Those who fancy that the Vatican will discip-
line Archbishop Ireland for his criticism of the
Spanish religious corporations in the Philippines,
will have to wait long and vainly. The Vatican
has shown anything but indications of a desire
to offend its spiritual subjects in the United
States. Furthermore the present kindly and lib
eral light which illumnes the See Of st. Peter
reveals TO the church thoughtful that the United
States is the most important field and hope for
the progress of Catholicism, particularly as it

The wonder of 1t.

Who in the world would have thought
that one of the fighting McCooks," filled
with the pride of family and sense OF
honors more or less deserved or a Denby,
shrewd and trained diplomatist, for years
a pupil of the Chinese Empress Dowager
or a dignified and ultra conventional West
Point professor like Wilson, could have
sat under the deluge of obscenity poured
over the Alger Relief Commission by
Eagan without ever as much as murmIr-
ing protest? Even that tough old bird.
Credit Mobilier Dodge, avoided the show
er Of sewage that all hands concerned
knew was coming, and was careful TO alb
sent himself from Washington on the oc-
cason.
The incident amounted to sad iiiustrs
tion of the power of Algerism to make
formerly honest and honorable men forget
the gentlemanly instincts that once abid-
ed in them. Now where do they stand
before the American people? What
thought can soothe their melancholy or
whitewash the guilty stain away?
Thomas Carlyle once spoke of an emf
ment German professor as having lost
whatever mother wit he may have had in
process of acquiring vast erudition. He
was not the first, and Emerson was not
the first. to point out that no amount Of
| erudition or college training can confer
good sense on a man who is naturally
lacking. The absence of good sense is no
bar to success in college, and a man who
has all the book requirements for pro-
| fessor's chair may be fool There may
be men holding the chair of political
economy in a university who haven't halt
| the economic intelligence and practical
| knowledge of an illiterate farmer. The re-
! fusal of the American people to recognize
! the authority of college professors is fully
| warranted. If there has been any doubt
about it, the recent exhibitions of such
men as Professor Norton, of Harvard, and
| Professor Sumner, of Yale, should dissi-
nate it.

Gated and no repentance can change
the fact. When the plates are pre-
pared for steel engravings the steel
is made soft, asd then the graver
works out the picture; and then the
plate is put into furnace and
brought to a great hardness, SO that
impressions can be taken off by the
hundreds without wearing it. Now,
the time to engrave men is youth,
when the plate is soft and ductile.
Manhood is hard and cannot be cut

man advancement will be only ac-
complished by swelling the legions
of those who have learned to think
on lines of unsel6shness, who have
schooled the brain in plastic mold,

transformation.

As idleness is a curse, so is lazi-
ness vice.
AS man has a body that allies him
to the ground, so he has spirit that
connects him with God.
As thorns and thistles are the is
sues of sin, so do they make the
course Of man laborious and painful.
As the spirit oil cowardice is the
fruit Of nnbelief, so most of the COM
plants Of men spring from selfish
ness.
As the disposition of mans life is
! in Gods hand, so ought he to seek
his normal altitude and live it-at
all hazards.
As character is the inward state
OF man, so his conception Of God
depends upon his own mind and
conscience.
As he who is worthy Of the name,
is always an American wherever he
may be, so should a Christian be a
Christian anywhere on earth,
AS there is no skill by which John
could live in peace with Herod, so
men of integrity and refinement can
have but one attitude toward cor
ruption and iniquity, an attitude Of
uncompromising hostility.
As the fruit tree can never be
brought to its best without the
pruning knife, so there is no human
creature, but can lily afford not to
submit to the Christening rod of Him
"who doeth all things WE'LL"
As life spirit in wickednes is a

hoard Of bitterness on the soul, so i.
that OF a life devoted to the service
of God treasure of bliss, supplying

and such mighty leaps and bounds

pliances to the worlds needs, will
the closing century have to record.
To keep pace with the present at
