PLAIN TALK.

The Citizen is assured from many
quarters that it has made out a very
strong case Pm the memorial on the
neglected Italians published in our
last issue.
What will be the result? Our es-
TEEN for the zeal Of the Propaganda as
missionary arm of the Church will be
increased or depressed according as the
crying needs of the dispersed fiocHs of
Italy are met or ignored.
Many years ago, Cardinal Newman
said in a letter:
The Church has sustained a severe
loss as Well as the English and Ger
man nationalities themselves, by their
elimination from it: not the least of
the evil being that in consequence.
the Latin element. which is in the as
cendant, does not cannot know. how
great the loss is. This is an evil
which the present disestablishment
everywhere going on may at length
correct. Influential portions of the
Latin races may fall off; and if popes
are chosen from other nationalities

and gradually gain influence.

WHEE CREDIT IS DUE.

Had it not been for the good offices OF
an influential Catholic lady who die
more than will ever be told to further
the project" the bill authorizing the
erection of a Catholic chapel at West
Point might have been rejected. in
spite of it's friends in congress. So says
the Ave Maria, which is not in the hab-
it of making statements unless it is
able to sustain them with proof. The
lady evidently does not desire to have
her name publicly associated with the
accomplishment of this victory. As our
esteemed contemporary justly remarks:
1T is to the glory of women that they
have always taken an active, If incon-
spicuous part. in all movements to pro
mote religion. They can be trusted to
do all in their power and to do it well
and with the most disinterestedness. A
woman will habitually render praise to
God when any good is done. Men are
more disposed to contend for the credit
of having accomplished 1.-THE Mont
tor.
a great many people contributed to
the success of the measure authorizing
the erection of d chapel at West Point.
1t is a very pretty story printed above
from the Ave Maria, but the one person
who made possible the building of the
chapel is the Rev. C. G. O'Keeffe of
Highland Falls. n. Y, who not only
collected the funds to pay for the cree
ton of the building. but to whose untir-
ing efforts the bill authorizing the
building of the chapel passed congress.
When the bill was in imminent dan
ger of not becoming a law, Father
O'Keeffe saved it by his own tact and
force of character.
Honor to whom honor is due.

The society world is full of snares
and pitfalls to ruin virtuous character.

and very often used for effect Many

own mothers, whose main purpose is to
have them marry some society swell. -
This education is for social prestige
rather than fer intelligent nobility of
character and consequent usefulness.
Mothers do not keep their girls with
them as they should, teaching them
how to be useful and educating them in
every way to make them the most
beautiful and complete characters pos
sible. This is what God requires of a
mother The companionship .of a
godly mother is worth more to any girl
than the best that society gives. The
loss of such mother is irreoara5le.

sPALDING AT WASHINGTON.

Bishop Spalding delivered another
address of more than usual interest at
Washington on Thursday of last week.
The occasion was the dedication of the
new college which the Fathers of the
| Holy Cross are erecting at the Catho-
lie university
1t is always refreshing to read the
thoughts of the gifted Bishop of Peoria
The subject of the Bishops address
was, The University-a Nursery of
the Higher Life" The following para
graph from the Bishops address is
worthy of attention:
Whatever may be thought of the
moral and religious progress or regress
of America. there can be no doubt that
our Institutions of higher learning have
now for more than a quarter of a CEN
fury been making rapid advances.
STRONG MEN NEEDED.

speaker, men of exceptional intellec-

cause here the word of God, issuing
from minds and hearts that are alive
and faithful, penetrates more surely
and reaches farther than the splendor
and pomp of ceremonial Worship"
1t is not by boasting of the great
things the Church has accomplished,
he declared, that the Catholics can be-
come strong. but by becoming true men
and doing something worthy them
selves. Unless we are inspired with
the spirit of the age and country in
which we live, how can men know or

THE CHRISTIAN BROTHERS.

Perhaps the most important action
taken by the Archbishops at their re-
cent meeting in Washington was their
determination to make the cause of
the Christian Brothers, who are pro-
| testing against the destruction of their
| colleges, matter of paramount i'm
| portance before the Roman authorities.
/ This is indeed welcome intelligence,
and the fact that Archbishop Riordan
! of San Francisco will present the Arch
bishops view of the situation to Rome
/ is a guarantee that the cause Of the
| Christian Brothers will be urged in no
half-hearted or timfd manner, but will
be presented with an intelligence and
virflity that are marked attributes of
that distinguished Prelate's character.
Indeed, it is high time that a deter
mined stand was taken by American
Catholics against the interference in
the internal educational affairs of this
country

the most efficient teachers in our
schools. Their colleges are we'll

Intimate knowledge of the manner in
which the spiritual welfare of the

made us loath to accept the plan of

the conviction that the course which
it pursues is not the wisest.

COLUMBIA AND SHAMROCK.

The Columbia has defeated the Sham
rock in two of the races out of the
series of five. In the second race the
top mast of the Shamrock was carried
away and she was unable to finish the
/ race.
There has been much speculation in
the newspapers concerning the outcome
Of the race, and much anxiety has been
expressed regarding the holding of the
cup on this side of the water. Much
unnecessary feeling has been raised
| against Captain Barr of the Columbia,
and some of the newspapers have gone
so far as to say that he knows nothing
about his business; but the races have
demonstrated that he is as skillful a
skipper as ever sailed before a breeze,
and that the Columbia is the fastest
cup defender ever built in the United
States.
1t seems that a yacht in order to win.
an International race must not only be
feet but strong, and there must be no
weak places. The Herreshoffs, who built
the Columbia, evidently knew this fact,
and built a boat that, while swift in a
light breeze, grew swifter and stronger
as the breeze grew in intensity. An
other thing has been demonstrated: OF
all the men who go down into the sea
in ships there are none to equal the
Yankee sailor
The crew of the Shamrock is the COM
mingling of many nations; the crew of
the Columbia is composed of men from
along the Yankee coast, who from
earliest childhood have braved the sea
in little dorys or fishing smacks. They |
are shrewd and rugged race, and |
what they do not know about sailing a
yacht in fair or foul weather no man
need attempt to know, for there are
many tricks in yacht sailing and the
Yankees know them all. The crew that
sails on the staunch little cup defender
feel that the boat is part OF them, and
have as much affection for it as moth
er for her babe. They are a race of
men who believe in God and in the lib
erty of mankind and while they may
not worship any living being except
their Cod this triumph of mans skill
with it's graceful outline and yards of
sail is something adored and revered
by them. What tales they can tell in
the future to the children and grand
children that gather around their knees
