The government Indian school at
! Carlisle, Pa, celebrated last week the
twentieth anniversary of it's founda-
! ton. But it has not yet begun to cell
! citrate the establishment of religious
! liberty within its bounds, because Cap
tain Pratt will allow no Catholic In
! dian subject to its authority to serve
God according to the dictates of his
conscience. II is the last public insti-
tuition in which religious liberty is
openly and defiantly violated.
The feature of the debate in the
! British House of Parliament TUESDAY,
] of last week was a, bitter attack upon
! the administration by the Irish MEM
bers. Davitt and Redmond We're par
ticularly bitter. They charged that
every civilized nation was CRYING
| shame against England. The latter
/ declared that the blood of every man
killed in the Transvaal was upon
! Chamberlain's head. For this remark
| Mr.. Redmond was forced to tender an
apology.
Says the Catholic Transcript: 1T is
a. unfair and dastardly shuff1ing to
say that the Catholic press of the coun-
! try has entered protest against the
] necessary occupation of the Philippine
churches by the American troops. What.
the Catholic papers reprobate is the
unnecessary looting of churches, graves
and tabernacles. The authorities at
Washington can stop these outrages,
and If Catholics who are in position
to be heard are outspoken in their con-
demnation the vandalism will stop"

The United States navy was without
a Catholic chaplain until Cleveiands
second administration, though q major
ity OF the men were of the faith. In
March. 1888, Father Parks was appoint
ed. Since then Rev. William H. l..
Reaney and Rev. John p. Chadwick
! have been appointed, making but three
Catholic ca1aplainS out of a total of
twenty-four. Father Parks last assign
ment at sea was on the San Francisco,
the flagship of Admiral Howell, engag-
ed in the northern blockade of Cuba,
which included the port of Havana.
The recent unwilling of the statue
which has been erected to the founder
of the mission OF Loretto, in western
Pennsylvania, Father Gallitzin, the
second priest ordained in the United
States, reminds the Church Progress
that out on the Pacific Slope there
stands another monument to the MEM
DRY of Padre Junipero Sierra, o. S. F.,
still another at Detroit in honor of
Father Gabriel Richard, and yet an
other in Statuary hall, at the national
capital, in coGnmemoration of Pere
Marquette; and also moves it to ask,
simply for information sake, if We
have a public monument to any oppo-
sition preached of those olden days.

in the streets below thousands on
thousands of faithful followers of the
