The ban placed by the Roman Catholic
Church upon the orders of knights of
Pythias, Sons of Temperance and Odd
Fellows is absolute and admits of no
further discussion. This is the mandate
of the Pope, through his official repre-
sentative, Cardinal Satolli In indivdu-
al cases, where hardships and SUITE ing
might follow as result of severing con-
nection with any of these organizations,
the matter may be referred to Rome
through the bishop of the diocese. The
three orders named at have Il member
ship in round numbers of over 100000,
including nearly one hundred thousand
Roman Catholics. Influential Catholics
have tried hard to have this ban modified
or removed but the Pope is innovable on
the subject.

RUSSELL sAGEs VIEWS.

Some financiers in the street took . different view of the situation from that of bankers in general One of these is Russell Sage. who has been oD- posing the syndicate and sending let

ters to Washington advocating pop ular loan.
 MT Sage said this morning:
 'I am jubilant over the situation. Everything will come out all right now l am glad that MT, Carlisle be- lieves in the popular loan Idea, for it certainly will prove successful
 Tt will result in keeping the bonds in the country and will give our small banks sound assets, When man has sound assets he cannot fail. There are between 5000 and 4,000 national banks in this country, and they will all sub scribe to the loan, and it is a grand idea
 Had the government accepted 8 proposition from the syndicate the bonds would have gone abroad. We may now all show our patriotism with the proper spirit and at the same time keep the solid securities here for our own protection. Why, if small banks or business men carry these govern ment bonds they may borrow money on them at any time,
 Another good effect will be that by the popular loan persons hoarding gold will relinquish it, and I can see better times in the future. It is as clear as the unclouded sun. The business out look is brighter to-day than it has been for a long time.
 "On Saturday I met Henry Clews and he agreed with my views upon the subject and I cant find anyone who is opposed to the popular loan. l am certain that the entire amount of the bonds will be subscribed for.
 q have statements that there are more than $400,000,OO0 in gold held by banks and individuals which may be used in bidding for the bonds.
 q am certainly going to bid for these bonds. It is a chance for everyone to show his patriotism, The poor man who cannot attend the meetings of bankers will now have a chance to invest his geld, I venture to predict that there will be no bid under 10S. The majori- ty of bids, I imagine will be more.
 "The syndicate cannot hold the $200,- 900, 900 which it has hoarded. The pop u.al loan will have the effect of causing the syndicate to unload the gold It's a grand scheme, this popular loan, and the profit will go to the govern ment and not to few and the foreign CTS"
 Mr. Sage denied that he was inter- ested in any syndicate in opposition to MT. Morgan's.

 TUBERCULOSIS IN MASSACHU-
 SETTS.
 In his message to the Massachusetts legislature Governor Greenhalge ha, this to say of the work of the cattle commission in that state;
 The eradication or limitation of tuber. culosis in cattle has been carried on with vlgor during the last year. There have been examined upon request 235 herds, comprising 1925 animals, of which 265 per cent. were diseased, and there are now many herds waiting to be examined but which cannot be for lack of funds, The owners, of cattle killed have received about $S5 per head.
 It is true that the whole subject is one of difficulty, and there is need Of patience and judgment on all sides in order to obtain the best results.
 The slaughter of tuberculous cattle is in charge of Commissioner c. A Dennen. The work Is done at Water- town and is open to interested and dis. interested parties alike, owners of anil mals always being invited to be pres ent, and animals are held until owners can witness the slaughter. The car casses are sold for 20c, per cwt. and are sent to Wards Island, Boston har. bor, where they are converted into fer, tilizer.
 The Massachusetts law forbids the slaughter of animals by the owner, on his own premises and for his own use, without inspection. On this point the current ''Homestead' says that strict enforcement of existing law about in spection of animals butchered on farms, would send to jail about half the farmers in Massachusetts, We doubt if they could produce a certifi- cate of health for one in ten of the hogs and sheep they have butchered the past year."

COLUMBUS, o., June 24.-The Demo.
cratic state convention was called 70 or.
der by Chairman smalley today
During the morning members Of the
committee on resolutions were working
on the phraseology Of the one resolution
There was only one thing in the plat.
form and that was a resolution on silver
and an attachment for the unit rule Ia.
volving the silver question at Chicago
But there were wide differences on en-.
forcing the unit rule, and as 10 the
words to BE- used in expressing the one
idea OF the convention. While there
was nothing in the platform but silver.
the same issue controlled all other com.
mittees and preliminary meetings. The
state central committee was ro0rganized.
This committee as well as other com.
mittoes, stood 10 1 for free silver.
Temporary and permanent chairmen and
al officers Of the convention were silver
men, and the gold minority complained
Of their treatment.
When Temporary organization was an
nounced, Colonel W. A. Taylor, tempo
rary chairman, read his speech. Col.
Taylor's declaration for free coinge at
10 to 1, gave silver advocates their first
opportunity TO cheer, and they did it
vociferously.
Tho gold men fought the report ON
rules because IL referred all the resolu-
tious without debate. but the report was
adopted.
After the report Of the committee on
permanent organization was adopted
General A. J. Warner was escorted 10
the chair as presiding officer and re-
ceived an ovation. General Warner
was introduced a. an apostle Of 10 10 1.
He urged all 20 sacrifice personal pref
erences and all other matters for tho
silver issue. People had made the issue
and the 81. Louis convention had en-
phasized IL by adopting a single gold
standard. Lines were never so distinct
ly drawn. There was no longer any
doubt about what would be done at Chi.
cago on the issue. He urged all advo-
Gates Of the bimetallic standard Of tho
fathers Of The constitution to unite on
one ticket "a well az on one issue. He
insisted that this union Of people, re-
gardles' Of party alliance, against the
gold signdard money power was now
the duty q the hour. Il would save
people from becoming homeless and
tenantry willie the rich are becoming
richer by increasing the value Of gold
Values Of all that people possess are de-
creasing while values Of foreign money
are increasing.
General Warmers speech was inter.
rupicd continuously by applause and e..
pecially IN his references 20 the bank.
ruptoy and distress Of the masses and 10
the heavy tributes that were being levied
ON them by money lenders.
There was a majority and minority
report on the platform-the former for
silver and the latter for gold. The
former was adopted by a vote Of 542 to
i2s.
The gold men failed 10 strike out the
unit rule governing delegates to Chi.
cago.

siderable discussion occurred m 10
whether to send forr or eight. II was
contended that IL four only were sent

would BE- disappointed.
The convention finally decided to send
