THE SOCIAL QUESTION.
Rev. John Poland Addresses the Catholic
School at Madison.

School at Madison.
Madison, Wis, Aug. 5.-[Special. i
At the Catholic summer school today
Rev. John N. Poland. S. J., of Gin
cinnati. lectured again on the Church
and the Social Question" He said in
substance that the real social problem is
not a mere question of temporal loss or
gain of increased production or higher
wages. 1t consists in determining how
we shall make the condition of man liv-
ing in civil society more consistent with
his nature as a human being. Man is
an intelligent free being and cannot be
managed like q mere machine. Herein
lies one of the main difficulties in recon-
%structing society.
Last evening John D. Willis of st.
Paul in mis- lecture before the school on
Modern Social Reforms in Their Rela-
ton to Politics." made a vigorous at
tack on the trusts and syndicates which
monopolize the great business of the
country together with the INSCRIPTIONS
manipulation of railways and railway
securities, as in a large measure respon-
sible for present social conditions. The
only remedy for the evils which breed
the discomfort of today, he said, was to
be found in Christianity and its influence.

BOOM FOR NEENAH.
Probable that the Wisconsin Gen.

Terminus.

Neenah, Wis, Aug. 4.-ISpecial.lEIt is
now possible that the Wisconsin Central

of a division between this city and Ste

proposed change of divisions.
