n CATHOLIC POLITICAL PARTY.
The Reasons why 1t La Undesirable tn Form
Ono Set Forth By . London Organ.

Ono Bet Forth By London Organ.
For some dme there has been considerable dis
cusson In the United States and in England as
70 tho advisAbility OF for ming Catholic political
party which would hold tho balance OF power In
both countries Tho Catholic press here and
abroad has given the question some attention.
and the proposttio has been favorably received
by a section OF the clergy and laity. One OF the
leading Catholic journals Of England, the
Weekly Reotster, OF London. however, has Just
come out In opposition to the project. In it's
issue OF Aug. IL IL publishes an article on
"Clerlcalism In Politics." which has attracted
much attention abroad. In the course OF the arti-
Gle the Register says:
In the first place there is no common political
ground on which Catholics can unite, and there
is no reason al all why Catholics should agree
on iitical questions A good Catholic may be
a Monarchist or Republican, an Oligarchist or
. Democrat Radical or a Tory. The Chur oh
has political principles: she has moral princi-
pies which have TO be applied TO politics, but the
way in which they ought to be applied under
any given circumstances is a matter OF opinion.
When you have party pro sing to be Cath
Ollie the presumption Ia at once created that
Catholics are bound to hold this or that view
about any political question that may arise, and
any Catholic that disng rees with the policy
OF that party is a suspect, and Is accused OF dis
10y atty TO the Church.
Moreover, II the Church is turned into a po-
litcal party, all other parties arc forced into an
attitude Of active hostility 10 her. and the Church
suffers by the blunders of the politicians who
claim to represent her
1T is not the business Of the clergy to instruct
us In politics, economies, mathematics. phlos'
ophy, biology. physiology or what not: and to
expect them 10 do so IS to demand from then
superhuman capacities. The opinion OF bishop
or priest on any OF these subjects Is OF no more
or no less value than that OF a laymnn, and It's
value depends the specific knowledge pos
sessed by tho priest or Bishop. We do
not suggest that the clergy should hold
aloof from any OF those things: far from
It, II Is most desirable that thoy should
DO tod with and in sed in the subjects
that interest their hocks. and that II they have
knowledge they should give IL TO the world. But
the training OF tho clergy is not such-and
ough not 10 be such-as TO mako them. as a
rule. good poll tical leaders and IT, as is some
times said, they seem to be more INSCRIPTIONS
than other people whom they do NEEDLE in poll
tics, Is is probably because they do not under

Not only this, but the spectator is al

.Ah. you fooled me-" SAYS the spec
tator. There is no queen in the lot.
They are all aces. You slipped the
queen away when my attention was

"You think so?" says Houdini with a
smile. Watch close. I'll throw the
three cards so. Now. which is the ace?
Remember. you said just now that they
were all aces"
The spectator indicates a card. 1t
is turned over and found to be the

THE HANDCUFF KING
A MAGICIAN uNLocKs THEM WITH
OUT KEYS.

He Does Many Other Strange Things
But Says it is All q Trick-Why
an Amateur Should Never Bet ON
Another Mans Tricks.
Whenever any OF these alleged spirit
ual mediums tell you that they have
supernatural aid in freeing themselves
from handouts and ropen bonds, you
may safely set them down as frauds.
The -handcuff trick is merely matter
of sleight-of-hand. I'll show you how
il is DONE"
Houdini, the European magician,
who is well-named liking of the hand
cuffs" was giving an impromptu per-
formance in the Chicago Inter-Ocean
office for the amusement of the editor
ial staff. Taking a pair of the latest
make of handouts, guaranteed by the
maker to be absolutely safe as q
bond for the retention of criminals
Houdini placed his hands behind his
back and had them locked together by
an Inter-Ocean man, the latter retain
ing the key. Standing few feet away,
but in full view of the audience, he
freed himself from the iron cuffs in
less than three minutes. 1t was i'm
possible, under the circumstances, that
there should be any deceit In the per-
formance.
Mediums do the handcuff tricl: some
what after the same manner that l
do" said Hondini. as he wriggled HIM

deft at it. / have practiced the trick
for years. It's simply matter of dex

diums may claim. ! have standing
offer of 800 for any pair of handcuffs
that / cannot get out of without the
use of key i'm less than five Minute,
and, although dozen of police officers
have tried to earn the money, none of
them have succeeded. My method is
more ingenious than that followed by
most mediums, as many of them use
keys while concealed in their dark cab
inets, while my work is done in full
view of spectators. l call ii trick,
and that's all it is, but everybody who
sees il is willing to admit it is one OF
the cleverest ever presented.
"While l was at San Francisco

must have key concealed about my

Examiner office, just as have come to

you like, strip me naked, make sure
that l have no key concealed, and
will forfeit 500 if | am not free from
the handouts in five minutes
my offer was accepted. | went
through the test to the satisfaction of
the Examiner staff, and the following
Sunday that paper made the amende
honorable by withdrawing the charge
of fraud, and devoted an entire page to
an illustrated article on the perform
ance."

attempted by only one other person in
