that meaning of the sacred dogmas is
perpetually to be retained which our
holy mother, the church, has once de-
clared, nor is that meaning ever to be
departed from under the pretense or
pretext of a deeper comprehension of
them. .'-Constituti de Eide Catholica,
chapter 4.
We cannot consider as altogether
blameless the silence which purposaly
leads to the omission or neglect of some
of the principles of Christian doctrine,
for all the principles come from the
same author and master, "the only be-
gotten Son, who is in the bosom of the
Father john j., IS. That they are
adapted to all times and all nations is
clearly seen from the words of our
Lord to His apostles: Go, therefore,
teach all nations; teach them to observe
all things whatsoever l have command
ed you, and behold. I am with you al
ways, even to the end of the world
Matt. xvii, 49,
Concerning this point the vatican
council says: "All those things are 10
be believed with divine and catholic
faith which are contained in the Word
of God, written or handed down, and
which the church, either by solemn
judgment or by her ordinary and uni
versal magisterium, proposes for be-
Lief as having been divinely revealed
--Const. de Eide, chap. iii.
Let it be far from any ones mind to
suppress for any reason any doctrine
that has been handed down. Such a
policy would tend rather to separate
Catholics from the church than to bring
in those who differ. There is nothing
closer to our heart than to have those
who are separated from the fold of
Christ to return to it, but in no other
way than that pointed out by Christ.
/. The Rule of Life.
The rule of life laid down for Catho-
lies is not of such a nature that it can
not accommodate itself to the exigen-
cies of various times and places. The
church has, guided by her divine Mas
tier, a kind and merciful spirit, Cor
which reason from the very beginning
she has been what st. Paul said of him.

time of the adjournment of the house
this afternoon none of these bills had
been returned to the Legislature, and
speculation is rife as to what action

that this bill will receive the veto of
the executive but he is reported to
have said to-day that he had not made
up his mind as to what he would do
This bill is the center cf interest about
the halls of the legislature, and the
probable disposition of it Is the subject

A Compromise on the Army Bill Agreed
Upon.
Washington Feb. 2S.-The administra-
tion and it's representatives in congress
have reached an agreement with the
minority in congress respecting the army
reorganization bill, which it is believed
will be satisfactory to all interests. 1t is
probable that the formal ratification of
the agreement between the majority and
minority will be had to-day.
The compromise is based on an army of
100000 men. of whom $1,000 will be known
as the provisional army and will be en-
listed to serve until 1901.
The president this morning had a con-
ference with Senators Allison. Hawley,
Platt of Connecticut, Hanna, Spooner and
Carter on the compromise. 1t is believed
that the agreement reached removes near
'ly all danger of an extra session.

CEASED TO RUN AMUCK.
When the American Troops Used
Church for Barracks.


regular army officer. stationed with the
garrison at Sulu, the Island of Sulu,
writing to an officer at Washington, gives
an account of the situation there, which Is
rather quaint. He describes the fortified
town as covering a few acres, inclosed
within a high stone wall. The inhabitants,
who are Mohammedans, were, he says,
rather disposed to mind their own business
and there would have been little trouble at
any time If it had not been for the uncom-
Portable habit among them of running
amuck. This peculiar pastime, which he
describes as other writers on the Philip
pines have described it, consists In native
Mohammedan stripping himself and greas-
ing his body and then running among the
Christians to see how many he can kill be-
fore he is himself done for Having but
small garrison, this habit of the natives
caused considerable trouble and required
constant watchfuness until an unexpected
circumstance changed the whole situation.
The garrison was reinforced, he says, and
the barracks having but limited capacity,
it became necessary to quarter some of the
soldiers in a Christian church AS soon as
this was done the annoyance from the Mo-
hammedans running amuck ceased, and the
Mohammedans became very friendly. The
explanation of this sudden change of senti-
ment toward the Americans given by the
native chief was that since the Americans
used the church for barracks they could
not be Christians. and, therefore, there was
no occasion for the Mohammedan fanatics
to kill them. The religious fervor of the
fanatic was fully satisfied by the apparent
Dissertation of the Christian church by the
Americans,

George b. FraZee, democratic candidate
for examiner of schools in Garrett county,
has declined to meet his republican oppo-
nent Mr.. U. G. Palmer. who at present
holds the office. in joint debate. He takes
the ground that he is averse to dragging
the schools into partisan politics. Mr..
Palmer's challenge was to discuss the Ed
ucatonal Needs of Garrett in ten of the
principal towns in the county.
The republican state central committee
for Garrett county selected the terms for
the republican nominees for school commits
sioners in the event of their election as
follows: George w. Legse. six-year term:
S. T. Speck, four-year term, and 5. l..
Flower. two-year term.
For the first time in the history of Car
rett county the office of school commission

elective. There Is quite n sentiment favor

the people all over the state. The legisla-

an effective campaign toward solidifying the
negro vote by showing up the alleged in
tention of the democrats to disfranchise

literary test is in force in Alabama and
Mississippi excluding from it those and
their descendants who were citizens in 1850.
The colored voter has been somewhat in

he will be almost solid for the republican
ticket by election day.

France, whose national debt has been

inches reserved for the address. which
is printed a 15-centne postage stamp. The
letter is written on the other half of the
sheet, which is then ingeniously folded and
held bys a gumned flap. The whole thing
is sold for 10 centimes-that is, two-thrds
of the price of single letter postage or ex-
actly the same as postal card.
