A Good Story Illustrating the Democratic
Popuiist Fusion.
In the Democrat Populist fusion in
this State, the Popnlists are like the
small boy who had two cents and gave
them to a large boy who had three
cents, so that the larger boy could buy
them a five cent partnershipcigar. The
cigar was purchased and the big boy lit
and began smoking it as he went down
the street followed by the small fellow.
After he had watched the consuming Of
the partnership stock for awhile, the lit
tie fellow said: .Look here, amt q
partner in that smoker" "Why, Of
course your are, said the large chap.
..Well, then, where do I come in?, said
the minority shareholder. And the re:
ply he got was, why, you can spit. !"
AS the smallest half Of the firm turned
and dissolved the partnership, he said {:
well, next time will know enough to
buy two stoggies and do my own smok-
ing" We see by the Petersburg pa
pers that the Populists have already an.
Piled to the courts for the superintendent
OF q receiver and an injunction. They
thought 1t best to do SO before the cigar
was lit. and perhaps feared that their
dividend would come in the shape Of So.

!" You Don't Become
a Slave to their Use!''

The above words have been
truthfully spoken concerning DIR.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets by one
who has had abundant opportunity
to observe their more favorable ac-
ton as compared with that of other
pills.
Most pills and medicines in use
for constipation, in the long run,
make a bad matter worse" I'm
like such agents, DR.. Pierce's Pei
lets exert such a tonic or strength
-ening effect upon the membranes
of the stomach and bowels, as to
produce lasting benefit. Their use
can, therefore, be gradually discon-
tinued. With most pills the longer
they are taken, the more dependent
upon their use the patient becomes.
Not so with the " Pellets" 11ez,
secondary effect is to keep the bow
Z els open and regular, not to further
.constipate. Hence, their great
popularity with sufferers from hab-
itual constipation.
The Pellets cure costiveness, or
constipation, biliousness, sick and
bilious headache, dizziness, sour
stomach, loss of appetite, coated
tongue, indigestion, or dyspepsia,
windy belchings, heartburn, /"
pain and distress after eating, and
kindred arrangements of the liver,

FATHER YORKE SPEAKS,
The Chancellor Writes of Civil Gov
ernment and the Catholic
Church,

Rev. Father Yorke submits the follow
ing in answer to a recent communication
of DR.. Wendte:
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. Is, 1896.
To the Editor of The CaH-DEAR SIR: Until
to-day have not had an opportunity to give
to DR.. Wendte's letter on civil government and
Catholicism that study which it deserves The
delay has been unav oidable. In the first place
I have been compelled to attend to other
points of the controversy, and in the second
place have found it necessary to verify the
quotations which DR.. Wendte scattered so pro-
fuselv over his letter.
DR.. Wendtes contention is that according to
Catholic doctrine the State is subordinate to
the church and that Catholics can be patriots
only by being ignorant or illogical. That we
are both ignorant and illogical DR.. Wendte he
lieyes. and therefore he reaches the comforting
conclusion that American institutions are in
no danger from our disloyalty.
This appreciation of our position is certainly
not tiattering. do not regret, however, that
it has been made public. Catholics may now
see the necessity of some such discussion az
the present when a master in Israel can assoil
us oftreason only by tainting us with heresy.
If the minister of cultured congregation un-
der the very shadow of our university knows
so little about US and our teaching what shall
we expect from the illiterate orators who infest
Metropolitan Temple? If such things be done
in the green wood, what shall be done in the
dry?
In the very beginning of this letter wish
TO say that DR.. Wendte knows absolutely moth
ing of the Catholic teaching concerning the
relations OF the civil government and the
church. This may seem a very harsh and q
very sweeping assertion, but put 1t forward
with thorough realization of what the words
mean. l impute no blame TO Dr. Wendte for
not knowing the teaching of Catholicism on
TINS point. only blame him for writing on a
subject OF which he is ignorant.
CONTROVERSIAL METHODS.
Your readers may remark, Mr.. Editor, that
the men who undertake to prove that Catho-
lies hold the supremacy of the church over the
state never refer to Catholic works dealing
with the subject. We have thousands and

Receipt.
The police are searching for a clever
young swindler who managed to obtain
$40 from the housekeeper of Mrs. Chris
man, 315 Mason street, by representing
himself as the son of 7. P. Riordan, the
real estate agent on Market street.
About a week ago Mrs. Chrisman went
north on a visit, leaving instructions with
her housekeeper to pay her months rent
of $40 when Mr.. Riordan called lor it.
The day after Mrs Chrisman's departure
a young man called at the house and pre-
sented bill for the rent. He said he was
Mr.. Riordan's s son, and as the bill was cor
rect the housekeeper paid it and took a
Teceipt.
Two days later Mr.. Riordan called for
the rent, and on being shown the receipt
he pronounced it forgery and said he had
not authorized his son or any other person
to collect the rent. The police are of the
opinion that the swindler was familiar
with the affairs of Mr.. Riordan's office
and as Mrs. Chrisman's housekeeper was
able TO give good description of him it is
expected that he will soon be under arrest

This dishonesty we would expect from Bow

however that men who would make an attack
on Catholicism are reduced to forgery and
misrepresentation for their weapons. The fact
OF the matter is that there is nothing in the
CathoHc teaching concerning church and state
winch conflicts with American ideas. We have
no need OF sacrificing our logic to preserve our
patriotism. From start to finish, Catholic the
ology and Catholic philosophy are consistent.
