Are You a Dancer 2

Bishop McCloskey announces,
through his official organ, his con-
demnation of dancing at picnics,
He says: eve have no hesitation
in saying, in connection with this,
that many of the dances in vogue.
and engaged in, particularly on
such excursions, and at like enter
tainments in the name of charity
are az abomination and desoia-
tion. They are, to say the least
simply shameful and immoral.
They shock and scandalize, and
should bring the blush TO the
cheeks of self-respecting Christian
men and women. They .imperil
gravely imperil, the souls of all,
especially the young, and many
there are who come forth from
such dancings with smitten con-
science and blighted souls, and who
trace their downward career and
misery in after life to them. We
speak severely, but in all candor.
In so doing we are not advancing
merely our own views, but the
unanimous teachings of all the
fathers, doctors and catechists of
the church. With one accord they
inveigh against dancing and i'm
plore-urgently implore--C hris =
tians TO avoid them.

write more elaborate description
of these isles next time, and / will
now proceed to make my word
good:
The Philippines are bunch Of
trouble on the horizon of ciyiliza-
tion. They are bounded on the
west by Hoodooism and smugglers,
on the north by rocks and destruc-
tion, on the east by typhoons and
monsoons, and on the south by can
nibals and earthquakes.
Malarial fever is so prevalent
that on many occasions the islands
have been shaken as if by chill,
or because of the vibration of the
population. The climate is a de
ceptive combination Of changes,
well adapted to raising cain.
The soil is very fertile and large
crops of insurrection and treachery
are produced. The inhabitants are
very industrious, their chief occu-
patton being trench. digging and
the making of bolos. Their houses
are made chiefly of bamboo and
landscape
We have to watch these natives
like ca. watching mouse. Hence
in Cabior one company of us looks
after the town.

marriaue Costs 81.

The order issued by Gen. Wood
fixing 81 as the marriage fee in
Cuba, whether the ceremony be re-
ligious or civil, is step Of great
Importance. One of the evils
which led the Cuban people to re-
volt against Spanish rule was the
high cost of marriage. Am expense
running all the way from $40 to-
$40 was formerly necessary wheth-
er performed religiously or civilly.

THE PLATFORM.
The report Of the Committee ON
Resolutions after upholding the
party in State, National and insu-
lar affairs, says, in part:
The principle of protection has
achieved its most signal triumph
in the results of the Dingley tariff
law. 1t has given us marked
prosperity at home and rapidly
growing export trade which are
the envy Of the world. Tariff
schedules which will protect Amer
lean labor against the row wages
paid foreign labor must be main
tanned. We reafiin all declara-
tions, heretofore made by the Re-
publican party in favor Of reci-
procity and urge the making of
such additional treaties, based on
the protective principle, as will
further extend our commerce.
We favor such legislation as will
restore our merchant marine SO
that our growing foreign trade
may be carried in American-built
vessels, managed by American
sailors, under the American flag.
We urge the speedy construction
of an American ship canal through
the American isthmus.
We recognize the right of both
labor and capital to combine when
such combinations are wisely adj
ministered for the general good,
but combinations which create
monopolies to control prices or
limit production are an evil which
must be met by effective legisla-
ton, vigorously enforced.
