End of CzoIgosz.

TZOLGOSZ suffered the penalty of
| death by electrocurion on Tuesday
morning He showed no emotion
while bidding his relatives farewell,
was deaf to the entreaties of two Po-
lish priests who exhorted him to make
his peace with God and renounce an
archism, and approached the dread
chair as cold and impressive as at any
time during his Imprisonment. An
hour before the time of execution he
told the warden he had something to
say, but it must be said before crowd.
OF course permission was denied him,
and he relapsed into silence That re-
quest from the assassin and the condi-
tons along with it, explains the mo-
tive Czolgosz had in shooting the pres
ident.
Czolgosz was never baptized and
never attended a Catholic parochial
school, although other members of the
family, it is said attend church serv-
tees. Old man Czolgosz is probably
to be pitied, yet he brought his grief
upon himself. Were he a genuine Cath
Ole, his son would never have been
led astray. But he was not. He called
his children after infidels, and one of
them has brought disgrace upon fam
lily whose name will be a byword and
hiss forever

ish vessels at once, and that he made
the loop" because the original plan
had failed. The Spaniards did not take
the direction Sampson had anticipated.
Schley made his own plan, swept
around the circle without in the least
endangering the Texas, plunged into
the battle, firing at everything in sight
and holding his own until the magnif1-
cent Oregon forged in between the Iowa
and Texas and came to the Brooklyn's
help. Then the two splendid vessels
carried everything before them, not
pausing until the last Spanish ship
was surrendered. Thinking there was
glory enough for us ALL" Schley sig
nailed the victory to the New York,
which made its appearance exactly one
hour and eight minutes after the Colon
had surrendered, but it was half an
hour before the signal was acknowl-
edged
In closing his description of the bat
tie Admiral Schley said to the court:
Il want to say that I was much i'm
pressed with the fact that the officers
and men who were engaged in that
battle fulfilled in the highest and
noblest degree the traditions of the
American navy" Equally the Ameri-
can people are impressed with the
fact that the officer who was in COM
mand that day, whose vessel was the
leader in the fight, was always nearest
the enemy, and was in the fight to the
finish, fulfilled in the highest and
noblest degree the traditions of Amer

extent of 20 per cent or more on certain

The bankers who are now about to
educate the people" appear to be ig-
norant of American currency history
prior to the civil war If they were
as well acquainted with it as are the
people whom they propose to educate,
there would be among them fewer ad-
vocates of an asset currency. If the
bankers mingled much with the people
they would know something of their
mature, deep-rooted conclusions on
this currency question and would not
seek to shake them. But it is the mis-
fortune of bankers that they associate
largely with men who go to them as
borrowers. The bankers are autocrats
in their line, and, like other autocrats,
are apt to fancy that they know every
thing and the public knows little or
nothing

Says the Western Waterman: Arch
bishop Ireland has a very able article
in the last North American, on Per
sonal Liberty and Labor Strikes" We
agree with all the great archbishop
says on personal liberty; but labor
must not be auctioned in dull times
as bread must not be auctioned in
times of famine. A man who will use
the life and energy of his fellow man
and not give him what will sustain
him and those dependent upon him, is
d public robber, and the man he en-
ploys is particeps criminis. The inevi-
table deficit of every individual wage
Garner must be made up by society at
large.

BISHOP MFAUL ON THE SCHOOL.
Reports of His Recent Address Were
in Some Respects Misleading.

In Some respects misleading.
Some of the reports of the address of
Bishop McFaul of the Trenton diocese,
made at the laying of the cornerstone
of ST. Patrick's parochiaI school, in
Jersey City, last Sunday, were in some
respects misleading. What the bishop
actually said concerning parochial
schools was:
Here we have a system of schools
wherein all religious teaching is elimi-
mated. Catholics consider the system
our fellow citizens, regardless of re-
suits, must have this system, we can
only appea! to them--for we also are
American citizens-not to tax US for
the support of schools which our con-
scientious convictions will not permit
us to patronize. 1t is no answer to say
to us: There are the schools ready
for you and anyone else; if you do not
desire to send your children to them, it
is no fault of ours. Nom Catholic citi
zens select system of schools which is
obnoxious to their Catholic fellow citi-
zens, and then they have the hardihOod
to say to them: You shall be taxed for
lliClT OuPPOIl NIlClIICI IIiCy dI oulI-
able to you or not does not concern us
Must not the freedom of conscience to
which an American citizen is entitled
be held inviolable, and should not his
fellow citizens, by virtue of the con-
stitution, protect him in the exercise
thereof? Shall not our country supply
our Catholic children with a system of
education acceptable to the Catholic
conscience?
This is an important question. 1t has
been solved in other countries; let it
be solved here. Let some sort of COM
promise be made and the parochial
schools become a part of the public
school system. The state should not
pay for religious education. The pa
rochial school scholars should be ex-
amined at certain times. and the state
pay for the results attained in secular
branches. Such a compromise is neces-
sary, because secular or intellectual
and religious training should go hand
in hand to make loyal citizens and
good Christians"

SchIey's Vindication.

A T THIS WRITING Thursday Ad-
II miral Schley's testimony before
the court of inquiry is not yet
completed. but it has advanced so far
as to cover all the important details
of the campaign which began with the
formation of his plans at Hampton
Roads and ended with the destruction
of the Spanish fleet in Santiago Bay.
1t has gone far enough completely to
vindicate him from the malicious
charges made against him by the
Sampson partisans Gncluding all the
absentee captains") and to establish
beyond all controversy not only that
the credit of the victory belongs to
him but that in directing the opera
tons which led up to it and in the pre-
liminary direction of the blockade he
displayed a personal courage, an ex-
ecutive ability, and a practical sea-
manship which entities him to a posi-
ton in the front rank of the great
American naval commanders.
There have never been but two points
made by the Sampson partisans that
had weight enough to be worthy of
investigation-viZ.: the retrograde
movement and the loop" These have
been explained by the admiral in such
manner as must have convinced the
court that the former was not only ex-
cusable and that Schley's dispatch to
the naval department. was ,5ustffiable.
but that the movement was one of
prudence and strategic Importance be-
cause it was his first duty to keep his
fleet as a unit at its highest steaming
and fighting capacity whether for
fighting or for pursuit. And this he did
as after events demonstrated. AS to
the loop" the court must also be
convinced that when he made the turn
he made the Brooklyn the leader of the
fleet and forced the lighting, though
exposed to the fire of three of the Span

EckeIs and His Mission.

A EVERY public meeting of bank
n ers which has been held recently
at least one of them has told his
leiloWs that 1t is their duty to "edu-
cate the people" and all the bankers
within sound of his voice have respond
ed solemnly that they intended to nm
oertake the high and lofty mission of
educating the 10000 900 and odd Ameri-
cans who are not bankers I'D to the
oellef that the republic cannot get
along without an asset currency. This
KIND OF currency is one issued by bank
ers for the benefit of bankers.
When Mr.. Eckels and his associate
missionaries go forth to educate the
American public to believe in cur-
rency tested and discarded years ago
they undertake no light task. Before
embarking in it they ought to ask
themselves prayerfully and humbly
whether they have as a class, the nee
essary qualifications of educators. OBJ
serving, as they must, that their asset
currency opinions are not held by the
public at large-which, indeed. is omen
ly hostile to them-they should ask
themselves whether it is not possible
that they are mistaken and that they
ought to seek instruction from the peo-
pie instead of offering to give it.
To be a successful banker, says the
chicago Tribune, man must first and
foremost be able to decide with rea-
sonable accuracy whether one who
wishes to borrow money from him is
likely to pay it back when due A
banker should be good credit man.
The majority of American bankers are
good credit men. and hence are sue

Roosevelt on Trusts.
IN HIS SPEECH at Minneapolis on
Labor day. President Roosevelt


Labor day. President Roosevelt
said:
More and more is it evident that
the state, and if necessary the nation,
has got to possess the right of super
vision and control as regards the great
corporations which are its creatures,
particularly as regards the great bust
ness combinations which derive a por-
ton of their Importance from the ex-
istence of some monopolistic tenden-
cy."
Mr.. Roosevelt was then vice presi-'
dent and as such had little influence in
shaping the policy of his party. He is
now president and in position to give
force and effect to his views on the
trust question. AS the chief executive
1t is his duty to enforce the law as he
finds it, says w. J. Bryan in his Com
<loner." If the present attorney gen.
eral is not willing to carry out his in
structions he can demand his resigna-
ton and appoint a new attorney gen.
eral He can give no excuse for a
failure 20 enforce the law. When he
was exercising authority in New York
City he took the position that law
ought either to be enforced or repealed.
1t is to be hoped that he will take the
same position now.
Not only is he in control of the ex-
ecutive branch of the government, but
he has a senate, house and supreme
court in political harmony with him.
If existing laws are not sufficient, he
has the power of recommendation and
can propose measures sufficiently Sc
we're to give to the people the protec-
ton which he admits to be needed. 1t
will be interesting to watch the new
president and see whether the hostility
to trusts manifested by him when he
was laying his plans to capture the
next Republican convention is IN
creased or lessened by the responsible
tiles of the office to which he asplred.
