CATHOLICS DESERVE PRAISE.
Have Paid s25,ooo,ooo Into Treasury
Beyond Riahtful Taxes.

Chicago, December 2.-"The Roman
Catholics in the United States are an
nually paying into the national treasury
SIS, 900, 900 beyond their rightful taxes and
are educating 100000 children without
charging the country one cent for it.
Yet we have never been given word of
praise for this tremendous work. The
country is not to blame for this, we our
selves are at fault, because we have
never told the United States what we
have been doing"
These words formed part of an earnest
plea for national aid to the Catholic
schools, that the very Rev. OBrien Par
dow, S. j., of New York city, made to an
audience of Catholics that filled the audi
torium Sunday night. Subject of the lect-
ure was "St. De la Sale and modern ed
ucation," and its object the raising OF
funds for the use of the teaching orders
of the Catholic church. The management
of the affair reported after the meeting
that $4,000 had been the net amount
realized This sum included the $4,000
offered by w. Bourke Cochrane OF New
York. condiionally upon a like amount
being raised by the sale of seats.

It has resulted in averting thousands Of
casualties. Experience shows, however,
the necessity OF additional legislation to
perfect this law A bill to provide for
this passed the senate at the last session.
It is to be hoped that some such measure
may now be enacted into law.
There is a growing tendency to provide
for publication of masses OF documents
for which there is no public demand and
for the printing Of which there is no real
necessity Large numbers of volumes are
turned out by the government printing
presses for which there is no Justification.
Nothing should be printed by any of the
departments unless 1t contains something
of permanent value, and the congress
could with, advantage cut down very ma
terially on all the printing which 1t has
now become customary to provide. The
excessive cost of government printing is
a strong argument against the position
of those who are inclined on abstract
grounds to advocate the governments do
ing any work which can with propriety
be left in private hands.
Gratifying progress has been made dur
ing the year in the extension of the merit
system of making appointments In the
government service. 1t should be ex-
tended by law to the District of Columbia.
It Is much to be desired that our con-
sular system be established by law on a
OASIS pTOV1ulDB LOT prO-
motion only in consequence of proved
fitness. s
Through a wise provision of the con-
gress at it's last session the White House,
which had become disfigured by incon-
gruous additions and changes. has now
been restored to what 1t was planned to
be by Washington. In making the restor-
atoms the utmost care has been exercised
to come as near as possible to the early
plans and to supplement these plans
by careful study of such buildings as
that of the University of Virginia, which
was built by Jefferson. The White House
is the property of the nation, and so far
as is compatible with living therein it
should be kept as 1t originally was. for
the same reasons that we keep Mount
Vernon as IT originally was. The stately
simplicity of It's architecture is an ex-
preston of the character of the period In
which 1t was built, and is in accord with
the purposes 1t was designed to serve.
1t is good thing to preserve such build
ings as historic monuments which keep
alive our sense Of continuity with the
nations past.
The reports of the several executive
departments are submitted to the con-
gress with this communication.

Ten Months Of Peace After Dreadful
SUFFERING.

Operations are becoming a fad; every
young man. as soon as he is graduated
from a medical college, considers himself
capable of undertaking the most serious

dreds of lives are sacrificed annually

undertaken as a last resort, and then
only by the most experienced and care

these dangerous operations: Il know 1

the intention with which they were en-

large areas of the public domain for
