are fixed and stable because God so
decreed. If he had wished that the
sun should rule in the heavens one
day and the moon the next it would
be SO now. If God wished that the
earth should revolve in its orbit in
fixed rotation, but on one or two occa-
sions in six thousand years should
stand still, it is no derogation from
Gods power and immutability to have
it happen SO. II there is any interpo-
sition in the physical laws at any time,
we must conclude there was made an
exception to Gods arbitrary law from
the beginning. To assert that the au-
thor of law is incapable of making
an exception is to place the law above
the law-giver.
The correctness of this position Is

Tubingen now admit that there is
nothing unscientific in miracles; but
they deny their efficacy as testimonies
to the truth to establish which they
are invoked. They say miracle that
would cause the earth to stand still
would be only the act of God, no more
direct or extraordinary than that
which causes it to move in it's usual
courses. If the voice of Our Lord
gave sight to the blind it was just as
natural that such effect should fol-
low such cause as that man should
have eyes at all. That is true. A
miracle is not miracle because man
should wonder at it but because men
do wonder at it. Any manifestation
of the supernatural in nature attests
the power and presence of God; and
the sight Of God is SO wonderful that
it is an aphorism Of the Old Testament
that no one can see God and live.

Why is it that a newspaper is mailed

Why is it that a newspaper is mailed
week by week to subscriber who re-
fuses to read it and returns it regu-
larly to the publication Office? Be-
cause the paper was not paid for up
to the time the subscriber ordered it to
be stopped. The label on the paper
always tells the date up to which the
subscription was paid and, according
to law, the subscriber must pay for
every paper sent to him thereafter
until he has settled his account. When
the paper is sent for weeks and months
and years to subscriber and comes
back regularly it is sign that his
credit is good. After he settles up,
the paper is Immediately stopped. At
the end of a certain period legal pro-
ceedings will be taken against delin-
quent subscribers to obtain judgment
and enforce payment.

Any American paper that publishes
an attack on an individual or organiza-
ton should also, in spirit of fair
play, publish q reply to the attack.
The New York Times, pro-British
paper, does not do so. 1t recently
published sermon to Orangemen by u
Lutheran minister who made an at
tack on Catholicity in this country,
but refused to publish refutation of
his false and malicious accusations
from Catholic priest. The New
York Times is a British sheet. Were
it otherwise it would have given both
sides Of the question or neither. The
tactics of the Times are reprehensible
in the extreme and the Catholics of
the West should make a note of it..
Don't subscribe for any anti-Catholic
paper like the New York Times.

ScHLEY IS sLANDERED.

The Sampson-Schley controversy has
reached it's climax. For three years
the hero Of Santiago has ignored the
attacks of the naval authorities and
maintained dignified silence. Secre-
tary Long, in speech at Minneapolis,
lauded Sampson at the expense of
Schley and was vociferously rebuked
for his partisanship. The partisan Or
gans Of the administration and the ad-
vocates of plutocracy have lost no op-
portunity in casting aspersions on Ad-
miral Schley. They have persisted in
giving Sampson the entire credit of
destroying Cervera's fleet in Santiago
bay, though he was absent at the time
and the battle was fought and won by
Schley.
Patience has ceased to be a virtue
with the popular admiral when he is
charged with cowardice by literary
hack of the administration named
Maclay in his book on the American
navy. Before publishing the ISLANDERS
the author submitted his manuscript
to Admiral Sampson, who is reported
as saying that the statements made by
Maclay were substantially true, as
they appeared to be taken from official
reports. 4f'
One of the statements made by the
so-called historian regarding Schley is
that he ran away sin caitiff fight"
from Cervera. In addition he is de-
'nounced as coward, cur and a
traitor. "Schley's contribution to naval
strategy" says Maclay, twas: avoid
your enemy as long as possible, and
ii he makes for you, rum"
Admiral Schley has demanded an
investigation from Secretary Long,
and that opponent of his has appointed
court Of inquiry composed of three
members, of which Admiral Dewey is
president. Owing to the hot weather
the court of naval officers will not sit
till September, and it's sessions will be
open instead of secret in order that
the people may know everything that
transpires in the celebrated trial.
1t is believed that Dewey will see
justice done to Schley, and that the
hostile clique in the navy department
must bring the strongest of evidence
to convince an impartial tribunal of
''his brothers-in-arms' that Schley has
been guilty of conduct unbecoming an
officer and gentleman.
The fact that Sampson avows that
he read the proofs of the attack OH
Schley in Maclay's third volume of his
history shows how jealous he is of
Schley's fame as naval hero. In re-
porting the battle of Santiago, Samp-
son monopolized the credit for the vic
tory achieved and made no mention of
Schley. 1t was also reported at the
time that instead Of complimenting
Schley for destroying the Spanish fleet,
the Irish upstart who has developed
into a social snob, treated him with
discourtesy.
Fighting Bob Evans" has come out
as friend of Schley's, though hither-
to he was counted an enemy. Samp-
sons tacit endorsement of Maclay's
vulgar TRADE against Schley effected
change in Evans. The trial is destined
to be a prolonged one, which will be
read by future generations. The YER
dict of the naval court will hardly end
it, and congress may yet take it up.
The American people will see. to it
that Schley gets fair and impartial
trial.
