In discussing the Cuban question the

If the indications OF foul play were not
very evident on the body, Consul General
Lee would not have taken the position
lie did in his dispatch to MIR. Olney.
Thus is Spanish cllivalry illustr ated His

George T. Edn,nds thinks are conlpe-

arc not competent, being mostly litter
ate llali-breeds and negroes, Ii the Gu
bans, are illiteratc the responsibility is
upon Spain. for Spain has had the con-
troll OF government and education in Gu
ba Tor hundreds OF years. They are
mostly ilIiteratc. They have been robbed
BY Spain not only Of their possessions
and deSpoijed OF their liberty, but have
been defraudcd as we'll OF the means OF
education. But ;lliterate as the mass of
them may be- they arc yet UNNECESSARILY
the supcriors Of the Spanish savages in
every respect, including courage, prowcss
on The field, and intelligence. Men who
will battle as the Cubans have done and
are doing deserve better things from the
boosted land oil liberty than sneers at
their lack OF education, whe, this lack in
itself is one count in the long indictment
against Spain.

HARD ON FATHER PHELAN.

| The Memphis Catholic Journal says:
Rev Father Lambert. who is the friend
Of Cuba and every other nation strug-
Cling for freedom from tyrannical op-
preston, calls the attention OF Father
Phelat1, OF the Western Waterman, to the
brutality OF Spain. The St. Louis editor
priest like the Jes,lts, is rabid advocate
OF Spanish misrule III Cuba, and opposed
to the brave people so manfully fighting
| ior independence But this is nothing
new for Father Phclan: he never was on
| the right side OF any question. Let HIM
read this dispatch and see ii lie can con-
tinue to i,ldorse the Spanish brutalities.

the Scinitar, any particular harm to per
use it also:
"Artemisa, Feb. 1.-The column OF Col.
Estrucf brought into town yesterday
upon returning from Cayajabos, ten or
pllan children OF both sexes, who had
been captured wandering in the noun-
| tains near rebel settlement which had
just been wiped o,lt Of existence. At
| public sale, i'll the plaza OF 4Artemisa, to-
| day, these children were auctioned oft by
one OF Col. Estruc,'s sergeants. A ma
jority OF them being girls OF from 10 to
! ID years, the bidding was lively, the buy
! ers being mostly women OF low repute.
The oldest OF the victims, a beautiful lit

| by a woliiall who is known throughout
Cuba.'
| It was contending against such r,,f'ia11-
| 1y outlaws as these that Maceo lost his
life, and against whom Generals Gomez

Marion kendrlck, the correspondent OF

! local priest OF Arteinisa, not only filed a
protest with the mayor and military COM
nar,dai1t, but went at once to Havana
and informed the bishop. Through the

two days later directing the mayor to re
cover the orphans. but no word Of repri-
,nand went to Col Estruch for permit

adoption OF the children into respectable

will enter an orphan asylum under 'reli-

Where Mines Grow.

OF late years Silver production has OUT

affairs exists in the now renowned Koo-
tenai Country. While silver predomi-

streams have placer gold In paying guam

found and coal also, at some places.
The recent development Of this re-

Washington has been phenomenal.
Mines of exceeding richness, from the
grass roots down, have been opened all
over the mountains; railroads have been
built into and through the country:
steam boat lines on the lakes and rivers
have been increased and expanded. and
towns sprung up as II by magic.
The country is good for rich or poor,
the climate is mild and bracing, and the
scenery grand beyond description.
Among the prominent mining camps
are Rossland. Nelson, Ainsworth, Kaslo,
SLOGAN, Salmon River, Carlboo and Deer
Pork.
The mountains are well tinhe7ed rom

SILVER'S FUTURE.

Gen. r. Brinkcri1otI, president of the
Mansfield OOhio( Savings Bank, is an
old-time free silver man. He is one Of
the few extensive bankers who favor the
free coinage of silver As long ago as

New York, i'll which he advocated most
earnestly the free coinage OF silver and
predicted the financial depression which
has since been suffered unless such re-
form was adopted. In the last campaign
Gen. Brinkerhoh was an enthusiastic
supporter of the Democratic national
ticket, and is today more impressed than
ever with the wisdom OF a liberal treat

Nov we put it. to our Belfast friends,

4S Kathleen street, Templen,ore avenue,
whether it is better to have an educated

lation. Will he remember that the CATH
olics are threc-fou1tls of the people OF
ireland; that Catholicism is the old re-
ligon OF the country that the Protestants
in Ireland have been mostly invaders. OF
SETTLERS, and that it is of the very essence
OF Catholicism that her schools should
be under the control OF her spiritual
guides: Now, Trinity College has ex-
elusive Protestant theological chairs,
which at once makes it a denomination

Tories arc right in deciding to set tip a
Catholic university in Ireland principally

TEMPTING GOD.
Synopsis of Father Cieary's Sermon
of Last Sunday.

Synopsis of Father Cieary's Sermon
Of Last Sunday.
In his sermon of last Sunday, Father
Cleary in effect said:
One Of the most remarkable scenes re-
corded in sacred scriptures Is the one in
the fourth chapter of St. Matthew, in
which Satan is represented as tempting
Christ"
We are almost shocked at the very
thought Of Christ, the eternal Son Of
God, being tempted. In this case the
word temptation must not be understood
as meaning that Christ @could be Sc
duced to do evil. The devil only sought
to try him, to crafty his own curiosity,
perhaps, and see if something extraor-
binary would I've done by the power Of
the Almighty for his special satisfaction.
We may be shocked all the more, if
we reflect that many people IN the world,
even those who profess to believe in
Christ and God, are guilty Of doing what
they condemn as so insolent in the spirit
of evil, namely, guilty Of tempting
Cod Men tempt God when they are
not content with accepting his way Of
governing the world, but are ever seek
manifestations Of divine power. We hear
restless and disobedient men daily ask
ing the question. why does not God do
this or why does He not do that, why
has he commanded this, or forbidden
that, all amply for tho purpose Of d.
verting their own attention from what is
their plain duty to do, namely, "adore
the Lord, God, and serve Him alone
Another class te1npts God. tries his pa
thence, when they rashly expose them
selves to evil influences and presume on
infinite goodness of God to strengthen
them with ample grace to resist dangers
to which they should not expose them
selves God helps those who help
themselves" We have no right TO in
suit God by hoping that he vii! work
miracles to save us from the ruin that we
can easily avoid If we will. "He that
loveth danger shall perish therein" The
druilkard will fall into his vile habit OF
drunkenness If h. exposes himself to tine
immediate danger OF drink. God will
give every man ample grace to resist
evil if he only does his part and shNns
the danger.
Another class tempts God by living in
sin and making no effort to repent Of
their evil ways, Or to make good the
wrong they have done, ever hoping that
God VIII not desert them at the last
moment and that may love evil through
life and repent at the moment Of death.
Thou shalt not tempt the Lord. thy
Cod" Use the ordinary nlenas of saliva
ton and God will sustain and strengthen
you.
