GROWING UP IN DARKNESS.
Archbishop Kennc DeplOres the Con-
ditiOn of Indians and Negroes.


Archbishop Keane, at yesterdays ser
vices in ST. Patricks Church. made a fer
vent appeal for money for the support of
the negro and Indian mission schools. He
said that today there are in this country
thousands Of negroes and Indians who
grow up in darkness and ignorance. utter
ly devoid of any conception of the respon-
sibilities Of life, and without any idea Of
religion and morals.
Archbishop Keane complained that the
Congress in having withdrawn its support
and appropriations from these schools has
committed an un-American and n-Chris-
tian act. He said the American Govern
ment has been persuaded to discriminate;
it has been persuaded that the schools
would be better taken care of if they were
taken out Of the hands OF the Church.
Bigotry, he said, has achieved victory
over the free and independent American
spirit.
I'VE must respond literally now to the
appeals made to support these schools, the
noblest work of zeal in which our love.
duty, and charity characterizes u.s." said
the Archbishop.
He then branched out and passed in e.
view the temptations to which mankind
are subject, and Satan's temptations of the
Lord, and how finally Christ triumphed
over the devil, thereby securing for hu-
manity eternal life and salvation. Later
on in his sermon Archbishop Keane said:
IF the future of American education is to
be that of the agnostic, then We are clearly
following in the footsteps of Lueifer. We
must have either an education with the
spirit and teachings of Christ or one with
the spirit and teachings of the agnostic;
it must be the one or the other"
Concluding his sermon he made fer
vent appeal for funds for the Catholic
University, for the building and perfection
of which, he said he had been sent over
by the great Leo XIII himself.
May our future not be guided by Luci
fer, but by the enlightenment of Christian
love and charity"

THE PROCESS OF MAKING oLEo

From the Philadelphia North American.
 Notwithstanding the protests of the oeo trust and it's friends in Congress, the vari- have been made public, and they are at least interesting.
 One of the processes for making the kind of butter that is sold in Pennsylvania as a dairy product is thus described in the pat ent office records:
 "The process consists in first forming soap emulsion of the fats or fatty oils with caustic soda; then precipitate the Ives; then applying chlorinated alkaline lye or chlo- rinated gas to the soap emulsion.'
 That sounds like recipe for making soft soap, but when the color is added the re- suit is gilt-edge creamery butter for the Pennsylvania market.
 Here are a few of the constituents of the advanced product of the farm;'' Bisul- phate of lime, borax, salicylic acid, benzoic acid, orris root, cottonseed oil, bicarbonate of soda, glycerine, capsylic acid, alum capsic acid, sulphate of soda, cows udder sulphuric acid, pepsin, talow, lard salt, corn starch, butyric ether, caustic potash. castor oil chalk, slippery elm bark, caul, oil of sesame, oil of sunfiower seed, olive oil, turnip seed oil, broma chloralum, chlo- rate of potash, oil of sweet almonds, oil of peanuts, peroxide of manganese, stomach of pigs, sheep or calf, nitrate of soda mus tard seed oil, nitric acid, dry blood albu- men, sugar, butyric acid, bicarbonate of potash and caustic soda. One cent pound is very modest rate of protection for such a formidable array of mineral and organic poisons and abominations.

Car Strikes Here and Elsewhere.

Berlin has just passed through a car
 one in St. Louis-that is to say, it was as
 much larger as the town is larger. In the
 Berlin strike no fewer than 5000 men were
 involved directly as strikers; and the
 populace rioted and demonstrated as
 freely in Berlin as the strikers of St.
 Louis did.
 Unlike the St. Louis case the strike in
 Berlin was for better wages. For four
 teen hours working-a working day on the
 Berlin tracks-the wage stood at seventy
 cents From the outset the sympathy of strikers; and when the companies under l took to run cars unacquainted with the l duties they assumed, rioting at once broke | out, and it was maintained until a con- promise was agreed upon by the condtend- | ing parties. The companies agreed to establish a pension fund; to reduce the 
 l drivers day to eleven hours and the con- | ductors' day to nine hours, and to give both four holidays a month. A scale of wages ranging from S5 marks for begin | ners to 120 marks for veterans was agreed | upon, with 50 pfennigs an hour for over | time.
 A correspondent thus describes scene l in the strike in Berlin, which reads mar velously like the reports of recent scenes | in St. Louis:
 "Every car which passed was lombard l ed with stones and other missiles, al | though a policeman rode on each vehicle. | Presently a revolver was fired at an cleo tric car, and then the police received or ders to charge the crowd with their sa- bers. There was no lack of thoroughness in the manner in which the order was carried out. It is impossible to give an accurate estimate of the number of per sons injured. Women and children were trampled under foot blows with the flat of sabres were administered indiscrimi- nately to whoever came within the reach l of the policemen's weapons. Two fatali- l ties were reported during the night, and | about 100 persons received surgical treat ment at various hospitals and ambulance l stations It was S3O in the evening be- l fore order was restored"
 The Berlin strike was compromised quickly, however, chiefly because the
 strikers commanded from the outset the support of the people. In St. Louis it cannot be said that the strikers had much support outside of their own and similar organizations

through such spheres than shall be levied on similar merchandise belonging to it's own nationality transported over equal distances.
 Russia simply promises to deal with all foreign merchants on common basis; but she never agreed to admit foreign mer- chants to territory controlled by her on an equal footing with her own merchants. The open-door in other words, is a figment of the administration brain. It does not eX- ist, and under MT. Hays plan never will exist except on the tongues of adminis- tration spellbnders.

NOT OPPOSED TO LABOR

From the Mobile Register
 The Birmingham Age-Herald takes MT N. F. Thompsons anti-union labor ex- pressions seriously enough to argue some of his points with him. What the Age Herald says on the subject is certainly true, for MT. Thompson's assertion that the South is opposed to organized labor is very wide of the mark. Southern labor is not thoroughly organized as labor else where but this signifies nothing. As for the fanciful idea that the law shall pro- scribe a striker and declare him a public enemy, merely to state it is to expose it's absurdity. The Constitution guarantees to every man liberty of thought and action. A man may strike, that is to say, quit work, when he pleases If he wills to break the law that protects his neighbor he is amenable to that law as is any other man. but it is folly to talk of punishing a man for exercising an inalienable right.

THE. ST. LOUIS STRIKE

 St. Louis Cor. in New York Herald June 10. The damage to property and the business community has been enormous. The fol- lowing is a summary of the damaging eff feet of the strike:
 Loss in trade (s750,OOO per day for thiry days), $22, 100000.
 Loss in salaries to wage earners thrown out of employment, $50O,O00.
 Loss to Transit Company in fares (s20, 900 per day), $600,000.
 Cost of citizens posse so far, s50,000. Cost of extra police, $50,0O0.
 Extra cost in guarding property of com pany s2O,OOO.
 Loss in wages to 4,0O0 strikers, $24O,0Oo. Number of strikers, 4000.
 Number of women and children depend- ing on strikers, 10000.
 Street railway systems affected, 13. Miles of track owned by the Transit Com pany, 200.
 Louis thus far aggregates the enormous total of nearly s24,OO0,0 000 With the citizens posse on the pay roll at daily cost of $10,- GOO, this figure is likely to be greatly in- creased before the end of the strike. On the citizens posse number promin- ent in the business and social community. Several millonaires are among them. On the posse are two preachers, the Rev. s. J. Niccolls, a prominent Presbyterian minis ter, and the Rev. w. B. Palmer, well known Methodist minister.

THE ANTITRUST AMENDMENT

From the Boston Herald.
 It looks very much as if those Republi- cans who are undertaking to continue the farcial proceedings attending the introduc- tion of the antitrust amendment to the Constitution in Congress are making a mistake. It is reported from Washington that they are disposed to make a merit of their support of this as the sixteenth amendment, and to charge the Democrats with favoring the trusts because they would not vote for it, But Republican newspapers refusing to sustain them in this action. The Hartford Courant con- temptuously says: We are not shedding a tear over the fate of the proposed six teenth amendment. The politicians re- in their own trade" The New York Sun said of the amendment some days ago that this is the most dishonest, and, therefore, the most discreditabe piece of work achieved during the present session by the leaders of Republican policy in the House." and added that ''the dishonesty of the performance lies in the fact that there was no expectation on the part of the author of this resolution, or of the Republicans on the judiciary committee, who favorably reported it, or of the Re publicans of the House who were willing to vote for it, that the proposed sixteenth amendment will ever amount to more than a campaign trick of the cheapest and un- worthiest description" And the Sun said further on the same occasion that 'it is deserving of the contempt of all citizens who value a great party's reputation fo- sincerity of purpose or hold that good faith Is a matter of consequence in the individuals intrusted with the resporsibili- ties of political leadership"

At a Reasonable Price.

The good and great Mir. Hanna who championed the provision in the naval ap- propriation that hands over to Secretary Long the purchase of 5000 tons of armor plate at any price he sees fit to pay, stated
 that $6OO a ton would be "a reasonable
 price," So it would perhaps be from MT
 Hanna's campaign subscription point of sworn witnesses whose testimony was off, cially gathered and reported, it would be fully $500 a ton too much Whatever sum is paid over $500 a ton-a sum that in-
 cludes big round profts-must be consider
 ed as a loot of the treasury for the benefit
 of the combine and the Hanna campaign fund.
 It is stated that the Midvale Steel Works are now prepared to bid for the huge
 armor plate contract involving about s15,- 0OOOO0 Ii the Midvale Company is really outside the Carnegie Bethlehem trust, it may reduce the price to the neighborhood of $500; but the chances are that the Mid vale is sly partner in the trust, and that all three of the Pennsylvania concerns are in reality one.
 The pretence that the Krupp process is a difficult process-that it is a secret pro- |! cess-that it is a patented process on which royalty must be paid, is untrue. There is nothing hidden, nothing secret, in the process All mechanical engineers under stand it, and any big steel mill can be equipped to make Krupp plate There is in fact but one reason for submission to the terms of the Hanna-Pennsylvania com bine, and that is the bargain between MT Hanna and the trust which Mir. Long is expected to carry out. Will he do it? Will | he rob the people and loot the treasury in order to create a campaign fund and still further enrich the Carnegie combine, Will
 he do it? We shall see.

HE oaIy DAILY nsWsPApEa IN ALABAMA
Stump Speeches Not Needed.

The two Alabama Senators have big battle before them. They have the trans continental railroads to contend with not to mention the Panama schemes, and the Eastern influences that are jealous of the rising importance of the Gulf ports. They have all the influences antagonistic to the Gulf to fight-all the influences that do not want to see the Gulf of Mexico become another Mediterranean sea- They have this battle to fight for Alabama's sake, be- sides all the other battles that go with senatorial careers.
 There is nothing before the country that will so prosper Alabama and the other Gulf States as will the early construction of the Nicaragua canal. It is the one great national work that we need in order to win better markets for our lumber, naval stores, iron, steel coke, coal, cotton and cotton goods. We need the canal, and we neeu IL IOl llly years uSIlSS, Dul etS SOoh as it can be built.
 The fight for an immediate authorization of the work must be led by Senator Nor gan, as it long has been, ably seconded by Senator Pettus, whose growing reputation is giving him additional weight and strength. Upon these two men rests the great task to an extent little known in this State; and the Age-Herald expresses the hope that both will look more to it than to the pending campaign. There is nothing at stake in the pending campaign that calls for the work of either upon the stump. The climate of Alabama in the summer months is not boreal and the Age Herald protests against work in it on the stump by either Senator when there is real ly no occasion for it-no issue that needs elucidation or argument-no cause that is not fully understood by the people, An address before the new Legislature in No vember would have good effect, but any work on the stump before that time would
 
 be supererogatory.
 Let both of Alabama's famous Senators rest. Let them make ready for the battle of next session, when the question of build ing the greatest canal of the age will come up for settlement. Let them gather ture is to be changed and the two great seas of this world joined This is the work that Alabama expects from her Sen- ators, and she is not demanding and will not demand their services on the stump.

Open po& Policy.

It begins to be apparent that Secretary of State Hays boasted open-door agree ment is not much of an achievement after all It is not at all iron-clad, either so other powers are concerned. It is in fact nothing more than an ideal that is non enforcible. and that lacks even European assent
 Great Britain agrees to maintain an open door in Chinese territory under her in- fluence, provided the other powers will do likewise. Russia 6atly refuses to open the door at Port Arthur or in Manchuria ex- temporary; and as Germany, France, Japan and Italy promised to maintain the open-door policy in case all other powers concerned did likewise it is plain the whole house of paper notes is about to tumble down. The Russian refusal did it.
 There was nothing of 1t to begin with It was not signed, sealed and delivered. It was merely surface talk-tentative diplomacy China herself wants a closed door; Russia does also; France subserv- iently follows Russia, and the rest plead Russian and French inaction as an excuse for brushing away the entire proposition MT. Hay aimed to secure three things namely:
 First that 1t (the assenting power) will in nowise interfere with any treaty port or any vested interest within any so-called sphere of interest or leased territory it may have in China.
 Second. That the Chinese treaty tariff of chandise landed or shipped to all such ports as are within such sphere of interest (unless they may be free ports), no mat ter to what nationality it may belong, and that duties so leviable shall be collectible by the Chinese Government
 Third. That 1t (the assenting power) will levy no higher harbor dues on vessels of another nationality frequentng any port in such sphere than shall be levied on yes sels of its own nationality, and no higher railroad charges over lines built, con trolled or operated within its sphere on merchandise belonging to citizens or sub jects of other nationalities transported
