THE REPUBLICAN RIDDLE.

While the republicans in America are in power and
the liberals in Great Britain IN opposition there Is
a strong resemblance between the two parties at the
present time IN their lack OF definite policy The
servatives in Great Britain likely to remain in
power and the democrats in America are likely to
into power, because these two parties in contrast
to their opponents, each have definite policy
The liberals in England have no definite financial
policy, definite educational policy, definite for
egn policy. no definite Irish policy. Lord Rosebery
breaches vague gospel of efficiency without going
into details. Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman has no
program different from Lord salisbury's Mr.. Bal
four's And just there is uncertainty as to what
is the liberal policy there is uncertainty as to
WHO is the leader of the liberal party Whether it be
Lord Rosebery Sir Henry Campbell Bannermap, the
wisest can not tell.
So in America, whether the leader OF the republic
ans be Theodore Roosevelt Marcus Alonzo Hanna,
the wsest not tell. Roosevelt breaches "strenl.
ousness, which bears remarkable resemblance as TO
pretense and uncertainty Lord Roseberys "efhcen-
cy, and the aisseZfare attitude OF Sir Henry Camp,
be-Bannerman is exactly parallcled by the keep on
letting well enough along maxim of Hanna.
The republicans in America. just the liberals IN
Great Britain can make categorical to pub
lie questions. What the republicans going to do
about the trusts? Are the Philippines be ultimately
bond or free? Are tho republicans In earnest about
tariff reform, and how much of it will they accomplish
The the republicans themselves give to these
questions are like the response the gave 60 Pa
nurge being Yes aud no." Something and nothing A"
which you can take whichever way you please Dem
onBtrably tho republicans not wrong on any of the
great public questions for they answer them all both

their promises, is riddle like the Sphinxs From the

iNToLERANT CATHOLICS.

Archbishop lreland's sermon protesting against the
criticism of intolerant Catholics in regard to the re-
moval of the frars in the Philippines was delivered
none too soon The American Federation Of Catholic
societies in Chicago Tuesday evening INDUCED quite
freely in expressions of condemnation OF the admins
tration's methods in the Philippines, and Bishop Nc.
Faul went so far to vigorously assa the whole pro
gram OF exodus: The sermon did not prevent the in
tolerant protests but II had the effect OF dlscountinE
the Chicago utterances. Bishop McFau did not con.
tent himself with discussion of the friar question
but proceeded 10 denounce the American army for ia
impoyates
This would not be Objectionable II the criticism
were not coupled with the question of the removal
of the riars The cruelties and mmoralities OF the
army In the Philippines are notorious and all GOOD
Americans regardless of party lament the facts which
have been revealed. AS American citizen and as a
minister OF the gospel. Bishop McFau has a perfect
right to condemn these practices but when he coupes
his condemnation with protest against the policy of
the government In excluding the riars he discounts
his criticism and he arouses the animosty of all non
Catholic American citizens Indeed II the advocates
have chosen telling arthce for arousng public
prejudice In their behalf than this Intolernnt ax
preston from Bishop McFaul.
The American people Jealous OF their system of
government and certain unthinking ones among than
during the last few have needlessly alarmed
what they regard encroachments of the Catbo
lie church upon American politics and especially upon
tho American free school system. This fear oulni

While a number OF passengers were
waiting for the morning train at Pablo

and a former Cincinnati policeman,
headed a number who FASTENED TO
search for the cause Of the cry. A
short distance away they saw big al

secured a hold of its dress in its mouth.

a Jacksonville correspondent Of the In

CONGREss - sEssION.

Congress convened Monday and soon
the Newspapers viii be full Of the do
ings Of congress.
The national legislature is a very de-
Iiberate body and it will be a week or
ten days before it gets down to bust
ness.
The first matter of interest in the
house is the election of speaker to
succeed Henderson of Iowa Congress
man Cannon Of Illinois seems to have
the most frequent aud favorable men
ton. He is one Of the oldest members
in the house.
Among the first measures to receive
attention will be antitrust legislation,
aud it is quite probable that the Sher-
man antitrust law will be amended
giving the president aud attorney gen
eral adequate power to deal with the
trust situation. Nothing Of a very
radical nature will be done. The re-
publican congress will deal gently with
the erring trusts.
1t is presumed that President ROose-
welt will urge a new reciprocity with
Cuba" and that there will be a hot
fight between the ultra protectionists
aud the tariff reform republicans.
Democrats viii be to much in the mir
ority to cGt much scaIlup in legisla-
ton unless the vote is close and they
viii probably watch their opportuni ty.
The inter-o2eanic canal question will
be up again and the public will hear a
great deal about the Nicaragua and.
Panama routes. It Is a big proposition
aud the whole field should be carefully
examined. Congress will probably
pass a canal Gill and it ought to.
There will be an attempt to resur
rect the infamous ship subsidy bill
but the people are too well posted to
approve of the measure and the nation
al legislature will have to look out for
\ political pit falls.
