NOW COMES BISHOP DoANE-

Bishop Doane of the Protestant Epis-
copal church in an address delivered
at Albany, n. Y. on the 18th inst, thus
speaks of divorce, which seems to be
splitting the Protestant Episcopal
church asunder.
Il am most urgent that we should
consider the duty of giving a tone to
society, in the hope that, when it can
be induced to set its ban upon offenses
against Gods law, there will be a power
at work far more efficient to arrest
the evil than can be measured by its
good influence upon those who are de-
termined to sin. Speaking practically,
l beg you to consider whether the eX-
istency of the social crisis does not de
mand the heroic treatment of absolute
and unvarying prohibition.
IF this church can by any language
or by any enactment Of canon or rubric
rid herself of all sponsibility for re-
marriage after divorce she will have set
up barrier against the foul tide of the
dissertation of marriage, of the degra-
dation OF the family, of the deteriora-
ton of the home, which must turn the
current aside until it finds it's way
where it belongs, into the sewage and
not into the sources of supply"
Like all OF ms cOntrereS, Bishop
Doane misses the point. 1t is not socie-
ty, at least society which processes be-
lief in Episcopalianism which needs
toning up, so much as the church which
processes to carry to society the Word
of God. The Protestant Episcopal
Church, as a church, has cendoned di-
vorce in all of its aspects. and it is only
now when it sees and stands aghast at
the ruin which its own negligence has
wrought that it is seeking to find
for its errors Of omission and
as we'll
How long will Christian men daily
with this great evil in American social
life? There is only one view of divorce
which can save society, and that is the
Roman Catholic view.

GENERAL FUNSTON AGAIN.

General Funston has just passed
through the intermountain country, and
every man. woman and child therein
are aware of the fact. General Fun
ston, Familiarity known as "Fritzie." is
perpetually in evidence. From the time
he left Topeka until his arrival in San
Francisco no reporter will be without
an opportunity of interviewing the in
trepid Kansan who swan into notoriety
in moment through a Euzon creek.
Considering the multitudinous inter
views which General Funston has given
to the American people during the past
fortnight, The Intermountain Catholic
suggests to President Mckinley that
he omit his message to Congress next
month. Funston has s9oken-nothing
more is to be said. Funston has dealt
with everything in and about, above
and beneath the Philippines. He has a.
view and policy on everything con-
nected Herewith. OF course, there may
be few of US who will pardon Mr.. Nc
Kinley if he does not coincide with all
the views of the aqueous General.
Funston, like Hobson,S seems to have
trouble with his mouth.

any purpose whatever connected with
the Catholic church without having
from me permission in writing bearing

has certain tenets, certain forms OF
! worship which are clearly defined. and
! the particular kind Of Christianity
| Whiolf-is inapiied5in the name of a par
! ocular CHURCH lis not the Christianity
| of one who refuses to accept the ten
cts aid forms @of that church without
| question. Hence such a persons claim
upon the. name ceases to be valid.
| There cap be no question, therefore,
| about the duty Of the minister or the
! layman who finds the special creed that
he has embraced unsatisfactory to him.
He should seek his church affiliations
elsewhere.
Logically speaking, no other course
is open TO him, and it is surprising that
so many would-be reformers have failed
to understand this. What they at
tempt to do is to arrogate the name
CT the organization to their peculiar
style of individualism, as if the name
did not already have a definite and
proscriptive meaning. As a matter of
fact, it does not belong to them, but
signifies something which they are not
and cannot be.
When a man begins to dissent he has
already lost his case, unless he retires
voluntarily. That is his right, and if
he asserts it there will be a general
recognition of his honesty and consist
y
sue and courts a forcible election.
All of which may be very we'll and
good, but we would like to know what
is to be done in case where the dis
senteTs declare and firmly believe that
they and they alone have kept the faith
unadulterated, and that the other side
is wrongfully. arrogating to itself the
power of deciding what are the tenets
of the church and what are not. When
a man begins to dissent it is generally
not dissent from the dogma of his
denomination as ne understands it, but
from the dogma as interpreted by
his co-religionists. In other cases a
man is usually willing and ready to
leave the fold, and with him there is
no necessity of further argument, But |
private Interpretation, once allowed, eX- !
tends also to the tenets of the body |
to which the so-called dissenter be- |
longs. He says they mean one thing, |
and the others say they mean another.
Either he has a right TO stay in the |
fold and use his private Interpretation,
or the whole system is a failure. We |
Catholics assert private Interpretation
must be a failure and settle our con-
by the decision of the final
arbiter, the Pope. Roma locuta est,
causa finita est. Professionalism, ac-
cepting each mans opinion as equal
to that of any other mans in religious
has reached a parting

Catholicism. The highway has been

A CLOSER UNION OF CATHOLICS.

| Editor Intermountain Catholic:
! Allow me to congratulate the man
aSement of your paper upon the man
ner in which you have so far kept the
promises which you made in the an
nouncement of the consolidation OF
The Colorado Catholic with The Inter
mountain Catholic 1t seems TO me
| that your paper is calculated to bring
about closer union of Catholics in the
intermOuntain country than could De
possible from any other source. Your
journal bears evidence in its columns
of being what it purports to be. the
organ of the intermountain Catholics
in the intermountain states, and not
the organ of a single diocese. This, IN
my judgment is as it should be.
Please find enclosed a renewal OF
my subscription for two years in ad-
vance. Sincerely,
The above is from an esteemed sub
scriber in Montana. and we beg to
assure him of our kindly appreciation
of his generous words.
A closer union of Catholics in Mon
tana, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado
and New Mexico is what The Inter
mountain Catholic seeks to accomplish.
The local news from all these states
will. we are satisfied, serve to bring
the readers of The Intermountain Cath
Ollie to a closer knowledge of Catholic
life in all parts of the intermountain
country than they have found possible
hitherto.
The different Catholic societies, such
as the Ancient Order of Hibernians,
Catholic knights, the Knights of ST
John, and kindred organizations, will
find in the columns of The Intermoun-
tain Catholic a knowledge of the work
of these organizations in their respec-
tive communities. We are satisfied
that the view which our clerical friend
from Montana takes of this particular
mission of The Intermountain Catholic
will find fulfllment.

LIBERALS PROGRESS.

Though we have never been inclined
to boast about our only experience as
a nation in colony planting and have
never in the late discussions used Lii
IBERIA as in any sense an example of
our success in colonial affairs. still we
cannot help but feel cheered and en-
couraged by the news which has just
time in twenty-five years, Liberia has
paid the interest on her public debt
In 1871 Liberia f1oated a debt of 100000,
mostly in England; three years later
she was unable to pay the interest
and it has lapsed ever since. The bond
holders had given up hopes of ever
getting their money, for the colony
was constantly falling behind. Recent
ly, however, a new source of wealth
was discovered in the rubber of the
district The Liberian rubber syndi-
cate an almost entirely English con-
Germ, has paid such royalties into the
treasury as to enable the arrears of in
terest to be wiped out. by an arrange
ment with the bondholders in which
they agreed to accept $4,000 in full for
back interest. \ further arrangement
has been made to reduce the interest
from per cent to 3 per cent, rising
" of 1 per cent every three years until
the extinction of the loan. Naturally
the renewed prosperity of the colony,
which has been for many years a
plague spot almost, in the eyes of Eu-
ropean nations, has drawn the atten
ton of Europe to it, and it is said that
designs are forming to bring it under
control of one of the powers. American
are at present at the head of
the government and Of course in any
agreements that are entered into the
United States would have a voice.

of nut in his lung, which also brought
on pneumonia. The doctors have lit

aid without having an operation per-
formed to get the particle of nut out,
which will necessitate cutting open his

his mouth, when he commenced cough
ing. He opened his mouth to draw
some air, and in doing so the peanut
slipped down his throat. The nut
lodged in his throat half way. He
commenced terrible coughing which
led into spasms. He fell to the side
walk, and his face turned white, while
dizziness came over him. He drank
glass of water, but it seemed to have
him cough more. He then obtained an

no good. The piece had slipped down
