Monsignor Thomas ]. Conaty, formerly
Of Sacred Heart church in this city.
He has made it a goal to which
courses in the Catholic colleges shall
tend. The establishment of this uni
versity was a cherished ideal of the
American Catholic prelates long before
its actual realization. To quote the
words of Dr. Daniel w. Shea, Monsig-
nor Conaty's secretary: "The institu-
ton may be looked upon practically as
founded by Leo XIII, who constantly
encouraged its development from the
ideal stage to the present. His inten-
ton was to create a great school of
theology, philosophy and sciences, CO.
ordinated and brought together by the
spirit If not by all the details Of the
Thomastic philosophy. The spirit Of
this philosophy issynthetic and unitive.
It's points of view are broad, forward
and far reaching, and it's application is
intended as an effort to the excessive
specializing tendencies of our time,
which, instead of sinking the results of
individual sciences into the vast and
all-embracing philosophic world plan
always a corrective of narrower views
-engender in the students f1xity of
viewpoint, fatal alike to his apprecia-
tion of philosophy and religion"
1t is understood that Mgr. Conaty.
has under consideration the formation
of extensive plans for completing the
endowments of the university and thus
greatly adding to its work.

DEWEY POEMS.

Michael Kelley, little Irishman, was
arrested in New York the other night
for reciting poetry on the street. The
policeman who arrested him held that
reciting poetry under any circumstances
was one OF the strongest evidences of
intoxication. So he broke up the au-
thor's reading circle right away. In the
Jefferson Market court, Kelley, in an
swer to the judges question, said: 81
was not intoxicated, your honor; l was
only reciting a few of my verses to the
crowd that gathered around me. The
fellow hit me under the jaw here Gin
dicating with his finger where the lit
erary critic had been little too severe),
and that's why the policeman inter-
fered. l am not drinking man, sir.
l am the man who wrote the poem to
Admiral Dewey" That was too much
for the magistrate. You're discharged,
or, rather, won't admit there was any
charge against you. Officer, take the
author of the Dewey poem out of this
court" Though the judge may not be
aware Of it, the probabilities are that
he will turn enough Dewey poems on
the market to make more trouble than
the biggest bunch of intoxicated men
that could be found in all New York.

WHAT THE BoERs HAVE LOST.

During the last 20 years the Beers
have traded on the reputation they
gained at Majuba hill That gallant
feat of arms and the countermanding
of the advance Of the imperial troops
from Natal by Mr.. Gladstone, gave the
burghers an exaggerated sense of their
own prowess. 1t also went long way
of Cape Colony that British influence
was on the wane, and that the Dutch
would ultimately rule South Africa.
The Beers themselves have made no
secret of their intention of some dav
driving the British into the sea-" Ig-
norance of the British resources and
| confidence in their own fighting ability
led to their present rash challenge to
the English to advance into Natal.
Up to this point, Boer strategy has
not been conspicuously successful.
Since 1881 the Dutch of the Transvaal
and the Orange Free State have I'M
doubtedly lost many of the characteris
tics that made them formidable foes
AS long as they were dependent for
sustenance on the chase, they were all
good shots. Living in the open air,
they could sleep with impunity on the
ground in all kinds of weather. But
the disappearance of game of all sorts
has impaired their accuracy with the
rife. The inflow Of wealth consequent
on gold mining has tempted them to
purchase machine guns and artillery,
with the working Of which they are
sadly unacquainted. Compelled to
stand by their slow-moving guns they
have lost their mobility.
Equipped with modern artillery and
Mauser rifles, and entrenched in an al
most impregnable position, they could
not stop the gallant charge of the Brit

EDITORIAL CHANGES.

The resignation of Walter M. Lam
caster and Frank w. Blair from the
editorial force of The Spy gives us an
opportunity to pay tribute to their
ability and loyalty. Mr.. Lancaster had
been the telegraph editor, editorial
writer and musical critic. He had a
long experience on The Spy, and in no
respect did he fail in his service to the
newspaper. Mr.. Blair has been man
aging editor for the past few months,
and much of the growth and vivacity
of the paper is due to his skill and &C
curacy. Mr.. Blair is a clever writer
and a most estimable gentleman. The
best wishes of the editor of The Spy
are with him in his new work.
The head of the news and editorial
forces henceforth will be George B. M
Houston, who has been making the
newspapers financial page, and as city
editor has won a high place in his pro-
fession. His executive ability is recog-
nized wherever he is known.
We ask our friends to watch The Spy.
The constant outpour of kind words
and friendly congratulations indicate
that the people Of this city appreciate
a newspaper of substantial merit Of
originality, systematic and clean, and
Of sturdy principles. The change will
enable the new systems to be made
more effective. The Spy wants every
line of news fit TO print. It wants first
the news of the city of Worcester, it's
suburbs and the general news of the
world.
Mr.. Houstons valuable experience as
an editor of the Boston Record. as a
war correspondent, as a progressive
newspaper man will be brought to bear
on The Spy. The editor will be glad
to receive letters of criticism and sug-
gestion. OF course, it is quite as inn
portant for us to know what our read
ers do like as to be told what others do
not like. We hope correspondents will
give us their own sentiments, not sec
ond hand opinions. With the kindliest
feeling for our contemporary, The Tele-
gram, we must say that we
propose to attain success along indi-
vidual lines, lead all and follow none.
aiming always for the very highest
standard, both in the news and edito-
rial departments.

THE HUSTLING AMERICAN.

One of the most graphic paragraphs
relative to the restless energy of the
American people that has ever ap-
peared in the public prints, was written
by the famous English clergyman, Rev.
John Watson, D. D., under his novel
istio title of Ian McLaren. 1t appears
in the September number of the Amer
lean Magazine among his observations
while in this country.
mo man goes slow if he has the
chance Of going fast" he says. mo
man stops to talk if he can talk walk
ing; no man walks if he can ride in a
trolley car; no one goes in a trolley car
if he can go in steam car, and by and
by no one will go in a steam car if he
can be shot through pneumatic tube
No one writes with his own hand if he
can dictate to a stenographer; no one
dictates if he can telegraph; no one
telegraphs if he can telephone and by
and by, when the spirit of American
invention has brought the telegraph
into thorough condition, a man will
simply sit with his mouth at one hole
and his ear at another and do business
with the ends of the earth. In few
seconds the same machine will keep
and preserve them in letter books and
ledgers. 1t is the Americans regret
that at present hs can dc nothing with
his feet while he is listening at the tele-
phone, but doubtless some employment
will be found for them during the COM
ing age"
1t is a very accurate description Of
the modern, busy, hustling American
Of today.

THE MANUFACTURING BOOM.

Manufacturers, in the opinion of the
Bureau of Statistics, are about the
busiest people in the United States at
the present time. Mr.. Austin, the chief
of the bureau, has just returned to
Washington from a visit to manufac-
turing centres of New England, which
included some days in this city and it's
immediate vicinity, and he says: eff
the condition of the manufacturers is
an example OF, that of the manufactur-
ers of the country generally, as it pre-
sumably is, there can be no occasion
for. complaint that the mills and men
are lacking in employment" In no case
did he find a lack of orders for the
manufacturers or of employment for
the men and women desiring employ
ment. On the contrary, all the mills
were running on full time, while many
reported their orders far in excess of
their capacity to fill them with prompt
ness.
In the boot and shoe trade, which
Of course figures very largely in the
industrial life Of Worcester county, Mr..
Austin states that in the last eight
months between $2,OOO,OOO and $4,000, :.
900 worth of those products have been
sent out of the country, the total for
the eight months being double that of
the corresponding months of 1898. Ship
ments in the shoe trade have gone be-
V0nd the 1iDac ord;Do,i111 No. ol,o5 -
consignments have been made to Asia
and Ooeanica as we'll as to the great
industrial manufacturing centres of
France and Germany.
An Illustration of the activity of man
ufacturers in other lines is cited in the
statement made by DR.. Wilson, the
head of the Philadelphia commercial
museums and director of the export ex-
position. Our chief difficulty in the
preliminary work of the exposition was
in the fact that the manufacturers of
the country were so busy that many
of them could not find time and a neces-
sary force of employees with which to
prepare an exhibit satisfactory to
themselves, while in many other cases
where requests for exhibits were made,
came the statement that since they
were now months behind with their or
ders, the display of their productions
would merely add to their temporary
embarrassment by bringing a still
greater number of orders over their ca
pacity for production.
I'm the great iron and steel manufac-
turing industry we find that many of
the establishments had from 6 to IS
months orders ahead and that they
We're working to their fullest capacity
and unable to increase their produce
without an increase of machinery
which, of course, cannot be made in
moment"
In the iron and steel industry the
figures of the export trade show that
the extreme activity of the manufac-
turer is expended not alone on the
home market The expectation of man
ufactures in iron and steel in the eight
months ending with August, 1899,
amounted to $6S,OOS.O71 against $52,
OS2 in the corresponding months Of 1898;
$40, ISL 500 in the corresponding months
of 1897, and $29,9570sO in the CORES
ponding months of 1896. 1t is in truth
a wonderful showing that comes home
with more pleasure and satisfaction to
Worcester, probably, than to any other
one section of the country.

at the front, uphold them; and If you
have traitors, damn them eternally.

This young woman in Somerville
who made a wager that she could go
into one of the large department stores
in Boston and take a few articles with
out being detected, is thinking over it
now behind the bars of the Tombs
prison, and she is inclined to believe
that the girl with whom she made the
wager was right in her argument that
the person who attempted it was sure
to be caught. The eagle eye of Joe
Knox, the watch dog of the big depart
ment stores in Boston, won't allow
even the carrying out of a wager in
that way, much less the real thing.
She had money enough to buy what
she needed, and offered to return the
things, but instead of having as anus
ing an ending as she supposed. she
finds herself with a soiled reputation
and a subject of the rogues' gallery in
Chief Watts office.

LABOR UNIONS IN POLITICS.

The great activity of the labor unions
in Worcester the past year is entirely
without precedent in local sense. And
now that their forces are very consid-
cradle in the city, they are apparently
anxious to try their strength political
ly. The leaders of these trade and la
Dor organizations will do we'll to see
that this thing is not overdone. They
don't need to be told that in every wise
step The Spy will always devote itself
to their best interests. That has been
evidenced in hundred ways, but their
strength in municipal politics is not a
weapon to be lightly or thoughtlessly
used. 1t must retain right and justice
within itself, and be worthy always of
public sympathy, which is, after all
one of it's most important assets. There
are indications that the central body OF
the union is in wise and conservative
hands, and there is every reason to be-
lieve that their action will be thor
oughly studied and judiciously exc
cuted. The cause of labor, like any
other, depends on it's justice.
