Philadelphia, Pa. Oct. 1S.-The open
ing today of the third annual conven-
ton of the Priests Eucharistic league
was preceded by the celebration of
high pOntifical mass at the cathedral.
Archbishop Ryan was the celebrant
and a score of archbfshops and bishops
were within the altar rails, while the
ediffce was filled to overlooking by
members of the Catholic clergy from
all parts of the country.
This afternoon the convention began
its sessions. The league has for it's
primary object the promotion of devo-
ton to the holy eucharist. 1t has
membership of $4,000 in Europe, 1000 in
the United States and a large number
in Asia, Africa and South America.

THROWN OUT OF COURT.

In the good old days in Kentucky
there was a court composed of three
magistrates to try certain cases ap-
pealed from a single justice of the
peace. The three magistrates were
backwOodsmen. a case was being
tried one day that was very important
and several hours of listening to the
reading of dispositions and the argu-
ments of counsel, pro and con, and pro
and con again, had so nearly entangled
the court in a labryinth of perplexing
questions of law and fact that they
doubted their ability to blaze their way
out. So they whispered to the leading
lawyer at the bar, who was sitting by
as a spectator, and asked him what he
thought ought to be done with the case.
II think it ought to be thrown out of
court was the prompt and emphatic
reply.
That settled it.
Mr.. Clerk said. the chief magis-
trate, pass up them papers"
The papers, which made quite large
bundle. were handed to the chief mag
istrate.
Now. Mr.. Sheriff. said he. deliber-
ately "open that window"
The sheriff opened the window and
the case was thrown out of court

bound to admit that Mr. Mclean
seems to have been pretty successful
in keeping the inheritance of those old
fights from becoming a disturbing ele-
ment in his present canvass.
Another feature of the campaign is
The scare of this year as compared
with the scares in previous years. II
is really of as much Importance and
may have as great an influence as the
fractional trouble. 1t would be useless
to deny that the Ohio republicans are
in that frame of mind known as ''hav-
ing the scare on. The reasons for this
are not of consequence now. The in
teresting question is whether the scare
mas come too late or just at the right
time. Good political managers always
know the benefit of Il scare. In the
beginning of a campaign it is their aim
to frighten their own people into activ-
ity, lest the enemy steathiIy creep up
on the camp and seize the baggage,
that is to say, the Offices. When the
rarty seems Indifferent and is hard 20
arouse, the campaign managers them
selves start the scare.
In the last presidential campaign
there was some Indifference out in
Illinois among the republicans. Dr..

republicans really got scared in time
for actual work and began to wake up.
Their majority for Mckinley was

hundred thousand Go not mean TO
say that the situation in Ohio is the
same or that the republican scare has
been started By the campaign mana
gers. The canvass is too far advanced
for that While the shrewd politicians
are usually willing to risk soaring
their party in the beginning of a cam
paign, they hesitate about doing it to-
ward the end, for fear that theis. own
followers may be deloralized and the |
enemy encouraged. The great point |
for two or three weeks before an cleo
ton is to scare the opposition into the |
belief that it is already beaten and to /
encourage their own party to press on /
