THE PITH OF POLITICS.
(By ARrzuH J. PrrLsBURY)


It is proverb that politics makes
strange bedfellows and it ought to be
proverb that politics makes bedfellows
strange and puts them into strange stu
atlons. OF all the strange poses that
the exgencies of Office hunting have COM
PEELED the new Democracy to assume
nothing has ever excelled that of the
present pose of Mr.. Bryan's party as
the party of great moral ideas. It re-
minds me that "When the devil was
sick the devil a saint would be, but
when the devil got well-that was dif-
ferent." The burden of the Bryanistic
press is heavy with holy horror of the
wickedness of the Republican party
and its managers and the novice in
politics would be excusable for gather
ing from the platform which Mr.. Bryan
imposed upon tie Kansas City conven-
tion that heavy majority of the dele
gates had lately been kneeling at the
seat of mercy and were under convic-
tion for sin. AS cold matter of his
tory however the antecedents of the
amalgamated organization are not in
keeping with present protestations and
the unctuous morality of the new De-
mocracy is that of the recent convert
and the American people will be wise
if they insist upon long probation
prior to the extention of the right hand
of fellowship.
The Bryan press is melodious in de-
nunciation of the administration at
Washington for attempting temporarily
to govern certain undeveloped peoples,
incapable of self-goyernment, without
their formal consent, but when it comes
to disfranchising, in the interests of
white supremacy, as many native citi-
zens of our own country as there are
men of mature age in the Island of Lu-
zon these same papers are strangely
quiecent. What is sauce for the goose
does not seem to be sauce for that gandar

MAN.

Man is a creature composed of a
body and soul, and made to the image
and likeness of God. In thisdefinition
given in the Catechism, we have the
body composed of matter and the soul
which is a spirit The former has SEN
sible properties, the latter has not The
sensible qualities detected by one or
more Of the five senses, do not con-
stitute the essence of the matter which
compose the body, and they mark its
difference from the spirit which is i'm
pervious TO any sense. The soul, hav-
ing none of the sensible signs that the
body has must be a different substance
from the body.
We call the body the material sub
stance, the soul must be an inmate
rial substance that is, not composed of
matter by which one could hear, see,
touch, smell or taste. Matter is a SEN
siible substance; it is the power of re-
sistance; it can be removed, broken,
comminuted or modified, but not de-
gtroyed The soul does not take in any
of these qualities. Matter, from the
fact that it exists, must be active, but
its activity does not include the power
of thought or reason. 1t is devoid of
intelligence and without a soul. When
separate from the soul that it when
death comes its sensitiveness intelli-
gence and reasoning faculties are
gone.
But we are told that the COW, the
horse, the dog, in fact all animals have
intelligence and must, for the same
reason that we ascribe a soul to man,
have an immaterial soul too Do we
not detect a force that cannot be seen
which is not matter operating in them
as we don in man? Then they have
a soul. Yes, they have an immaterial
soul, but not a rational immortal
soul Even the vegetable kingdom has
a soul, but not a sensitive, intelligent
soul like that Of the animal. The ba-
sis of life in the vegetable and animal
kingdom as well as that of man may
be called soul; only those of the two
former are not human souls The dis
tinctive feature of the animal soul
from that Of the plant is it has an in
telligent, sensitive nature. and that of
the human from the other two NAV be
given in the words of the catechism
namely: THE soul is like God be-
cause 1t is spirit that will never die

themselves a grand supper and a fine

NO PRAYER FOR THE KING.
From the eDseret Evening News. Sc

(From the eDseret Evening News. Sep
TENDER g.
The attitude of Pope Leo XIII to-
ward the murdered King of Italy
proves that the visible Head of the
Roman Church has never relinauished
his claim to proprietorship of the old
Papal State, though since the conquests
of Victor Emmanuel he has gIoried in
the title of the prisoner of the Vati-
can" But the manner in which the
protest has been made against what is
regarded as a uSurpation is rather
startling for the age in which we are
living. 1t is doubtful too whether its
effect will be sympathy for the Roman
Church and its venerable head.
Shortly after the assassination of
Humbert, the Queen composed a rosary
Of prayers for the King, and presented
it TO the Bishop of Cremona for sane
ton. This was granted for the dio-
cese in which the King lived, and pray
ers were consequently offered by pious
Catholics for the repose of the soul of
the King, according to Catholic Gus
toms and ideas. But the pope inter
vened and prohibited the use of the
prayer, both in private and in public
worship.
There can be no doubt that the Pope
was technically correct in this. The
King was an opponent of Papal author
lty as far as this is claimed in secular
and political affairs. But to refuse to
the Queen the comfort of prayers for
his salvation, or to deny to him on the
other side of the veil the supposed ben
eft of the intercession of his friends.
is unworthy of an organization which
professedly exists for the salvation of
ALL including the erring ones. The Pope

nanimity to a dead opponent If his

A Catholic newspaper in a parish is
a perpetual mission. Let all who truly
and from their souls desire that re-
ligion and society defended by human
intellect and literature should flourish,
strive by their Iiberality to guard and
protect the Catholic press, and let
every one in proportion to his income
support them with his money and in
fluence, for to those who devote them
selves to the Catholic press we ought
by all means to bring helps of this
kind, without which their industry will
either have no results or uncertain and
miserable ones. POPE LEO XIII.

Convention Of tho White Metal
Republicans In Session at
Kansas City.

Kansas City. July 5.--When the Silver
Republican National Convention was
called to order today by Temporary
Chairman Teller the subcommittee APP
pointed hast night to draw UP plat
form was still far from an agreement.
The subcommittee held another ses-
sion this morning I'm an endeavor 10
decide on the disputed question of inn
perialism. The insertion of an anti inn
perahst plank was only opposed by
western members of the sub-commit-
tee many OF whom are avowed expan-
sionists. and who favor the ignoring OF
the issue altogether. Up TO the time of
convening. however, this point had not
been decided and II was stated that the
platform probably would not be COM
pleted until late this afternoon.
After a short recess the committee on
credentials reported. The delegates
present were represented as follows.
Nebraska 25: Idaho Is: Wisconsin 13;
Indiana 4: Kansas 2S7: Illinois 64. Ar
kansas -: New Jersey 20; Utah 10;
Louisiana s: Iowa 100; California "a,
Ohio 100: Minnesota 100; South Dakota
10: North Dakota 25; Colorado i1:
Washington 20; Texas ?: Montana s.;
Oklahoma !.
The report was adopted.
The committee on permanent organi-
zation then reported the selection OF
Judge l.. w. Brown of Ohio as perma-
nent chairman of the convention. and
II. q. McGeary Of California as perma-
nent secretary. Judge Brown said that
as the east turned 10 the west in the
time OF Lincoln. so IL again turned to
the west and found leader I'm the per-
son OF William J. Bryan.
The mention OF Brvan's name gave
the convention an opportunity Of show
ing it's loyalty To the Democratic leader.
The chairman's further allusion to
Charles a. X. Towne as the candidate
for second place caused a more em-
phatic applause than that accorded to
Bryan.
