An lD-Natured Comparison.

- in France recently and wrote an
interesting letter from Paris 70
the Freeman's Journal. One nara
graph, however, is not without b,em-
ish, because it goes to extremes of
lh-natured description. Writing of the
dissimilarity of the two republics he
says:
is is, however, absolutely certain
that If this French affair be a renuh-
nc' ours certainly is not. There is as
much difference between the French
cabinet and our cabinet, and the
French president and Mr.. Roosevelt
between the French assembly and
our congress, as one could we'll i'm

comparing the French assembly to a
dog show at feeding time is an unpar
donable error for any reputable Amer
lean writer to make, not to mention a
bishop. 1t was not so long ago that a
scene was enacted in our own national
assembly which would more aptly fit
Bishop Kieley's comparison of the dog
show, and the participants were SEN
ators from his neighboring state.
Bishop Kelley was an eyewitness of
the Combes prosecutions in Paris.
Naturally we should make allowance
for the just Indignation of the Catholic
American. But in doing SO, we cannot

Baptism Reviewed and Analysed,

I'VE ARE told that terror is harm
wv less where truth is free to com
bat it." If error was always meas
ured from the effects produced, this
aphorism is not true. In last weeks
issue the utterances of a Rev. DIR. S.
Macarthur were quoted on baptism,
where he not only openly assailed the
Oldest Christian ordinance, but bias
phemously referred to God, making His
justice synonymous with the worst
tyranny. The preachers utterances, so
repellant to Christian thought and SEN
timent, were applauded by his hearers.
They were spread before the whole
American people on the. following day

help reminding Bishop Kelley that al
though the republic of Loubet is not
the republic of Theirs, or Mac-Mahon,
it is the only government in Europe
giving expression to popular sovereign
ty. Did its priests heed the advice of
the pope some time ago; did its clergy
emerge from their sanctuaries, mingle
among the people and strive for the
betterment of social conditions, France
would today be still the eldest child
of the church" The blame for that
dog show" rests upon the Catholics of
France.

China is on the verge OF another
Boxer uprising, which may equal that
of 1900, according to mail advices re
ceived at the state department from
Minister Conger dated last month. The
troubles appear to arise principally
from eXtortionate taxation combined
with resentment against the presence
of missionaries, thus justifying the
Judgment of the department of state
which pointed out to the powers that
the demand for excessive indemnities
would result in serious internal trou-
bles in China.

mind. To insert a canine tooth into his
leg on mere suspicion would be an
abuse of privilege; in which case the
dog could not be said to be acting as
the judge requires: purely and hon
estly in self-defense.'
Considering the judicial decision in
its tout ensemble and in all parts, it
seems to place the dog in a condition
of chronic doubt. and puts him under
the necessity of having to stand still
and retrospect to see what the poor
boy is going to do before he tastes
him; necessity that seems to curtail
rather than increase his canine rights.
Some one said the sagacity of the
canine quadruped surpases the COM
prehensibility of mans capability,' and
so does the decision of the st. Louis
Judge"
