rose to eclipse with its opacity the
bright sun that rose at the Columbian
exposition in that remarkable congress
Of religions with its promise Of re-
ligious unity Of purpose and univer-
salty OF tolerance.
1t denounced Roman Catholicism as
the inveterate enemy of freedom, the
unyielding foe of the common school,
the traitor within our gates secretly
plotting for the overthrow of the re-
public. 1t pointed to the arrival Of
Mgr. Satolli as proof positive of the
ripening of the plot. 1t scented danger
everywhere; transformed the cellars of
Catholic institutions Of piety or learn
ing into arsenals in which were being
gathered stores Of arms and munitions
against the day when the pope should
touch the bell that would be the signal
for another st. Bartholomew. 1t rev.
eled in the creations of fevered and
crazed Imagination. And it has COM
pletely died away. 1t ran its course
fiercely and quickly.
If anywhere it's enbers shoulder,
that has happened since the outbreak
of war with Catholic Spain that should
extinguish them forever. If the tie of
religion is stronger than that Of coun-
try; il the sympathies of a common
faith should make common the cause
of those who hold it; if the pope were
waiting the opportunity to smite re-
publican institutions, then we should
now see indications Of it. True, the
pope did endeavor to prevail upon
Spain to avoid war; did prevail upon
Sagasta to make concessions that
brought the Spanish dynasty to the
brink of revolt; but since war became
inevitable he has only expressed his
sorrow that human passion should
countervail the precepts Of the Prince
of Peace.
But American Catholics have not
been silent The most fanatical Apaist
in the land cannot fault their speech
and actions. They have shouldered the
musket quite as Loyalty as any mem
Der of the A. P. A. And Satollrs sue
cessor, Mgr. Martinelli, is said to have
Endorsed the letter of Catholic bishop
addressed to his clergy declaring them,
as members of the Catholic church,
loyal to our country and our flag and
obedient to the highest DEGREES of the
supreme authority of the nation 1t
declares that 1--WE are now united as
one man against foreign enemy and
a common foe," although that foreign
foe and common enemy are fellow
churchmen, and it closes with an ad-
Duration to faithfully beg the God of
battles to crown their (our soldiersO
arms on land and sea with triumph"
The charges of Apaism have met their
test, and they collapse under it like the
mere bubbles they were.

Our Local PodsraD.

McCdrdy-tnere Is but one McCardy,
as there is but one Mrs. Astor-is the
most bumptious Individual outside Of
the books, and Podsnap is his only
equal there. He disposes of all ques-
tons with that same sweep of the
arm with which Podsnap settled every
thing. His Office is that of comptroller;
to him it is that of controller AS
comptroller, he has to do with figures,
accounts, ADULTS; as controller every
thing is within his domain. He acts
up to his conception of his office There
is but one controller, and he is McCar-
dy; there is but one McCardy, and he
is controller; and there you have it.
In those confidential moments that
come to such men when they lose them
selves in admiration of themselves,
McCardy marvels how st. Paul got
along before he came to the comp
trollership, and he signs for the fate
of the poor city when, at last, implaca-
BILE death comes along and takes him
from "our midst"

Just now, some who think they know

school revenue problem. To McCardy
1t is as simple as the easiest in the
three Rs. There is so much property

two and a half mills on the dollar can
be levied on that valuation for school
purposes. That will provide so much
money to be used in paying teachers,
engineers, janitors and repair men.
Take out enough first for the janitors.
next for the engineers, next for the
repair men. Then apportion what is
left among the teachers. Marvelously
simple is this problem for financiers
like McCardy.
Raise more money? That's all ROT"
Increase the property valuation so

Better Think This Over.

City Treasurer Horst proposes to the
common council departure from
customary methods. He is required by
law to give bond for the safe keeping
of the public funds that come into his
custody. and the amount of the bond
is half a million dollars. Usually
flduciary officers get bondsmen from
among their friends and acquaintance,
who thereby guarantee, to the extent
of liability Individually assumed, the
Integrity and accuracy of their prin-
cipal and that Of his subordinates. No
signer of such bonds ever expects that
he will be called on to respond to his
obligation; but it has occasionally hap
pened that their confidence was mis-
placed, and fortunes have been impair
ed, where they have not been entirely
swept away, through the dishonesty of
the principal in the bond
The effect of the law is that the Of
ficer and his bondsmen insure the pub
lie fund against loss. The bond is the
contract of insurance. The public offers
the position with its compensation, and
makes the giving of security the con-
dition of receiving the commission 1t
is to be assumed that the applicant
takes this requirement into account in
accepting the place, just as he con-
templates, in the case Of an elective Of
ice, the payment of sundry election eX-
penseS. He accepts the condition with
the nomination and election Until now
these officers have furnished the bond
and paid whatever expense was in
CURED in getting it. Mr. Horst pro-
poses two changes, one of which is I'M
portant. He wishes to be allowed to
give the obligation of surety companies.
instead of individuals, and he wants
the public to pay the premium charged
by the company, amounting in his case
to some $1,700. In the absence of any
express warrant for appropriating this
sum for that purpose out of the public
treasury. he suggests that it can be
taken from the mayors contingent
fund.
AS to the acceptance Of surety COM
pany instead of the customary individ-
uals there is no ground for serious OBJ
lection if the solvency of the company
Is unquestionable. AS to the payment
of the premium out Of the public money
IiiCiS are serious uOuOtS, DOtn as to
its policy and legality, and Mr.. Albrecht
did we'll to have the matter laid over
until the latter point, at least, might
be investigated. AS to the policy, it is
open to the objection that if the treas
urer is thus favored all fiduciary Off
GERS who have to give bonds are also
entitled to the same gratuity, for that
is what it amounts to. 1t is uuestiona-
bic whether this will result in making
nominating conventions or appointing
officers any more careful than now in
demanding reputation for integrity
as prerequisite to selection, and thew
are now Indifferent enough The prac-
teal effect of the adoption of Mr..
Horst's proposition will be to make the
taX-paying public the primary insurer
OF the safety of the funds, which risk
it reinsures in the surety companies and
escapes liability by paying the pre-
MUM The proposition opens such a
variety of considerations, among which
we admit are plausible reasons in it's
favor, that elaboration before decision
will be wise.

Come From the Arabic.

From the New York Times.
A contemporary complains Of "rear ad-
mirar' as an inept; title for man so emf
nently qualified fer keeping in front as in the
conqueror Of Manila The point is not ill
taken. but designations of rank are queer
any way, and few of them will stand much
examination by philologists. And admiral"
itself, which this critic claims for his hero,
is about the queerest of the lot. The word
is the remnant Of an Arabic phrase, of which
the beginning was "ameer'' or ''emir,' and
tod!-straight from Spain "Amir-aI-bahr"
meant ruler of the sea-" When the "bahr"
was dropped, of course, the article should
have gone, too but it didn't, and when some
overwise person but in I'D" because he
thought he knew the word was Latin. it be-
came as absurd mudde as the dictionary
