ST. PATRIcK's, EAST ST. LOUIS.

We understand that the unfortunate
troubles that have upset st. Patrick s
parish East st. Louis. for some months
back have been practically adjusted
This is glad news indeed, for the con-
ditions prevailing in that parish threat
ened to entail severe loss to the church
1t is understood that Bishop Jonssens
has made such arrangements as will
prove satisfactory to the people of the
parish and that the school and church
will be reorganized without delay.
AS we pointed out previously. the
remedy for the whole unfortunate af-
fair was in the Bishops own hands,
and that he has seen fit to use it shows
that Bishop Jenssens is a man of
strong character. who considers his
duty as he sees it reflected in the well
fare of those committed to his charge,
and not in the selfish mutterings of
those who would make him believe that
his episcopal authority was paramount
to the souls of his flock.
Bishop Jonssens, in adjusting the
difficulty in East st. Louis will receive
the plaudits of all fair minded men.

their daughter is in some friend S

never need a mothers cOmpanionship,
are throwing themselves right into the

been faithful to their trust. Too much
can not be said on this subject. If the

little account.
The only sure way to get rid of a
past is by getting a future out of it.

of good; that. as is often the case, the
very sin came from a past of our ma
ture that God made-a sense of jus

CHURCH DISSERTATION.

The charges of church desecratfon in
the Philippines which have been made
against the United states troops now
stationed in those islands are too seri-
Gus to be taken as conclusive without
careful investigation.
We are aware that protests have been
made by some Catholic societies against
the reported desecration. but We are
inclined to the view that such protests
have, in each case been based upon un-
substantial reports thai have come to
the United Staees) through irresponsible
sources.
Il is but fair to conclude that were
there any church dissertations in the
Philippines such men as Father Nc
Kinnon and other Catholics of repute,
now connected with our army, would
be the first to make a protest. In the
absence of protest, therefore, on the
part of such men, it would seem eX-
travagant to give prominence to the
reports that are being scattered. father
less. over the country to the effect
that our troops are indulging in the
looting and pillaging of churches.
That churches have been used and
are being used by our troops is certain
but in every case where our army is in
possession of a church it came into
such possession after driving the in
surgents out.
OF course such use would naturally
jar upon the sensibilities of Catholics
but is it more than a natural eonse-
investigation of these reports. We
have conversed with soldiers lately re-
turned from the Philippines to Utah,
Montana and Colorado, men who have
been in nearly every engag cement thus
far fought and our conclusions from
the investigation made is that no
church desecration, as sucn, has been
indulged in by our army.
Until some substantial fact is brought
forth we advise readers to form no
judgment in this matter unles it be to
conclude that the use to which churches
have been put is a necessary use conse-
quent upon the conditions now existing.
The Intermountain Catholic has no
desire to say anything in extenuation
or justification of the administration S
policy in the Philippines, but when
direct charges are made, justice re-
quires that proof and not allegations be
brought forward. The whole matter is
too serious to be considered upon hear

THE ASSASSIN.

The 1rand of the assassin has more
than once changed the history of the
world. When Charlotte Corday came
from the rural districts in Trance to
the great and gay capital, md in a
bath tub stabbed the monster, Marat,
it was to avenge the wrongs of peo
pie. The idea had grown in her mind
as she read of the monstrous actions
of Marat, and this idea, like the SER
pent's egg, when hatched grew mis-
chievous," and it was her waking
dream by day and disturbed her peace
full slumbers in the Silly night John
Wilkes Booth, who shot the martyr,
Lincoln, did it because he thought he
was avenging the people of the south.
The cruel war had brought its wrongs,
and he laid them up against the head
of the nation. The death of Lincoln
meant the avenging of them to him.
and the idea once conceived grew in
his mind until it mastered him, and he
acted as he always did, upon impulse.
The same with Guiteau, who assassi-
mated Garfield; he was a man with a
disordered mind. He brooded over his
wrongs until he lived alone for ven
geance. and he mercilessly struck down
the chief executive of a great nation
and gloated over his deed. President
Carnot of France was assassinated by
the same kind of individual as Guiteau:
a man with none of the genius Of
Booth nor the daring or brilliancy of
Charlotte Corday, but one who longed
to write his name upon page of his
tory. and though the deed be as foul
as man can commit, he never faltered
when the idea became fixed in his
mind.
The assassin of history has been a
gloomy figure with disordered brain
revengeful and melancholy, he has
brooded over his wrongs and wiped
them out with blood: hrs heart ceased
to feel the kindly emotions of nature
and the love of God gave place to the
fire of hate. When he looked upon the
heavens at night and saw reflected
there the glory of divine God, the
feeling that should have stirred his
heart was gone, and in its place the
cruel nature of the savage. There. in
the silence, when his devotional nature
should have been stirred, with uplifted
hand he renewed his VOW of assassina-
ton. He could forget home and friends
and kindred and allow all kindly
The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1899-10-07

thought to be swallowed up in the lust
for the blood of his victim.
Assassination is a terrible thing. 1t
may steal upon man when he feels at
peace with all the world. and while his
heart is beating in sympathy with the
hopes of mankind. A man may leave
his home strong in the nope and love of
life, and be brought back bleeding
corpse-the victim of hate, and While
his loved ones are weeping over his
dead face the assassin gloats in his
cell, and his diseased mind tells him
that he has performed a noble deed.
Men holding conspicuous positions in
life are subject to the bullet and the
knife of the assassin, and so long as
insanity attacks the brain of man,
breaking down his moral structure and
making him worse than the beasts of
the forest, so long will the assassin
stalk abroad
The assassin fills one with terror. His
deed should be promptly punished, be-
cause to give him liberty endangers the
lives of many, and one act of this kind
breeds others, for there are always
imitators of bad as well as good deeds.
God grant that such deeds may grow
fewer, and that the time may come
when reason may hold sway and his
spirit animate all mankind.

PITFALLS OF SATAN.
written for The Intermountain
CathOlicl

written for The Intermountain
Catholic.)
The society world is full of snares
and pitfalls to ruin virtuous character
What is styled as ''gentility' and good
breeding is as apt devoid of principles
of uprightness as the openly coarse and
vulgar. Mere society manners are only
surface deep. Many young girls of our
day are educated to false ideas of social
standing by their own mothers, whose
main purpose is to have them marry
some society swell. This education is
for social prestige rather than for in
telligent nobility of character and con-
seuuent 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 possible. 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 irreparable. Every child is
more exposed to vice who is not we'll
instructed in virtue from a good moth
er's heart and guardianship. What a
reproach to a mother whose child will
say, my Ma don't care, she lets me go
out, and do as please. She wants me
to be like other girls. She don't mind
if l fiirt and have beaus." Learn the
habits Of most young girls who have
been neglected and it will be found that
they are given to sensual imaginings,
coming from sensational reading and
vicious conpanionship. Many are vic
Tins of immortality at an early age.
Through the critical years from girl
hood to womanhood, when they most
need the faithful protection of a
mother, how often they are left ex-
posed to the snares of society life? Is
it any wonder that so many girls are
leading a life of vice? Fathers, too are
equally responsible for the development
of Christian character of their children.
1t is not an uncommon sight in pass
ing along the streets after night to find
groups of boys and girls flirting. Often
a girl and a boy may be seen sitting
alone on steps or in some out-of the
way place. Perhaps the parents think
