There is a queer absence of serious
comment in any of the newspapers of
the country, without regard to party
Affections, on the incident of the as
sault of Senator Bailey, of Texas, upon
Senator Beverage, of Indiana, in the
senate chamber last week. In the
South, this position might be under
stood under the rule that the South is
not the least in accord with the politi-
cal ideas and u~tterances of Senator
Beverage ; but why the papers re :
presenting the Republican party
should hold in a sort of ~fraternal rev.
erance Senator Bailey and screen him,
is hard to understand. No n except
Mr.. Bailey seems to feel that the lang
uage which he resented was out of
place or requiring In apology, and yet
his hot headed act goes practically I'M
questioned by the press of the country
One of the most unfortunate features
in the matter is the fact that the South
is already often criticised because of
the hot medicines of its men, when in
reality they are no more indiscrete or
dignifed than are the men of any
other section of the country, but such
overt acts as that of Tillman a few
months ago and the recent breech of
Senator Bailey gives opportunity to
revive such accusations. Bailey was
never even arraigned by the senate
for his undignifed act, while all the
indignity possible was heaved upon
Mr.. Tillman. Why this discrimination?
II anything the Texas senator showed
less reason for his attack than did the
South Carolinian.

The probable issue in the next state

a dying statement touching his recent
change from the Nicarauga to the

The trial of Rush, n of the accom-
plices of the treasury scandal of last
winter, at Jackson, has been attract
ing the attention of reading people
all over the state during the PROCESS
of the trial the past week. The state
has been making strenuous efforts to
convict Rush, while his defence is
practically as determined. While the
surface indications of the testimony is
made to read plausible, and there is
perhaps no question that a technical
violation of the law exists, yet the
careful student can see through the
gauze and discern politics galore. The
strongest evidence of this is found in
the frequency with which the COVER
nor finds his way to the witness box.
While the people are always glad to
know that their public off cials are
Jealous in looking after the charges
given into their keeping, they are just
as resentful when an abuse is made
of the trust as they r when they are
robbed. In other words they cannot
stand silently by and tolerate the idea
of one official using his place and power
to punish another officer against whom
he may have apolitical grudge, or over
whom he may have fears of pushing
his own little political cart. In the
present case, as iDtimated by this
paper when the treasury sensation
was first sprung by the governor, the
reading between the lines indicate
very plainly that some of the men
who fell under the sensation were OF
a class the present governor did not
count on using for his own further adj
vancement.

A. few papers in the state r still
demanding the repeal of the present
insurance law because the insurance
companies want it repealed and pro-
pose to vent their vengence on the
public if the law is left stand. A
Vicksburg paper says the crisis is on,
and it is up to the public to do some
thing. AS repeatedly suggested in
this paper, this is doubtless a fact.
Because the state has see proper to
place a law upon the statute books
which requires the companies collect
ing premiums on insurance, to pay a
loss when it occurs, the companies
seem determined to boycott the state,
or to bulldoze it into doing as they
wish it should and repeal the law.
Instead of following the suggestions
of some of these earnest advocates of
legislation in favor of the insurance
companies, the state legislature should
come together and pass q law provid-
ing for municipal insurance and abso-
lutely barring these foreign trusts
who would crush the public from do
ing any business whatever in the
state. The plan is perfectly practi-
cal and should enlist the cordial sup
port of every man in the state today
who is distressed By the stubborn
attitude OF the insurance combine.

1t is now claimed in administration
csrcles that the speech of President
Roosevelt, at Pittsburg, Pa, on the
Fourth of July, was in reality a fore
runner of his itentions on the matters
touching the trust question. That
the President has invited a Mr.. Little
field, % Maine, to draft a bill against
the trusts, under the supervision of
himself and the attorney general,
which bill is to be made an administra-
ton measure in the next session of
congress. The chances r that this
step is taken by the President because
many of his original admirers would
desert him if he did not make some
show of disposition to carry out re-
forms he has all along contended that
he favored, but there will nothing
come of it, it is safe to say. The
President understands that to antag-
onize the trusts would surely elimi-
nate him from even among the posi-
bilities in the next national conven-
tions, and he is not likely to provoke
any such antagonism. The more log
ical view to take of the position an
nouneed, is that the bluff is to be
made by the president and the trusts,
whose money he expects to give him
a nomination for a second term, IN
derstand that it is simply q play, and
will never come to anything.

Must Not Lodge With Nuns.

The French governments crusade
(the word is strangely inappropriate)
against the religious orders is having
one very disastrous effect. In recent
years large numbers of girls have en-
tered the postal service in Paris. To
the clergy it was obvious that some
provision should be made for the re-
spectacle housing and feeding of these
young women, many of them fresh
from the country. The religious orders
took the matter up, or organized
restaurants and maisons de famille I'M
der the charge of nuns in which the
girls could find protection and advice
in time of need. And now the female
clerks under the government are told
that, on pain of instant dismissal, they
are not to live in lodgings which are
under the control of nuns.
Everybody who kows Paris at all
knows that it is extremely difficult for
a young girl to live there ION her
own mainly because no Frenchman
ever suspects her of morality The
turning out of the recalcitrant religious
orders may be a necessary piece of self
defense on the part of the republic,
says Modern Society of London, but
in refusing the nuns protection to the
female clerks of the public offices the
government is throwing hundreds of
girls into peril. There is nothing left
for them but the hotel meuble, which
is by no means a desirab BILE residence
for a young girl.

McNally the Publisher.

Andrew .McNally is the name of a
Chicago Irishman who has acquired a
fortune as a printer and publisher, and
is supposed to be many times a mil
lionaire. He is associated with that
sterling Irish Catholic, William j. Ona-
han, in the banking business. and is
otherwise a man of many enterprises.
He has an extensive estate in the Los
Angeles valley of California; where he
spends about half his time. One of his
employments in the land of sunshine
and citrons is the breeding of singing
birds, and he has gained much renown
and popularity thereby. When his
aviary becomes overcrowded he opens
the wire doors. permits the inmates to
fly away and then proceeds to grow a
new flock. He has been doing this for
years, and the consequence is that CAL
ifornia is a-lilt and a-tremble from one
end to the other with the most eX-
quisite song-bird music. When Mr.
McNally is in California and an in
digent author in Chicago asks for roy
ialties, the kindly gentleman forthwith
forwards to him a bottle of olives and
a yellow canary bird in a cage, which
is supposed to have a multiplying effect.

Russia and the Dardanelles.

rally been that Russia has been COM
PEELED until now to build all the ships
of its large and powerful Black sea
fleet on the shores of the Black sea,
since it has been impossible for the
ear to bring into the Black sea any
of the men of war which have been
built in his Baltic shipyards or in for
eign countries. Thus, for instance, the
magnificent battleship which he had
constructed by the Cramps of Phila-
delphia has by the terms of the treat
of Paris, even as amended by the con-
gress of 1871 in London, been pre-
vented from access to the Black sea
and from visiting any of Russia's ports
bordering thereon.
One of the effects of this CALLING re-
striction placed upon Russia was that
she has been obliged to maintain not
one but two large end entirely distinct
fleets in southern waters For she has
not been able to use the Black sea
squadron for the protection of her in
terests in the Mediterranean. while in
the same way she has been deba FRED
from employing her maritiem forces in
the Mediterranean for duty in the
Black sea. Moreover, the ships of her
Mediterranean squadron have not only
had to be brought from the Baltic, but
nave likewise been shut off from all
of the Muscovite ports, arsenals and
bases of supply in the Black sea. AS
Russia has no port on the Mediter-
ranean, she has been obliged, when any
of the ships of her Mediterranean
squadron have been in need of repair,
dry docking, etc, either to depend upon
the friendly offices of France, of Greco,
of England or some other Mediterra-
mean power, or else send the man of
war in question all the way back
through the straits of Gibraltar, up the
stormy bay of Biscay and the North
sea, to her naval arsenals on the Bal
tic.

DIGNITY OF LABOR.
A Catholic Priest Points Out It's
Rights.

Rev. James H. Cotter, the eloquent
and scholarly rector of st. Lawrence's
church. Ironton, O., recently spoke as
follows on the dignity of labor:
Christ himself was singled out of
the crowd as the son of Joseph, the
carpenter. and st. Paul was by trade
a tent maker. Labor in Christian times
is dignified both in it's origin and its
history. The whole world over has
been beautifully fashioned by the hand
of labor. Gods hand and labor's hand
have done everything estimable on
earth. Labor ever built, while luxury
has ever ruined, and though luxury
is not another name for capital, lux
ury is more kindred to capital than is
the sweat of toll. A mans hands are
not more his own than is the labor of
his hands; it is part of his life that he
bestows for his living. He has, there
FORE the right to protect what is so
near and dear, and to strengthen, if
he so chooses, individual protection by
multiplying it's force in union. True,
indeed, is it that unions, like individ-
ualS, make mistakes, but if mistakes
would argue against rights, then sin
ners would have no rights, and yet we
know that we have many
"Labor's rights are not capitals
wrongs. On the contrary. respect for
labor's rights points the way to re-
spect for capitals rights; for truly, the
best way to have our own rights re-
spected is to respect the rights of 9TH
ers. A child of the church of the poor,

contention. Men are more than money.
Born in a land that has ever suf-
fered from foreign landlordism, mis-
applied capital, as an Irishman, 1 do
not qualify my antagonism to the
wrongs that have more than once bent
the back of labor, 1 hope that labor
will win a true victory by never en-
ploying unlawful tactics, for the end
never did and never will justify the
means-not by interfering with the lib
critics of others, be they employer or
employed, except through appeals to
their conviction. but win, and win

All souls are alone. Who speaks
truthfully. or rather who permits his
soul to speak, will so admit. We may
cling to customs and institutions, we
may busy ourselves with interests and
affairs. we may enfold our lives with
loves and friendships, but the moment
comes in every hour when we are
thrown back upon ourselves. and we
realize. despite all, we are alone. Our
deepest thoughts are unuttered, our
truest words are unsaid, the very cry
of our lonliness is smothered for we
realize the distance that parts soul
from soul, though they may appear
enc, as mountains viewed from afar
seem to lean one against another, but
nearer beheld, are separated by broad,
fathomless chasms. But as friends lost
in the mountains may sometimes catch
a comrades voice across the abyss. so
occasionally and briefly soul may meet
soul.
