Cardinal Ledochowski. born at Gorki
Poland, Oct. 20, 1922 He had an event
full and exciting career, as he was the
first and foremost champion of the vat
lean in its contest with the govern
ment of Prussia.
Sacrificing to the call of God his bril-
liant future as the head of an illus
trious Vienna family, he began his
theological studies in the Lazarist coll
lege of st. John at Warsaw, and at the
early age of is received the ecclesiasti-
cal tonsure and habit from the bishop
of Sandomir. He studied subsequently
at Vienna and at Rome, and was fin
ally made domestic prelate and pro-
thonotary apostolic by Pope Plus TX.
He subsequently served in a subordi-
nate capacity under the Nuncios at
Lisbon, Rio de Janeiro and Santiago de
Chile. His display of diplomatic abil-
ity brought him the appointment as
nuncio to Brussels in 1861, when he was
also made archbishop of Thebes, in
partibus. He retained the Brussels
nunciature for four years. when he was
made archbishop of Gnesen and Posen,
which appointment constituted him the
Catholic primate of Poland.
He devoted himself to the affairs of
his diocese and avoided all mingling in
external affairs. His visit to the EN-
peror William at Versailles in 1870,
however, led him to see that struggle
was imminent.

Compulsory Arbitration.

TIME system of compulsory arbitra-
tion of labor troubles in New
Zealand continues to the satisfac-
ton of all concerned. For a num-
Der of years that commonwealth has
mad on it's statute books an act en-
titled 1.-The Industrial Cancellation and
Arbitration Law" Under this law,
says the Rocky Mountain News, when
a compromise was found to be i'm
possible, compulsory arbitration was
authorized. The New Zealand parlia-
ment recently strengthened the law by
curtailing the power of the concilia-
ton court, and making the direct ap-
peal to compulsory arbitration easier
to obtain. This would seem to indi-
cate that the New Zealand people are
well satisfied with the general work
ings of the compulsory principle. Re-
Gently New South Wales sent a COM
mission to study the practical effects
of this law. The report stated that
while the act had some serious de-
fects, which were set forth at length,

the commissioner, "that the act has

Praises the Chinese.

THOROUGHGOING eulogist OF
"A China is Prince Ukhtomsky. He
contributes to the Contemporary
Review an article on 1.-THE Genius of
China which is enough to make us
all weep that we were not born Chi
nese. Prince Ukhtomsky has been in
China many times, and has fallen in
love with the yellow man. He be-
lieves in him down to the ground, and
in this article he ventures to prophesy
various things which, when thep hap
pen. will occasion disturbances in the
world at large.
China is something so immense and
potent that it is impossible to fore
see to what it may grow within a few
decades It is certain that the current
of modern life will drag China into
it's strenuous whirlpool, will stir up
and stimulate the naturally good-na-
tured giant to demand proportionate
share of power, glory, and wealth, of
nations Already the yellow race be-
gins to struggle with difficult prob
lens: and in the twentieth century,
whatever it may cost, China, according
to this Russian magazine writer. will
acquire as natural colonies Ahham, Co
chin China, with Cambodia, Siam and
Burmah, the great Malay regions For
mosa, the Philippines, Borneo, Suma-
ira and Java. Whoever rules China, it
will certainly in time acquire a for
midable fleet, and then the struggle
for existence will follow it's course with
pitiless logic. The Chinese have en-
ergy, sagacity and capital. Until the
year 1400 China kept a whole genera
ton ahead of Europe. Since then she
has fallen behind, perhaps some thir-
ty years. But she is waking up. There
are no signs whatever of decline or
decrepitude. Unable to repel the in
vading foreign devils, they have made
themselves indispensable to the new
corners, and managed in a certain
sense to bind them hand and foot. AL
ready being unrivaled in the field of
commercial resourcefulness, the Chi
nese little by little crowd out the for
eigners from their territory, and the
time can hardly be far distant when
all the import and even the export
trade will be in the hands of China
men, whose diligence is exemplary,
and who rapidly learn and master ev
cry industry. The day must surely
come when America, England, Sweden,
and Germany will cease to be neces-
sary to China, grown aware of her
own boundless resources.

No Danger to A. 0. H.

7 is really too bad that any attempt
| was made by the. active promoters
of the United Irish Land League
to have their organization endorsed by
| the A. o. H. at the Denver convention
| 1t was certainly not good politics, in
| view of the fact that Irishmen are di-
| vided upon the plan of physical force
and the plan of parliamentary cam
| paign. So long as they are divided
what real good is accomplished in
| making an organization like the A. O.
III. go on record in favor of the Land
League by bare majority, all the
time the great minority feeling that
their convictions have been stultified
A vote of endorsement, unless it is
unanimous or nearly so, is not a vote
of endorsement. 1t cannot change
the convictions of single member who
voted in the negative.
Where was the sense in the hot de-
bate over that resolution? 1t lost,
and the physical force men carried
the day. What satisfaction do they
derive from the victory? Their vote
will not injure or help the cause of
Ireland one iota.
But the mischief lies in the spectacle
of disunited lot of Irishmen, and
this spectacle goes to England's salts
faction. The Irish are a great people.
They are reckoned good politicians, es-
pecially when they mix up in Ameri-
can affairs. But when it comes to
Irish politics, they don't know when
to hold their tongue. Always some
body turns up with a proposition
which he thinks is patriotic and springs
it upon body of men whom he knows
beforehand will fight it. Materially
the proposition has not the value of
a pinch of snuff, but when it gets men
to wrangling and those same men
threaten the destruction of the order
which rebukes the proposition. then
a mole hill assumes the proportions of
a mountain.
We are panied to observe in some
of our exchanges some bitter refiec-
tons on the A. o. H. for turning down
the Land League. These newspapers
forecast the destruction of the grand
order by reason of that vote Such
prophesies are silly. The A. o. H.
will continue its mission of friend
ship, unity and charity" and remain
as before divided upon the questions
of physical force and moral suasion.
One member may go to his Robert
Emmett assembly and another go to his
league meeting and the two meet to-
gether as brothers in the grandest So
ciety of Catholic Irishmen in the
world.
Out upon your evil prophesies! Long
live the A. o. H..

to man his natural rights, the vatican
may be always counted. If, instead of
to Rome, this Spanish friar question,
| along with their guaranteed rights, had
been submitted to the supreme court
at Washington, dare anyone say that
the conclusions of Rome and the con-
clusions of Washington would differ on
a plain principle of law?
Once upon time there reigned in
France an emperor who was a terror
to the civilized world and whose ar
mics were invincible. At the same time
there resided in Rome, as head of the
Catholic church on earth, pontiff who
stood ready to offer up his life in God S
cause. This was Plus VII; the other
person was Napoleon Bonaparte.
For political and sensual reasons the
emperor of the French desired to wed
an Austrian princess. In order to do
so he must first put away Josephine
his lawful wife and empress. "An easy
thing to do said Napoleon to himself
Il will secure a dispensation from the
old fellow in the vatican"
Instead of a diSpenSation allowing
him to divorce Josephine and marry
another, the master of Europe received
a stern rebuke and refusal from the
old man in the vatican. What fol-
lowed? Pope Plus VII was driven into
exile. Napoleon was communicated.
But the infallible teachings of the
Church remained unsullied, and He
who watches the sparrow's fall had
care for the exiled pontiff.
BAH" muttered the Little Corporal.
'All the old pope may say and do will
not cause a single gun to fall from
the hands of one of my soldiers!" Then
came Waterloo, and afterwards st.
Helena.

tended for such as pirate that Yankee
craft triumphed over Italian cunning"

question where the pontiff knows he
is right. Leo XIII would yield to Pres
ident Roosevelt what Plus VII denied

they would be able to fulfill them; and,
indirectly, it has tended to a more

large majority of the employers of Ia
Dor whom I interviewed are in favor
of the principle of the act.
As a result of the report by it's COM
missioner, New South Wales has enact
ed a law from which the Cancellation
court feature was omitted, the sole
power of settling labor disputes was
placed in court of arbitration, and
strikes and lockouts were made penal
offenses.

how it sounded, coming from those
oratorical lips, and just what points

tail of the British lion a little bit by

Another example of the downfall of
those who live on the fever of spec
ulation is given in a little telegraphic
paragraph about former Salt Laker
named Wayne Bevin, lineal descend
ant of Mad Anthony Wayne of rev.
dictionary fame, and at one time a
multi-millionaire. Money came too
easy in the beginning, but slipped
away more easily in the end. Now
Belvin languishes in prison at New
York on account of crooked transac-
tion of only $3.50. There was a time
when Wayne Bevin would spend that
paltry amount here over the Walker
House bar. and go home sober.

its sympathy to the stricken family
of Alderman Kelly of Denver, who was
accidentally killed while in the per-
Torrance of duty. An account of the
affair is given elsewhere. Alderman
Kellys reputation was in the keep

again was he .honored with political
preferment. The funeral was the larg-
est ever held in the city, all public
buildings being closed and grief visi-

of the Protestant Episcopal diocese Of
New York should certainly prove a
good catch for a widow. On the other
hand, widow reputed to be worth
about $9e,OO0,0O0 should be good catch
