COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

President Havemeyer of the sugar
trust tells the Senate commission that
until Cuban production should approx
our consumption" Cuba would get
the benefit of a reduced tariff on her
sugar. This is doubtless true. To aid
Cuba was at least the purpose of the
bill. Yet Cuba would not alone profit.
To get reciprocity she must give it. A
generous concession to her means equal
advantages TO American goods solo in
Cuba II would give our farms and
factories a rapidly expanding and prac-
tically exclusive market at our very
door. Yet congress haggles and hest
tates at so plain a duty, so manifest an
advantage,-New York World.

Father O'Connor pointed out to his
hearers that God had done nothing to
them; had inflicted no plague, no ter
rible damnation that they should BIAS
pheme his name and yet so fragrant
has it become and so often do parents
use it that the very boys, American
boys who consider themselves the par

use it in malice among themselves,

The second of the series of sermons
for men was preached last night at the
mission at st. Patrick's Church, to a
congregation even larger than the
night before.
Before the sermon Father Splinter
delivered a short lecture on the rosary
and recited medicines to illustrate how
men had been brought back to their
religion and church through it's means
He told of an incident that came I'M
der his observation in which a man
being severely injured sent for a ply
stefan and a priest. The physician
pronounced the injury fatal and the
man remembering the rosary beads he
had in his pocket asked that they be
given him. He said the rosary and fell
in a deep sleep, which the physician
pronounced his last. He regained con-
sciousness, however, and recovered,
and ever after that he said the rosary
in his home in the evening to his fam
lily. thanking God through it for his
miraculous restoration to his family
by its means. Father Splinter said the
rosary is more important in the mis-
sion than even the sermon and he
hoped everybody would get to the SER
vices before s O'Clock, in time for the
lecture, and to say the rosary.
Father O'Connor preached the SER
mon, taking for his text, Thou shalt
not take the name of the Lord thy
God in vain" He called attention to

some remarks to men about lounging
in the pews as though they were
lounging on a cracker box in front of

Father OConnor began by saying
that this is an age characterized on
every side by indifference to religion
prompted to a great extent by the
teachings of agnostics of whom he
styled Ingersoll the most blatant infi-
del who ever lived in any land or age
The highways of history" he said

have blasphemed the teaching of God.
He classed scientific atheists" as men

to men directing their infamous SHAFTS
against any particular sect or creed.
Plea for Righteous Speaking.
IF you have spark of manhood left
you Will rise in righteous wrath and
revolt against those blasphemers of
your sacrd teachings, your religion,
your God" he said. He advised his
hearers to first clean their own mouths
or profanity, for no name is as sa-
cred as that of Jesus Christ. When
that name sounds throughout heaven
the angels fall to their knees and veil
their faces with their wings, when 1t
sounds through the region of hell its
inmates are thrown into paroxisms Of

comes from the bearer of that name;
then, why, he asked, should it be bias

to be too late to the fire to render
