FATHER MATURIN.
The Former Episcopal Clergy
man Joins a Roman
Catholic Order.

Information received in private letters
from England is to the effect that the
Rev. Father B. w. Maturin, formerly a
priest in the Episcopal church, we'll
known in New York City and Philadel-
phia, is about to enter the Roman Catho-
lie Order of the Oratory, a community
whose houses are located at Birmingham
and Brompton, England. The Rev. Mr.
Maturin will be the first clergyman con-
nected with the American Episcopal
church to become all Oratorian.
For number of years the Rev. Father
Maturin occupied a prominent place on
this side of the Atlantic. He was born
in Ireland, the son of an able Irish cler-
gyrian, and joined the order of the Cow
ley Fathers, missionary priests of the
Anglican church, at Cowley, England.
When branch of the order was founded
in this country, under the name of the
Society of Mission Priests of St. John the
Evangelist, with headquarters in Boston,
Father Maturin was sent to America.
He remained with the other members
of the community in Boston until the So
ciety secured control of St. Clements
church, Philadelphia, when he became
rector of that parish. He was recognized
as powerful preacher and a theologian
of remarkable attainments. He left the
United States after a time and returned
to the community house at Cowley, and
about two years ago joined the Roman
Catholic faith, move which he had
threatened to make on many occasions
while here.
The congregation of the Oratory was
founded by Philip Neri, who was after
ward canonized, in the middle of the six
teenth century. In 1847 Cardinal John
Hep-y Newman established a-congrega-
ton of the order at Birmingham and two
years later another congregation was es-
tablished in London by the Rev. DR..
Frederick W. Faber, which was subse-
quently settled at Brompton. Each conf
munity is wholly independent of the
other and neither has any substantial re-
lation with the houses ON the Continent
of Europe.
1t was the principal of the founder of
the order that there should be perfect
equality among its members, even the
superior taking his turn in serving at the
table. The members are not monks and
do not renounce their private fortunes.
Their functions are limited to prayer, the
administration of the holy sacrament and
preaching. In Cardinal Newman's time
the membership was composed mostly Of
priests who had formerly been in the
church of England, and that complexion
is largely retained up to the present. II
is understood that Mr.. Maturin will unite
with the community at Brompton.

yellow dodger, calculated to create bad
feeling between the masses of the people
and mislead few into voting for the
Republican nominee.
The Kentucky Irish American inter-
viewed many persons who had received
or been shown the circular, and all said
it would fail of its purpose and result in
renewed effort to bring out every voter
whom it was intended to mislead.
Others of like nature, without sigma
ture or authority, may be looked for, and
we would suggest that they pay no atten-
ton to them. The author or authors of
the above reprehensible act have no con-
ception of honorable politics. They are
unworthy of further notice.

representatives of the Irish people are the
lines of the old Parnellite party as it ex-
listed before 1890. Now, put the ques-
ton with confidence to everyone who
calls himself Parnellite in Ireland to-
day-is he content, or is he not, to go
back to the precise lines of the old Par
nellite party before 1902 What more
does he want than the old Parnelite pol
icy, and if we accept that policy then l
fail to see where the difference comes in
between us. l take it as great advance
in Irish politics that the leaders on either
side can now reason out the mztter in
sober and rational language.
Last year Mr.. Redmond made an APP
peal to me in a speech which he delivered
i'll Waterford from which gathered that
if the answer were i'll the affirmative le
would be prepared to enter into nego-
tiations for reunion. He made an APP
peal to me and he said it was my duty as
the leader of the largest section of the
Irish Nationalist representatives to go to
the leaders of the Liberal party and ask
them for pledges that they still main
tanned the same position Regarding home
rule as they did under Mr.. Gladstonc's
leadership. Well, the first question ask
is, who are the leaders of the Liberal
party and who will be the leaders of the
Liberal party after the next general cleo
tion1 He will be an exceedingly clever
man who will tell ME that. don't know.
The next objection that have to the pro-
posal of Mr.. Redmond is that l never
heard of responsible politician who
sought t. base his policy on the pledes of
the leaders of a party in opposition, be-
cause you never can tell what will become
of party in opposition when it comes
gave you pledges in opposition may find
when they come into power that they are
entirely unable to redeem the pledges,
either from the opposition of colleagues or
from the fact that they have not been
called to the leadership which they ex-
pected to possess.
Furthermore, l decline to make any at
tempt to extract pledges from the lead
ers, if we could find them, of the Liberal
party that they will remain faithful to
the policy to which they are already
pledged over and over again, because l
decline to base the future of the Irish
cause on the pledges of any English
Ministers. think it would be deceiving
the people of Ireland if we were to ask
for these pledges now, for have told the
people of Ireland over and over again
that their only chance of obtaining home
rule lies not in the pledges of English
Ministers, and still less in the pledges of
leaders of party in opposition, but in
the fact of their own solidarity, and that
their vote is commodity worth having.
l say therefore in reply to Mr.. Redmond
that the true policy for us to pursue is to
devote our attention, not to the eddies
and turns of English politics, but to the
building up again a united party in Ire
land which will plant upon the floor of
the House of Commons eighty-two Irish
members who will support any party in
England that will faithfully, honorably
and Loyalty carry our that policy.

THE CoUNTRY's FINANCES.
Hearing Before Ban king Committee Con
tinued Yesterday.

Washington, January 13.-The hear
ing on the monetary commission IN
behalf of it's bill for currency re-
form was resumed before the banking
and currency committee today. Mr.. Bash
OF Alabama, who was heard yesterday
gave an additional explanation. He
urged the case of redemption under the
plan of the committee. The examination
of Secretary Fairchild was suspended.
Mr.. Cox of Tennessee, propounded
series of questions to Mr. Fairchild.
Technically Mr.. Fairchild agreed with
Mr.. Cox that the silver certificates were
simply warehouse certificates. He said
that but practically they fulfilled all the
functions of any other class of money.
Under the commissions plan the banks
could redeem notes in lawful money Tbs
commission had discussed the ACCESSIBILITY
of compelling gold redemption by the
banks, but the objection was that gold
redemption by banks would immediately
place greater burden on the treasury by
discriminating against a class of govern
ment legal tender money. Under this
plan the only methods of the banks to
obtain gold would be by the presentation
of silver. The greenbacks would be out
of existence. So that If the outstanding
silver did not suffice to procure enough
gold from the treasury for the redemption
of its notes, the banks would be compelled
to procure gold elsewhere. He denied
that the government could be forced to
redeem indirectly all the bank notes in
gold.
Representative Cox asked what law en-
powered the government to exercise the
supervisory authority involved In the Dill
over the banks.
MIR. Eairchild said that was a constltu-
tonal question that he had not inquired
into.
"Then you defend the doctrine that
Congress can change contracts?'
Congress has absolute authority in the
matter. -
Mr.. Robert S. Taylor of Fort Wayne,
Ind, spoke IN behalf of the bill prepared
by the monetary commission. In the
course Of his statement he said: The
nearest approach we have had to stable
monetary conditions since 1868, was
during the few years following the re-
sumption of specie payments in 1879.
Since then the silver agitation has opened
questions more threatening than those
which preceded. There is no way to end
such agitation while the subject remains
open. For five years the business OF this
country has been under strain. Inc
beating of free silver has relieved it only
for the moment. The inherent weakness
of tho system will remain while the
money of the country and its standard Of
its value continue to be the subject of
party strife, and liable to change at any
session of Congress. This bill enacted in
to law will afford the people sense Of
security, andsa sense of confidence which
is the whole bible Of finance"
Mr.. Taylor had not concluded when the
hearing went over until tomorrow.
Chairman Walker gave dinner tonight
to the monetary commission, the mass
delegation, and the mem bers Of the bank
ing and currency committee. Secretary
Gage was among the guests.

WEAVERS WILL STRIKE.
Lewiston Operators Claim Their Cut
Amounts to so Per Cent.

WEAVERS WILL STRIKE.
Amounts to so Per Cent.
Lewiston, January 18.-Five hundred
weavers Of the Androscoggin mill met at
Central Union hall this evening and vot-
ed unanimously to go out Monday, jar.
uary II, the date ON which the reduction
takes place. = The operatives say that they
are willing to work under the horizontal
10 per Lcent cut, but. that their chief
ground of complaint is that the number
of looms assigned to =. individual weavers
has been in most instances reduced.
Therefore the out, SO they say, affects
some weavers to- the. extent of 30 per cent.
The mule spinners' union Of the dis
trict of Lewiston and Auburn at their
meeting here this evening voted almost
unanimously MOTTO strike on January
II. This..action was taken according to
instructions received in letter from
national secretary Samuel Ross of New
Bedford, who asked them not to strike
until the difficulty at New Bedford had
been adjusted.
The action of the weavers at the An
droscoggin has occasioned considerable
surprise for the general feeling in the
city during the past week has been that
all the operatives would accept the cut
with the hope that conditions would i'm
prove in the spring After tie meeting
of the weavers tonight all those who
talked of the situation were very cheer
full and seemed disposed to congratulate
each other on the stand they have taken.
One Of the press COMMITTEES said: "We
have quite bit of money behind us and
we can stand a. two or even a three
months strike. 1t will be better to en-
dure that.than accept the wages the cor
poration offers. We can get all the help
we want and we shall not suffer"
The mill managers in general deplore
the action of the weayers. 1t is not
thought that the operatives in the other
corporations will follow the Androscog-
gin weavers out.

IN THE SENATE.

Washington, January 13.-Among the
measures reported to the Senate toward
the pension appropriation bill. 1t was
placed on the calendar.
At the conclusion of tie morning bust
ness, the immigrant bill, the unfinished
business, was taken up, and Mr.. Gallery
of Louisiana, was recognized for q speech
in opposition to the measure He said
that no danger to our institutions has
ever arisen from admitting immigrants
who cannot read and write. This. gov
ernment is the outgrowth of the labor OF
countries Immigrants who would be dis
qualified by the pending bill. He who
is vigorous in body, sound in mind, hon
est and Industrious, is a good citizen.
'sNo immigrant. not n pauper or insane
or diseased or criminal, should be turned
away from our shores.
",This biu,'' continued Mr.. Gallery,
''is the cry of prescription and selfish
of protection. 1t is repugnant to Demo-
cracy in it's widest sense. 1t is a libel on
70, 600, 500 free men, whose ancestors, as
well as themselves, have welcomed to our
shores every son and daughter of toll.
The eulogies in memory of the late
Senator Isham G. Harris of Tennessee,
which were to have been presented today,
were presented at the request of Senator
Bate On account of the absence of his
colleague, Senator Turney They will
not be offered until after the election by
the legislature of Tennessee.

Mr.. Davis, chairman of the committee
on foreignsrelstions, went into executive
session. At Ais the Senate adjourned

WHO HAS LOST AN ovERCoAT.

The Biddeford Journal says: Yester :
day morning as the two o'clock Pullman
from Portland rolled into the Eastern
station, the engineer signalled to OHicer
Stuart, that there were three men on the
steps of the "blind baggage" The officer
went up to the end of the car and as the
brass buttons came in sight the three
men jumped off and scoored up the TRACK
at quick trot. The officers chased tnenl
for little ways and noticed thai tney
were well dressed and wore good looK! LI
overcoats, but they had too much 'he
start for him.
Yesterday information was received at

the party gave battle to these losses anu
made triumphant the will of tho masses
of the Republican party in the nomina-
ton of Vim. Mckinley for President Of
the United States. 1t is for this reason
that the American people rejoice today
that a man who dared to give battle TO
tie bosses in q national convention ana
to hurl them to defeat can still survive
with honor, and power and glory in
Ameri can life.
Mr.. Cannon, Republican of Illinois,
expressed his qualification over the cleo
ton of Senator Hanna. 1t was triumph
of the majority and of political decency.
gentlemen on the other side could honest-
" say that he was not glad.
Mr. Perkins, Republican Of Iowa, re-
yerting to the question OF seed d1strlbu-
sion. said he would like to see the pres
ent policy discontinued. The $751;
could be better expended for the benefit
of the farmer. If seeds were~ dill
buted for the purpose Of introducing new
plants the distribution would be justi-
lied.
Mr.. Robinson. Democrat of Indiana,
Delegate Callahan of Oklahoma, and
Mr.. Berry, Democrat Of Kentucky, sup
ported the appropriation. The latter
in course of his remarks made ami elo-
uuent appeal 80 the Republicans to allow
the Senate to vote on Cuban belliger-
ency. Autonomy WAS ID failure and it
was time for the United States to stretch
out a helping hand to those who were
struggling for liberty at her very shore.
Mr.. Fitzgerald, Republican of Massa-
ohusetts, opposed the distribution of seed.
Mr.. Bromwell, Republican of Ohio,
moved to strike out the appropriation
for general seed distribution.
Mr.. Wheeler, Democrat of Alabama,
in opposing the motion, said the men who
were seeking to take this from the farm
ers were the same who fastened the gold
standard upon the country.
1t was asserted by the opponents of Mr..
Bromwell'sss motion that the Opposition
to free distribution came from the big
seed companies of the country. The
amendment was defeated.
On motion of MIR. Ellis, Republican of
Oregon. an amendment was adopted en-
fitting live horses to the same right of in
specti1n as cattle and other animals. Mr..
Wadsworth, in charge of the bill, said
horse meat was now recognized as food
and he had no objection to the amend
ment.
Mr.. Clark, Democrat of Missouri.
moved an amendment appropriating
$3.50. 900 for the publication and distri-
button of $50, COO copies OF the horse book,
which was adopted, J15-l04. The bill
was reported to the House without fur
ther amendment, whereupon Mr.. Wads
worth moved an adjournment. Those
who favored another edition of.that piece
of agriculture literature resisted the mo-
ton, but on an aye and nay vote liz -
ia, the House adjourned at $50.
