some free coinage man in the electoral
college; but only as a last resort are
they willing to nominate an Independent
presidential candidate. Senator Stewart
expresses no individual opinion to which
way is best, preferring TO hear from 9TH
ers before committing himself to any
plan. He is. however, emphatic in his
avowal that neither Reed, Allison, Nc
Kinley or Harrison will receive the sup
port of the Republicans loyal to the
cause of silver.

the occasion. Tonight there was a gen.
eral illumination on scale that had not
been attempted before in a quarter of a

Zler. In addition some of the windows
contained historic scenes and portraits of

FOR LIFE.
Lii Hung Changes AssaiInnt Sent Up
Terms of the Armistice.

Terms of the Armistice.
Simonoeski, March 31.-Keyama Ro-
kunseki the young Japanese who at
tempted to assassinate Lii Hung Chang.
has been sentenced to penal servitude
for life.
The armistice established by the order
of the Mikado extends 10 April 81 but
it will terminate if the peace stipulations
are broken in the meantime. According
to the terms of the armistice, the move
ment of troops and the transportation of
contraband of war by sea is forbidden
The new distribution of troops not in
tended to augment the armies in the
field IS allowed.
A plan originally proposed as condi-
tons of an armiStice, included the oc-
cupation by the Japanese of Shan
Kwan, Talu and Tien Tsin and the
Japanese control of Shan Kwan and
Tien Tsin railroad, China, to defray
the costs of such occupation. Lii Hung
Chang has vainly sought to modify
these conditions and it was proposed
to continue the negotiations without
an armistice being established, when
the attempt on the life of the Chinese
plenipotentiary occurred. This led to
the declaration of the mikado of an
unconditional armistice.
AS the terms of armistice do not en-
brace the island of Formosa, the OPP
erations there will continue.
