her.
When from 1000 to 300 yards from the
battle ship, the latter's searchlights found
the Farragut, and a rocket proclaimed the
fact. Those on the ,Farragut claim tnat

was contended that a rocket which the

CUBAN RECIPROCITY
MEETING OF WAYS AND MEANS
COMMITTEE CALLED MONDAY.
Mr.. Babcock Will Vote for the Admin
istration Measure-His Rea-
sons Stated

I Chairman Payne this afternoon called
meeting OF the ways and means committee
Tor 1880 Monday merning to take up the.
Cuban reciprocity bill and report it to the
House.
Representative Babcock will vote for the
Dill. In conversation with Star reporter
this afternoon Mr.. Babcock announced his
position as follows:
Il snail vote in committee in accordance
with the instructions given to the commit
tee at the last conference of republicans of
the House by large majority of my party
colleagues 1t is well known that was
opposed to the measure which was finally
adopted IN the conference.
But / return to the House after an ILL
ness Of six weeks duration and find that as
a result of five conferences of my republi-
can colleagues the administrations bill has
been Endorsed.
Regardless of my own views. / am too
good a republican to revolutionarily oppose
a measure promulgated by the administra-
ton and indorsed by more than a ajority
Of the republicans of the House. Such a
a bill becomes party bill, and ! would vote
for 1t even If l were more opposed to its
provisions than 1 am to the bill in ques-
tion.''
1t is the purpose of the ways and means
leaders, after the bill is reported, to call
it up for consideration in the House next
Tuesday.
Mr.. Payne's Announcement.
The announcement was made after the
situation had been thoroughly canvassed by
Mr.. Payne and his lieutenants and they had
satisfied themselves that the Payne bill
granting 20 per cent tariff concessions to
Cuba commanded sufficient strength to be
reported from the committee by republican
votes. Mr.. Payne's announcement brought
assurance that the long and bitterly fought
contest was nearing its close in a way sat
isfactory to the reciprocity advocates.
While no specific claims were made it was
we'll understood among the ways and
means leaders that reliance could be placed
on nine republican members of the COM
mittee, or just one more than majority.
Aside from this the inquiries of the ways
and means leaders led them to believe that
four and possibly five democratic votes
would be given to the bill Their desire,
however, had. been to report the measure
without any reliance on the minority, and
this they are now confident of being able
to do. There was some prospect, however,
of the pairing Of members which might re-
duce the total strength on each side, but in
such equal ratio that the reciprocity meas
ure would continue to have sufficient repub-
lican votes to report it without amendment

New Years Resolutions.

Just now is the time for good reso-
buttons. What shall be ours? We
all know. of course, the weakest parts
in our makeup, and we should ell
deavor during the coming year to
strengthen them, says the Canadian
Catholic Record.
But everyone can resolve to be gen.
tie and charitable. 1t is an eminently
practical resolution, and burdened
withal of more good than we know.
Hearts ache and life is betimes as
desolate rs a windswept moor because
there is no sympathy or love. Day
after day we meet our brethren stag
gering under the burdens and we let
them pass with never a word that may
be for them a wellspring of Joy and
strength. And when we look around
and see the strong trampling down the
weak-the craft and the shame; and
when we hear words trimming DER
with bitterness. in word all that
blights human life, it is good to know
that near each one of us is the God
who trod life's Observation-Disclosures and
hunted, with soul sorrowful unto
death, but with heart far gentler than
the gentlest child that was ever
crooned to sleep in mothers lap.
He was the Model Man. He came
to uplift the world in a manner I'M
dreamt of before His time, and to
give us the new commandment of love
and charity.
When we think of it all-the cave
on the hillside, the home of Nazareth,
the wondrous story of the thirty-three
years, we wiring our hearts of all that
is mean and ignoble; and when we
hear the words that have left trail
Of light across the centuries and be-
hold Him so gentle to children, to
sinners, illumining hearts darkened
with care and sorrow, with the sun
light of hope and joy, we cannot but
make resolution to initiate Him. Mark
it down, dear readers, as your resolu-
ton for the coming year. 1t will be
for you a source of the purest happi-
ness that can be had this side Of the
grave: and what it does for those
around you will be known only when
you read with wondering and glad
some eyes the records of eternity.

now and again let it have an absolute
rest and the system will be all the bet
ter for it and the likelihood of long
life much increased. Don't trouble

out your life on the same system. Let

then adhere to it unaltcred. A great
mistake is made in supposing that q
man at forty requires this, and at fifty

larity from year to year and not mere

Deficient In History.

Courage is the badge of a true Cath
Ole. We need it today as never be-
fore. The apostolate of the Catholic
laylman has flung it's banner out; it's
mission is before us. This is called an
enlightened age-it is enlightened in
everything but Catholic truth. 1t is
not so much prejudice as ignorance
that must be overcome ere the light of
Catholicity pierces the educational tents
Of the jewellers in the valleys of our
country. The great centers of intellec-
tual life whence is supposed to radiate
the sun Of truth-the great secular uni
versities-are today up-to-date, but not
up to Catholic truth, says DR.. Thomas
O'Hagan in the Catholic Telegraph.
The professor of Harvard, Cornell,
John Hopkins and Chicago UNIVERSE
ties goes abroad to teach the truth of
science, the truth Of history, the truth
of art and seeks it everywhere but in
the Catholic church. So the most EN-
ligEhtened Of them still keep on tap
some of the old ISLANDERS. They ad-
vance in everything except Catholic
knowledge. They would be ashamed
to be found mapping in an elementary
principle of science, but they unblush-
ingly stumble over the most elemental
~ teaching of the Catholic church.
History, which has been, as a great
French critic said, a conspiracy for 300
years against truth, still needs the il
Eliminating ray of Catholic truth. 1t
is, however, piercing the thick clouds
Of prejudice slowly.
But the state or secular university
must ever remain irreparably weak in
this: 1t has no standard of truth. 1t
does not, in its teaching, separate
truth from error. 1t has no true or
fixed basis for its judgments.
Let me instance this. A few days
ago was drawn into controversy with
Il graduate student of Chicago uniyer-
sity, and our discussion turned upon
truth. He said to me, "rhere is no
such thing as truth" My reply was
naturally, "Then what are you at the
university for? If the torch of truth
is not there, you must be wandering in
the dark" And l added. "Why, I

Again, there is a lack of poise and
balance in the critical judgment Of
many of these professors. They are
not sane-they are not normal.
\ call to arms! A call to arms! Let
our Catholic laymen-our scholarly
Catholic historical specialists, remove
this condition of things. 1t is easily
done. But we must have courage. We
must attack the citadel of error on
every side. And, remember, let not the
shadow of a name overwhelm us. I'm
der the cap and gown of professor,
i'm some of our great secular or state
universities, there sometimes resides
an ignorance more gross than can be
found in the mind of the unlettered.
1t is not the so-called dark ages that
require illuminating. 1t is the dark
and prejudiced minds of those who
fail to summon to their aid, who fail
to invoke in their study and research
the great light Of Catholic truth.
These indeed, require illumination.

Papal Infallibility.

OF all the dogmas of the Church
papal infallibility is the one least I'M
derstood by non-Catholics; and it must
be admitted that the explanations Civ
EN- in some of our doctrinal manuals
are more confusing than informing. It
need not be said that the decisions of
the Pope as ruler OF supreme judicial
authority delivered on matters of fact
claim our reverence and obedience.
The Holy See is the highest tribunal
in the world, and was once recognized
rs such by all Christendom. But the
question is always coming up, When
does the Pope make an infallible
Judgment? In consequence of the OBJ
vious misunderstanding as to the dog.
ma of papal infallibility in a recent
letter Of Sir Henry Howorth's, the
London Tablet thus enumerates the
critera by which an infallible judg-
ment may be known:
From the very nature of the ques-
ton, three elements present them
selves: First, the Pope; secondly, the
making; thirdly; the judgment. Hence
three plain conditions-one on the part
of each. On the part of the Pope, it
is required that he shall speak in his
capacity as supreme teacher Of all
Christians. On the part of the maxi
ing. it is required that it shall be an
act of doctrinal definition. On the
part of the judgment, it is required
that it shall be matter concerning
faith and morals"
Here we have true conception of
the Catholic doctrine of papal infalli-
bility, says the Ave Maria. If all
Catholic writer's were to observe, as
the Tablet does, the distinction be-
tween brief and a bull, confusion of

Instead Of pleading TOR Home Rule
let the Irish representatives in the
British parliament demand the aboli-
ton of landlordism during the ensu-
ing session. The Presbyterians of the
North, under the guidance of T. w.
Russell, will back the Catholics Of the
rest of Ireland in fighting felonious
landlordism. The land lies at the
bottom of the Irish difficulty. With
out peasant proprietorship Home
Rule would be almost worthless. The
Gladstone bill would not satisfy the
cravings of the Irish people for indie
pendence from British control. If
any Home Rule bill is ever granted,
the Irish must get the control of their
finances and commerce, and any meas
ures passed in Dublin must not be
vetoed in London.
