WHY NOT AMERICAN CARDINALS.
We have one American cardinal and
only one. The church in America is still
no doubt in the missionary stage, ana
the one cardinalate IS in Rome, perhaps,
deemed quite adequate to its Importance.
Americans themselves, and especially
American Catholics. can hardly be re-
garded as taking SO modest a view Of
the situation.
The ceremonies attending the Invest
ment of Mgr artinelu with the cardinal
ate, which are very fully reported In
the daily press, are very impressive.
The fact that they are conducted on
American soil lends to them degree
of popular interest among Americans
which could hardly be secured for them
otherwise
But Cardinal Martinelli is an italian
cardinal not an American. He may be
recalled at any moment from his present
exalted station as the representative OF
his holiness in the United States. Then.
of course. whatever American attributes
or characteristics may be associated with
the event Will he lost to sight forever.
just as all thought of Mgr. SatoIli's car
dinalate on the part Of Americans, long
since ceased.
There is quite enough pride Of race ana
nationhood among American Catholics
to lead them to expect, and, indeed, to
have continued expecting for many years
past. that It would have occurred to the
Vatican to have chosen before this time
one or two associates to Cardinal Glib
bons FROM among the ranks of the Ameri-
can hierarchy. 1t is not too much to say
that there is considerable feeling of dis
appointment felt all over the country
among Catholics, and, to some extent.
among non-Catholics also. that such
action has not been taken The honors
in process of. being conferred on Mgr
Martinelli will hardly meet the expecta.
lions in this regard Of the American peo-
pie.
There are many American prelates, the
holiness and usefulness of whose lives
would suggest themselves an fitting OBJ

nifty. What the popular preferences may
be or may be assumed to be matters lit
tie The belief is universal that the
Catholics of the United States might
with advantage to themselves and to the
advancement of their religion in Ameri-
ca receive from Rome that recognition
of their devotion which they would re-
gard as involved in a material extension
OF the list Of cardinals in the New World.
Whatever the will of the papal powers
may be will of course be acceptable 20
all American Catholics. This paper does
not profess to speak for them save as
an important constituent of American
society; but it feels free to say that
their non-Catholic fellow citizens would
rejoice greatly if their known wishes and
expectations in that respect were to be
fulfilled.

GREAT AT FIGURES.
An Indiana Man Who Can Multiply
in Ga Ways With Great RaDidfty.

in GA Ways With Great Rapidly.
Arthur F. Griffith. of Warsaw Tn5
commonly known as the lightning cal
culator, and conceded to be the great
est mathematician in Indiana. saws the
indianapolis News, was born on a farm
near Milford, this county, on the 18th
day of July 1880. From the time ne
was able to talk until the present his
whole though has been on The subject
OF mathematics. When but a small lad
ne would frequently count the numb
of potatoes his mother peeled. or tho
number of the ears Of corn husked bv
ms rather. One day he counted the num-
Der OF sticks Of wood sawed by sew
eral men. the total being $3.50
When Griffith was ten years old his
parents moved to Milford, ana for the
next seven years he ATTENDED the public
schools there. The teachers were m
able to teach him anything in the line
of mathematics, and found 1t very diff
ficuit to interest him in anything else:
so, at the age of seventeen lis educa-
ton ceased.
The extent and diversity OF Gr.mth's
mathematical knowledge was first know
to the public about two years ago. AMI
since that time he has peen progressing
rapidly in all branches Of his favorite
study.
Somewhat doubling what he had heard
Of Griffith, Ernest II. Under. associate
professor of psychology at Indiana Uni
versity, sent for him in November, 1897.
Griffith remained at the university for
three months studying algebra and Civ
ing exhibitions before the classes. At
the end of three months. IN charge Of
Prof. Lindley, he was ta-sen 10 Yale Uni
versty, at New Haven, Conn. where ne
dumfOunded all by his rapid calculating
and the able manner in which he could
explain how he could work all problems
prOpounded to him.
Griffith is about five feet eight inches
in height and weighs $50 pounds. HIS
hair is very dark and his eyes jet biloxi
and exceedingly bright. He talks very
fast and with a slight break in his
speech, which makes it somewhat difficult
to understand him.
Griffith now has eight different methods
of his own for addition. ten for division
and sixty-four for multiplication. He
can take any number &c ween go ard
600 and raise il to the fifth power IN
thirty-nine seconds without the use or
either pencil or paper while in working
with pencil and paper G6U operations axe
necessary. Griffith. can mentally add
three columns at a time divide any st
Of figures, multiply any set Of figures in
fromN one to forty seconds All eXtr-c.
square and cube roots IN from three 10
fifteen seconds. He remembers ev-.y
problem that he works. The hardest test
which he has yet been given, 81 re
claims, is to stand and ses a II Iglt
train pass with twenty or thirty cars
and then tell the number Of each car IN
order and to what road each belongs

Each morn, just after night has fled.
l rose me from my downy bed,
With ancient toys my fat form deck,
Then pail the spotted COW called Speck
When that is done, 1 find a charm
In toiling on my rented farm,
Where I am trying hard to raise
Some peas and beans and rye and maize
And melons which will take the prize
All this do for exercise.
doc" Bixby in Lincoln Journal
I've got a picture Of you, Doc,
Arising as the family clock
Is Ginning out the hour OF five,
And striving to unloose the give
That sleep has fastened In your eyes.
1 fancy I can see you rise,
And put aside the bed gown white,
In which you slumber through the night;
1 see you putting on your hose,
Your breeches and your other clothes,
And Fastening out upon the lawn
Before the crimson flush of dawn
Has set the eastern sky on fire;
And touched, with rosy light, each spire
And dome and tower Of that quaint town
In which Rosewater was '-trun down 1"
That tale of yours may make a hit
With those who know you not, but II
Is just a bit too strong for me-
And 1 must disbeiieve it-see?
You may remember that, one day
Last June-cr maybe it was May
walked with you through that same
plot
OF ground you call your Garden lot"
I saw the pumpkins that you raise,
The peas and beans, the beets and maize.
Or rather, I should say 1 saw
The places where, by natures law,
The fruits of which you pirate so loud
And Of which you will be so proud,
Should have been lying had there been
A single one to have been seen.
For, although you had planted seeds,
All I discerned was weeds. weeds, weeds.
Why you mendacious poet, you
Have not looked on the thing called deq'
For forty years, and maybe more.
The reason is you lie and snore
Until the glittering drops that gem
Each tiny plant and growing stem
Have been drunk up by that fierce sun
That rose before your sleep was done
At least three hours, and maybe tour.
So, Doctor, tell to me no more
The things you do for exercise,
For really It would not surprise
A single one of US to know
The pace at which you daily go
That they may be done by your wife,
But not by you, Doc. on your life.

MAKE AN END OF 1T.

The condition Of affairs which is re-
vealed through the columns of the daily
press as existing in the administration
Of the government of the city Ct Mime
apolis is sufficient to bring scandal and
disgrace upon any community. The
latest reports show. if, indeed, any adj
dftional evidence in that behalf were
necessary. that the czil e,em nts of so,
ciety are acting Hndary the immed ate
tutelage of the city administration. The
personal guardianship of city officials,
exercised over the affairs CT such err
sons, appears plain in each additional
order concerning them which emanates
from the executive department.
The popular will, as expressed in tn >
result of successive elec iops, may 10:
always be followed by such results al
the law-abidng elements of soci .ty
would like to see. But in Minneapol's
since the change wrought through the
of things sufficient to make every decent
citizen of that community blush. Ths
mayor is openly charged with acting in
completely with these whose activities
are maintained against both law and
morals 1t is openly charged through
the public press, and nothing said in de-
NAL, that the police force, reorganize1
as the result of Mayor Ames' eleoti)n
is in open collision with criminals, an
that its members are receiving money
compensation for their tole alton of
crime. The closing of all disorderIy
houses by direct order of the mayor, and
the refusal unGer the same orders of the
representatives of such laces to pay the
customary fines inl4 os. d en- them adds
to the situation an element of disord n
Illness which brings it 10 theavery verge
OF governmental chaos.
The grand jury now in session in Min
neapolis should take hold and put an end
to such a disGraceful situation. 1t is in
consistent with the maintenance of law
and order. Neither life nor property can
be secure when the state of things which
all acknowledge to exist is maintained.
The responsibility should be fixed If
the charges which are leveled against
the mayor are sustained he should be
removed from office If those which are
made against his police administration
are sustained, and he does not think it
proper to remove the. offenders, he is as
fully deserving of removal, ~
But one-third of the period Of the pres
ent administration has expired There
are one year and eight months yet
to elapse before any change can be
wrought through the electorate. Surely
the city cannot endure the prevailing
state of things for any such length of
time. 1t is net necessary to believe that
the mayor is wholly responsible He
probably is not But it certainly ought
not to be impossible to locate the bulk
of the blame. The conditions which pro
duce such results should be removed
The grand jury has it in its power by
wise and judicious action, not acting in
any spirit Of party political prelude ?,
nor from any motive other than the sub
standal welfare of the city and its peo-
pie, to restore something like normal and
decent conditions in city administration.
