SHALLOW CATHOLICS.

There are certain Catholics who are
forever getting worked up and Hurried
over anything derogatory to the
Church. They are SO afraid lest the
allegation may be true, and want the
thing explained, and then grow skep-
tical over the explanation Somebody
says that this Pope did so-and-so, and
that Pope did something else. and if
| this be true, why then the Church is
all wrong, and my goodness! what will
| we do.
First of all. the kind of Catholic who
gets agitated over these matters is
| generally one whose faith is shallow
and superficial, and who cherishes a
| great deal Of human respect with a
perpetual apology to their nOn-Cath-
olic friends for being Catholic, Sec
! only, they are ignorant, about as ig-
norant as their non Catholic friends, of
! the Church, its constitution and it's
history.
Now Catholics should at the outset
understand that the Church is a divine
institution, infallibly guided in it's
teachings, impregnable by divine prom
! Use against the gates of hell She is
! therefore indefectible. When then any
thing is alleged against her. which
would violate her infallibility or indie
l6CllDllly, SdllOilOS IIleiy put II uOWn
as a calumny without further concern
But a distinction is to be drawn: in
/ matters not concerning her infallibility
or indefectibility, the men charged with
her guidance may err, and many times
no doubt have erred. as in matters of
mere discipline or temporary regula-
ton.
When then something is asserted in
derogation to the Church, distinguish.
if the matter be not of faith and NOR
ais or of her prerogative of indefecti-
bility, mistake is possible, At the
same time, it remains to be proved:
nine times out of ten, critical investi-
cation will show it to be a calumny,
for we must not forget that calumny
has been the stock in trade of Profess
tant peoples for three hundred wears
with the result that the lie is a thou
sand times more likely to be alleged
against her than the truth to be told.
The conference of the Catholic col
lege men will meet in Chicago on We'd
nesday and Thursday of Easter week.
The standing committee of which the
rector of the Catholic University is
chairman, has named some very prac-
teal topics to be discussed.
Among them, with names of speak
ers, are: Uniformity of Conditions
for Entrance to Freshman Class" Rev.
James A. Burns, of Notre Dame Uni
versity; Elective System of Studies"
President Delury, of Villanova College;
Religious Instruction in College"
President McHale, of Niagara Univer-
sity; Teaching of Modern Lam
guages," President Carroll. of St. 10
seph College. Dubuque: and Develop
ment of Character in Students" Presi-
dent Bowling, Creighton University
Omaha, About ninety colleges will take
part in the conference.

days to cover transmission over the great dis

attention here, and appears to demand explana-

information concerning Ii Hung Chang, and

The report closes as follows:

In this report I have not endeavored to go
practicable the most salient features. Addi-
tional information Will probably be secured
but not of such nature to materially change
the conclusions.
Director General Rathbone maintains that he
is innocent of wrOngdoing; that these extensive
embeZZlements the result of dishonesty on
the part of subordinate officials who had been
well recommended TO him a honest and up
right men, and that he had found no cause TO
doubt their integrity efficiency of admnstra-
ton, that the revelations brought out by the
investigation were a great surprise to him and
wholly unexpected that he had believed up to
the 9th day of May last that the accounts of the
Department of Posts were kept Systematically
and honestly.
Granting that what Director General Rath-
bone states is true. he convicts himself of the
grossest carelessness in the administration Of
the affairs of his office Of an utter incapacity
TO comprehend it's duties and responsibilities.
That he careless. loved ease and refused
to give attention to details there is no doubt
He depended largely upon his subordnates
even requiring his chief clerk to sign his name
to large part OF hi correspondence apparent
ly for no other purpose than TO save the physical
labor necessary 10 append such signatures him
self But carelessness cannot account for the
drawing Of fraudulent per diem unwarranted
personal expenditures from the postal revenues
for the cashing of the warrants and fall
70 account for the money received thereon
Whether General Rathbone was guilty with
Nicely in the entertainments endeavored to be
covered up by the destruction of surcharRed
stamps is at this time a question more of opin-
ion than proof, but there can be no doubt that
