"THE BAD DROP"

James Mckinley, a Perthshire
! Scotchman, went to Ireland in 1851 as
a soldier in William of Oranges army.
He fought in the battle of the Boyne
and afterward settled in Ulster on con-
fscated land. His son, David McKin-
! ley, was born in Ulster, but at a, COM
paratively early age came to America.
This David Mckinley was the great
great-grandfathe of President McKin-
ley"
Commenting on the above quotation
from the New York Sun, the Irish
World rises to remark that William of
Washington has the same bad drop
in him as had his namesake of Or
ange. Four years ago Mr.. Ford, the
editor, held an entirely different opin-
ion. He had the blood of Mr. McKin-
ley. analysed and the analysis showed
to the readers of the Irish World that
it was the genuine simon-pure, aristo-
cratic blue of Ireland. But that was
at time when the poor working man
was threatened with having his dollar
reduced to a fifty-cent valuation" and
World, but the American Industrial
Liberator as well, he could not stand
for that. Accordingly, he supported
Mr.. Mckinley, While the Freeman's
Journal, which he also controls, en-
dorsed the candidacy of Mr.. Bryan.
A change, however, has come over
the spirit of the great Irish EDITORS
dreams, and he thinks that William
Mckinley is just about statesman
enough to be master of an Orange
lodge in Belfast, and, he adds, had
the family remained in Ireland that
would be about the job he would be
holding down" today, "one of the rank
and file who amuse themselves so fire.
quently by cursing the Pope, wrecking
Catholic churches and insulting and
assaulting Catholic priests and nuns"
Mr.. Ford continues: But, though
Williams ancestry did not give him the
chance of taking a hand in such con-
genial work in Ireland, he has not been
altogether shut out from opportunities
in a similar line. What William of
vi duSG anu luG SCOlCn MI
Kinleys who followed him did in Ire
land, William of the White House and
his Anglo-Saxon supporters are doing
today in the Philippine islands-rob-
bling and slaughtering Catholics guilty
of no crime but fighting for freedom
of their native land, while in the good
old Belfast Orange style and spirit he
mckinley has carefully excluded
Catholics from the Americans" sent
officially to Cuba and Porto Rico-both
Catholic countries.
This, of COURSE. is natural enough.
Mckinley of the White House is a wor-
thy descendant of James the robber of
two centuries ago, who helped to rob
the Catholics of Ulster, and took his
share of the swag. William of Wash
ington is true to his ancestry. The bad
drop is in him.

London, England, July Is. 1900.
I left Paris last Monday morning, ar
irving in London the same evening.
Truly l was not sorry to leave Paris.
Although architecturally it is one of
the most beautiful cities in the world,
there were so many other uninviting
situations that left it with a feeling
of satisfaction and relief.
If Max O'Rell found much to amuse
him in America, the American viii find
much to disgust him in France. OF
course, allowance must be made for the
difference in the customs and manners
of the people. but from the customs.

wards Of Paris, the Mecca of French
men, which furnish them with peren-
NAL delight, make an American SILVER
as he contemplates their unsanitary
condition, not to speak of the lack of
moral sanity everywhere obvious.
I am quite sure there is no health
commissioner in Paris, for if the con-
ditions which prevail on the swell bou-
levards Of that city were to obtrude
themselves for a moment in Denver,
DR.. Carlin would have the entire DO
lice force out on an emergency call.
But, as l have said, Paris is a city.
magnificent in its buildings of every
character. It teens with monuments
of deepest interest. In it may be found
that which will satisfy every mind. The
specialist, the student, the scientist the
artist the tourist, all will find much to
please and edify them in the gay
French capital
All these things that are pelasing and
agreeable we may admire, but without
improperly we may mildly condemn
customs and habits that do not seem
TO be the result of civilization.
Socially my stay in Paris was delight
full, and 1 must make grateful acknowl-
edgement of the many acts of courtesy
from National Commissioner and Mrs.
Thomas Z. Walsh, who have been I'M

SIGN OF THE CROSS WITH
TRoWEL.

Salt Lake, Aug 2, 1900.
Editor Intermountain Catholic: In
describing the laying of the cor
ner-stone you state that it was
part of your ritual to make
the sign of the cross with trowel in
said stone. What is your authority for
such ceremony? If you have no au-
| thority is it not superstition or a
relic of the dark ages? The above diff
ficulty is propounded not to provoke
controversy, but for the enlightenment
of one who wishes to see matters hon
estly explained.
A SEARCHER OF TRUTH.
The spirit displayed by our esteemed
correspondent is fair and honest. To
enlighten him and all who are cropping
in the darkness is one of the missions
of The Intermountain which will al
ways freely and cheerfully answer any
difficulties that may suggest them
selves. First, the authority for making
the sign of the cross is that of the
church commissioned by her divine
founder to do all things in His name
This authority as far as it goes is d.
vine, and, therefore, no higher could
be given. All who admit the divine
origin of Christianity must also con-
cede the same to the body of teachers
or church selected and founded by the
Goldman. Did not He Himself say,
"He that viii not hear the church, let
him be to thee as q heather and a
the church under such a severe penal
ty necessarily implies that she has au-
thority to legislate and regulate her
own ceremonies and discipline. As to
being a superstition the answer fol-
lows from the explanation given A
superstition is an unauthorized IRA
tional fear of that which is unknown.
or mysterious. In no sense could this
be applied to what took place at the
laying of the cornerstone The third
and last difficulty in the communica-
ton is, that it is relic of the dark
ages, to which The 1ntermountain
pleads guilty. When studying it's orr
gin we find as Maacully would express
it, that 'it carries the mind back to
the time when the smoke of sacrifice
rose from the Pantheon, and when
came leopards and tigers bounded in
the Flavian amphitheatre' 1t dates
farther back than what is known as
the dark ages. 1t had its origin in Cal
vary, where the Savior of mankind was
crucified. Tertullian in the year POP
wrote his Liber de Sorona; and in G.
III is this passage: 'At every step and
movement whenever we come in or go
out, when we dress ourselves, or pre-
pare to go abroad, at the bath, at Ia
BILE, when lights are brought in, or
lying or sitting down; whatever we be
doing, we make the sign of the cross
upon our foreheads." st. John Chrys-
ostom, who was Archbishop of Con-
stantinople from 39S to 4O7, whose fame.

symbol of the cross present to us. On
this account we paint and sculpture it
on our houses, our walls and our win
dows, we trace it on our brows, and
we studiously imprint it on our souls

POPE LEO ON THE CATHOLIC
PRESS.

A Catholic newspaper in a parish is
a perpetual mission. Let all who truly
and from their souls desire that re-
Hgion and society defended by human
intellect and literature should flourish,
strive by their liberality to guard and
protect the Catholic press, and let
every one in proportion to his income
support them with his money and in
luence, 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.

ANARCHISTS MEET TO ExUrr.
Applaud the Action of Humbert's As

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. IA special to
the Commercial azette says:
Tonight. at the mouth of an aban-
doned mine near Shaner station, on the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad a large
gathering of anarchists met to exult
over the killing of King Humbert. The
meeting was in charge of G. Ciancabil-
Ia, editor of LAurora, the anarchist
newspaper of Hoboken. N. J., who
spoke for an hour, rousing his hear
ers to a high pitch of rejoicing.
Ciancabilla disclaimed all knowledge
of Bresci's mission to Italy, but hearth
ly approved of the result. When the
speeches were concluded resolutions
were adopted and this cablegram or
dered by the group to be sent:
ITO Minister GarraciO, Rome: We are
exultant over the death of the king who
massacred the people. Hurrah for our
comrade, Bresci.
