ANOTHER KANSAS WONDER.

According to the Kansas City World.
an imltator OF Pere Hyacinth has arls-
en- In that city, In the person OF Fa-
Their Anthony Pollteo, priest IN the
Roman church, The Rev gentleman
has, IL Is said, taken to himself a wife.
The step does not seem TO have been
taken for the purpose OF lnaugurating
a reformatory movement in the church.
Father Politeo merely onged for free
dom from his VOWS of celibacy, and
broke the chains, He thought of keep
ing his marriage secret at the outset,
the World says, but now he has changed
his plans and announced his intention
Of giving lectures, while his wife has
some ambition for the stage,
The occurrence must be regarded as
an unusual one very few Catholic
priests ever disregarding their VOWS
An occasional exception to the rule
does, Of course, notsindlcate q tendency
among the clergy Of that church to de-
part from time -honored traditions
Pere Hyacnth, though for time he
succeeded In keeping himself before the
public, soon found his inability to ex-
ert any far-reachlng influence. Luther
was successful. but he built his work
upon far different foundation and he
had a special mission to perform for the
age In which he lived, and for ages to
come.
The cellbacy Of the Roman clergy Is
by the faithful regarded as one of their
great merits and distinctive character.

the popular ideas Of the marriage union

MATHEMATICS Ar WEST POINT.

In his message to Congress the Presi-
dent referred to West Point and its
system of education in these terms!
at West Point tho education should
be Of the kind most apt 10 turn out
men who are good In actual field SER
vice; too much stress should not be
laid ON mathematics, nor should pro-
nciency therein be held to establish the
right of entry to corps d'elite, The
typical American officer Of the lest
kind need not be a good mathemati-
clan: but he must be able to master
himself, TO control others, and to show
boldness and fertility of resource In
every emergency"
And this has given many papers an
opportunity to make adverse comments
upon that system. 1t is the result of
the experience and the best thought of
the best men of the army. II has pro-
duced Americas greatest soldiers, such
men as Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and
Hancock, Lee and Jackson. And If
trees are to be known by their fruits,
then West Points fruit has justified il
In every way. Mathematics Is the basis
Of military science and always will be,
The West Point course can no doubt
be improved in many ways, but It can
not by cutting down the mathematical
part in the least degree. Perhaps the
best way to start the improvement
would be to raise very materially the
standard OF admission, Or else TO
lengthen the course very considerably.
The former Is preferable

DOOMED IN ADVANCE,

The question Of Sunday saloons has
been prominent In New York since the
last municipal election. The lions
Herald, Methodist publication, has
therefore tried to ascertain the attitude
Of the pulpit and religious press Of the
country on that topic. AS result 1t
finds that every Methodist newspaper,
every Episcopallan, every Congrega-
tionalist but one, every Baptist but
one, every other Protestant organ, and
every Catholic journal are against IT,
quor selling on Sundays,
AS for the pulpit, the Herald claims
that among the Protestant clorgymen
fayoring some form Of Sunday liquor
traffic, It finds Bishop Potter and
Doane and perhaps a half-do2en other
Episcopalians, two Jewish rabbis, the
Rev, Dr. Charles II. Parkhurst alone
among Presbyterans, the Rev. DIT.
Minot j. Savage alone among Unitar-
ians no Congregationalst, no Baptist,
and no Roman Catholic, while Il as
serts that Eve speak with authority
in saying that the Methodist ministry
as a unit VIII for ever oppose It," The
conclusion is that the proposition to
keep the saloons open on Sunday Is
doomed in advance.

Announcement comes from Copenha
gen that the negotiations, whose exist
ence had been denied and then reat-
fimed, looking to the purchase of Dem
marks insular possessions In the Amer
lean tropics, are practically concluded
and that the United states will acquire
possession after the customary leglsla-
tive formalities have been passed
through The people of Denmark, II
seems, always have been willing to
sell provided they receive the price they
thought the islands worth. This, to an
extent, Is OF fictitious nature, since
their value Is to be determined only by
the use to which the United States will
put them. AS II has been repeatedly
said In administrative circles that this
country is not a colonlzing nation, and
would place no value on a group Of is
lands to be used for that purpose II
seems clear that their only utility is IN
forming a part OF the defenses for the
proposed isthmlan canal and a coaling
base for the navy In time of peace, but
particularly In time of war.

logical consequence Of the annexation

Cuba and the conclusion Of the Mica

not, she cannot, as she understands per-
fectly well, sell them TO anyone else
nor can she retain them without steady
loss to her exchequer. The utmost that
she can do is to keep them warm for

the negotiations, therefore. The only
matter that suffers through the Ions
postponement Is the question Of estab-
