Portueaps Independence Day.

He cut it in Alexandrian fashion, refused
to entertain appeals from his decisions as
presiding officer and finally declared the
sitting adjourned. A deadlock has resulted
and now Mulvihill Is being assured that his
political days are numbered. His self-as-
surance is not so great. however, that he is
wholly sufficient for his own peace of mind
So in his emergencies he has taken counsel
with one Hans, driver OF truck for the
mandatory which formerly employed
Mulvihill, and thus Hans has come to be
known as Bridgeport's power behind the
throne. The combination of stoke-mayor
and truck driver counselor has proved TOO
much for the community. and 1t Is prob
able that at the next election the city Will
eschew freak candidates. Reform Is
blessing when wisely administered, but
even partisan government is often prefer
able to reform in the hands of the merely
hard headed, with a narrow outlook upon
municipal life. Reports from San Fran

there is having better luck. Is this due to

hard-headedness began to grow irksoms
even to the majority in the aldermanic
board which the city had elected with him

proving himself rather too freely endowed

The President Endorsed.

The resolutions adopted by the Federated
Catholic Societies at Chicago yesterday re-
specting the Philippine problem and the
Spanish friars are distinctly in line with
Archbishop Irtland's position and tri-
umph for him His contention from the
outset has been that the United States gov
errment could be trusted TO settle all points
In dispute as 10 the friars and their hold
ings with justice to all the parties in in
terest. These resolutions subscribe to that
confidence. They testify to the wisdom of
Archbishop IreIand's leadership. They are,
to repeat. a triumph for him.
The expression of faith in the friars and
admiration for the work they have per-
formed in the Philippines is something with
which this government is not concerned
We are dealing with facts that are not in,
and cannot be brought into. dispute. We are
Eot the accusers OF the friars We took the
problem as it was presented to us. We
found the friars outlawed by their former
parishioners-the people they had trained
They were sheltered under Spanish protec-
tion In Manila, and we offered them our
protection. They have been enjoying that
since the American flag was raised in the
archipelago. They owe their lives as well
as their property to the United States gov
ernment.
An inquiry instituted by the Taft
commission as to the extent and cause of
the feeling against the friars. There were
many witnesses, and the accusers. all Fill
pinos, We're substantially of one mind. They
protested earnestly against the return of
the friars to their former charges and
expressed the opinion that the people would
not receive them. This of course brought
matters to a head. 1t was for the govern
ment as well as for the Roman Catholic
Church to consider what should be done.
The government, while protecting the friars
from injury at the hands of the Filipinos.
would not undertake to force them upon
unwilling congregations. and the Roman
Catholic Church felt the necessity of filling
the vacancies created by the departure of
the friars. The recent negotiations at
Rome were based upon these conditions,
and the coming negotiations at Manila will
proceed along the same lines.
A settlement will be reached because the
interests of both church and state in the
Philippines demand 1t. This government is
prosecuting nobody. Its reputation for deal
ing fairly with all creeds is established and
cannot be injured either by the over-zealous
or by blind partisans.

Mr.. Bryan's Receptiyitv.

Mr.. Bryan's announcement that If nomi-
mated for President In 1904 he will accent
seems to have taken some people by sur
prise. Why so? His attitude toward that
nomination has never been in doubt when
his words were properly weighed He has
coveted the honor since the morning after
the November election in 1900. He cannot
afford to make open play for 1t. But he Is
pursuing the course best calculated to keep
his name before the country and his ad-
mirers and supporters in pleasant mind of
him. His journeyings about the country
bring him into touch with people of all
parties and conditions, and particularly with
political managers. There is probably not
IN the United States a man In either of the
two great parties better informed about
political conditions than this tireless worker
in the political field. He makes it his busi-
ness, the principal object OF his life, to note
and appraise all changes in that field The
outlook seems to be this: If Organism Is
defeated before the next democratic ma
tional convention Mr.. Bryan will be defeat
ed If Bryanism wins, who so worthy to
carry the banner again before the people as
Mr.. Bryan himself?

Ready for the Coronation.

The recovery of King Edward has been
apparently so complete and rapid that
there appears to be practically no doubt
whatever row that tomorrow he will go
successfully through the ceremony of the
corona ton. He has rallied from the oper-
alton with remarkable speed and regular
ity. The gloomy forecasts of relapses, the
development of malignant conditions and
the necessity of a second operation have
all been disproved by the facts. The king
Is seemingly in good general health. a lit
tie weak from his confinement and the
shock of the operation, but able neverthe-
less. to go through the somewhat curtailed
ceremonial of the coronation. That his

foolish superstition, to be deprived sud-

however meaningless that process might
be In the eyes of the multitude outside Of
England and perhaps some other mon
archical countries. The fact that Edward
had reigned for nearly a year and a half
as actual king despite the lack of the cere-
monial did not lessen the sentiment Of re-
gret for his deep disappointment His
proclamation expressive of his appreciation
OF the sympathy of his subjects during his
illness and acknowledging the efficacy of
their prayers for his recovery bespeaks the
warm nature OF the man. who Is personally
very popular in England. Notwithstanding
the favoring circumstances. which promise
a smooth ceremony tomorrow, there will
doubtless be fervent sigh of relief in
England as soon as It is safely passed and

often very intelligent people viii insist
upon Withdrawing from table upon dis
covering the numerical combination. Just
as the evil reputation of thirteen arose
from the Lords Supper so Friday acquired
it's bad name from being the day on
which Christ was crucified. 1t became
later established as hangmans day, and
the superstition spread far and wide that
it was positively a token Of bad luck"
to start any enterprise on that day. So
strongly is the belief grounded in nautical
minds that until modern commerce by it's
urgent demands for time required change,
ships were never permitted to set sail on
their voyages on Friday. Even today it
is seldom that a vessel is launched on
Friday. Yet as in the case Of thirteen at
table" there are constant refutations in fact
Of the validity of the superstition. Some per-
sons pride themselves on finding Friday a
lucky day" Some are apparently pur-
sued by a nemesis which dictates the In
auguration of every personal venture or
journey on that day. Thirteen clubs are
numerous, established in defiance of the
tradition. And so the world wags, divided
somewhat sharply between those who do
and those who do not regard the number
and the day as evil.

Superstition.

The thirteen hoodoo was working over
time yesterday. In Philadelphia a railroad
crash occurred on track number b. AL
though without fatal results. Out In Iowa
collision on the c. 81. and ST. p. road
caused the death Of thirteen persons. and in
Colorado cloudburst destroyed the same
number of lives. Such condolences as
these strengthens the superstition that
thirteen Is an unlucky numeral. 1t has its
origin. as far as present folk lore now
teaches. in the fact that there were thirteen
at table at the Last Supper, and this asso-
ciation of the number and one of the most
notable tragedies Of history has given rise
as well to the superstition that II thirteen
sit at table together one Of the number will
surely die within the year. That the con-
trary Is frequently proved does not prevent
most people from feeling uncomfortable
when they notice twelve others sitting at
table Indeed, 20 strong Is this myth that

The Magic Note,

Unto the opera he went.
Mid the orchestral roar
He sighed in dreary discomfort,
I've heard all that before"
He hastened where the sylvan bird
It's carols would outpour,
He said, 1T is no use; I've heard
That self-same song before"
He read the poets lay sublime,
Full of eternal lore,
And sighed, How futile is this rhyme
I've heard it all before"
And then tiny infant came,
And, smiling, said "Ah goo!
He laughed with it in glad acclaim.
And cried Here's something newr'
And if the baby laughed or cried,
And woke up all the street,
He hailed the noise with parent pride
As music strange and sweet.
And when grave neighbors came one day
And criticised the roar,
1t angered him to hear them say
We've heard such things beforer'

Bishop McFaul's Charges.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.


The statement that the Catholics in Amer
lea have not been asked to send teachers
or priests to the Philippines Is authorita-
lively denied by the American prelates
whose advice was asked by the Vatican
Cardinal Rampolla said to Judge Taft
that If thousand American priests should
offer their services for the Philippines the
Catholic authorities would hesitate to ac-
cept them, for the priests were needed In
the United States much as in the Phil
ippines. The truth is that American
methods have been introduced in the Phil.
ippines with the hearty approval of Catho-
lies as we'll as PrOtestants who are on the

Faul, will not change the policy, nor will
