Rome, Dec. 2o.-It is asserted here that potificial document concerning religious matters in America has been dispatched to Cardinal Gibbons and will be published in Europe as soon as it reaches him. Although dealing prin- cipally with local customs and modes of action in conformity with the relig- ious liberty accorded in the United States the document it is understood, warns Catholics against the danger of certain unorthodox regulations touching matters of conscience, such as were advanced by certain commentators up- on "The Life of Father Hecker" and the dangers of doctrines like that of human evolution upheld by Dr. Zahn.

AN TNJUDTCIOUS GOYERNOR.

1t appears that Governor Ellerbe Of
South Carolina isn't as good a south
erner as President Mckinley, and he
isn't as popular in his own State lust
now, The only Confederate veteran of
the rebellion appointed by Governor
Ellerbe is chaplain, and most of the
youths commissioned by him are not
military experts. President Mckinley
has appointed ex-senator Butler Of
South Carolina, Fitzhugh Lee of Vir-
ginia and Joseph Wheeler of Alabama,
all ex-Confederate generals, to be ma
jor generals In the volunteer army
and has looked we'll after the South in
other appointments. The Charleston
News and Courier has this to say:
President Mckinley, an old Union SOL
der, a Northern man, Republican of
the straitest sect, with the whole coun-
try to choose from, selected three old
Confederate soldiers, three Southern
men, three democrats, TO represent the
country in the highest military office,
that of major general, at his disposal.
In addition to these he has appointed
other old Confederate soldiers and
Democrats to the rank of brigadier
general. He made these appointments
because he wished to show his respect
for the South and the Confederate SOL
diers, because he wished the country to
have the benefit of their experience and
approved leadership. Governor Ellerbe
passed by every old Confederate SOL
der in the State in filling the places at
| his disposal.
1t is evident that Governor Ellerbe
has made a mistake in this matter, and
it is equally evident that President Nc
| Kinley hasn't.

4 VIEW AND raEsH COLONEL.

William J. Bryan made rather i'm
pressive show as new and fresh col
onel until he opened his mouth and
spake at Omaha. Then the show van
ished and the kind of colonel William
]. Bryan is stuck right out. He stood
up, clothed and proud In his new uni
form, and said: Nebraska, standing
midway between the oceans, will con-
tribute her full share toward the pro-
lection of our sea coast. Her sons will
support the flag at home and abroad.
Whenever the honor and the interests
of the nation may require, Nebraska
will hold up the hands of the govern
ment while the battle RACES, and when
the war clouds roll away her voice will
be heard pleading for the maintenance
of those ideas which inspired the
founders of our government and gave
the nation it's proud eminence among
the nations Of the earth. If others
turn to thoughts of ACKNOWLEDGMENT,
and yield allegiance to those who
clothe land-covetousness in the attrac-
tive garb of national destiny" the
people of Nebraska, if I mistake not
their sentiments, will place themselves
on the disclaimer entered by congress,
and expect that good faith shall char
acterize the making of peace as 1t did
the beginning of war.
Colonel Bryan mistakes "the senti-
ments' of the people of Nebraska and
the people of any and all of the other
States and territories If he thinks they
admire political colonies who use their
places as he has used his. 1t will be
time enough for Colonel Bryan to pub
licly advise his government when he
has become "a veteran" At present
his chief duty is to obey orders and
keep his mouth tightly and respectfully
closed,

rs IN Il JOKE?

We notice that one of our esteemed
local contemporaries delicately speaks
of something which has come to light
during the Vaughan hearing as a
"joke." This was the naming of in
fants born in Mrs. Vaughan's "lying-in
hospital" after a. man who has been
conspicuous and efficient in efforts to
improve New Haven, and who in the
course of his efforts has disturbed Mrs.
Vaughan and her business. The people
of New Haven have an uncommonly
lively and acute sense of humor, but
we don't believe they look upon this
performance as joke. And we do be-
lieve that they look on it as indecent
and dastardly. Moreover, some of them
are asking what has been going on here
that such spitefully base deed should
seem to have encouragement in places
where it would be reasonable to expect
a due regard for public and private de-
cency.

THE FIERY ORDEAL OF FIJI.
Inexplicable Performances of Natives

IneXplicable Performances of Natives
in Red-Hot oven.
The Island of Benga, where the fiery
ordeal takes place, was the supposed
residence of some of the old gods of
Fiji, and was therefore considered a
sacred land. Naturally, also, it's chiefs
took high rank. First of ALL it is neces-
sary to explain the natives lovo, or
oven, in which the nasawe root is
baked. This oven is merely more or
less circular hole or hollow dug and
prepared in the ground with a diameter
of from eighteen feet to twenty-four
feet. The oven is next filed with rough
logs of firewood, piled up nine or ten
feet. On the logs are placed great
number of water-worn stones, varying
in weight from eight pounds or ten
pounds to one one hundredweight. 1t
may here be explained that the
masawe is a Dracaena, with fibrous
roots as large as yam, and full of SUI
gar. These roots are baked in the lovo
for four days. The fire for the ordeal
is lighted in the musawe oven before
daybreak, and burns for several hours
that is to say, until all the stones on
the top, big and little, have fallen
through into the hole and become al
most white with heat. Then, of course,

stopping at the same hotel charming
American woman with whom he was
slightly acquainted. The prisoners
had been liberated and were rushing
madly through the streets. The order
had also been given that all windows
and shutters must be kept closed. Shut
in her dark room and hearing the noisy
rabble below the woman became great

"There is but one thing for me to
do" she cried, ito insure safety. I will
put myself under the care of the
American general"
She therefore sent her card to Sheri-
dan, who at once called and offered
his services. He also advised that she
should join his party in the morning
and get away to London. Still she ap-
peared distressed. Finally she cried:

German book-production during the
last forty years is the subject of an
article in the Leipsic Borsenblatt. In
the first five years of the forty, viz,
from 1856 to 1860, only A. 1893 new books
appeared; while in the last five years,
1891 to 1885, no fewer than 109,7SS were
published, nearly two and a half times
as many. Architecture, engineering,
and the healing art have the largest
share in this increase, their output be-
ing more than fourfold greater; books
in military science were almost three
and three quarter-fold more numerous;
manufacturers and trade show an in
crease of about three and a quarter
fold; while legal and political science
have exactly tripled in number.
