WHEN DOCTORS DISAGREE.

The North Western Catholic and the
Western Waterman are as widely apart
as the poles on the language question
in this country. The former oracularly
says:
"Foreign-born Catholics will all too
soon take to the English language the
medium in our day of nasty newspapers.
yellow-covered novels, unclean adyer-
tisements, heretical sermons and intidel
lectures. The universal use of that Ian
guage in America requires no stimulat-
ing aid from the Pope, nor is it likely
to receive such aid. There is nowhere
in the gospel any mandate to the church
to become school master in English.
Christ commanded the church to teach
all nations not in English, but in such
language as they could understand; and
the ruling of his Holiness is simply the
definition and declaration of a right
which Catholics everywhere enjoy; the
right to worship God in the language
which they understand and which they
prefer to speak,
The Western Waterman, referring to
the recent papal decision, forcibly says:
"This is the most reasonable enact
ment; and the conditions at which it is
directed must be very unreasonable:
Did any one in his senses ever suppose
that this would ever be anything but
an English-speaking country? Did any
one ever suppose that German or any
other foreign tongue would continue to
be spoken here twenty-five years after
the cessation of immigration? The
trouble Is that interested people desire
by unfair and unlawful means to pro-
long the life of the foreign languages
beyond their allotted time We have al
ways demanded as a postulate of peace
that this country be regarded as an
English-speaking country This matter
is now settled by decree of Rome, and
further trouble ON that score is impossi-
ble."
Will John Bremen open his battery
of vituperation upon the Waterman as
and pompously say: 1T is cold
blooded, grotesque and ridiculous piece
of impertinence on the part of the West
ern Waterman to lecture the Germans
on their duty to their own children as
to the language they shall teach them:
and the Western Watchman does not
reflect the opinion of Irish-American
Catholics on this subject?" We opine
not. Perhaps John imagines that be-
cause his paper is labeled Catholic"

approving of it's circulation among the
faithful, that it is more orthodox than
its modest and unpretentious contem-
poraries. He should, however, as a
good Catholic, heed the utterance of the
Pope, or he may get communicated.
The Catholic Citizen, in reply to the
Irish Standard, said that 'tthe children

posed of ex-Protestants The president
was convert from Presbyterianism.
and the secretary was the son Of an
EpiscOpalian minister who entered the
Catholic fold forty years ago. The So
ciety is still in existence and has pub
lished series of pamphlets on Catho-
lie subjects for the enlightenment of
Protestants. Members of the society
donned their armor and entered the con-
troversial arena against the slanderous
ministers of the Protestant pulpits and
routed them horse, foot and dragons
The latter have preserved an edifying
attitude toward "Romanism" for several
years and the Catholic champions have
found themselves like Othello in conse-
quence. They have long since taken of
the harness and are now modestly rest
ing on their laurels. But for the first
year they were kept busy. AS soon as
one Protestant knight was knocked
"hors de combat" another took his
place. Finally they could not be got to
grapple with their "thri6e armed" antag-
onists, and peace now reigns on the
upper Mississippi.

tive genius of the Judge will all enter into
the question and affect the result.
We are making progress in the right d.
rectfGn now. Both legislatures and courts
have recognized in various ways the novel
" of the conditions presented by the ques-
lions at issue between labor and capital.
The admission implies the necessity of new
and suitable remedies. For example, II
has been declared more than once by
! courts of high authority that a body Of
workingmen have right TO quit their en-
ployment all at once and in concert II they
choose TO do so. 1t is questionable whether
the statement is true, even IN broad ana
liberal sense. and il certainly is not true in
the sense in which the words were used,
If we are to apply to the case the old rules
of the law. Strikers who quit work In a
body do not do il for the purpose of sever
ing the relations between them and their
employer. They want 10 remain In MS
employ, They are unwilling that others
shall take their places. They strike in or
der to compel him, by punishment, TO &C. ac-
upon 1t is not in accordance with the
old theories of law that one man has law
full right to force another to do an act
against his free will by threatening or in
hicting upon him loss of property or other
kind of punishment

ment which l have quoted can be justified
only by the assumption that the changed
conditions of society and business justify
some departure from old rules of conduct.
that the power of virtual compulsion which
has come into the hands of the employers
by the concentration of their numbers and
capital and which cannot be taken from
them nor controlled by law, creates ne
cessty for the admission of some right on
the part of employees to meet compulsion
by compulson is the only way open to
them. which is by organization ma pun
ishment of the employer. The" employer
says to the individual workingman; Come
TO my terms or go without your dinner.
The workingmen reply in body, Come to
our terms or you shut up your shop.
1T is a little startling to put the rropo-
siton in this bold way. but that is really
where we are to-day. Society approves the
punishment of employers by the organized
action of employees as legitimate way OF
securing justice, public opinion supports 1t
and courts and legislatures have begun to
recognize it. The only real question re-
naming is, Within what bounds and how
shall these harsh proceedings be restrained,
and how shall we substitute for this revived
wager of battle the orderly procedure OF
law?

troublesome Question Regarding the
Classification of Employees.

WASHINGTON, June "a. - The quick
growth of the street-car mail service which
within a short period has become estab-
lished in number of the large cities and
from whose development great results have
Injured in expediting the mails has created
a curious complication at the Postofiice
Department. The issue is as to under what
head the car employees are to be placed and
the result may be new classification pro-
viding separate designation for them.
In many cases the postal crews were de-
tailed from the railway mail service and in
a few cases from the postott1ce clerk force,
but the mushroom growth OF the system
has caused a serious drain on those forces
and numerous requests have been made for
additional men in both services Post
master Perkins, of Rochester, n. Y, &C
companied by Representative Brewster,
was at the PoStoffice Department yester-
tails to the new service and asked for more
help. Railway mail service officials hold
that the men should not be charged against
them without reinforcement in number,
while postmasters object unless their forces
are also augmented accordingly. First As
sistant Postmaster General Heath, Second
Assistant Shallenberser, superintendent OF
Frse Delivery Machen and eX-Postmaster
Harlow. of St Louis, now civil service
commissioner, havesconferred over the stu
alton and the matter IS giving the author
tiles some concern as TO what jurisdiction
these employees belong. There is no specific
appropriation for them. and II they do not
belong to either OF these services, then it
is suggested money ought not be taken
from the appropriations for these SER
vices The question is still pending, but
the adjustment Of the problem probably
soon will be reached.

Morgan's Annexation Bill.

WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator Morgan
to-day introduced bill for the annexation
of the Hawaiian islands. The bill pro-
vided that the islands shall become a ter
ritory of the United States in accordance
with the terms of the recently negotiated
treaty. The date set for the extension OF
the laws of this country over the Islands is
the 4th of March, 1898, but 1t is specifically
provided that they may be put in force at
an earlier day if Congress so directs. 1t
is also directed that the five commission
ers provided for by the new treaty to make
recomm endations to Congress in matters
pertaining TO Hawaii shall be confirmed by
the Senate. The bill appropriates 81 600 900
for the execution OF its provisions. Out Of
this sum the interest on the Hawaiian
debt is to be paid, but provision for the
payment Of the principal Of this debt is
deferred.
In reply to a question Senator Morgan
said that his bill intended to carry
the annexation treaty into execution in
case it should be ratified by the Senate or
TO provide for its ratification by the joint
action Of the two houses in case the Senate
should refuse to act. The treaty" said
the senator, can be ratified In this form
by a majority vote in each of the two
houses, thus avoiding the necessity for Sc
curing thirds of the Senate, would
be required if the matter should be passed
upon by that body alone" The senator
said that circumstances would determine
whether the bill should be pressed during
the present session of Congress.

Peru Must Pay.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-The State De-
partment has resolved to again press the
McCord claim upon the Peruvian govern
ment and try to bring it to a settlement.
The object sought is to secure an indemnity
of $4,000 for the i'll treatment of McCord,
who was an American consular agent at
Arequipa and also connected with a rail-
road company in Peru. During a revolution
McCord was seized and imprisoned and sen
fenced to be shot by the revolutionary ele-
ment that afterward obtained control of
the government. The State Department
has pressed the case at intervals on the
Peruvian government without avail, and
Secretary Olney last February directed
Minister Mackenzie to make a peremptory
demand for a settlement. There has been
no correspondence on the subject since.

dicted for alleged embezzlement of govern
ment funds, probably will be put on trial

rer to the indictments, and arguments are
likely to be heard next week. Kieckhoefer
claims he faithfully discharged his duties
that he did not have or receive from the
United States any Of the sums of money
specified and that he fully accounted for

ments against him-one in connection with
bursting clerk and the other as trust funds
